Ron Paul: Mutually Assured Destruction vs Mutually Assured Respect 9/15/11 - Awesome Video

How sad would it be if the troops only came home when we finally came to our economic knees
The worst possible way to bring troops back home

Of course once that would happen you would have elites moving to resorts while chaos would occur here while they watch with popcorn and 10k single malts.

But this video has a very strong message though
If you know many people, shoot them this video if possible

I think that this itself should be a TV Ad

The video is also sad too, because it really highlights so much that is upside down but still supported by the people

There he is again, dropping knowledge in a calm, easy to understand way for all.

This guy should run for President!

Although I'm not completely with every one of Ron Pauls policies; nothing amounts to the mass of suffering we've caused overseas. An estimated 1.4 million innocent Iraqis killed following 9/11 because our decision to invade based on false pretenses. And that's just scratching the surface.

Some people may call him crazy; but who's really the crazy one when you're cheering on a form of exceptionalism that revels in the slaughter millions of innocent people.

Ron Paul is my president.

Nice message. Now if only we can have everyone working together for this great idea.

As always, a pleasure to get educated by Dr Paul. I wish they could have produced this video without his eyeballs being glued to the teleprompter. It's not his usual. He seems a bit stiff at first, but he warms up.

I hope he changes the White House, one way or another.

How can anyone view this vid and still say Ron Paul is some kind of nut? This country has lost it's way so badly. We have been brainwashed into believing it's okay for us to traipse all over the globe with our military whenever we get the urge to, simply because we're the big, bad U.S.

What a joke. In his farewell address, George Washington said words that are very similar to what Ron Paul says here regarding our relationships with other nations. He advised us to remain neutral and maintain friendships with foreign countries as much as possible, and not to show favoritism, among many other things.

Everyone should review that speech of Washington's it is eerily prophetic.

What?! Other countries might hate us, and want to attack us for bullying them?! What give's them the right?!

I guess the idea of respect must be fringe and extreme since everybody says Ron Paul is too extreme.

Great video, truly a man of principle.

If you like Ron Paul, don't forget to register as a republican if you're in a closed state primary so you can vote for him, spread the message far and wide and let's win this election.

LOL.....

(****Cue Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue"****eye roll***)

Wow, he was reading some anti-american script calling for an end to US millitary power, US economic power, US diplomatic power.

Now in this mutually assured garbage talk, who is the other side of the mutual agreement that will give up their millitary powers, trade powers and foreign political powers?

There are none.

Is China going to be nice and forgive our debt or start paying their citizens benefits and high salaries so industry returns here? Are EU powers going to stop their corporate takovers of US companies and give back what they already got? Are Arab League nations going to start pumping oil like there is no tomorrow so we all get cheap gas at the pump instead of turning the screws on their spiggots tighter?

Why are nations on earth persuing missile technology to marry to nuclear weapons technology, China, N Korea, India, Iran? You think they will mutually respect us and each other and give that idea up?

Oh and Palestinians and Israeli's will follow the Ron Paul example and respect us for going home and in turn mutually respect each other. Nothing to worry about over in that part of the world.

One must negotiate from a position of power or you cannot even sit at the table. What a sad looking script reading puppy. Wonder how many communists and other assorted anti-americans it took to write that script?

Indeed. Because the American way is to make sure everyone else knows how big your balls are. Your superiority must be known by all! Those who oppose your mighty will shall deal with the extreme exceptionalism! POW!

lol...good talk Ron.

Haven't you heard? People like TinfoilTP say RP is unelectable, anti-American, and wants to assure the destruction of our nation.

How could you possibly think that someone like Ron Paul will uphold the moral values of kollectivism, war for profit, and unrecoverable debt to multinational bankers will see to the needs of the people? You are quite short-sighted, sir. "Run for President", indeed.

Not wanting to get bankrupted is anti-americanism?
Wow, I'd hate to hear what you think is pro-americanism

Depends, who else has over 800 bases in over 130 countries?
Please advise!

You are not too up to date on current events are you?
You mentioned North Korea. U.S. gave billions of dollars to Pakistan for their Nuclear project and guess what
Pakistan shared that Nuclear intelligence with N. Korea,
Ron Paul wants to end foreign aid and it's also illegal for the U.S. to give foreign aid to nuclear countries/states.
India, who is funding India's nuclear projects as well?
You are so lost in the sauce

Ron Paul wants to end foreign aid and military aid to both countries
U.S. is only prolonging the war if anything

You are lost in the sauce

Ron Paul simply does not understand Jihad.

His entire foreign policy amounts to "they'll be nice if we're nice". It is infantile and dangerous.

The man doesn't even recognize Jihad as a civilizational threat. He believes that if we leave the muslims alone, the muslims will leave us alone. Live-and-let-live is a Western concept not Islamic. The Jihad will not stop because Ron Paul enacts a foreign policy of "being nice". The Jihad will speed ahead using his ignorance as a weapon and a tender, weak spot to attack American interests at home and abroad.

Ron Paul needs to learn about the enemies of America and Western Civilization.

One of the first things America had to do was form the Marines to combat the jihading muslims taking booty. And we have been under jihad attack ever since.

No you simply don't understand it yourself, did you ever read OBL's declaration of war?

Do you even know why this all happened? I read from your post that you're not any different from the Bush administration and mainstream media with all of your fear-mongering.

Ron Paul, a man thats actually served in the military, and has been discussing foreign policy in the middle east for decades suddenly knows less than yourself? really?

..loool.. "...Jihad as a civilizational threat..".. no serious person is worried remotely about that, really..

There's no "jihad" on Mexico or Costa Rica.. or me, or you.. there are however strangers, millions, who have been personally affected by GOP/DNC party leaders policies.. some are pissed at having their friends killed, wedding bombed, kid sanctioned to death, elected leaders couped.. and so on.

Bombing people then expecting them to like us.. is ridiculous.. people around here are still crying about ONE attack on ONE US city 10 years ago.. try shock & awe lifestyle of an iraqi or libyan with relentless bombings in every city.. all because some guy they had nothing to do with was unpopular with a scant few countries.

Dr. Paul is making a simple point: take away the reasons "they're" angry and maybe they wont be as angry.. talk to them, listen and display genuine virtue.. perhaps a few more aren't as pissed off.

It's called making friends with strangers.. tourists do it every day.
