Why do some people not like Ron Paul's Foreign Policy

let the most powerful state with the most nukes in all of the middle east handle Iran, that would be israel. israel believes that we should sacrifice our children and resources like we did in Iraq. The world would be better today if we had never invaded Iraq, war with Iran would destroy what little is left of America.

Tell me why, in your own words, you think Ron Paul has major issues with his foreign policy. Don't post me a video or an article by Rush Limbaugh or something, I am curious as to what YOU really think and why.

Also, and this is my opinion, you don't seem to be much of a RP supporter as I've noticed from you in the past. Who are you cheering on now, if anyone at all?

The neocons have everyone brainwashed into thinking we have to "spread democracy" .....it's really for everyone's good, don't you know.

Ron Paul does not believe in war without a declaration of
war that only congress can issue.

Our troops would serve us better here at home and not
scattered around the globe.

You have kids?
Send your own children to undeclared unending wars for your masters to die.

Islam has been purposely radicalized so "we" have a reason
to take them out.

If you want something Oil/land/economic dominance that someone else has but you don't have an
excuse in the worlds eyes to take it without becoming the 'Nazis'(just plain evil) you must make them your enemy and once they have the 'gun' in there hand you
can attack saying "you all saw it, he had a gun"

Which country controls HAARP/EMF weapons? and your worried about cave dwellers and Iran that doesn't even have an airforce that can reach us?

The best offense is a good defense

Ron Paul believes in defense of our liberty and borders,

You do not

LOL, yeh, at the point of a gun or cruise missile. Damned friendly and democratic of them.

It's anti-'semitic' because Ron Paul wouldn't allow the US to be israels bitch anymore...
The universe has a way of balancing itself out despite the opposition. israel is in a tight spot, but they put themselves there, not us.
We are bankrupt! Why should we borrow from china to add to our taxes just to give it to israel or any other country.
Why does calling someone anti-'semitic' carry such weight among people anyway? If a jewish wants something and you say no your anti-semitic?
Mmm ok?

American's are dying because they are stupid and superstitious. Iran is not a threat to the world realistically, spiritually its a black eye to Christian American and oil industry due to their oil bourse. Please read....................ANYTHING OTHER THAN PARANOID RIGHT WING BS!

Iran is not gonna Nuke anybody. Israel can only survive by starting to treat their neighbours as equal and opening up their governmen and allow non jewish political parties. Their government now does not represent all the people.
There is no need for the US to have bases all over the world, except if they want to force cheap oil or other resource deals, force some kind of politics or force some kind of finance in a country.

BINGO!

Exactly. I couldn't say it better.

Wow, I've never seen this before.. a reverse shill.
On the side of the thing he's fighting for, using poor grammar, capslock, and mindless pictures, thus making it look like RP supporters are idiots.
This is a new one.
By the way before you blast me with 10 unrelated pictures with various
1337 speak on them, I support Ron Paul.

If you disagree with jewish people nowdays your anti-semitic.

If you don't want Israel to run America, your anti-semetic.

Wrong.

If the exit polls show that we voted for Ron Paul by a landslide and he doesn't get the nomination we will definitely pick up our pitchforks. I don't think "they" are ready for that yet.

We're not all dumbed down.

- Would Hitler have left us alone? Yes
- Would the Japanese Emperor Hirohito just left us alone?
Definitely, yes
- Would Khrushchev have left us alone in 1963 in Cuba? Probably
- Would The Roman Empire have just left us alone?
Umm, does not apply
- Would the Muslim CRUSADERS have just left us alone?
Does not apply

Shills LOSE again.. Totally destroyed!!

hitler followed japan. japan attacked because of the oil embargo. oil embargo was put in place because? think about it

mexico? they helped the USA. the nazis were free to offer anything they wanted, it doesn't mean anyting

cuba? after USA planted missiles in who's backyard? again, why where these missiles placed in someone's backyard? think about it

.
... he has NO understanding of the muslim mind ...
.
... muslims are now ALL people groups BUT they are guided by their book ...
.
... Paul has NO idea what's in there and has NO understanding of the world-wide caliphate that is in the making ...
.

I didnt make up those labels,,, they have specific meanings that transcend US 2 party squabbling. In fact, they are international...

....

World wide caliphate? This from people who live in mud huts and herd goats? This from people who can hardly agree on anything except they don't like Israel? This from countries whose combined military power couldn't successfully invade Portugal?

They have no navy, no capability to project power, no technology of their own and no economic power. What exactly are you scared of and why?

I suspect that Ron Paul's stance on staying out of conflicts would be more rational than you seem to be expressing here.

Firstly, you have to remember he will be given the same advice that other Presidents have...He just might find different or maybe even better solutions.



So to your points

- Would Hitler have left us alone?

Hitler wanted Europe! There is a theory however that if he he had managed to overrun Russia, he would have been a far bigger threat to the USA. But why would that worry you? Sarah Palin could watch him from her kitchen window as part of her foreign policy credentials... Sorry only joking!



However, Hitler was a megalomaniac and if he had defeated Russia, Europe and Britain he probably would have wanted it all! The tripartite pact of 1940 certainly put all of the world under threat!

But putting this in as an argument against Ron Paul (in current times) is rather a long bow with a tiny arrow!

- Would the Japanese Emperor Hirohito just left us alone?

As Germany, Italy and Japan had signed the tripartite pact of 1940 Well NO! Hence the bombing of Pearl Harbour on the 7th Dec 1941. But, you have no idea how Ron Paul would have responded in these circumstances. Under his leadership America might have been more ready due to his attitude to security at home.

Who really knows?

- Would Khrushchev have left us alone in 1963 in Cuba?

Probably not, BUT would Ron Paul have responded - probably! Remember he will be getting advice from the military and other advisors. But would he have launched the "Bay of Pigs" - probably not!

- Would The Roman Empire have just left us alone?

I thought they did. You were ruled by the Brits prior to the War of Independence...lol

- Would the Muslim CRUSADERS have just left us alone?

Probably, they had no way of getting to you at the time. PLUS if you aren't of Native American extraction... your family wasn't there at the time!

Here is one view - [link to answering-islam.org]

However, one thing you didn't mention was that Palestine actually supported Germany in WW2. This actually might support the case you make although how you weave Ron Paul into it is a little befuddling.

Here is one view - [link to www.palestinefacts.org]



Is it fair to call Ron Paul's policies LAISSEZ-FAIRE, and ISOLATIONIST I thought he said he would communicate with them openly.

Obviously this could fail, but intervention isn't working either. Is the world a safer place today than 10 years ago? Probably not!

A lot rests on this next USA election, so I hope you guys manage to get it right!

Sorry I am just an outsider looking in, but surely we all need to stay calm and rational in these uncertain times, and be less parochial and over emotional.
