What will happens if a nation's leader knows next to nothing about warfare or Foreign Policy? Do Generals take over from there? Our president for example is the Commander and Chief of our Armed Forces. What happens if they don't really know how to properly allocate our military power based on our current foreign policy

This is why they have a shit ton of advisor's.

>>72256097
Probably not since George Washington.

Whose foreign policy, op? The fuck-with-everyone, arm terrorists, perpetual warfare that only gets soldiers killed or the free trade with all, no entangling alliances policy?
If we are basing "foreign policy" on what has been going on for the last two presidencies, then I'd say it's time for a change.
>>72256094
unless the president is a military man and worked in intel or any intelligence agency I would be highly suspect of their ability to do foreign policy. Our president is really a figurehead albeit with the ablity to make executive orders, the real decisions are made by the specialist appointed by the president a good example is George h w bush while bush was an idiot his advisors were dumber then him and made even worse choices then him
>>72256094
You think Obama, a fucking lawyer knew anything about warfare? Or Reagan?
The job of POTUS is to surround himself with the best advisers, its his judgement based on advice from subject matter specialists that will determine a good leader.
And Trump has made more important decisions in one day of running a multi-billion empire than Obama or Reagan have combined, prior to becoming pres.

He doesn't lose his money, his investors do
He proposes retarded idea A, gets investors to chuck their money into it
He then pulls his money plus some of the investor money out and it fails
He is currently under investigation for falsified job placement data from his university
He is under investigation for making false claims about the status of one of his luxury condo projects to pull in more investors
When his Atlantic City casino failed he sued to have his name removed from the name of the property

So, while he was in the finance, he made his company great by raping other companies and you don't want him as a president?
>>72256139
he's not being investigated over anything
He may be currently in a lawsuit in regards to those things, which he has addressed by saying he could settle them tomorrow, he just doesn't want to settle
>>72256094
Wanna see what happens when a president knows nothing about warfare or foreign policy? Go ahead and look at the last 7 years.
I have a theory about Trump. He was a liberal for just about his whole life. Then, in 2011, obama roasted him at White House Press Night. After that, Trump came out as Republican and said he was going to run in 2012. He didn't get to, so he's trying again now. I think it's all just some big revenge plot to get back at obama.
>>72256146
>He was a liberal for just about his whole life
Actually, he was a pretty staunch republican until sometime in the mid 80s.
>>72256106

So I ask who is the most qualified?
>>72256153
Probably Hillary, tbqh
>>72256154
are you serious?
If anything she has proven that she is incapable of proper foreign policy decisions.
Literally anyone would be better.
Have you ever heard of benghazi? Or the arms transfers she did to the middle eastern "moderates"
>>72256155
I think she's the most qualified of the 4, which is not saying much.
>>72256154
She is only were she is because she is a woman and it is the female vote that props her up. She is the most corrupt the world stage has seen in decades, at least in the West.
If you vote for her, she will lie, cheat and steal. You will not be able to trust her beyond the moment.
>>72256157
>Should be in prison for corruption
>Handily winning the Democrat nomination
And liberals wonder why moderates hate them
>>72256156
You're an idiot in that case.
>>72256153
Hillary is EASILY the most qualified candidate. She'll make a decent president, probably not as good as Obama though.
>>72256155
>benghazi
after literally years of investigation, the most she can be accused of so far is improperly storing her emails
>the arms transfers she did to the middle eastern "moderates"
sanctioned by the legislature and the president

Didn't say I was going to vote for her, but I am having a genuinely hard time deciding which of the four I hate the least.

The president is head of armed forces precisely so you never end up with the military suddenly running shit. He okays their plans and is never actually expected to run a fucking war.

Of course she is. The GOP isn't going to put forth anyone even remotely electable, and the result of this election will probably be that Hispanics vote D at the same rate as Blacks.

