Trump Campaign Guts GOP’s anti-Russia Stance on Ukraine
Washington Post ^ | 7/18/16 | Josh Rogin

Posted on 07/18/2016 12:34:40 PM PDT by cassiusking

The Trump campaign worked behind the scenes last week to make sure the new Republican platform won’t call for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian and rebel forces, contradicting the view of almost all Republican foreign policy leaders in Washington.

Get ready for some big changes. You guys lost. Deal with it.

Lost? You're not voting for Trump? I am. If you're not going to win with Trump, who are you going to vote for? Those big changes you speak of....will they include conservative judges, fewer regulations, and lower taxes? If so, then we all win, you included (even if you aren't voting for Trump).

If you find yourself agreeing with the Communist Post, then you better start questioning your research. Certainly when you are on the same side as George Soros.

Ukraine had a major Presidential election, and the anti E.U. Candidate won. You know the same E.U. that’s imploding and letting ISIS/Al-Qaeda into Western Europe. The same E.U. that Britain voted to exit aka the BREXIT. The same E.U. that Greece is collapsing okay.

Did you know the State Deparment was caught attempting a coup with actual Nazis that parade around with Swastikas and siege heiling away? Something tells me you do not know that.

The E.U, is trying to start a war in order to save their social experiment. You are crazy if you want to go to war with Russia. You do understand they have nukes? Do you reLly want to get in a unclear war with Russia for the E.U.? Even a regular war we could not afford we are broke.

The majority of people that want war with Russia are chicken hawks that never served when it was their time. That’s where you find the biggest war mongers.

The corrupt in D.C. have looted the American treasure...

Right. And Putin's looting of $200 billion from the Russian treasure makes him a hero to you and someone you want to be friends with. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you're consistent.

And then the Russians would give manpads to Jihadest in Afghanistan and US troops would die. You can’t kill Russian troops without blow back.

Globalist Free Trade:

It means you believe in corporate profits made on the backs of third worlders and none of the cost reductions going to the consumer. You do not believe in retaliatory tariffs. You do not believe de industrialization is bad thing at all. You would put future generations at risk as long as your portfolio is good until you kick off. In other words you are no patriot. Your moniker is sarcasm to the nth degree.

The Soviet Empire is not coming back because empires are net drains on economies. Putin could have conquered the Ukraine he time he want to, but own the country would just harm the already very weak Russian economy. The only areas there has been fighting are majority Russian population areas that national Russian politics demands must be protected.

Putin as recently as January of this year made it clear in a speech that he is still a communist. You can choose to believe what he tells you or not. He is also motivated by bringing back the glory days of the Soviet Union, but with a softer side compared to Stalin. I don't trust communists but your mileage may be different.

We share an interest with Russia in wiping out global jihad. Anything we can do with Russia to achieve that goal should be pursued. But make no mistake about Putin, he is still a totalitarian mafioso thug, who murders his critics and competition, while filling his pockets with wealth stolen from his country.

Cost reductions go to consumers and owners.

You do not believe in retaliatory tariffs.

Raising taxes on Americans is not the best way to punish foreigners.

You do not believe de industrialization is bad thing at all.

I think it's a bad thing.

You would put future generations at risk as long as your portfolio is good

Wrong.

In other words you are no patriot.

Wrong again.

With that batting average, your last name must be Obama or Clinton.

Sure. Advocating for individual liberty and being wary of murderous commie thugs is not conservative. You can run away now. Let me know when you have the time to try and defend the nonsense you’ve posted here.

A Communist who promotes private indrustry and Christanity? The cold war is over and the only remaining Communists currently occupy the whitehouse and the University system.

You are not educable.

What rational people should be concerned about is our own government larded with and led by thugs, communsists, fags, corrupt thieves, traitors and moslems.

Not going to bother reading anything you post. If you had read in detail, from international news, as I have done, since the very beginning of the Euro Maidan “protests” in Ukraine, you’d know the facts of what’s going on there.

Since you obviously have not, you’re in total dakrness and want to stay there.

Cost reductions go to consumers and owners.

While at the Ford dealer I asked the manager if he thought Ford would announce price reductions on all models made in Mexico. He laughed. Still waiting for Carrier to announce price reductions. Note: the Oreos hecho en Mexico still cost the same.

With that batting average, your last name must be Obama or Clinton.

Seems to me I align with Trump and you align with the globalist witch, Hillary your hero.

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong.

Not going to bother reading anything you post.

I participated in a study once at the university I attended where you had to read articles that would, eventually, disagree with your politics. The researchers wanted to see if and when people would stop reading, or if they would be open minded enough to consider alternative opinions. Most of the students would read the article until something was written that they disagreed with and then they'd move on to something else. Pretty hard to educate closed minded individuals. But I'm not educable? LOL.

Only the hardest headed individual could listen to a Putin speech where he claims to still believe in communist ideology and not believe he still believes in communist ideology. But here you are. Good luck with that.

Putin earned $200 billion promoting private industry? You Putin apologists will believe anything.

Putin doesn't promote Christianity. He promotes the Russian Orthodox Church. 90% of Russians are members of this church. That's because Putin arrests anyone who tries to compete with his church. Only 30% of the members of this church believe in God. Totalitarians are real good at group think. Most Russians know it's all an act. Too bad there are so many here who are not as smart.

Wow, your anecdote is very convincing.

I've already commented on your poor batting average. I see you're keeping your hitless streak going.

Stop lying:

http://www.pewforum.org/2014/02/10/russians-return-to-religion-but-not-to-church/

2008 numbers and it’s even higher today:
>There also has been a modest increase in some measures of religious commitment. For example, the share of Russian adults who said they are at least “somewhat” religious rose from 11% in 1991 to 54% in 2008. And the portion of adults who said they believe in God rose from 38% to 56% over the same period.

I am calling your bluff. The Ford Focus is made in Mexico . Do some research and show where the price has dropped. Do it or pipe down.

Sure you are, sparky.

The Ford Focus is made in Mexico .

It's also made in China, Argentina, Germany, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam and Taiwan.

Do some research and show where the price has dropped.

As soon as you show me what the price would be if it were strictly made in the US. Do it or pipe down.

“Now he can go home.”

Thanks for the ping! I wrote a fairly long note to the moderators stating that this guy was a relative newbie, made a provocative post, and then didn’t respond to people that commented (as of the time of my note, at least).

So GLAD TO SEE HIM GONE. He can go back to DU, where he OBVIOUSLY belongs.
