While I agree with you, I would also state that this showed a resolve that the U. S. government hasn’t shown for some time.

China, even against it’s own people has resolve.

What do we do. We get mired down in efforts and our resolves wanes. That is troubling.

China would be a formidable enemy, because it doesn’t second guess it’s positions.

Do I agree with the government in Tiananmen Square? Of course not. It is none the less a real marker in government hard line resolve.

“Do I agree with the government in Tiananmen Square? Of course not. It is none the less a real marker in government hard line resolve.”

Is that the kind of dictatorial “resolve” you would like a Trump government to exercise over the people of this country?

That Genghis Khan could teach us a few lessons about “resolve,” too. I suppose there are lots of great examples out there for those who admire the state so much that they don’t believe in human liberty or individual rights.

This mountain of problematic statements, positions and policy continues to grow and it will not go away should Trump secure the nomination.

The Republicans are indicating they will go to any lengths to deny him victory in a general election. Remember Mississippi!

Trump will be obliterated. He is doing nothing to reduce his massive unfavorables. His defeat will redefine the concept of landslide.

Wake up!

I suspect what you are driving at is this:

An effective commander in chief acknowledges the capability of other militaries and their willingness to fight.

~~~

One guy here equated such acknowledgement as ‘admiration’ and being a ‘facist’.

Is this how wimpy our nation is getting?

Glenn Beck might have gone ‘full fruitloop’, but he is spreading paranoia and anti-Trumps are looking for any excuse to agree with him.

Then there’s Rush Limbaugh reviving the slanderous ‘right wing circle’ theory. Being too right wing supposedly turns you into a facist. No, being too right wing is limited government to the point of anarchy. It’s not a circle. Trump is clearly not too right wing. He’s a patriotic pragmatist.
