Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and GOP presidential hopeful, checked off his establishment box last week when he said Ukraine should be provided any weapon it needs to defeat Russia on its home turf.
Christie was interviewed on News Nation and criticized the Biden administration for providing Ukraine with just enough weapons to continue the war.
He said if he was elected Kyiv would have “every weapon they need to be able to win the war.”
Christie called the war in Ukraine a proxy war—not just against Russia, but against China, noting that Beijing is “funding” the Russian effort by purchasing Russian oil and gas at a steep discount.
He said President Joe Biden has been too concerned about public opinion polls.
“We can spend this money now and have Ukrainian soldiers fight our war, or we can spend a lot more money and American blood later to fight in Taiwan,” he said. “I’d rather have the fight now and send a clear message to China and not get to war to defend Israel in the Middle East by sending a clear message to Iran as well that we will back our friends, our Ukrainian friends.”
TRENDPOST: Christie thinks geopolitics is as easy as closing down lanes on the George Washington Bridge as a form of political retribution.
It is not.
Gerald Celente has said that the Ukraine War is not a “proxy” conflict between the U.S. and Russia—it is a full-scale war that has not been made official.
Christie’s gluttony seems as though it is not limited to food. He is gluttonous for war, but don’t hold your breath for the media to call him a “conspiracy theorist.” Only those who question the approved narrative are called those names, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
