Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
After eight years of Barack Obama’s pathetic fecklessness, America has got its feck back.
And the whiny progressives who prefer our woman-enslaving, gay-tossing, toddler-crucifying enemies to the guy who beat their designated heir to the Crown (Royal) are in a tizzy.
Oh no, America is refusing to continue down the path of submission, humiliation, and utter failure blazed by President Faily McWorsethancarter!
Heavens, we can’t have our enemies respecting us, much less fearing us!
Gosh, we can’t have America re-assuming its rightful place in the world – after all, weren’t we taught that the United States is the root of all evil by our pony-tailed TAs at Fussboy U?

In fact, Donald Trump is in the process of doing what Barack Obama never did and what he and his coterie of pompous twits and political hacks masquerading as a foreign policy brain trust could never do. Trump is establishing a successful foreign policy doctrine. It’s not precisely old school Republican doctrine. It’s also not the activist Bush Doctrine, which is often labeled “neo-con” by people who think “cuck” is a sick burn.
Trump’s policy is “America First.” Obama’s policy was “Blame America First.” Obama employed force only after extensive agonizing and never in the amount required to actually win. The Obama Doctrine was about staving off defeat just long enough so the next sucker would get stuck dealing with the resulting mess while The Lightbringer chills doing who knows what sans spouse in the South Pacific as Bill Ayers types up his memoirs for him.
Obama treated our allies like dirt, and he didn’t just embolden our enemies. He paid them – literally – with pallet loads of cash. Of course our enemies stopped fearing us. To the extent Putin diddled with our election by exposing the depths of Democrat corruption, it’s because he wasn’t afraid of that posing, prancing puffboy in the White House.
Putin’s rethinking his play now, as are those Seventh Century cultists in Tehran and that bloated bratwurst in Pyongyang. They all saw Obama for what he was – a preachy wuss without the stones for a fight, adhering to the motto “Make Love, not war.”
Trump though? “We don’t understand what they’re going to do in Syria, and not only there,” pouted some Putin puppet. Good. When you’re acting like the most dangerous guy in the room, everyone else thinks twice about making any sudden moves. Be careful, because Trump might just kick your Harry Reid.
There’s been a lot of talk about how Trump is “changing his policies” and “flip-flopping.” The mainstream media is desperate for a “Trump Fails!” narrative that might stick, and “Trump Betrays His Supporters By Fighting America’s Enemies!” is as good as any.
Baloney. These prissy pundits don’t get the essential nature of either Donald Trump or the American people. They confuse Trump’s critique of establishment foreign policy – one that resonated with the Americans our fey elite asks to carry the burden of their interventionist shenanigans – with pure isolationism and even pacifism. It is nothing of the sort. Americans are sick of their lives and treasure being squandered by dithering milquetoasts who tie our troops’ hands and won’t do what’s necessary because they can’t get it through their pointy heads that if it’s important enough to fight a war, then we damn well ought to win it.
Putting America’s interests first does not mean putting our heads in the sand. Americans know these savages need killing, and they happy to oblige. Army General George S. Patton understood this essential truth: “Americans love to fight…. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. The very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.”
Congratulations Washington, you managed to disprove Patton on one point. We haven’t won a ground war since Desert Storm in 1991, and we won that because we found the enemy, we fixed them in position, and we killed those bastards until they begged for mercy. Then we came home. That’s the lesson, and Trump seems to get it. What Americans are tired of is having their sons and daughters coming home in bags because D.C. hand-wringers were butch enough to start a fight, but not men enough to finish it.
Notably, the new National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster is a Desert Storm legend, a cavalryman from the mighty VII Corps. See the pieces come together?
Trump gets that we can’t fix Syria, and he has zero intention of dropping in tens of thousands of America’s sons and daughters to teach its inhabitants to play nice. But spraying sarin on little kids crossed the line, morally and strategically. Assad didn’t have to use it; he chose to, and he chose to because he thought he could rub Trump’s nose in America’s impotence the way he had done to Sissy O’Redline.
