Cruz: Obama’s Refusal to Arm Kurds ‘Makes No Sense’

‘The Obama-Kerry-Clinton foreign police has been consistently wrong’

“The vice president, I thought, gave an effective speech, but I have got to tell you, in the room, what everyone kept saying is, interesting speech. We have no confidence that President Obama is listening to the vice president. Listen, what we needed here and what we have needed for six years is strong American leadership.

The Obama-Clinton-Kerry foreign policy has been consistently wrong. It’s been wrong on Russia. It’s been wrong on ISIS. It’s been wrong on Iran. What we needed today with regard to Ukraine was presidential leadership that stood up and said, we’re going to honor our treaty commitments. We’re going to provide defensive weaponry for the Ukrainians who are fighting to defend their own nation, to stand up to Russian aggression.

That’s a message that would be heard by our allies. But it’s also a message that would be heard by our enemies, nations like Iran, who are looking at the weakness of this administration and viewing it as an invitation for them to move even faster towards acquiring nuclear weapons."
