Vivek Ramaswamy, one of the leading candidates for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, pushed back against accusations he would harm the US-Israel relationship and Israel’s security by cutting military aid to the Jewish State.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 12 News following last week’s Republican presidential debate, Ramaswamy claimed that other politicians with more experience than himself put words in his mouth. “What I actually said was that if our relationship with Israel ever gets Israel to the point of being so strong that Israel doesn’t even need our aid anymore, that will actually be a mark of success of a true friendship. I want this to be clear – we will never cut off aid to Israel until Israel tells us that they are ready for it.”
“I believe that the US-Israel relationship will be stronger by the end of my first term than it has ever been in US history and ever will be under any other administration. This is because I view this relationship as a friendship. This is not a client-transactional relationship. A friendship. And true friends help each other stand strong, on their feet with fortitude. I want to lead Israel into Abraham Accords 2.0 in whatever way the US can contribute to that diplomatically. Get Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Indonesia, into that pact. I think that the most antisemitic element of foreign policy is to hold Israel hostage over the Palestine question and stop Israel integrating itself into the security of its economic infrastructure in the Middle East and elsewhere. I will diplomatically lead the way to end this,” he said.
He added, “On a personal level I have a great relationship with Israel. Some of my best business partners are in Israel, I’ve been there countless times, I was invited to join the Jewish Society of Yale. But the personal side does not affect my policy, because I am running for the President of the United States and one of the reasons I want a strong Israel is because that is in the interest of the United States. Our aid to Israel goes to investment in the United States; industrial capacity here. This is a clear win-win situation, and it would be senseless to cut that off unnecessarily.”
Ramaswamy believes that one of the critical elements in the US-Israel relationship is making sure that Iran never becomes a nuclear power. “We will never allow that to happen on our watch. That is the source of a true partnership and friendship, rather than just “check the box” on our aid list. I talk authentically and they can distort what I say, but I will keep on speaking the truth. We will not cut aid to Israel until Israel says that they do not need aid anymore.”
Ramaswamy believes unequivocally that he is going to win the next US presidential election. He has even considered the option of Donald Trump being an advisor to him as the President. “I can unite the country. I can speak to the next generation. I can build a strong moral mandate; Reagan 1981 style.”
Speaking of his performance during his first appearance in a public political debate last week, Ramaswamy said that he was “honored to come out as the winner of this debate. This was my first political debate ever, unlike the others who have been in many political debates in their lifetime. I am an outsider to politics. Ultimately, that was my biggest advantage. I was able to speak freely, from the heart, without prewritten slogans. That proved our success on stage. I was having a ton of fun. Two hours passed really quickly. I was just getting warmed up. So, I’m really looking forward to the next debate.”
Ultimately, Ramaswamy believes that the fact that he lacks any political experience can actually help him in the long run as President. “We are dealing with many current problems, and I don’t think that we want to hand the keys once again to the generation that got us into this mess. I think it is going to take someone coming from the outside, who speaks the truth, to actually re-unite this country and lead us forward. We can show the world what America is when it is strong. I have experience outside of politics that brings a fresh perspective to politics. Everything I’ve taken on; I’ve taken on with seriousness. The issues that I need to deal with are too serious to take on lightly, but I do like having fun on the debate stage, but don’t mistake that for the seriousness about my vision for this country.”

Pulitzer has a Locals.com account (LINK) and a Rumble acct (LINK) where he posts his analysis and discussions. He uses a paywall to access much of the material, but he makes most of his findings available as short info-graphics which can be downloaded after providing your name and email. Here is a collection of the info-graphics as of last summer (LINK) for example. This encompasses a LOT of material, so a more concise if not clearer overview might be gained by reading the summary report by Wendi Mahoney at UndercoverDC.com which Ted posted last summer (LINK).
Also Pulitzer’s provided a post-presentation interview of his findings which can be watched here (LINK)
Hope this helps.
@peloni 1986. I accept your criticism that I must have confused Ramaswamy with Dr, Shiva Ayyadura. I do remember that an Indian gentleman testified that he found extensive evidence of election fraud in ballots that had been challenged by Republican pol-lwaters, including hundreds of ballots signed by the same individual. Also, that he offered to examine all of the ballots in the same way, but the supposed investigating commission, with a Democratic majority, showed no interest in taking up his offer.
I had not heard or read about a subsequent analysis of the ballots by Jovan Pulitzer, Is there some ploace where I can find this analysis on the web?.
We need Justice and we need Trump.
@Adam
I believe you are conflating Ram with Dr. Shiva Ayyadura. Unless I am greatly mistaken, Ram has never voiced any support for the obvious fraud which led to Trump leaving the White House beyond his reference to Big Tech having helped characterize the Hunter Biden Laptop as Russian misinformation, which is curiously also the limit to which the RINOs will acknowledge the election fraud.
