Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, 60, spelled out his foreign policy, mirroring 80-year-old President Joe Biden’s aggressive stance on Russia in Ukraine. Christie talks tough, only echoing everything Biden and nothing showing any independent analysis of U.S. foreign policy. Christie tried to contrast himself with Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, both opposed to Biden’s proxy war using Ukrainian troops to battle the Kremlin. “We have folks in the race who have called Vladirmir Putin brilliant, a great leader,” Christie said, referring sarcastically to Trump. “Just yesterday, Donald Trump said he that he was the apple of Putin’s eye. I have to tell you the truth. I don’t want to b e the able of Vladimir Putin’s eye,” Christie said, echoing the Biden policy.
Biden said March 26, 2022 in Warsaw, Poland, only a month after the Russian invasion, that Putin should no longer be Russian president. One month later April 26, 2022, 69-year-old Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the aim of the U.S. mission in Ukraine is to weaken the Russia military to the point it can no longer wage war. Christie, like other Neocons and war hawks in Washington, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), seek war wit the Russian Federation. “A Christie administration would stand up for our friends around the world and work with them,” he added, the same policy that landed the U.S. into a perpetual war with the Russian Federation. Christie talks tough but really he rubber stamps the Biden policy. Biden’s foreign policy has been a train wreck with relations with Russia, China and North Korea now on a war footing, tossing out decades of diplomacy and détente.
Christie must be called out for embracing the Biden policy, the most destructive foreign policy seen in U.S. history. All the Cold War years following WW II, nothing got to the current proxy war against the Russian Federation. Christie thinks Trump’s past relations with Putin, keeping the U.S. out of foreign wars, was a bad thing. Christie admires Biden who took as stand to defend Ukraine against the Kremlin, now embroiling the U.S. into the worst war on the European Continent since WW II. Christie’s foreign policy mirrors Biden, showing no tolerance for authoritarian regimes. Under Christie the world would face more U.S. military intervention, making diplomacy with U.S. adversaries less likely. “We need to stand up for people who want freedom,” Christie said, referring to Ukraine. Christie promises a world in perpetual war, eventually requiring U.S. troop deployments.
Christie talks tough just like Biden, who, without thinking, decided to committee untold billions of U.S. tax dollars to fight endless foreign wars. “And if we let the Chinese do that kind of domination game, because we’re unprepared or unwilling to deter them, then they will not stop there. And we’ve seen this act before,” Christie said, committing the U.S. to go beyond Biden to war with China. Christie’s reckless thought involves no thinking at all, only trying to contrast himself to Trump and DeSantis, both opposed to the Ukraine War. Christie sees China as posing the biggest risk to the United States, promising to stand up to American adversaries. What would a war with China look like to Christie? Does Christie really think the Pentagon, as it’s currently stands, can start a war with China because he thinks China pushes people around? Christie criticizes Trump for getting along with adversaries.
Christie talks cavalierly about standing up to China, as if the U.S. economy doesn’t have enough problems conducting foreign policy. Since taking office, Biden has wrecked U.S.-Russian and U.S.-Chinese relations to the point to doing the unthinkable, going to war against the Kremlin. If you listen to Christie, he talks like he won’t tolerate Communist China’s aggressive foreign policy in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Christie talks like, if he’s president, get ready for a new battlefront in Asia. What U.S. Asian ally wants to go to war with Communist China? Biden’s abysmal leadership is due to letting his inexperienced underlings conduct U.S. national security. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, 60, and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, 45, have made a mess of things, promoting antipathy toward Russia and China. This could get a lot worse under a more aggressive Christie.
Christie talks crazy like the U.S. can afford to go to war with the U.S. biggest trading and manufacturing partners. “We’re not looking at a land war in Russia anymore. The Russian army has shown their inability to beat Ukraine,” Christie said, sounding the supreme ignoramus. Christie gets his intel from Ukraine’s 45-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose only interest is keeping U.S. tax dollar flowing into Kiev’s coffers. Russia hasn’t lost it conflict in Ukraine, it’s taken some 25% of Ukraine sovereign territory, including its Black Sea coast and all its ports. Russian forces have dug into Ukraine, forcing Zelensky to rethink his counteroffensive, now seeing it as a long-term fight, taking years, not months, if ever. Christie thinks Russia has lost, when it occupies Ukraine’s most strategic real estate. Chritie’s judgment is as bad as it looks, a hazard to the U.S. national security.
