“It was truly strange to see such serious news broken in such a festive setting.”
The arms race has never ceased. The Russians and the Chinese have been very openly, and always secretly, expanding their military for years. It seems that it is only when the United States decides to protect itself that it becomes serious.
I have full faith that it is only the United States that is stupid enough to disarm itself.
If one ever wanted an exclamation point to the assertion that the ‘news’ is just entertainment, there it is. They should have brought out a dancing bear to liven things up.
The Donald has been studying carefully how Ronaldus Magnus dealt with the then Soviet Union, and is applying the same sort of solutions in today’s context. Like Reagan, Trump has inherited a vastly weakened and woefully under-prepared war making apparatus, and this is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Force the Russian Federation to spend themselves into economic oblivion, if that is the way they want to play the game, otherwise the Russians can gear back a little and play a much longer game of forging a more solid economic base, and rely less on military buildup. We are going to build up our second-strike capability to such a degree that any attacker will very carefully consider the consequences if their first strike is less than a knockout punch.
It didn't take long for Putin to back down.
Putin also comes off as a very astute observer of the US political scene.
Hahaha hilarious that the subject under discussion was a nuclear arms race and the moderators were sitting their in their comfy jammies. Well, Pres. Trump warned them that he would be unpredictable.
It is a game for devoted, committed patriots on both sides. Not for a halfrican Muslim with destruction of his own supposed country in mind.
Yeah....the jimmy’s were eerily reminiscent of little ObamaCare Poofter sipping cocoa...
I bet the little poofter can’t grow any junk hair. If he has “junk.”
About six months from now the true horrors of the last eight years will be in full relief. Nobody could have pulled this off but Trump.
Weird.
SEE, SEE TRUMP IS GONNA NUKE THE WORLD!!!!
“The nickname given to SDI. Its what bankrupted the USSR.”
Reagan knew how to bankrupt the left. We should take a lesson from his playbook, as well as Alinsky’s and apply it to the current political climate. Force the left to spend their own money after removing every avenue for them to get it from the treasury.
Like a misbehaved dog smacked in the snout with a newspaper, they will go hide under the porch and whine.
Thanks for that info. Where can I learn more about it?
That thought occurred to me as well. Amazing that he is smarter about US Politics then 100% of US "Journalists".
From Putin’s very complimentary words about Trump lately, I think the two of them are having a little fun seeing how hysterical they can make the useless media.
Wow. Amazing piece of information!
Thanks for sharing it.
How long will it take for people get used to Trump’s style of negotiating?
He’s been doing it like this since he got into the campaign.
Troll Level: Master.
Putin is already saying he wants no part of an arms race.
Hillary: Reset button.
Trump: Don’t even think about messing with America. Then we’ll talk.