Dr. Shiva is also running for election in 2024, but unlike Ram who is making the false claim to be Trumpier than Trump, Shiva claims that Trump is just one more face on the dial of control which the Deep State has over the American public, which it seems few find convincing. His criticism of Trump goes back to 2020 when Shiva lost the PA senate election and fought it in court only to be faced with many of the same shenanigans used against Trump. He ultimately proved his case but lost the trial, something which is still not clear in my mind how that came to be, but has blamed Trump since that time for not having helped fund his election challenge. During his trial he was the first to uncover and report about the public-private censorship alliance between the US govt and big tech and the media.
His role in the AZ election challenge is an interesting one. He demonstrated that, by using a small sample, he could predict the general outcome of the election and thereby claimed fraud did exist in the AZ election, but his findings were quite minimal by comparison to the later findings discovered after Jovan Pulitzer analyzed the full set of election ballots, not just a small sample.
Strangely enough, Shiva went on to sharply criticize Pulitzer and others who demonstrated the much greater lengths of election fraud that existed than proposed by Shiva.
In any event, I believe you are confusing Ram with Shiva, just FYI.
@stevenl
Like yourself, I am unconcerned that Ram took the scholarship from Paul Soros, but at the same time, I do find it informative that used this scholarship to promote himself over the past decade, and rather than addressing the circumstances of the sholarship or its importance to him, he chose to foolishly try to hide his former position of having publicized it.
More than this, however, I am greatly concerned about Ram’s open support for the TPP which was Obama’s attempt to make Asia great again at the expense of the American worker and American economy. This stands as a pivotal break from his otherwise general support for Trump’s MAGA movement, the basis of which is both confounding and concerning all at once. Support for such globalist setting agenda’s as the TPP is the surest way to Make America Fail Again. In fact the inconsistency in his support for TPP and MAGA is so incomprehensible, that I find myself coming to consider the claims that Ram’s support for MAGA is as opportunistic as were some of the business deals which gained him great wealth while his investors were left to deal with the consequences of supporting his venture – specifically referencing Ram’s Axovant venture.
The greatest concern about Ram, however, remains to be found in his lack of recognition that the 2020 election was stolen, not by tech propaganda, but by criminal activity. In my opinion, this is the most fundamental topic in the coming US election, and Ram is clearly on the wrong side of it.
Mr. Ramaswamy did provide some useful service to the cause of truth during the arizona recount of the 2020 election. Using his high-tech skills, he identified hundreds and perhaps thousands of ballots bearing the exact same sinature among the ballots that Republican poll=-watchers had contested. Also, the names of alleged voters who were not registered voters, alleged voters who were born over a 100 years ago and were probably deceased, etc. He offered to conduct such a search for all of Arizona, and and suggested that he be given complete access to the voter registration rolls and to Arizona birth and death records so that he could do a more thorough examination of the 2020 election in Arizona. The investigating commission, composed mainly of Democrats, refused to accept this offer from Ramasmamy, and instead suggested he go offline, as no futher services from him were required. The Rupublicans wanted Ramaswamy to continue his investigation, but the Democratic majority on the commission absolutely refused this request. Ramaswamy also statd that he would be willing ro reexamine the 2020 election in all 30 states if a Federal Agency requested this of him. But he later told inquirers on his site that no Federal agencies ever contacted him to do such an examination.
Ramaswamy’s now saying that he thinks the 2020 election was legitimate, and that Biden was the true winner, is is complete climbdown from the positioin he took in 2020, with in a month or two of the election. Someonemust have :”got to him.”
Apparently, Vivek won from Soros’ brother Paul, a scholarship. Nothing to do with the other Soros.
Janet Levy wrote to remind me that this article doesn’t mention any of the negatives regarding Ramaswamy. Like being funded by Soros.
From DC_Draino, ie Rogan O’Handley:
Emphasis added is my own.
Ramaswamy does learn fast, but he is still young. He is highly intelligent and charming. Foreign policy knowledge and judgment takes a lot of experience to develop.
Peggy Tierney does an analysis of his candidacy here:

One thought she had is that a Hindu vegan male who made his fortune in Big Pharma cannot win a fair election in the USA today, given the culture of the USA. She says, this isn’t racist, it’s reality.
She goes on to explain further about Hinduism, the caste system in India, and how it is essentially the eugenics of Hitler on steroids.
She asks if the US, founded on Judeo-Christian values should be led by a Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim?
We had an experience with Obama who said he was Christian only to find out he was a Muslim Communist.
She asks, “Can a leopard change his stripes?”
