Note: I am a Trump supporter. However, I voted for Trump to keep us out of our forever wars….best to see how it all pans out.

WWIII is over. We lost and America was invaded and taken over without anybody firing a shot. The foreign bastards are running this country now. Check Congress. Very few Americans.

From the article: "...taking us into World War III in slow motion...."

An odd construction. Bang is bang. When bang comes to anyone, it's bang. Not in slow motion.

It’s part of the negotiations. Russia doesn’t want to settle, Trump needs some additional bargaining power.

How badly is the left hoping that Hamas refuses to hand over the hostages?

I somehow got on a mailing list for this guy. Every single one of them is along these same lines-WWIII, the economy will collapse, the environment can’t survive...And what does he suggest? I’ll help you with financial security...He reminds me of that Dr that essentially says, anything you eat will kill you.

I hope Trump is placating the neocons rhetorically, not believing them.

Nonetheless, he got burned by war pigs like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo in his first term. If he enacts advice of neocons this term, it is absolutely his fault.

Trump absolutely campaigned against getting us entangled in foreign wars that have nothing to do with our national security like the one in Ukraine.

Turning into Donald W. Trump would disaster for his Presidency and turn the base against him.

There is NO WAY China will allow Russia to fall. These Neocons pushed Russia and China together.

That can't be said enough times.

The war neocons and the EU dream of with Russia would lead to WW III.

“Fire away!”

Armstrong is a “wave the bloody shirt” shyster who should be ignored.

“Again, this attitude assumes that Russia is incapable of launching any retaliation against the United States. Putin might as well just launch everything because there is NO POINT to any peace agreement”……

Putin might? No he wont. He loves power and isnt is any danger of losing it right now.

Criminal conviction

In 1999, Japanese fraud investigators accused Armstrong of collecting money from Japanese investors, improperly commingling these funds with funds from other investors, and using the fresh money to cover losses he had incurred while trading.[13] United States prosecutors called it a three-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme.[14] Allegedly assisting Armstrong in his scheme was the Republic New York Corporation, which produced false account statements to reassure Armstrong’s investors. In 2001, the bank agreed to pay US$606 million as restitution for its part in the scandal.[14]

Armstrong was indicted in 1999 and ordered by Judge Richard Owen to turn over fifteen million dollars in gold bars and antiquities bought with the fund’s money; the list included bronze helmets and a bust of Julius Caesar.[15][16] Armstrong produced some of the items but claimed the others were not in his possession; this led to several contempt of court charges brought by the SEC and the CFTC, for which he served seven years in jail until he reached a plea bargain with federal prosecutors.[17][18][19] Under the terms of the agreement, Armstrong admitted to deceiving corporate investors and improperly commingling client funds—actions that according to prosecutors resulted in commodities losses of more than seven hundred million dollars—and was sentenced to five years in prison.[20][15]

He was released from federal custody on 2 September 2011 after serving a total of eleven years behind bars.[21][22]

The case against Armstrong was finally closed in 2017, with the distribution of about $80 million to claim holders by the receiver, according to court filings.[23] Armstrong appealed the refusal of the receiver to transport his remaining possessions from storage lockers in New York and Pennsylvania to him in Florida, but the appeal failed in 2019. Concerning his felony conviction, Armstrong is “unrepentant”, according to Bloomberg.[1]

Hidden rare coins cache
In 2014, a day laborer sold a box of 58 rare coins to a Philadelphia thrift shop for $6,000, which he said he had found while clearing out the basement of a house in New Jersey. Three years later, in 2017, when the thrift shop announced they were to auction the coins—actually valued at $2.5 million, Armstrong came forward to declare himself the rightful owner. He claimed that he had hidden the coins in his mother’s old house to take them “off the books” in anticipation of the public offering of his firm. The thrift shop sued Armstrong, asking the court to declare the thrift shop as rightful owners while Armstrong counter-sued, also seeking ownership. In 2019, the US government learned about the coins and claimed them as part of the treasure hoard Armstrong had refused to hand over in 1999, and for which he had served seven years in jail for contempt. In addition to rare coins, the treasure hoard, valued at $12.9 million, included 102 gold bars, 699 gold coins, and an ancient bust of Julius Caesar.[24][25]

Armstrong was deposed and, according to Receiver Alan M. Cohen, Armstrong admitted hiding the coins. However, Armstrong’s attorneys said in a court filing that Armstrong did not make this admission. The auction house now possesses the coins and the US government has filed suit to take possession.[24][25]

The word NEOCON is the new version of calling America “KKK”

Anyone listening to this convicted kook Armstrong is a neoleftist idiot.

Support President Trump.

“Russia is NOT going down without a fight”

Every war game run by the US, or Russia, has shown that direct military engagement between the two results in nuclear war.

NEITHER side will be defeated in the field without using their nukes. Any field.

Anyone who says otherwise is trying to deceive. I have no idea why they would want to do so.

No mention how many other nations are trying to goad the US into a hot war. Most of the provocation is happening at sea, and the US Navy is acquitting itself marvelously.

And how no mention of it is heard on the MSM.

Oddly enough, a lot of info is getting out via YouTube.

Far from reality... For instance: China would love for Russia to fall apart so it could take back some land it lost a century ago.

Is this just detractors trying to paint Trump as a warmonger while the Nobel Committee is debating the recipient of the Peace Prize?

Germany fought against Russia in both World War I and World War II and lost both conflicts. A third time will NOT be the charm.

Might want to recall that in both WW I and II the US was on Russia's side. Think that had something to do with it?

“NOBODY seems ever to consider that whatever they do to Russia, they could do the same to the USA and Europe.“

——-
So Russia is going to provide long distance targeting to another nation to shoot at us?

I wonder which of these “other nations” have cruise missiles that can travel that far and hit a target with precision?

The only nation that could come close (including Russia) is maybe China. And they don’t want to tangle with us.

Armstrong needs to upgrade his computer the a higher OS.
