Hawaii Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard appeared on multiple Sunday news shows a day after her state's false ICBM emergency alert sent the islands into a tense 40 minutes of panic before it was revealed to be a message sent in error, where she slammed the mainstream media's reporting on the North Korean nuclear threat, saying, "We've got to understand that North Korea is holding onto these nuclear weapons because they think it is their only protection from the United States coming in and doing to them what the United States has done to so many countries throughout history." She further called for Trump to hold direct talks with Kim Jong Un in order to prevent the real thing from ever happening. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) Gabbard is an Army reserve officer who previously served two tours in the Middle East, including in Iraq. Image via the Ron Paul Institute On Saturday Gabbard had immediately criticized President Trump for mishandling North Korea, taking to MSNBC to proclaim that "our leaders have failed us. Donald Trump is taking too long... he's not taking this [nuclear] threat seriously..." During Sunday interviews she elaborated on a plan of action, advising Trump to enter talks with Pyongyang which should “happen without preconditions” and that Trump should “sit across the table from Kim Jong Un” in order stamp out the climate of fear which contributed to the “unacceptable” alert issued on Saturday. We've got to understand that North Korea is holding onto these nuclear weapons because they think it is their only protection from the United States coming in and doing to them what the United States has done to so many countries throughout history. — Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) January 15, 2018 “We’ve got to get to the underlying issue here of why are the people of Hawaii and this country facing a nuclear threat coming from North Korea today, and what is this President doing urgently to eliminate that threat?” Gabbard said on CNN’s State of the Union. She added that Pyongyang sees its nuclear weapons program as "the only deterrent against the U.S. coming in and overthrowing their regime there" after decades of the US exhibiting a pattern of regime change when dealing with rogue states, which she said makes setting up preconditions for talks a self-defeating step. And concerning the potential for an "unintentional" nuclear war, Gabbard said, "It’s not just the President making a decision to launch a nuclear weapon. It’s these kinds of mistakes that we have seen happen in the past that bring us to this brink of nuclear war that could be unintentional.” When the people of Hawai»i got this message yesterday, they were literally going through this feeling of "I've got minutes to find my loved ones, to say my last goodbyes, to figure out where could I possibly find shelter that would protect me from a nuclear attack." pic.twitter.com/5Qb7OteSpP — Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) January 14, 2018 HAWAII - THIS IS A FALSE ALARM. THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE TO HAWAII. I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH OFFICIALS THERE IS NO INCOMING MISSILE. ic.twitter.com/DxfTXIDOQs The Hawaii lawmaker, who has garnered a lot of attention over her non- interventionist stance on Syria while angering establishment pundits for doing things like visiting Damascus last year on a fact-finding mission, left ABC's George Stephanopoulos visibly flustered during an interview on Sunday's "This Week". She said: We know that North Korea has these nuclear weapons because they see how the United States in Libya for example guaranteed Gadaffi - 'we're not going to go after you, you should get rid of your nuclear weapons.' He did, then we went and led an attack that toppled Gaddafi, launching Libya into chaos that we are still seeing the results of today. North Korea sees what we did in Iraq with Saddam Hussein, with those false reports of weapons of mass destruction. And now seeing in Iran how President Trump is decertifying a nuclear deal that prevented Iran from developing their nuclear weapons, threatening the very existence and the agreement that was made. At this point an incredulous Stephanopoulos stopped the Congresswoman and asked, "Was it a mistake for the United States to take out Gaddafi and Hussein?" Gabd responded firmly with, "It was, absolutely." Apparently this was enough to end the interview as a presumably shocked Stephanopoulos had no response at that point. For those unfamiliar, Gabbard is an Army reserve officer who previously served two tours in the Middle East, including in Iraq, and has been an outspoken critic of regime change and Washington's interventionist foreign policy. Put some members of congress on the front lines and and watch them change their tune. Poster Comment: David Duke endorsed her for Secretary of State Tusli Gabbard would be the best Democrat anywhere to run for President. She has actual front line military experience. She understands foreign policy better than anyone else. She is far better looking than any other female politician. She opposed TPP and other plutocrat trade deals. If she supported the Wall, I would vote for her. I voted against Bush father and son, against Romney and McCain but for Trump. I am opposed to interventionism and Zionism. But over population will destroy America so I voted for Trump but maybe not in 2020.

Her foreign policy inclinations are far superior to any other candidate, including Trump. That she's hated by the establishment is another plus. I'd vote for her in spite of her being a D. I'm sure there's domestic issues I would disagree with her on, but she'd be a first woman president that would refreshingly leave the title of first witch president to someone else. As for NK, an effort and offer should be made to formally end the war there.

Agree completely; the letters D and R have less and less meaning these days. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Have to provoke Iran into doing something that would warrant an attack on the country, thus enabling US to meet its obligations to Israel.
Strange critter who attaches the "D" to her name.....there's much iron in her words.
“With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Thanks hondolt.
Regime change wars go back to the 1953 overthrow of lawfully elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh. And there have been more along the way. ;)

It is like the scene from "The Outlaw Josie Wales" where Wales confronts Ten Bears the Chief of Comanche. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Jerry Ford and Kissinger explain to the Shah of Iran how to run the nuclear reactor that they''re giving him. Didn't the CIA install the Shah too around'53? Yes, they overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed the Shah. It was then and is still known as "regime change". ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
