[PJ] Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani applauded President Trump’s Warsaw speech for kicking NATO "in the ass" and waking it up.
"I have friends that, I won’t mention the countries, that say the countries contributed observers, not soldiers" during the Iraq war, Giuliani said at Global Forum 2017 in Warsaw on Thursday. "So somebody has to kick NATO in the ass and wake it up ‐ wake it up to the fact that we all have to contribute and we have an existential threat of, and notice he used the words ’Islamic extremist terrorism.’ Our prior president of eight years never used those words ‐ really important to defeat an enemy to identify them."
"If you can identify them you are halfway on the way to defeating them if you have the kind of resources that we have," added Giuliani, a Trump surrogate during the campaign. "Here’s the thing that surprised me and that I loved about the speech ‐ it was a ringing endorsement of Western civilization and, boy, do we need that." |
