New York News Conference: Senate candidate Andy Martin slams Scott Brown Ukraine “surrender strategy”



Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a New York City news conference today, Monday, March 3rd to energize Republicans in support of a strong Reagan-style foreign policy. Andy will also attack liberal media and former senator Scott Brown. “One New Hampshire liberal media type told me he thinks the Ukraine crisis is a joke,” Andy says. “Vladimir Putin’s agenda is not a joke. He must be stopped. Putin is trying to build a new Iron Curtain. Those of us who confronted the Soviet Empire during the Cold War know that fear and retreat are not a solution. Republicans such as Scott Brown do not favor the ‘peace through strength’ policies of President Reagan that helped bring down communism. Putin wants to rebuild the Evil Empire. He must be stopped. The liberal media who are trying to hijack the New Hampshire Republican Party by supporting Scott Brown must also be stopped. Brown’s comments on Fox News Sunday show he endorses a ‘Brown-Obama-Shaheen surrender strategy,’” Andy charges.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW YORK CITY NEWS CONFERENCE

ATTENTION NATIONAL, NEW YORK CITY, NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK & ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin asks the Obama administration to begin an airlift of military supplies to the Ukrainian government

Andy says New Hampshire voters must reject the “Brown-Obama-Shaheen surrender strategy”

Andy, a leading Obama opponent, says “Barack Obama is ‘all words;’ now Fox News’ faux New Hampshire Republican Scott Brown has joined Obama’s vapid rhetoric”

Andy is a Cold War expert; he previously sought the release of Yulia Tymoshenko, the recently-freed Ukrainian leader

(Manchester, NH) (March 3, 2014) New Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today, Monday, March 3rd to demand that the Obama administration take strong action against Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Andy will also “sounding a warning bell” about liberal Republican pretender Scott Brown’s “surrender” strategy,” which Andy calls a “Brown-Obama-Shaheen foreign policy.”

Andy asks that President Obama take muscular military and economic action to shut down Russia’s access to the west, including: [1] canceling all visas of Russian citizens in the United States; [2] suspending any new visas for Russian citizens; [3] seizing all Russian-related property of Vladimir Putin’s cronies in the United States, including multi-million dollar condos; and [4] offering, if requested, to immediately airlift military equipment and supplies to Ukraine.

“It is a truism that those who choose to forget history are doomed to repeat it,” Andy says. “No people suffered more under the Soviet Union than the Ukrainians. I grew up supporting freedom for ‘captive nations,’ first among them being Ukraine. Tens of millions of Ukrainians were slaughtered by Soviet dictator Stalin.

“Today, liberal Massachusetts-New Hampshire Republican Scott Brown wants to respect a revivified Soviet Union and consign Ukrainians to another era of Soviet-style persecution. Scott Brown’s foreign policy is Barack Obama’s foreign policy. Brown’s foreign policy is Jeanne Shaheen’s foreign policy. New Hampshire Republicans must reject the ‘Brown-Obama-Shaheen surrender strategy’ in the Ukraine crisis.

“In 1946 Winston Churchill foresaw an ‘Iron Curtain’ in Europe. It took 43 years to tear down that Curtain. It took President Reagan’s memorable words to Soviet dictator Gorbachev: ‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.’ Reagan was attacked by the liberal media. But Reagan was right! Earlier today I received the first jeer from a liberal New Hampshire journalist. His newspaper supports ‘Surrender and Brown.’ Anti-Reaganism is alive and well among New Hampshire’s liberal media.

“Sunday Brown made the hand-wringing claim on Fox News Sunday that ‘there is no military option’ for Ukraine. There are many military options short of landing U. S. troops. If requested, we can create an airborne pipeline of military supplies for Ukrainian troops to use. We can provide Ukrainian leaders with our best surveillance and intelligence. We can send Ukrainian-American volunteers to help train the Ukrainian military.

“Ironically, many of the Ukrainians in the U.S. today come from Eastern Ukraine. They are the ‘ethnic Russians’ we hear so much about. They escaped crippling poverty and a hopeless future under communism. Under Vladimir Putin’s future plans for Ukraine, 46 million Ukrainians would be reduced to slaves and hostages. Putin abhors freedom and democracy, much like the liberal elites in the Democratic Party and some Republicans such as Scott Brown.

“Surrender to Putin is not an option. Acquiescence in the invasion of Ukraine will lead to more invasions. Putin must be stopped dead and removed from power. George W. Bush went ‘wobbly’ when Putin invaded Georgia. Putin’s troops are violating cease-fire accords; part of Georgia is still occupied. George W. Bush’s will failed.

“Those of us who love freedom, which includes almost all Republicans excluding Scott Brown-types, and also includes very many loyal Democrats, cannot allow a ‘Brown-Obama-Shaheen surrender strategy’ to determine our policy towards the invasion of Ukraine.

“There is no running from Putin; there is no escape. Putin can only be removed and prosecuted as a war criminal. Russians had ‘one man-one vote.’ And then Putin imposed ‘one man-one vote-one time.’ Today the ordinary Russian people are enslaved, while Putin’s cronies, the Oligarchs, purchase hundred million dollar apartments in New York. We must shut down Putin’s oligarchs’ access to America; they will get the message. Leave Ukraine, or leave the United States.

“The only way to avoid a hot war is to fight a limited new ‘Cold War’ until Putin is removed from power.

“Republicans such as Scott Brown who want to surrender to Putin’s military power grab, and who claim there is ‘no military option,’ are endangering the national security of the United States. U.S. ‘boots on the ground?’ Absolutely unnecessary. American military support for the people of Ukraine? Priceless.”

