Susan Rice Calls Trump A 'Surrender Monkey' For Trying To Appease Putin On Ukraine Story by Marco Margaritoff • 5 October 2024 Former U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice delivered a damning critique Thursday of Donald Trump and his foreign policy agenda for aiming to appease Russian President Vladimir Putin during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. “The fundamentals of national security — that America needs to be strong, that we need to stand with our allies, we need to stand for our values, we have to mean what we say … never used to be under serious question,” she told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. “And along comes Donald Trump, who really is like the Neville Chamberlain of the Republican Party,” Rice continued. “He’s an appeaser. He’s a surrender monkey. And that’s what we’re seeing in his approach to Ukraine.” Chamberlain exercised a policy of “appeasement” during his tenure as British prime minister in the years leading up to World War II, in a failed attempt to prevent Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler from expanding German control of Europe and waging war on the United Kingdom. Trump has long been accused of having a curious relationship with Putin and recently refused to endorse a Ukrainian victory over Russia. “We’ve seen him fold to blandishments from Xi Jinping and many others when it was convenient for him and served his personal interests,” Rice told O’Donnell, referring to the many instances in which Trump has praised the Chinese president from the White House. “So that is why more than 700 Democrats, Republicans and Independents — very senior national security leaders — came together to oppose Donald Trump and support [Vice President] Kamala Harris,” she continued, referring to an open letter published last month. The document was signed by current and former defense officials, including former defense secretaries Chuck Hagel and William Cohen — Republicans who served respectively under Democratic former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — as well as ex-CIA director Michael Hayden. Rice, who called Trump “an appeaser,” said Harris would be “a strong commander-in-chief.” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told The New York Times that these were “the same people who got our country into endless foreign wars and profited off of them while the American people suffered.” Rice maintained that national security could be a bipartisan middle ground. “Until recently, foreign policy and national security were played between the 40-yard lines between Democrats and Republicans,” she told O’Donnell. “There was a center that was a responsible, rational center.” Rice concluded by emphasizing Harris “has the temperament and the intellect and the vision and the experience to be on day one an effective and strong commander-in-chief.” Poster Comment: You are forgetting one thing, Susan. Trump has gotten THREE Arab nations to sign peace treaties with Israel. But I strongly disagree with your notion that Harris would be a strong commander-in-chief. She is not sitting on what it takes to do the job. Cackling Kamala needs to go away.

Susan Rice still hasn't fully accounted for her role in the Benghazi catastrophe, she doesn't have any room to point her finger at anybody.
