Former U.N. Amb. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) , 51, and 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy went after each other at the Nov. 8 NBC GOP debate in Miami, where Ramaswamy pointed out Haley’s hypocrisy of endorsing 80-year President Joe Biden’s foreign policy. Unlike Ramaswamy that opposes any more Ukraine funding, Haley endorses Biden’s Ukraine War, calling Putin a dictator that threatens war with Beijing over Taiwan. When Ramaswamy said Haley was like “Dick Cheney in 3-inch heels,” he was not insulting her femininity, he was simply pointing out her Neocon ways. Haley did say that Russia and China were the biggest threats to U.S. foreign policy, not mentioning that Biden’s belligerent foreign policy has pushed China into an economic, military and strategic alliance with Russia, all designed to confront American power in Asia and Eastern Europe.
Debate over TikTok over possible breaching U.S. national security was another point of argument for Haley and Ramaswamy. Pointing out Haley’s once, while South Carolina governor, close ties to China shows her hypocrisy, but, more importantly, her aggressive approach to U.S. foreign policy. Haley agreed with Biden who said Sept. 19, 2022 that he would commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan in the case of a Beijing invasion. Biden refused to commit troops to Ukraine, despite supplying Kiev with untold billions to confront the Russian Federation. Ramaswamy disagrees with Haley on continuing supply U.S.. tax dollars to fund the Ukraine government and proxy war against the Russian Federation. Haley backs Biden’s proxy war against the Kremlin, Ramaswamy does not. Ramaswamy thinks it’s counterproductive for U.S. foreign policy to be at war wit h the Kremlin.
Most the media slammed Ramaswamy for bringing up Haley’s daughter over the TikTok issues but it does show Haley’s hypocrisy, especially with he tough talk on China. Calling China America’s biggest adversary does nothing to improve U.S.-Chinese Relations that couldn’t get much worse at this point, short of war. Biden has created the worst conditions with Russia and China in post-WW II history. Biden ended generations of U.S.-Russian diplomacy, détente and arms control since President Harry Truman, all to intervene in a border dispute between Ukraine and Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin, 70, told Biden that if he continued to arm Ukraine, he would be forced to take “technical military measures” designed to neutral the threat to Russian national security. Biden kept arming Ukraine and Putin invaded Feb. 24, 2022. Somehow that turned into the end of U.S.-Russian relations.
No other GOP candidate other than Ramaswamy confronts Haley over her belligerent talk about Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Biden’s proxy war with the Kremlin and threats against Beijing over Taiwan have driven China, Russia, North Korea and Iran into an economic, military and strategic alliance against the United States. How does that advance U.S. foreign policy? Haley plays right into Biden’s mistakes, acting like she’d be a better steward on U.S. national security, Under Biden, the U.S. has lost its leverage in foreign policy, now at the mercy of a new alliance that opposes U.S. foreign policy. Haley shows no differences with Biden’s destructive foreign policy, leaving the U.S. vulnerable to a new alliance with America’s enemies. Haley only promises to make the alliances stronger. Only former President Donald Trump, 77, promises to end Biden’s foreign policy.
Haley says Rasmawamy has no foreign policy experience, contrasting herself serving as Trump’s U.N. ambassador. But what has Haley learned other that going after Russia, China, North Korean and Iran? What kind of twisted foreign policy does Haley have endorsing Biden’s many mistakes? Biden should have never signed onto the Ukraine War against the Kremlin but instead should have initiated an urgent peace process to end the conflict. In the Nov. 8 debate, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) breached national security, telling the debate audience that the Pentagon must continue degrading the Russian military. Scott should have had his security clearance revoked, telling the enemy U.S. strategic military plains in Ukraine. Yet Scott completely agrees with Haley and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) who backs Biden’s proxy war with the Kremlin, whatever the costs to U.S. national security.
Ramaswamy said before the Nov. 8 debate he would stir things up, saying what’s on his mind. In his openings remarks he went after NBC for backing years of fake news stories about Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Haley called Ramaswamy “scum” for bringing up her daughter who regularly uses TikTok after Haley called it a national security threat. Ramaswamy wanted to point out Haley’s tough talks and hypocrisy on China. If the 2024 election can’t get rid of Biden, or, keep Haley and Christie away from the White House, the world will get closer to WW III. Ramaswamy seems to get that Biden’s foreign policy, especially the Ukraine War, damages U.S. national security by driving Russia, China, North Korea and Iran into a dangerous economic, military and strategic alliance. Haley and Chiistie show that their zero degrees of separation between their foreign policy with Biden.
