hmm.. ill start by saying that I decide who my enemies are.The media does not choose them. Those conservative talking points will work on some but....lol . YES, Russia is still very dangerous. Do you not see that the cold war might of ended for us but that doesnt mean it ended for the other side? Yea, the old USSR fell but they were not defeated. Just evolved to something else. The man in charge of Russia atm is a pretty dangerous dude and trump would be wise to keep him at arms length.. Putin is former KGB and when the USSR fell,im sure he blames the USA.Do you not think he might hold a grudge?
I think Trump is being played. He thinks he is so smart, he is the stupidest one on the planet and everyone knows that he is the butt of the joke but him... Hell.. He did that interview on NBC not to long ago for the soul reason, that he thought his PR team failed him and he needed to take charge to "fix" things.. Well, he fixed them and he just signed his fate in doing so BY openly admitting to firing comey in part , because of the ongoing investigation.. Well, that right there is interfering with an ongoing investigation.. Incidentally,that didnt play out well for Nixon either.trump saying what he did in the interview, directly contradicts the official WH line as well.. So not only did he admit on national TV that he possibly interfered with a ongoing investigating by firing the head of the fbi, his administration has EVEN worse credibility issues than now. The thing about credibility is, its hard to earn but really easy to loose ..Team trump is flailing like a beached whale and its only going to get worse As for enemies.. I have come to think of some of my own countrymen as the enemy...So many unkool things are being done |

Russia hold a grudge - no. Does the US Govt and it's various agencies require an enemy to keep their over bloated military and Security budgets - Yes. Russia has reduced it's military budget this year by 25%. While the US has again increased theirs. USA now spends more on it's military than the next 8 countries combined. Nato is progressing upon Russia's borders not the other way round. Of which that is also another story of broken promises. Russia doesn't trust the West at all and not without good reason - Operation Unthinkable, Berlin Airlift, Reconstruction monies never paid post WW2 and much more. The US managering of the Ukraine Coup. Ukraine on Fire is a no holds barred doco by Oliver Stone. I believe it has been Unofficially banned / not to be shown in the US. |

I too think Russia is playing up to Trump's narcissist personalty - saying what he wants to hear. What a choice for the US voters though - Clinton or Trump. |

And how long have you played any war games.. ? "know thy enemy and know thyself and you will be victorious in 1000 battles" regardless of you thinking russia as an enemy, you dont know them very well at all or the mindset that is steep in tradition and national identity Since when has the US ever been short of enemies.. Russia should still viewed as a threat correction: I SAID PUTIN, not Russia holds a grudge.. Yea, its an important distinction.Russia might have lowered its defense spending and at the same time has brought several weapon systems to challenge the USA dominance in several areas.. Guess, they spend their defense spending more efficiently than the USA.like tanks with the T-14 Arrmata which is a 5th generation tank I think. Capable of standing toe to toe against the M1a2, new fighter planes, missile defenses,etc Well done. You have proved my point exactly - some of that US paranoia. When I have more time and not sitting at an airport I will reply further. Infowars.............lol.
Go back and re-read the very first part of that.. WTH man.. You just said, its ok for an adversarial power to manipulating the POTUS and the POTUS has a serious psychological issues.. Do you not see that might be a problem? But hey, atleast it wasnt clinton, right?. She was a crook,liar and a thief but she was also competent and would not embarrass the office of the POTUS. .. you know, because she is a statesperson.. as im shaking my head in partial disbelief. Please get you head out of fox/brietbart./infowars.. That awesome wave you will feel rushing over you is the ability to use critical thinking skills,observation skills, and just good ole common sense again. I imagine it will feel like being reborn:) not trying to change your mind..Just pointing you towards the light as you must come to this realization on your own. There should be a special independent investigator hired immediately.."To see whats really going on"..These same people that are saying that there doesnt need to be one are the EXACT same ones that called for clinton to be locked up and had hearing after hearing AND found nothing substantial.. This is most unkool and EXTREMELY hypocritical.. To all that oppose hiring an independent investigator is not only unwise, its Unamerican... |

r do you mean by the non existent evidence of hacking, election interference.................paranoia. So how did your pick who your enemy is surely not on media but on actions. |

Remember WMD's in Iraq. Bush family owned business for an example - Carlyle Group. Is the biggest private arms dealer in the world. They supply most conflicts in the world today and often both sides. War is good business in the US. I suggest you do some research as what I have said here is public information not state secrets. Maybe you should pick these guys as your enemy as they have done more harm to your country since WW2 than Russia... |

It appears you still possibly believe in a two party democratic voting system. Both parties are just the opposite sides of the same coin in reality in many things - Foreign Policy for one, National Security another etc. Clinton is a proved war monger - Butcher of Libya. Also her actions make her a war criminal but she wouldn't be alone in that - Trump in Syria attack and the illegal invasion of Syria. Obama supplying Moderate Terrorists with arms against the legitimate Govt of Syria and so forth. |

Really with Putin showing he's more unstable AFTER Ukraine? how safe would all those new European countries be (former soviet satellites) if the US pulled it's forces out of Europe.. which don't get me wrong.. i'd love the see the US do, like pronto. You really don't think those spanking new democratic (mostly) countries wouldn't all of a sudden have the same breakaway groups wanting to return to the soviet sphere? Don't get me wrong.. I'm tired of the US getting dragged into european conflicts, but not seeing what is plain as day is beyond... |

Like I keep saying. War is a profitable business to be in and US FP shows that and so does Military weapons exports - Number 1 in the world USA. |

Interesting.. Who exactly has been producing millions of automatic rifles per year for export as a way to raise hard cash for decades? Need something bigger? We just have to have one of those laying around also from pre 1990 as a matter of fact also.. if the price is right.. Soviet, some old soviet countries and China it's big biz to produce and keep economy afloat.. Germany.. Israel. Guess they are proliferaters also, fighting every day to stay alive among a area surrounded by devils? |

They are all at it. Not one of them beyond corruption. Hillary was clever whereas Trump is just out there. KG_Brandenburg - Hillary was called " Butcher of Libya not over Benghazi but over regime change in Libya resulting in thousands of deaths that she was trying to stop. The country was coming in from the cold. Gave money to Sarkozy for an election, free health and education all of which were to a high standard. Libya I believe had the highest standard of living in the ME - now destroyed due to her democracy. |
