Obummers foreign policy ...........

Paris (AFP) - US Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has rung alarm bells around the world with his proclamations on foreign policy, but his targets are increasingly shrugging off his barbs.
By suggesting that NATO is "obsolete" and that Japan and South Korea should acquire nuclear weapons to rid the United States of the burden of protecting those countries, Trump has called into question some of the cornerstones of US foreign policy for decades.
The property developer's comments have earned sharp rebukes from President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.
An exasperated Obama said he was "getting questions constantly from foreign leaders about some of the wackier suggestions that are being made".
Obama said Trump "doesn't know much about foreign policy, or nuclear policy, or the Korean peninsula, or the world generally".
- 'An aberration' -
When Kerry visited the Hiroshima atomic bomb memorial on April 11, he described Trump's proposals to provide nuclear weapons to Japan and South Korea as an "aberration".
Kazuhiro Maeshima, professor of politics at Sophia University in Tokyo, said Trump's comments were "a bluff based on unrealistic views" because the US-Japan security alliance is clearly "contributing to the US national interest".
If Trump became president, "it would at the very least create confusion and carries the risk of triggering a major turning point for the Japan-US alliance and Japan's overall diplomacy," Maeshima said.
Although Trump leads the Republican primary race, he is projected to lose an election against the likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
But the question is whether Trump's campaign could cause lasting damage to America's foreign relations, or at the very least worry its allies and exacerbate strains with unfriendly nations.

Tr: This could cost us rots of money!
Damn straight because TPP is on the line. This is the trade deal that puts foreigners in charge of overseeing our trade. It’s 6,000 pages of goodies for everyone else and crap for us except to make us a bigger part of the “global” community.
TPP is why the RNC cannot let Trump win, their global partners who are already banking on this . And our Congress is in on it including Ted Cruz.
The answer remains the same, nothing. The world is more of a mess now, and he doesn’t even acknowledge that fact.
Obummers foreign policy ...........
How I would love to see our world welfare spigot turned off hard.
How I would love to see “Made in USA” on more and more products.
How I would love to see that fence from the gulf to the Pacific.
How I would love to see welfare converted to workfare.
How I would love to see political traitors hung by the neck until dead.
The property developer's comments have earned sharp rebukes from President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.Well, that must mean the ENTIRE WORLD is ALARMED. IBTZ.
They need not worry about Trump’s mega inexperience. IF Trump became president he would pick good advisors, just as he picked good advisors to run his campaign, and who heavily researched so they would know the rules to win elections EACH state.
Oops, never mind.
I wonder why China or anyone else isn’t talking about Cruz or scared of him getting elected...oh, that’s right, he’ll keep the bad trade deals coming and continue selling American jobs to the highest bidder.
Cruz is part of the game, that’s why they don’t care if he gets elected. Trump will shake up the status quo and least fight for Americans jobs.
Yes!
Yeah, they are afraid they won’t be able to take advantage much longer of the crooks and fools who have been running our foreign policy. They may actually have to deal with smart people who put America’s national interest first. And they are right.
Self censored as to what the rest of the world can go do.
The 400,000,000 in dirty PAC money from Robert Mercer / Wall Street cheap labor cartel used to promote Ted Bush and destroy Trump 24/7 is all about ramming thru Heidi Cruz ‘s TPP nightmare creation for their owner Goldman Sachs and to get Robert Mercer bailed out of his 6 to 10 billion IRS tax fraud mess.
These two Cruz Grifters make the Clinton's look like rank amateurs in lie and spin and distract strategy .
That’s a good thing.
Cute
“They all hate us, anyhow.”
Exactly!
Pretty much fills out the list of everyone Trump could possibly piss off.
Are they finished being offended yet?
And HUGH.
Trump continues to piss off the right people. BTW, South Korea and Japan will pay us to keep our troop there so there’s very little chance they will build nukes. Europe is a different story.
The media hates Trump - believe these stories as you choose.
