NK is a Chinese puppet. They use it to bully their neighbors.
Problem: the have an idiot dictator who lives in a different universe that might throw a nuke on one of it's neighbors.
Especially now he got rattled by that attack on Syria.
Nobody wants that to happen.
Not even China so they will have to take care of it.

There is 150.000 Chinese troops at the NK border.
So they might replace the little dictator.

Good move from the US.

Putin is a fascist. That means he has his people in all big companies.
That means that anyone who does business with them gets involved with his people.
Whole EU does business with Russia = Putin. Big time. They get their gaz.

So it's easy to make that look bad. But it's mostly just business. But at least include all the US politicians who do business in Russia = Putin if you want that to look bad on someone:
Bill Clinton earned half a million with a speech there.
Clinton Foundation got 145 million from Russian business people who made money with the sale of ukranian (US) uranium.

Podesta's brother works for a Russian bank. That looks very suspicious to me.

Years of budget cuts and attempts to cap troop levels in Afghanistan have wreaked havoc on helicopter mechanics and pilots with the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne, according to senior officers within the air assault division.
Congressional attempts to trim federal deficits, along with policies enacted by former President Barack Obama, have degraded readiness at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and whittled down its forces to one aviation brigade

I would say this is probably going on in the whole military after 8 years of pacifist Obama.

Our dutch military has suffered the same fate after years of the same kind of leadership. It's cut up in small pieces that cannot work together.
My friends that serve with the army say it will take years to restore the damage that is done by the pacifistic minded government.
They say it's ridicules what has been done. A scandal.

Before WW2 the same thing happened. Hitler was building an army and everybody ignored it. Now China and Russia are doing the same. Why?
Because they are afraid the US will invade them?

China is expending it's terratory and growing it's military (is there a threat to China?).

101st Airborne complains that half it's airplanes are out of service due to lack of maintenance.

Facts:
145 Million Dollars were donated to the Clinton Foundation after the uranium with Ukraine/Russia deal by people who benefitted from the deal. Bill got paid half a million for a speech in Russia. Both Clintons have been paid millions for speeches on Wallstreet and countries like Saudi Arabia.
We're talking about improper connections with Putin regime, or questionable regimes?

And now the Clintons political career is over and the money stops coming in for the Clinton Foundation. Weird. It's being closed.
All the "charity" work will be stopped. Sad.

Al smoke and screens to accuse Trump, who was investigated by the FBI and according to the Obama FBI (and CIA) had no improper connections to Russia.

If you don't like somebody you tend to believe anything bad that is said about that person. Because you want to believe it's true. You lose objectiveness.
It's hard to stay objective.

The media knows that.

Give Trump a chance. What do we really know about him? He has no political history, but speaks to the heart of many americans. And more every day.
The anti-Trumpers are a minority with lots of outlets and they scream hard to make them sound like a majority voice.

Btw he is working on keeping his campaign promises. Very rare for politicians.
He gets my thumbs up for his first few months.

Mind-boggling ignorance.  When Bush became President the USA has a budget surplus.  USA has spent over $6 Trillion in Mid-East wars that were never paid for.  Trump has appointed a bunch of Elitist billionaires, millionaire and 3 Generals.  USA is suppose to be a civilian-controlled democracy.  He is turning it into a Fascist State.  Attacking his critics daily on Twitter.  Attacking the First Amendment.  Attacking the Press.  Spreading lies and misinformation.  ExxonMobil CEO whom is personal friends with Vladimir Putin is being interviewed for Secretary of State.  He has dealt with Putin for years and trying to close a $500B deal for Russian oil before the Crimean invasion.  It is against the Constitution to accept gifts from Foreign Leaders.  This is going to be the most corrupt US Government in history.  Theodore Roosevelt fought against the big Oil Monopoly.  Now 100 years later we are being ran by their people.   You think these people are NOT the establishment?  Trump said Obama founded ISIS and is not a Citizenship with fake birth certificate.  Now he is consulting with Obama for advice?  NUTS

Trump is not appointing establishment. He is hiring people with great talent that have worked and became rich in that world. To use their skills to bring back the US to the greatness where it once was. The great economic and military power that once brought prosperity and world peace for a long time.
He doesn't hire ideological people, but people who know how to get things done in a PRACTICAL way.

For sure Trump is not establishment and like Kissinger said: "Trump has no baggage". So his idea's are not rooted in the establishment to benefit them.
Bush, Cliintons and Obama are for sure establishment.
So we go a new course with Trump.

Btw the Bush and Clinton family are friends. So don't see Bill and George as opposites. Bill had been waging contrversial war in Yoegoslavia and Middle East

Ofcourse we have to watch Trump and correct him if he takes a wrong path. But let him first try and not write him off before he starts.
To me the people who fight him show more insanity then people who support him.
Trump already has accomplished more positive change without being president then Obama during his 8 years. He even listens to his opponents. With respect.