Trump came under fire from platoons of Eames chair generals and hipster blogtroopers sharing the strategic savvy they earned fetching a thousand lattes. Most of them have never thrown or taken a punch, and they didn’t understand that the only way to stop a bully is with a haymaker to the jaw. Trump’s message was loud and clear, and not just to that little creep cowering in Damascus. Everyone saw what happens when you get in Trump’s face, and how fast the fists flew. And just wait until they see our 350-ship Navy.
Trump’s Tomahawk strike was a tactical and strategic success. Tactically, it bashed a decent chunk of Bashar’s air force. Strategically, it gave dictators and thugs pause – and the limited nature of the response kept us from being sucked into another quagmire in which our magnificent warriors’ sacrifice and success would be squandered by subsequent Democrats a la Vietnam and Iraq. Plus it demonstrated that the key processes for executing American foreign policy are in place and operating again. The Trump Team understands that firmness and focus saves lives by deterring our enemies.
The MOAB strike was vintage Trump. Typical Obama – we had a weapon system that American forces needed, but the military probably didn’t even bother asking to use it. With Trump, they don’t have to ask. Here’s Trump’s order: “Win.”
Trump meets with the Chinese leader and a week later the Chi-Coms are leaning on the Norks. Yet the clueless media is whining that suddenly Trump’s altered some of his positions on trade issues, missing the connection entirely. But in the media’s defense, it has been eight years since Americans walked out of a negotiation having kept their pants.
The mouth-breathing media tells us Trump has done a 180 degree turn on NATO. Nonsense. Trump, like most Americans, rejects the “You hate NATO, you NATO-hating knuckle draggers!” shrieks from the establishment every time some patriot wonders why the Europeans were, for the most part, not pulling their weight in their own defense. Trump simply told them that we are done shrugging and covering the cash shortfalls while they take money that they promised would be going to guns and give it to rape-focused refugees. That’s not at all unreasonable and, as someone who supports NATO and who wears a NATO medal, some real talk was long overdue and necessary to sustain this critical alliance. NATO’s “friends,” by using cheap invective to shield it from legitimate criticism, imperiled its support among the American people. To save NATO, we must fix NATO. That will happen. Word is out that Rick Grenell is likely to be named the NATO ambassador; that would be another terrific addition in the President’s emerging all-star national security team.
In response, the desperate Democrats are trying to play tough, and it’s adorable. They hate it when a Republican stands up for America’s interests over those of foreigners abroad almost as much as when one stands up for normal Americans here at home (If Hillary had won, we may well have seen the same peace and love here as they created in Libya). That’s why the Russian nonsense was so hysterical. Watching Democrats pretend to oppose the Russkies is the fakest fake since Meg Ryan faked it in When Harry Met Sally.
Trump is playing tough with our actual enemies. The only enemies that Obama’s national security hacks like Susan “The Video Did It!” Rice and failed young adult romance novelist Ben Rhodes were ever interested in defeating were Obama’s political enemies. We eagerly await the Netflix miniseries that tells their story, Orange is the New Pinko.
It’s again clear that if you are thinking about getting uppity with the U.S. of A, you are rolling the dice. Of course, the liberals whine, which is good because the volume of their yelps is a terrific metric for success. The more they cry about it, the better an idea it is. May they weep long and hard, because America has got its feck back.
Who is this fuck? He should go jerk off and get rid of some of that sperm backup. It’s called Defense not offense. USA USA…
He’s a retired military pension sucker who also happens to be a corporate trial lawyer. In other words, he’s a shitbag shyster who was a REMF infantry colonel before he retired and he writes war/political porn including a fantasy in which his man-crush Ted Cruz becomes president and beats the shit out of ISIS.

That’s all I know about him other than that his columns suck out loud for a fat man’s ass. Surely there has to be more.
Fuckin’ balding shyster who sold his soul to be an armed thug. His brains have obviously been compromised. Shame on Burning Platform for publishing this piece of shit
Much disgust with this bimbo. For brevity sake, I’ll just mention one item.
“Trump is playing tough with our actual enemies.”
Just exactly who are our enemies? Who has attacked the US? We have troops in most of the countries on planet earth – are they all enemies.
Jack off for me to and Stucky.
Another Orwellian term “Dept of Defense” LMAO. When the fuck did this department ever Defend America from anything. As far as I can tell, it should be renamed to what is was prior to WWII. The Department of War, because that’s what it does, brings war to the world.
