He always has been mentally ill. This lunatic only now has been open about it because he can’t resist his dark urges. He is one sick puppy. But, then, who wouldn’t be if they realized their life adds-up to being a malignancy upon humanity. His fake “family” will soon abandon him just as his parents did. What a worthless sack.
Thanks. I’ve been watching all of this with a lot of interest. Trump has already made more progress in a month than most presidents do in 2 or 3 years, and he’s not even inaugurated yet.
But he made some comments campaigning that got him a lot of heat from the press, and one of those was his viewpoint toward Putin. In this day of internet everything, Putin was definitely paying attention, and sees a chance to abort a possible world war, which I don’t think he wants.
Putin is a ruthless dictator, make no mistake about that. But he’s also smart, he knows a war with us would be a bad idea. If anyone starts lobbing nuclear warheads around, his country is demolished too, and people fail to realize he loves his country just the same as Trump loves his.
Putin is an adversary, for sure, but he’s also smart enough to see the writing on the wall. He walked away from the globalists in the past couple of years, and he knows Trump is the only potential ally he has against them. Who else has publicly come out against globalism and has the backbone to stand up to them? So Putin is looking out for his own interests, and looking to avoid a major conflict at the same time. He knows Trump is also not interested in a war, he’ll never start one, but if one is brought to his doorstep, he intends to leave nothing but ashes on theirs.
I think the two will get along, and do just what I said before, establish a working relationship that is agreeable to both, and beneficial to both, probably without becoming actual allies. I also think that’s the best way to go, we don’t want a war with Russia either, both countries would end up destroyed if it resulted in nukes being lobbed around.
What we both should be more worried about is Iran and North Korea deciding to nuke somebody...Putin and Trump both have sense enough to only use them in a defensive manner. They know the results would not be good. Iranian and North Korean leaders are just plain crazy, I don’t think either one realizes the wider implications of starting a nuclear conflict. I also don’t think Iran realizes that the radioactive fallout from nuking Israel would mean death to millions of their own people and the entire middle east.
So...Obama and his attacks on Israel has some very serious implications. Congress should push back, if they have any sense at all. If Obama has his way, he’ll see a war break out by the time he leaves office, leaving Trump in a difficult position, which he would love. Or to be more accurate, his puppet master Soros would love...War breaks out in Israel, the middle east is already in chaos, all hell breaks loose, next thing you know it escalates into a world war.
I’ve said for years the middle east is where WWIII will start, if at all. This is the kind of thing that could do it. That’s why this is all interrelated, and Putin and Trump both should be very careful how they deal with it. I think they both know that, and if the two can get along, it would be a good thing. If they can stop the mess in the middle east, we just might dodge WWIII, in our lifetime anyway. I don’t think any one country can do it alone, especially if they cannot get the middle eastern countries themselves to grow a backbone and fight back. That doesn’t mean be best buddies, just get along. No reason not to.
It is important to remember that both France and the UK voted in support of the Resolution along with Russia, China, NZ, Angola, Egypt, Japan, Malaysia, Senegal, Spain, Ukraine, Uruguay, and Venezuela. 14 out of the 15 members of the Security Council voted for it. The US abstained. No one voted against it.
Smaller aircraft have a relatively horrible safety record. Sometimes passengers suffer unusual injuries not easily explained by the crash. Ask the investigators concerning Ron Brown. Oh no—the team suffered causalities of their own and can’t testify!
You need to reread the Constitution. Congress has "meddled" in foreign diplomacy since the very beginning of the Republic. Whether it is funding or appointment confirmations or declaring war, Congress has a substantial role in diplomacy and foreign policy. The President is not a dictator.
Beginning with the fact that there never was a Palestine.
Discussion is all these politicians ever do. Thankfully Trump is not a politician.
It is congress job to fund or not fund the foreign policy.
I think there are a few principled congress members, but most of them just do what needs to be done to get reelected. That’s why they discuss issues and get out on the news and talk about them, but never really do anything. That way they placate all their constituents.
Bump for later
The irony is that the mau-mau and ZIVs Obama supporters are oblivious to the fact that Obungo's UN representative's sole vote or non vote decided the passage of the resolution --- a single vote of any member of the Security Council.
In the struggle between the civilized man and the koranimal white Hut koranimal, I side with Israel...
21 days and the POS POTUS is gone.
And I’m going to have pancakes for breakfast that day.
I don’t think Congress will do a thing.
Defund the UN, sure they can do that, but they cannot, for example, do these things that are mentioned in the article:
“Other punitive actions by Congress could include expelling Palestinian diplomats from U.S. soil and scaling back ties with foreign nations that voted in favor of the controversial measure”
Input yes, but they do not make final decisions on foreign policy matters such as recalling diplomats or altering foreign relations.
“You need to reread the Constitution.”
I don’t think so.
“Whether it is funding or appointment confirmations or declaring war, Congress has a substantial role in diplomacy and foreign policy.”
None of that would allow them to do these things mentioned in the article, which is what I was talking about:
“Other punitive actions by Congress could include expelling Palestinian diplomats from U.S. soil and scaling back ties with foreign nations that voted in favor of the controversial measure”
Such steps can only be taken by the Executive branch.
I’m surprised to see this -if true - and I will accept it. But congress can’t be trusted.
We have seen that nearly all of congress is corrupt and on the take just to stay in their offices. Party doesn’t matter. If Trump has had effect, some may have been as a keynoter — maybe some honest congresspeople didn’t have the nuts to stand up for truth before and now follow trump’s example — but also, even some of the corrupt ones (and I include Cruz) may see that it will be that much harder to screw with their bosses (the American people) from now on.
Very well said.
Can you tell me what Article and Section gives this power exclusively to the Executive? I’ve been trying to find it.
So far I have only found these:
Article 1 Section 8 - Congress shall have the power to ....
regulate commerce with foreign nations......
define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations.....
to declare war....
Article II Section 2 requires 2/3 consent of Senate for treaties
So I am a bit confused as to why you think it’s not Congress’ job to check an out of control Executive taking actions that are detrimental to a US Ally and further destablilising the Middle East.
I ask merely from curiosity, and not from any attempt to be disagreeable-simply to understand.
Very well stated!
