Bogie56 Posted February 2, 2017 People expecting a thawing in relations with North Korea if Trump picks up the phone with Kim Jong-un better think twice. If his abrupt call with his ally, the Australian PM is any indication if things don't go his way Trump will likely launch his nukes before hanging up the phone with Kim.

Sepiatone Posted February 2, 2017 Him telling McConnell to "Go nuclear" certainly shows us where his head's at( besides up the wazoo). When asked about Obama's agreement, he could have just said "no" or that he's looking into it and left it at that. Sounds like he's trying to run the White House like his reality TV show.

LawrenceA Posted February 3, 2017 isn't that a coincidence! that is exactly what reporter daniel perl's captors were shouting while they sawed off his head while he was alive. That was in Pakistan.

Bogie56 Posted February 7, 2017 In his Fox interview Trump was asked about the increase in shelling and attacks in the Ukraine after his telephone call with Putin. Trump responded that he did not believe that the Russians were involved in the Ukraine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sepiatone Posted February 8, 2017 Eventually Ukraine will split into 2 separate nations. May be the best solution. As a wedding photographer I once did a Ukrainian Orthodox wedding. They are a proud and xenophobic people, and I doubt they would consider that ANY kind of solution. Sepiatone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCid Posted February 9, 2017 Just now Trump reiterated that they should have kept the oil (in Iraq) thus becoming an occupying pirate nation. Another example of how dumb he really is. This was the Cheney, et. al. argument for starting the war. Unfortunately they discovered they could not get the oil out. No workers, outdated technology, ruined equipment, ad infinitum. Even if they did, it would leave Iraq so poor there would have been widespread civil war, much worse than what has been going on since the war started.

Sepiatone Posted February 9, 2017 I'm pretty sure Trump supporters never wrung their hands over any of the collateral civilian deaths in Aleppo until appearing to do so helps in any half-baked discussions.. If you're SO upset about their fate, then you should be AGAINST any ban that keeps them from coming here for safety's sake, don't you think? Or.... DON'T you?

mr6666 Posted February 10, 2017 "On a phone call with his role model and possible puppet master Vladimir Putin, dictator of the Russian Federation, Putin reportedly asked whether Trump would be interested in extending the 2010 New START Treaty, which sets limits for the size of standing strategic nuclear weapons forces. Trump then paused the call to ask his aides what START was, according to Reuters. He then proceeded to complain that the Obama-negotiated treaty was a “bad deal” that favored Russia and told Putin about how popular he was among Americans. Neither of those things are true. START mandates that both the United States and the Russian Federation reduce their standing number of strategic warheads to 1,550 by February 2018 and sets limits for delivery systems like missiles and bombers. Trump’s stubborn and narcissistic confidence in his obviously deficient mental faculties is a very serious problem, not to mention an embarrassment. If the START treaty is not extended, we could be looking at yet another nuclear arms race and even more squandered billions on weapons we don’t need..... http://occupydemocrats.com/2017/02/09/trump-just-put-putin-hold-ask-dumbest-question-ever/ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted February 10, 2017 It appears Flynn was not only in touch with the Russians while Obama was still president but that they discussed the sanctions as well. I do hope that this is fully investigated. It looks like Flynn lied about all of this and Pence backed him up too. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
