A Hawaii Representative has warned the US government that President Barack Obama’s decision to put American fighter jets that can ‘target Russian planes’ on the border between Turkey and Syria could start a ‘devastating nuclear war’.
Democratic Rep Tulsi Gabbard’s comments came after Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told Congress on Tuesday that the United States is sending additional special operations ground forces to Iraq in its ongoing fight against the Islamic State terrorists.
Gabbard said the fighter jets, along with Obama’s opposition to Russian-backed Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, could lead to a nuclear war.

WNU Editor: Rep Tulsi Gabbard is definitely making her point of view known.
It's a bit extreme, but not outside the realm of possibility. Which is why the President is doing everything he can NOT to escalate the situation and why people like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and other Republicans are really freaking stupid for suggesting the imposition of a no-fly zone over Syria.
ReplyDeleteContain, not escalate, should be the watchword right now.
