    top-cop We’re going to have the most lethal army ever and I will stop at nothing to prevent Iran (our greatest adversary) from getting nuclear weapons and I won’t rule out military intervention! Trump let Iran off the hook and I won’t do that!

      I looked up the actual quote because I didn’t remember the Iran part and it’s so fucking bad

      As Commander-in-Chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world. I will fulfill our sacred obligation to care for our troops and their families.

      And I will always honor, and never disparage, their service and their sacrifice.

      I will make sure that we lead the world into the future on space and Artificial Intelligence, that America – not China – wins the competition for the 21st century, and that we strengthen – not abdicate – our global leadership.

      Trump, on the other hand, threatened to abandon NATO. He encouraged Putin to invade our allies, he aid Russia could “do whatever the hell they want.” Five days before Russia attacked Ukraine, I met with President Zelenskyy to warn him about Russia’s plan to invade.

      I helped mobilize a global response – over 50 countries – to defend against Putin’s aggression. And as President, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies.

      With respect to the war in Gaza, President Biden and I are working around the clock because now is the time to get a hostage deal and cease-fire done.

      Let me be clear: I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that the terrorist organization Hamas caused on Oct. 7.

      Including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival. At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost. Desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety, over and over again.

      The scale of suffering is heartbreaking. President Biden and I are working to end this war such that - Israel is secure - the hostages are released - the suffering in Gaza ends - and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity.

      Security. Freedom. And self-determination. And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists. And I will not cozy up to tyrants and dictators like Kim-Jong-Un, who are rooting for Trump. Because they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors.

      They know Trump won’t hold autocrats accountable, because he wants to be an autocrat.
