Trump Says U.S. Should Shoot Barrel-Rolling Russian Planes “At A Certain Point”

[n2doc]

Donald Trump said on Monday that, “at a certain point,” the United States should shoot at Russian planes that barrel roll over U.S. Air Force planes.

Commenting on a Russian SU-27 that conducted a barrel roll over a U.S. aircraft on Friday, the second such maneuver a Russian plane has conducted in the past month, Trump told Indiana radio host Charly Butcher that Obama should first call Putin to object.

“Normally, an Obama, let’s say a president, because you want to make at least a call or two, but normally Obama would call up Putin and say, ‘Listen, do us a favor, don’t do that, get that maniac, just stop it.’ But we don’t have that kind of a president. He’s gonna be out playing golf or something,” Trump said.

“But I don’t know, at a certain point, you can’t take it,” the businessman continued. “I mean, at a certain point, you have to do something that, you just can’t take that. That is not right. It’s against all, you know, when you talk about Geneva convention, there’s gotta be things that are against it. You can’t do that. That’s called taunting. But it should certainly start with diplomacy and it should start quickly with a phone call to Putin, wouldn’t you think?”

He went on to say that, if diplomacy didn’t work, the U.S. should open fire.

Yeah, at the point where you want to start WWIII with a nuclear power. That's the ticket!

1. More proof he doesnt really want the job.

Speaking of huge assholes who are jackasses who would get their asses kicked if they didnt have tons of bodyguards, I watched the Russian Grand Prix yesterday and Putin The Pretender (as I like to call him) was there, acting like a fucking dick.

2. He wants to start a war with Russia over the military equivalent of internet trolling?

Ignore their stupid barrel rolls. Why should be intimidated or scared of them?

3. wow

4. “But I don’t know, at a certain point, you can’t take it,”

“I mean, at a certain point, you have to do something that, you just can’t take that. That is not right. It’s against all, you know, when you talk about Geneva convention, there’s gotta be things that are against it. You can’t do that. That’s called taunting.

I agree, your subject line is misleading

5. What is?

He went on to say that, if diplomacy didn’t work, the U.S. should open fire.

“And if that doesn’t work out, I don’t know, you know, at a certain point, when that sucker comes by you, you gotta shoot,” Trump said. “You gotta shoot. I mean, you gotta shoot. And it’s a shame. It’s a shame. It’s a total lack of respect for our country and it’s a total lack of respect for Obama. Which as you know, they don’t respect.”

8. You tell me, If diplomacy doesn't work

then what do we do?
It is a lack of respect to our country and our President.

[n2doc]

9. We don't start a nuclear war over a 'lack of respect' is what we do

What are we, a country of middle schoolers? Or are we going to be like North Korea and threaten war over every slight of our glorious Leader?

They could skywrite "Obama is a LOSER" over our fleet every day and it would not justify a war.

10. No one but you mentioned a nuclear war

We don't have to go from one extreme to another and we certainly have enough irrational people out there now.

I'm sure there is a medium between diplomacy and nuclear attacks

[n2doc]

11. Do you want to put your butt on the line to defend the President's dignity?

Go on, you are asking others to do so.

What do you think would happen if Putin responded to shooting down one of his warplanes in the Baltic by, say, sinking a carrier?

[moonbabygo]

12. I haven't thought much about shooting down Russia's warplanes

but since you asked, I don't know what Putin would do. I guess he may say oops better not do that again

[sharp_stick]

7. Why would you say it's misleading?

From the end of the article:

“And if that doesn’t work out, I don’t know, you know, at a certain point, when that sucker comes by you, you gotta shoot,” Trump said. “You gotta shoot. I mean, you gotta shoot. And it’s a shame. It’s a shame. It’s a total lack of respect for our country and it’s a total lack of respect for Obama. Which as you know, they don’t respect.”

Shoot at them for a "lack of respect"? Kind of sounds a little Soprano's like.

6. We are so screwed if he gets elected

13. Then Top Gun would have been a 5 minute movie under Trump's direction.

Because Tom cruise would have been blown out of the sky in the opening scene.
