mr6666 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Passage to India: Trump ready for warm embrace, adulation- "........He is expected to receive a warm embrace from the ideologically aligned and hug-loving Prime Minister Narendra Modi, complete with a massive rally soon after his arrival Monday and then a sunset visit to the Taj Mahal. After hosting Modi at a “Howdy Modi” rally in Houston last year that drew 50,000 people, Modi will return the favor with a “Namaste Trump” rally (it translates to, “Greetings, Trump”) at the world’s largest cricket stadium in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad. Tens of thousands are expected to line the streets. Modi “told me we’ll have 7 million people between the airport and the event,” Trump said to reporters Tuesday, then raised the anticipated number to 10 million when he mentioned the trip during a Thursday night rally. Indian authorities expect closer to 100,000.......... reflects a Trump campaign strategy to showcase him looking presidential during short, carefully managed trips that provide counterprogramming to the Democrats’ primary contest and produce the kinds of visuals his campaign can use in future ads. ........... there is likely to be little public divide between Trump and Modi, two leaders with a similar love of bravado and adoration. At the “Howdy Modi” event last fall, which incongruously linked the Indian prime minister with Texas’ cowboy culture, the two world leaders took the stage hand in hand at a rock concert-like setting that will be dwarfed by the scene in Ahmedabad....... https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/passage-to-india-trump-ready-for-warm-embrace-adulation Link to post Share on other sites

In addition the USA and NATO have been wimps when it comes to Turkey and their dictatorship and Turkey is a member of NATO. If that doesn't require the attention of the "west", Russia clearly doesn't. Ok, exclude them from being a member of G8 etc... but other then items like up, shut up and move along. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Vautrin Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The GOP supports Israel 100%. The Dems only support Israel 95%. That makes them anti-Semites. Link to post Share on other sites
