Ralph Peters: When It Comes to Putin, Trump’s as ‘Weak’ and ‘Spineless’ as Obama

RUSH EXCERPT:

PETERS: "We must respond and respond asymmetrically. We’re not going to shoot down Russian aircraft unless they attack us. We can respond powerfully by arming the Ukrainians which is perfectly legal, we can do that. And that would really hurt. If you don’t want to do that, you can intensify sanctions. The problem here, Liz is that President Obama was just spineless, timid, weak, and now we’ve got a president who’s certainly more bellicose, but when it comes to Vladimir Putin, he’s as weak as Obama. He will not stand up to Vladimir Putin so the Russians get away with this, and again, Putin has no reverse gear. Potential for this getting out of hand for accident and incident is very, very high but the most important issue is we must stand up. Liz: You know the kgb, you know how they used to operate. Vladimir Putin was at the kgb as we know. Let us go to this attorney general Jeff Sessions situation. He has recused himself. That is enough for some Republicans. Not all. They would like an investigation. The Democrats you expect them to pile on, they hate it. But you need to tell us is this a tempest in a teapot or when you have general Flynn and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law meeting with the Russians, not so much that they did, everyone keeps forgetting to say when they did when specifically asked."
