2020 AR Senatorial race: on Foreign Policy


Ricky Dale Harrington: As missionary in China, saw lack of rights under Communism

Ricky Dale Harrington is a missionary by profession having most recently served in Communist China and said, "I spent two years entrenched in Communism while living abroad in China. Every day I witnessed first-hand the devastating effects of lack of rights and freedoms that we hold so dear here in America. I was inspired to join the fight in saving our Republic. I have watched as many of you have, the unconstitutional laws being passed, the BIG government bureaucrats seeking to insulate their power at the expense of our personal freedoms. I say NO MORE! We have been divided like sheep and encouraged by our media to view our fellow Americans as our enemy. Like you, I see the importance of working together to preserve our Union, and the rights of all citizens."

"I am seeking the Libertarian nomination for US senate, SO WE CAN TAKE OUR REPUBLIC BACK! It is going to take all of you to send a message to the career politicians that we will no longer tolerate their corruption."

Tom Cotton: Buy strategically-important Greenland, to block China

Months before President Donald Trump expressed an interest in buying Greenland, Cotton said he suggested the idea to the President and met with the Danish ambassador to propose the sale of the large land mass to the U.S.

Cotton said Greenland's mineral reserves and its strategic location make it an ideal strategy move for the U.S., noting that such reasons are why President Harry Truman offered $100 million in the 1940s. Cotton said that Greenland's "economic potential is untold," and the island is "vital to our national security."

Cotton said in 2018 the Chinese government sought to essentially bribe the local government of Greenland into allowing it to build three military bases there. But efforts by Trump administration and some in Congress convinced Denmark to weigh in at the last minute and block the deal, Cotton said.

"I told the president you should buy it as well," Cotton said, adding later that "He's (Trump) heard that from me and from some other people as well."
