Well I’ll be damned.
Has hell itself frozen over?
But so help me, God, if Bloomberg has the audacity to apologize about this, I will be floored.
During the debate Tuesday evening, Bloomberg expressed how the military has been more prepared and stronger than ever before under the Trump administration.
The Daily Wire transcribed:
CBS News asked Bloomberg, “Mayor Bloomberg, voters have not heard much about your foreign policy views, would you pull all combat troops out of the Middle East?”
“No, you want to cut it back as much as you can,” Bloomberg responded. “But, I think if we learned something from 9/11, people plan things overseas and execute them here, we have to be able to stop terrorism, and there’s no guarantees that you’re going to be able to do it.”
“But we have to have some troops in places where terrorists congregate and to not do so is just irresponsible,” Bloomberg continued.
“We shouldn’t be fighting wars that we can’t win, we should go to war only as a last resort, no body argues with that, but this is a dangerous world and if we haven’t learned that after 9/11 I don’t know what’s going to teach us what to do.”
“We have to do something, and I think that the things that I’ve seen recently convinced me that the military today is better prepared than they’ve been in an awful long time,” Bloomberg concluded. “And that the moneys they are spending on the war of weapons we need for the next war and not the last, a common mistake that they are not making now. They’re doing a good job.”
