President Donald Trump slammed “neo-con rhetoric” from Republicans in the face of a potential world war this week in a new policy video, warning of the dangers of “simple-minded thinking” that could thrust the U.S. into the midst of a global war.
“Those such as Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis — very much alike — who insist on arrogantly treating Russia as deeply inferior to the other nations of the world, with no history or culture or pride, are not only ignorant and foolish, but their attitude makes it impossible to negotiate peace,” he said. “Absolutely impossible.”
He continued, “Under my administration, we were tough on Russia — tougher than any administration before — but we also demonstrated RESPECT for Russia and the Russian people. We demonstrated understanding for Russian history, and the fact that Russia lost over 20 million lives in World War II. They were fighting with us. This kind of neo-con rhetoric, mocking Russia’s nuclear weapons, along with implying that Putin must be tried and presumably executed as a war criminal, only increases the chance of deadly nuclear escalation. Fundamentally, it shows a lack of depth, a lack of seriousness, and a lack of sophistication on the subtleties and complexities of foreign policy. You can’t do certain things and end up with peace.”
Amid escalating tensions in Eastern Europe and the rise of China as a serious global power threat, Trump noted that now “is not the time for on-the-job training as we face the possibility of nuclear war.”
He added, “We need a statesman and a peacemaker in the White House, not someone who recites mindless and recycled talking points to win the approval of the failed foreign policy establishment. They didn’t know what they were doing. In 2024, I am the only candidate who can prevent World War III. I will prevent World War III — there’s nobody else that’s going to do that.”
Last week, President Trump hammered Governor Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and highlighted the “weaknesses” of the potential GOP primary contender in 2024. “Number one he’s got no personality,” Trump told the press. “That tends to be bad for a politician. But in addition to personal flaws, I think he’s got a real problem with the fact that he wanted to destroy Social Security. He was a disciple of Paul Ryan – remember the ‘wheelchair over the cliff Paul Ryan’ who cost Romney the election?”
According to a Trump campaign statement, “endless-war neo-cons like Jeb Bush, George Bush, and Karl Rove have all been advising DeSantis.”
During Biden's presidency, were there any *nuke* tests?
Think I got in about 2005 or 2006.
During Trump’s presidency, were there any *nuke* tests after Trump’s visits to N. Korea?
Since you evaded the question, I’ll answer for ya.
NO!
I was probably around that time too. Beginnings are always a mixed bag.
I do not think Trump will be permitted to win the office of President. I think we have passed the point when WW III can be avoided —that came when the pipeline was blown up. WE are now rolling for the “Event” that will happen to cause all Americans to back the neo-Con movement. It will be a “Pearl Harbor like event” or a “9-11” thingy. Los of heroic American innocents dead. Then a speech by Biden—a declared war and all is done. “You are for us or agin us,” moment. Flags will appear, peace marches crushed. and cruise ships re-purposed as troop transports to carry our Men and women into the fight.
Since you evaded the question, I’ll answer for ya. NO!
And have there been any *nuke* tests during Biden's presidency?
Since you evaded the question, I’ll answer for ya.
NO!
So maybe, just maybe the no nuke tests had nothing to do with Trumps visit.
None of the missile tests you’re citing were long range missiles.

During Trump’s presidency, were there any *nuke* tests after Trump’s visits to N. Korea?
No
have there been any *nuke* tests during Biden's presidency?
What?? WTF does that have to do with Trump's visit to North Korea?
We're not taking about Biden...We were talking about Trump going to North Korea. And you said Trump achieved NOTHING going to North Korea and speaking to Kim. No?
Now you want to ask me questions about Biden. Did Biden go to North Korea and face Kim? What are you talking about?
Disingenuous much?
I know.
Hey loozo, you’re a real Trump hating activist aren’t ya?
The nuke tests stopped under the Trump administration. Kim shut down North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear test site in 2018, following talks with Trump. That action limited North Korea’s capacity to conduct nuclear research and testing. You’re trying to give credit to Biden for a de-escalation that started under Trump and only happened as a result of Trump’s peace efforts. Interestingly enough, now North Korea appears to be taking action to re-open that facility. They began repairs last year.

From the article -
North Korea appears to have started repairing a closed nuclear testing site, according to satellite images.
The Punggye-ri site was shut in 2018 and some parts were blown up, after leader Kim Jong-un promised to halt all nuclear tests.
But lozo said Trump’s N. Korean meetings achieved nothing.
Well yeah, he did. But we both know why. He’s an idiot. And he’s too lazy to check his facts.
And then when faced with facts, he goes straight into diversion and evasion mode.
Yep. Typical.
They have already waited too long to stand with Trump. They want to see where the wind is blowing? if they had been paying attention, they’d know we are already angry at them for letting all this happen without a fight!! We haven’t rioted, burned cities... so it’s ok?
I want a truck caravan clogging the hiways and byways..
I want some action that is safe and yet tells the facts...
I want them to get the bidens out of washington.. they all know what is in the laptop.. money laundering, drug cartel payments, children used by the deranged son, one sick family..and spending their time and $$ trying to find something on Trump.. that angers a lot of us.
You know what? You're right.
The republicans will support Trump if they think the winds outside of Washington want Trump.
The republicans will not support Trump if they think the dems are winning this war and they would lose their own seat if they support Trump.
Political winds can lie to their master too... but the silence is loud so far in Trump support.
When I look at this equation... at the crowd at Trump’s rallies.. he can draw them like no other can.
Then look at the government.. politics... it’s non Trump.
Trump is for the people out here.. he is wealthy and has more than most in congress.. but he is not IN that click.. he is outside and connects with the voters.. common people who have jobs, families..
congress and media and those who vote with the dems.. dirty, hard, anti Trump, anti God.. anti People.
today, this is the closest the liberal commies have come to a take over of the country. we have had dems in the white house before, but none like these today. there are no limits and they go the whole nine yards. republicans are not even close to doing what it takes to stop this. If Trump is not int there to change it.. we are sunk.. they will stop at nothing to bring in sodom and gomorrah and your kids will be at their mercy.. nothing is too low.
all could stop this madness, but they’d rather have the dirt and filthy of sodom and gomorrah, than have Christians in the mix.. they hate us, and there is your proof who their master is.. and what this war is all about.
Fair enough. Thanks for posting.
NO, I'm pointing out that no treaty or agreement was signed with North Korea stopping the nuclear tests. Kim had announced in 2018 that North Korea had successfully miniaturized the nuclear bomb, so no further testing was needed.
The North had successfully developed its arsenal, including miniaturizing warheads to fit them on to missiles, Kim said, and so “no nuclear test and intermediate-range and inter-continental ballistic rocket test-fire are necessary for the DPRK now.”
As such the North’s nuclear testing site was no longer needed, he told the central committee of the ruling Workers’ Party, according to the official KCNA news agency.