She already admitted to having the private server (not that it was ever in question)
Her only defense is basically "lol I didn't know"
Which isn't a defense to the charges.
There's no question that she's guilty.
Hillary did nothing criminal
If you're planning on voting for Trump you shouldn't even be allowed NEAR guns
>>72256153
>>literally another corrupt politician who is ineligible for the presidency but everyone just ignores that fact
Cruz has a reputation for being an ideological hardliner who is hated in washington because he fights unwinnable battles and won't play with the team. He's not corrupt, but he's still more controllable than trump because he can't finance his own campaign and has a lot of aligned interests with the republic party.
What really pisses me off about cruz is he should lose gracefully so he can run in a future election and not be that faggot. That or be on good terms with trump so he has a chance for a supreme court nomination. Instead he's performing acts of desperation like picking a female VP when he's way way way behind on delegates and trump won so hard last night that a brokered convention isn't likely anymore.
>>72256153
Except for the part where you're confusing Trump with Ross Perot, the rest is pretty spot on
>>72256197
>Hillary did nothing criminal

Eisenhower was a better diplomat than general.
He knew it too, and so did everyone else.
That's why he was the Supreme Allied Commander. He helped all the generals get along and coordinate and make war plans while he oversaw allocation and logistics and settled disputes.
>>72256169
Dubs of truth
>>72256191
The literal only reason she hasn't been tried and sentenced to high treason at this point is because she is the ex First Lady, a US Senator, and is currently running for President while also being a total rich bitch.
If an average joe in a low level government position with no connections did so much as did one of the things she's been accused of, he would have been grabbed by the FBI and sent to jail within a year. She's getting away with manslaughter at best and third degree murder at worst because she's American Royalty.
Same reason movie stars get caught with enough cocaine to crash the street price and get off with 6 months of rehab.

Seriously, it will change the southern states overnight. I'm from the UK, live in Houston, if somebody told me just how fucked up Mexico is I would not believe you. Having lived here, it is amazing there is not more done to protect US citizens.
There are school busses of kids kidnapped and killed for ransom and blackmail. Wives, children and entire famlies are killed in the streets just to intimidate each other, not for any other reason other than to show other cartels they are more badass. You have an entire music industry given over to glorifying them, both in the US and Mexico.
How can you not want to protect yourself against that?
>>72256207
only way to end narco violence is to legalize drugs duh
anyone who thinks different is a total fucking idiot
>>72256208
I used to believe that until I realized just how stupid the majority of people are. How easy they are to market to and sell shit too.
So no, it is not a good idea to have large amounts of the population addicted to hard drugs. The cartels are not generally dealing much (at in value) in weed, they deal in coke and the processed crack, heroin and now chemist backed pharma-drugs, largely opiates.
>>72256096
Yes and no.
>>72256207
Globalists do not believe such a thing as "US citizens" even exists
Once the immigration has done its damage, "US citizen" won't have any meaning
It's nothing to do with cartels or anything like that, mexico is just a brown country.
Beheading & mass murders are in their blood, need to keep the non-white mestizo's out of America.

Before you say hurrr not meth replace that with heroine, coke, etc. If its legal you won't see everyone in america suddenly railing up or injecting 24/7 around the watercooler at work. Also if US companies can sell it you bet that theyll put out better shit than the cartel.
>>72256214
>Better shit
So more addictive and stronger? Probably right.
>If you legalize it, you won't see increased use
Yes, yes you will. People will 'try it', stupid people who need to be told no. Again, this is hard drugs we mean, not weed and beer.
>America won't market the drugs if we legalize them.

People should not need to be told about the dangers of polluting their bodies. The fact we must debate and argue that drugs should be free and legal is indicitive of just how far removed from freedom of choice we are. You are free to do what you want to your body, but you should not be free of the consequences.
You threw all your money in to methamphetamines and now you really want to quit? Then do so, you will not recieve anything from the tax payer besides being locked in this room until you are 'clean', you must secure 3 meals a day and a suitable way to sleep or you will be left to rot.
Same with fatties, you're too fat to work? Then we have no use of you. No we will not pay for your mobility scooter or your diabetic medication or basic living costs.
