“It stretches credulity to think that he knew nothing about the bridge”, Paul said on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom”. “The very fact is this can be a new world struggle and one that will not seem like the final two”.

“For example, George Pataki when he was duking it out with Santorum – you know, ready to impose no-fly zone and shoot down Russian planes – Pataki got elected governor of NY on one promise only that he was going to restore death penalty, and it happened at point of time when Donald Trump, as a matter of fact, was calling for the death penalty for some guys who allegedly raped some woman in Central Park that did 20 years in prison and turned out were not guilty”.
Sen. Rand Paul, concerned by Christie’s hawkish tone, told the American people that if you want “World War Three”, vote for Christie.
Tuesday, during the CNN GOP debate, Christie said that he would be “prepared” to shoot down a Russian plane and risk war if a Russian plane violated a U.S.no-fly zone. He said that’s the kind of policy that would be pushed by someone who “might shut down a bridge because they don’t like their friends”. “A no-fly zone means a no-fly zone, Wolf”.
He also reiterated he’d hold firm on a no-fly zone. But I would make very clear – I would not (not) talk to Vladimir Putin. But they were invited by Iraq and Syria to fly in that air space. “Russian Federation is in Syria together with Iran to prop up Assad”.
“It’s the new normal under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton”, Christie said, claiming that with regard to ISIS, Clinton had said her strategy would be “just about the same as the president’s”.
“And I will not speak to him personally until we’ve rebuilt the 6th Fleet a little bit right under his nose; rebuilt the missile defense program in Poland right under his nose; and conducted a few military exercises in the Baltic states”. “ISIS is simply not being attacked by Russian Federation”.

Those comments echoed his fear-mongering remarks from Tuesday’s CNN debate, in which he also blamed Obama for the shutdown of the Los Angeles Unified School District on Tuesday.
