Joe Scarborough Giddy Over Souring Russian-US Relations, Says Russia is Helpless to Protect Syria

I want you to watch the clip below to see what we’re dealing with in the media. This is a former Congressman, well connected amongst the elite in our country, who is rumored to be texting buddies with Jared Kushner, giddy over the specter of souring Russian-US relations.

“A week ago, you have little Devin Nunes going back and forth, going, ‘What do I say, what do I say about Russia, what do I say about Russia?’ and Sean Spicer getting killed,” he added.

“Now, the Russians snub Tillerson — I mean, if I’m Donald Trump, I’m thinking these are good days.”

This is all a joke for neocon Joe — him and his stupid haircut — especially since it’s not his fat face having to fight the wars to come. After bathing in his wanton stupidity for celebrating poor relations with the only other global nuclear superpower, Joe then reveled in the idea that Putin was humiliated by the Syrian ordeal. If I’m Putin and I read this, I order someone to kick Scarborough down a flight of stairs, shrouded by sarin gas, tomorrow.

“Russian foreign policy since Christmas 1991 has been all about resentment, resentment of losing the cold war. So you go into Crimea, you go into Georgia, you go into these places that you’re not going to face a show of force. Imagine how humiliating it is for Vladimir Putin that (laughter) his troops are in Syria and have the United States say we don’t care if you’re in Syria or not, you can’t do anything about it. In fact, we’re going to tell you, we’re going to strike your client state and you’re going to do nothing about it. If you want to get your people out of the way that’s fine. If you don’t we’re gonna kill them. And so, why does he stay there when he knows he’s got a guy like Assad?”

“We sure as hell have shown we can strike Syria even when their warplanes are there. Do you know how embarrassing it is for Vladimir Putin when he’s trying to project strength? I got this big gas station and I’m in Syria too. Well, great, you can’t even protect your client in Syria. Embarrassing.”

These aren’t the words of a stable man, by any stretch of the imagination. Wanting to provoke war with a formidable superpower, or anyone for that matter, is disgusting and not at all representative of how most Trump supporters feel about national defense.

    What need is there for Putin to protect Assad now? We didn’t even take out Assad’s air strips at the base we bombed. Assad was killing his own people again, albeit with more conventional weapons, with his strikes from that air base the very next day.

    I guess the U.S. is going to try to keep Assad from using chemical weapons to butcher his people. He’ll just kill them all with conventional weapons. That’s not a very big change here. Assad just used chemical weapons because he wanted to see what he could get away with, now that the Orange One is the U.S. president.

    We shouldn’t be buddy buddy with a brutal authoritarian dictator like Putin. If we are not, good for us. Not should we seek unnecessary conflict with him.

      Supporting an act of war on our part and dismissing the few heroic US politicians who have argued for fact finding (i.e. aiming) before we launch missiles makes you squarely aligned with evil. You seem to proudly revel in your low informationism. Strange.

      Geography… access to the Mediterranean. The Bosphorous is the only point of entry at this moment. History can be written and re-written… geography has its own gravitas.

    The problem with war with Russia, is there will be no front lines. Neocon Scarborough Joe will have a Satan 2 with his name on it that can take out an area the size of Texas and render it uninhabitable for 1000 years, thereby his supreme idiocy will take millions of Americans down with him.

    Damn I guess like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, appointed by Trump, bears no responsibility for the direction we’re heading in? Nor does Trump and his “Ivanka was devastated” killer leadership instincts and political flexibility re: bombing Syria?
    Definitely *insert MSM pundit’s* fault.

    The media coverage of the Syria strike has been reprehensible. Maybe they should spend more time covering the bloody grinding warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq that doesn’t have beautiful cruise missile rocket trails for the video feed.

      Good point. But first, we would have to have free and independent press; not the captured zionist propaganda from which frog gets his news from. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
      However, even Hitler got it wrong with the press in Germany – he wanted to bring press under State control, which is what we have now. Obviously, as we can see, that does not work either.

      Chapter 10 – Why the Second Reich Collapsed

      I believe that our present generation would easily master this
      danger if they were rightly led. For this generation has gone through
      certain experiences, which must have strengthened the nerves of all
      those who did not become nervously broken by them. Certainly in days to come, the Jews will raise a tremendous cry throughout their newspapers, once the hand is laid on their favourite net. Once the move is made to put an end to this scandalous press and once this instrument which is public opinion is brought under state control and no longer left in the hands of aliens and enemies of the people. I am certain that this will be easier for us than it was for our fathers. The scream of the twelve-inch shrapnel is more penetrating than the hiss from a thousand Jewish newspaper vipers. Therefore let them go on with their hissing.

          The charge today, on the eve of ww3, is the same as the charge prior to ww2:
          “jewish media declares war on germany” in 1933!!!!

          Who controls the news today? Who declared war on ME and supports bombing in ME today? Who defied Trump, a president elected to pull out of ME and make peace with Russia?

          Pointing out the obvious is anti-semitic?

    This is all a scharade to boost military spending. There will be no further escalation. Short the VIX and go enjoy the sunshine. Christ you people are reactionary.

    You need to leave people with some dignity. Saving face is a big thing in certain cultures and that should be taken into account off the record.

    The Left loves to tell people what to do. That’s why they’re giddy right now. Someone else is being told what to do.

    Can we please normalize relations with Russia so we can all get back to making fun of liberals and deporting Dreamers.

      That was Trump’s job, to normalize relations with Russia. That’s why he was voted in by the people { Bane voice: “….because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people.” }

    Don’t waste time protecting Syrians from ISIs and El Qaeda. That’s silly. Just let them all die already.

    Joe is full of great ideas
