Sarah Palin today threatened to declare war on Russia if they invade Georgia, the country that hired John McCain's top foreign policy aide as a lobbyist.
When asked by Gibson if under the NATO treaty, the U.S. would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help....Georgia is also the country that John McCain recently declared "we are all Georgians." These people are nuts. Oh, and don't forget, as McCain said today, Russia is her strong suit - she lives next door, you know - and she's threatening to declare to war on Russia. This is her strong suit, and she's threatening to declare war. We're screwed, people.
Palin advocated the accession of Georgia and Ukraine into NATO, meaning that if attacked again in the future, the United States would be bound to go to war....
Palin, who obtained her first passport this year and who has served just two years as Alaska's governor, told Gibson that she was up to the challenge of being Sen. John McCain's vice president.