Andy previously demonstrated for the release of formerly imprisoned Ukrainian leader Yulia Tymoshenko. He has been a strong supporter of Ukrainian independence since the fall of the Soviet Union. Andy is a strong supporter of President Ronald Reagan’s “peace through strength” guiding principles (see links below). Andy believes Democrat Jimmy Carter’s weakness led to the Iran hostage crisis; Reagan’s “peace through strength” brought the hostages home. Andy is committed to exposing and defeating Scott Brown in the 2014 New Hampshire U.S. Senate primary.

Fox News: Scott Brown surrenders Ukraine to fellow nudist Vladimir Putin


Echoing President Obama, Scott Brown tells “Fox News Sunday” U.S. has “no military option” in Ukraine

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin pounces on Massachusetts airhead Scott Brown’s surrender of Ukraine to Vladimir Putin

Andy says Brown is espousing an “Obama-Brown-Shaheen foreign policy”

Andy says Brown and Putin have something in common; both men like to sashay around half naked

Andy is a Cold War expert and previously sought the release of Yulia Tymoshenko, the formerly imprisoned Ukrainian leader

(Manchester, NH) (March 3, 2014) 

Dear Republican:

Massachusetts airhead Scott brown, who has been trying to float into New Hampshire, showed Sunday that Brown has more in common with fellow nudist Vladimir Putin that he has with New Hampshire’s citizens. It is time for rational Granite Staters to start asking why some Republican “leaders” are trying to promote the Massachusetts reject as a New Hampshire senate candidate.

Brown is paid well by Fox News to be a commentator. But Brown’s Fox News blabbering also exposes his lack of any serious foreign policy credentials. On “Fox News Sunday” Brown surrendered besieged Ukraine to fellow nudist Vladimir Putin by stating “there is no military option.”  Barack Obama could not have delivered Brown’s lines better.

There is one goal that Brown has accomplished in New Hampshire. Brown makes sadly-addled, Florida tanned Bob Smith look like a deep thinker by comparison.

But if Brown wants to campaign on Barack Obama’s foreign policy, he should run as a Democrat against Jeanne Shaheen, not as a Republican. Republicans do not favor a surrender to the Russian leader. I support President Reagan’s foreign policy of peace through strength.

What Brown and Putin have in common is that both me like to run around semi-clad. Brown was recently seen in a bathing suit during frigid weather at the beach. It’s a free country and people have a constitutional right to run around Hampton Beach in a bathing suit during frigid weather. But what does Brown’s behavior say about his judgment?

As someone who has deep experience with foreign policy I monitored Putin's former Ukrainian stooge Yanukovich, who was using Putinesque tactics to eliminate democracy. After Yulia Tymoshenko conducted a free election and Yanukovich won, he returned the favor by jailing Tymoshenko on trumped-up charges. I fought for Tymoshenko’s freedom.

Let me be clear. Tymoshenko was and is no Sunday school teacher. She was a ruthless practitioner of the smash-mouth politics and money grubbing that accompanied the fall of the Soviet Empire. But for all her faults, Tymoshenko helped conduct a relatively free and fair election. Since taking power Yanukovich has been trying to implant a Putin-style dictatorship in Ukraine. He started by jailing his former opponent Tymoshenko.

In the past few days Putin has succeeded in confusing Scott Brown, someone with no foreign policy credentials, by convincing Brown that that America has no military options. Monday I will hold a second New York news conference to outline American options to help Ukrainian officials.

Because Brown speaks in simplistic terms it is not clear that he even understands what a “military option” is. The use of military power is not confined to landing troops. There is no need for U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine. The Ukrainians are ready for fight for their own freedom (links below). We can and should offer military aid to the Ukrainian government.

Under both the Budapest Memorandum and the U.N. Charter we have every right and a treaty-based responsibility to respond to a request for military supplies from Ukraine.

Just hours before Putin invaded Ukraine last week, Barack Obama proposed a defense budget that aimed to dismantle America’s fighting forces with ruinous budget cuts. Defense Secretary Hagel said we were cutting forces and increasing risks. I for one do not believe we should increase the dangers our men and women confront. Why would any president increase the risks faced by our men and women in uniform? We should be trying to enhance our forces to reduce risks.

For the past several months Scott Brown has been the sweetheart of the liberal media. They love the idea that a jerk like Brown would defeat New Hampshire Republicans in a primary and then stage a liberal-to-liberal election next November where Shaheen is reelected. Contrary to what liberal media claim, Brown cannot defeat Shaheen. That is why Shaheen so badly wants Brown to run. Brown is Shaheen’s only guarantee of reelection.

Of course, now that Brown has endorsed Barack Obama’s foreign policy, and stated we have no military options in Ukraine, echoing the Obama-Shaheen policy, Brown’s true colors have been exposed for New Hampshire conservatives to see.

Watch for our news conference Monday (today).

Later in the week we are going to “declare war” on Brown. I don’t need a “military option.” The truth about Scott Brown’s liberal agenda and Massachusetts shenanigans is explosive enough for the upcoming primary. Brown has never faced an experienced primary opponent.

Don't be fooled by the false prophets in the New Hampshire Republican Party who are promoting Brown. They are the same people who have lost to the Democrats year after year and decade after decade. Fasten your seat belts for a real primary campaign this summer. We may even chase Brown back to Massachusetts. Where he belongs.

And, as a final gesture, avoid the by-now overdone “thank you for your service” and instead ask a real question. Stop a New Hampshire veteran and ask him or her what they think of Brown’s surrender of Ukraine to Vladimir Putin. Get a veteran’s opinion of what the Obama-Brown-Shaheen policy means for America’s future. Ask a veteran whether Scott Brown makes America stronger. Or weaker. And then ask yourself why any Republican “leader” would promote Brown’s candidacy.
