Carson: If Russia Plans Violate No-Fly Zone Shoot Them Down
[su_center_b]
We can rest easy knowing that if Ben Carson’s in charge, we won’t have to worry about those pesky Ruskies anymore.
The Republican presidential candidate made the comment to Iowa radio host Simon Conway on Wednesday after arguing that the U.S. should establish a no-fly zone over the “Turkish-Syrian border” to provide a safe haven for refugees.
Asked whether he would enforce the no-fly zone if a Russian plane were to enter it, Carson first said, “If they come into that area, after you have given them adequate warning, after we have talked to Putin, you shoot ‘em down, absolutely.”
When the host noted that shooting down a plane could provoke a response, Carson said, “Whatever happens next, we deal with it, but we can’t continue backing down because in the long run, that’ll hurt us.”
