Clinton Rips Into Trump For Putin Praise
Clinton also pointed out that Trump had once supported the invasion.

“After getting pounded for Putin praise all day, Trump now being interviewed on.Putin’s propaganda network”, tweeted Jesse Lehrich, Clinton’s foreign policy spokesman. “It destabilized every single one of those nations”.
The presidential nominee is expected to talk about her plans to keep the country safe and is set to talk about the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, and how, she says, he doesn’t have the temperament to be president. She also flushed out several national security priorities if she is elected, including trying to take out the leader of the Islamic State and vowing to defeat the extremist group without putting USA troops on the ground in Iraq or Syria.
Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kelly Anne Conway, told Hannity that Clinton “was on defense from moment one and she looked it. [Forum moderator] Matt Lauer couldn’t even get to all of her foreign policy failures”.
He said: “I did learn that our leadership – Barack Obama – did not follow what our experts and our truly – when they call it intelligence, it’s there for a reason – what our experts said to do”.
Asked to square his request for military options with his harsh criticism of the current crop of generals, Trump said simply: “They’ll probably be different generals”.
Clinton, meanwhile, repeated “it was a mistake” to have used a personal email account and server while leading the department, and that she would “certainly not do it again”.
Rival Hillary Clinton had criticised Trump for praising Putin on Wednesday, and this will only further exacerbate the school of thought that Trump has ties to Russian interests.
Mr Putin is helping his ally Bashar al Assad by providing military support for the Syrian regime in their civil war against rebels and militants including IS.
A forum created to test the leading presidential candidates’ capacity for military leadership Wednesday night displayed as much unpredictability as the rest of this election, as questions and answers veered off-topic and both candidates were put on the defensive several times. “The man has very strong control over a country”, Trump said.
While still not giving many specifics on his plan to fight ISIS – which he has said he won’t release so as not to tip off USA enemies – Trump said there would be “different generals” who would advise him on national security and military policy as president. Speaker Ryan’s refusal to say that praising dictators and strongmen as superior to a democratically elected president is wrong summed up the GOP’s Trump problem. And for the first time, he opened the door to granting legal status to people living in the US illegally who join the military. “I was totally against the war in Iraq”. “I could see myself working that”.
The interview was broadcast Thursday evening on RT America, a branch of the Kremlin-funded media conglomerate formerly known as “Russia Today”. Trump responded, “Yeah, I guess so”.

Ahead of the forum, Trump rolled out a new plan to boost military spending by tens of billions of dollars, including major increases in the number of active troops, fighter planes, ships and submarines. Earlier this week, a group of 90 military figures announced they were voting for the Republican. “She gives a speech on his disturbing history of racial discrimination and ties to white supremacists and the alt-right movement, he calls her a bigot”, Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