Trump was not elected to continue the military adventures of the past 60 years. He was elected to end them. If Syria is a issue, let people with skin in the game deal with it. Same with North Korea. All this shit is just feeding the same beast that Eisenhower warned us about. The military industrial complex.
Trump has been cucked, just like the rest of them. Sad but true. America has been the world’s bully for the past 60 years and we will deserve the 2×4 we get in the back of the head when it comes. Too bad it will be the people that will suffer and not these greedy psycopaths who drive us to war.
Trump has an interest in war, he is a 60 MILLION dollar shareholder in ExxonMobile and Raytheon.
Raytheon went up 5 billion in value after the Syria bombings and oil prices took a jump which certainly showed up at the gas pumps where I live. And Tillerson was most likely smiling all the way to the bank also.
Why in the name of all that is right and holy would you morans down my post???
If that info is on Corbett Report or VT or even half the fukkin internet you clowns eat it up and grunt with approval. Fuck Y’all. Keep living in your El Douche make believe world you stupid twats.
thumbs up from me!
I tried to find information on the internet about that Exxon Mobile stock ownership but it isn’t readily available.
Where would I find it?
I love how all this canned analysis pours out from the woodwork as soon as “Assad uses chemical weapons on his people” and not one single sentence is devoted to the fact that there is actually no evidence that he actually did. All this mental masturbation over something that hasnt been and most likely never will be proven. These types of articles are simple declarations of demonic servitude. What better way to declare yourself an unthinking minion!
Ok, good. After reading the comments thus far I feel better. For a while there I thought TBP had been taken over by the NeoRats who pulled W’s chain. It was, after all W who last had that idiotically belligerent view of foreign policy and didn’t that end well? Luckily it’s just this one dope suffering from penis envy out loud. My guess is that the comeuppance this nation has earned will likely come from a financial rather than a military disaster although both are in play. Going around the world sweating other nations problems-which no American with at least a room temperature IQ gives a shit about- while up to your cowlick in hock sows the seeds of it’s own destruction.
“You can ignore reality but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality”. A. Rand
I always loved that Ayn Rand quote. I fear more false flags are on their way, as the neocucks and libtards in the media take up the spectacle with a religious fervor that reminds me of a rabid dog. All the while most americans would rather talk about the you tube video where the cat pees in the raccoons butt.
Since by most accounts only 4 to 6 percent of the population have awoken to the enslavement that is modern day america I would expect the beatdowns to continue until moral improves. Or until the whole shit house goes up in flames.
After 8 years of Obama, the new tone of the country feels great, but are we flexing our muscles without wisdom? We are barreling down a very dangerous path towards a war we are being pulled into, not one of our own choosing. Although it seems good that we are engaging China in the handling of North Korea, it is unwise to put your country’s security in the hands of a possible unfaithful partner; especially with the brewing civil war within our shores. Unfortunately, we are all in armchairs and watching events unfold. Pray and prepare.

No, Kurt, Trump won’t be punked by the little pissant “foreign dirtbags” he’s bombing. He’s already been punked by the neocon war party. He’s on his knees with his pants down and his ass in the air.
You fucking neocon mongoloid.
I could refute the whole blog article as wrong at every point, but will just make one example that sums up how out of touch with the present reality this is. Patton was born in the 1800’s, he could say the US had never lost a war. Since then it has never won one, including Gulf War because we are still there, so Shiller has no excuse. Over half our missiles missing and not even disabling the target did not strike fear into anyone, only warn them not to trust Trump again. I only hope when WE roll the dice too many times, they just shoot down our planes and sink our ships, but don’t nuke us. They don’t build civilian bunkers for nothing though.
I noticed a poll on Drudge this morning that puts Trump at 50% approval now. Do you think it’s the same pollster that had him losing the election? You would think the country agrees with Schlicter.
Try 35% and falling. Trump complains about fake news that’s not really fake. 50% approval IS actually fake news. That’s pretty obvious.
“Only the dead have seen the end of war.”
-Jorge Santayana
No they haven’t. They are dead and it still continues. It sounds profound, but it’s actually kind of dumb. Not something Einstein would say for sure.
Well Trump’s punked his supporters and you Schlichter you old balding shyster twat.
