Donald Trump removes Russia from list of US defense priorities
SOTT ^ | 12/21/16 | Sergey Gladysh

Posted on 12/20/2016 8:03:58 PM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

According to a leaked Pentagon memo, Russia is not on the list of Donald Trump's defense priorities.

The priorities, as they have been outlined by the incoming Trump administration, include defeating ISIS, eliminating budget caps, developing a new cyber strategy, and finding greater efficiencies.

The memo, obtained by Foreign Policy, does not include any mention of Russia, which has been identified by senior military officials in the Obama administration as the No. 1 threat to the United States.

I respectfully disagree. First and foremost, I love our Catholic Brothers and Sisters. They are saved as I am saved .Putin is practicing Russian Orthodox. The head of his Church said that the Russian war in Syria is a “HOLY WAR”! I love that. It is a HOLY WAR and we are going to win it in the name of JESUS CHRIST!! with great vigor. May God bless America/RUSSIA!!

Exactly right about Putin.

obama and Valerie Jarrett promoted islam around the world. That’s not in Putin or our best interest.

IMO, you need to allow for Trump getting this out there now as a strategy.

He sees Obama as an unstable buffoon.

He wants Russia to know it has nothing to fear from the U.S. under Trump.

Obama has overplayed his hand at about every turn. He’s an absolute idiot.

Putin knows it. Trump wants him to know he does too.

They all hate Russia because it is majority white, has a state religion, which is Christendom, and is a center of Caucasian culture.

The “Russia is communism” baloney I hear and see, is actually humorous, in that this nation, the USA has been more communist, socialist and fascist behaviors under teh democrats, than all our former enemies with the exception of the unrepentant Maoists in China.

He was a KGB officer. They sent people by the 1000s to the Gulags for professing Faith in Christ Jesus. Putin has realized that 70 years of Marxist Leninism did not eradicate the hold of the Russian Orthodox Faith. So in the words of an American sage, if you can’t beat em, join em. He has simply used the People’s Faith to solidify his power. Putum’s Russia is an enemy to us in the same way Whilhelm’s Germany was to George’s Britain

I think the reason may be that Obama and the Democrats want Russia to destroy the United States in a nuclear exchange, while Trump doesn’t.

When my wife (70) was in high school, her history teacher told them not to worry about Russia, that China was the threat. It became clear over the years that he was right. Until the explosion of Islamists across the globe. Now it is clear that the Islamists are the real threat.

Putin’s priorities are not ours. But I don’t think he believes we are a threat to Russia. I suspect he holds Obama in extreme contempt, wonders how the US could be so stupid as electing and reelecting him. I’m still asking myself that same question.