And I'm not even an American. Living under the socialist yoke of heavy taxes and national debt to the all powerfull banks of the world.

I don't get it: leftist hate capitalism and banks but always borrow unlimited money from them to accomplish there progressive socialistic non-profitable goals. Raking up debt to "the people". Basicly making themselves totally dependent on banks. Giving the power to the banks. Mind boggeling.
Now you understand why Wallstreet and banks love socialist.
And subsidies are free money you do not have to invest/work for to get hold of it. Just have your lobbyists in place and it will come to you.

That has to change. In US and Europe.

There's major signs of change coming. The Carrier deal he made probably isn't the capitalism you like. Give tax cuts to one company in a state your VP-elect is still Governor of.

Usually you base your trust in a person from their history. Especially true for politics as they are public figures. Lacking a political background means there's no history to base your trust on, so you use his business history, hence, give him a chance.

You say he's surrounding himself with people without ideologues. The reason Americans are angry is partly to blame on this, the GOP has been very uncompromising in the last eight years. Trump is surrounded by these people.

Whether or not his change will be good remains to be seen. Its a big gamble.

Of course it's a gamble. Sometimes people have good intentions but the powers that surround them do not allow them to bring change. Or everybody gets fooled. But I see positive things and I want to give it a chance. Trump is promising things I want to see changed. Hillary says whatever will get her elected. It's not about the people for her, but about herself and her special interest friends.
Trump still has to make friends it seems.

But for me it was clear that the kind of politics that Clinton was going to bring were not going to make it better. It was going to be establishment enrichment over the back of small bisiness and worker again. Obama already raked up enormous debt by immens spending on the credit card of the people. National debt ballooned from 11 trillion to 20 trillion. I remember the criticism Bush got about his war spending. This is more then double, but no one complains.
Foreign policy totally screwed up with pacifistic bow down to the tyrants of this earth policy. Withdrawing troops from Iraq caused Isis. Nuclear gifts to Iran endangered world peace.
This has to change. Diplomacy from a position of strength is needed. No bow downs. Putin, Iran and China were walking all over Obama.

About fake news: I remember the video that caused the attack on the US embassy in Libya: fake news strait from the White House right before the elections. Do we here about that in the debate?

I give Trump a try even though I cannot vote in the US (my wife can).

Btw out of Philips came 5 engineers in the 1980's. They borrowed 5 million and started a company that makes machines that print computer chips: steppers en scanners.
This company is called ASML and is now the biggest provider of machines that print computer chips in the world. It's value has increased 1000x.
Still operating right next to the town where Philips was founded: Veldhoven next to Eindhoven (the Netherlands) where Philips was founded.

More then 100.000 people have a job here because of them. That's the capitalism that I like.
They could have moved to S.Korea or China. But they didn't because they understand what Mister Philips has done.

I lived on 2 sides of the Pond: 12 years in USA. I'm back in NL since 2010 again.
I think it's great what is happening. Many people at my work in NL also think it's good.

Why? They are tired of politicians that do exactly the opposite of what the majority of people want.

Trump is very weird in his behavior but he is not an idiot. See through his outer behavior. He is collecting people around him with talent and proven record tp get the job done. No ideologues, because it doesn't work. Things have to get better for all people.

I read a piece from Banner about capitalism. He says there is about 3 kinds: state capitalism (China, Russia), establishment or globalistic capitalism (the super rich get richer supported through influence in governments and creating trade rules that benefit them) and then there is the old capitalism were company owners invest in growth that benefits all people, communities and companies that take part.
That's the kind that made the town were I live great.

Frits Philips founded his little light bulb company in my city early 1900's. He did good and it grew to a company that gave jobs to one time 30.000 people in my city alone. He built schools, transportation, sport clubs, housing, gave scholar ships to ALL families that worked for Philips.
Philips is the last European company that does electronics and still is one of the best in the world

I believe this is the kind of capitalism that Trump believes in and he is collecting a diverse group of established thinkers, owners, etc to get this back in the US. Trying to stop the flight of companies out of the US.
His statement towards China is a clear sign that he is going to do that: call China what they really are and end the power that earn their money by benefitting from China's fraud, like Zuckenberg who wants to help China indoctrinate their people through Facebook. Disgusting.
And Hillary was in for it, together with the other media moguls from Twitter and Google. Very dangerous.

They want to determine what we can read and say and make us believe what they want.

Give me Trump. I give him a chance.

Windows 8 had put it on Windows XP service pack 3.
I put it on 98 and the original game seemed to work fine now. Also the Meuse Mod.

Good thinking. Thank you very much. I hope it stays.

Sorry I started topic about the same issue.

I guess I'm not the only one.

Cannot change it with settings. I one time had the game come back after I waited a while, but normally you have to wait out the battle time to continue the campaign.
You totally lose control and game screen freezes. Sound continues.

It's graphic issue I believe.
