Why Don’t Democrats Want Diplomacy with Russia?
Posted On 01 Aug 2016
When Barack Obama was running for president, he ran on a platform of peace. Fully aware that he was speaking to a country sick and tired of Middle Eastern wars that had gone on too long and cost too many lives, he vowed to guide us in a new, diplomatic direction that would bring our troops home and improve the security of the world. So powerful was this rhetoric that Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize before actually accomplishing any of these high-minded aspirations. Just talking about diplomacy in those days was enough to send liberals into a worshipful frenzy.
But apparently, things have changed.
Up until last week, the Democrat line on Donald Trump was that he was a reckless maniac who would launch nuclear weapons at the first foreign official who insulted him on Twitter. But now, desperate to divert attention away from the DNC hack that exposed the party’s attempts to thwart democracy, the Democrats claim that Trump is dangerously cozy with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They are blasting him for suggesting that maybe the world would be better off if America and Russia improved diplomatic relations.
There is, strangely enough, no discussion of nominating Trump for the Nobel Prize…
In fact, there’s not much discussion at all. There are just wild conspiracy theories and fear-mongering. On CNN Saturday, Russian Studies professor Stephen Cohen said it was regrettable to see how Democrats and the media have responded to Trump’s comments on Moscow.
“We’re approaching a Cuban Missile Crisis level nuclear confrontation with Russia,” he said. “And there is absolutely no discussion, no debate, about this in the American media. Then along comes, unexpectedly, Donald Trump, who says he wants to end the New Cold War and cooperate with Russia in various places and – astonishingly – the media is full of what only can be called neo-McCarthyite charges that he is a Russian agent, that he is a Manchurian Candidate, and that he is Putin’s client.”
Liberals blasted Republican candidates like Chris Christie who suggested blowing Russian planes out of the sky in Syria. Now they blast Trump for suggesting that Russia and America should join forces against ISIS. So, basically, there’s only one good prescription: to do exactly what Obama has done – nothing more and nothing less.
Well, in fairness, it would be hard to do less.
The universal condemnation of Trump’s remarks on Russia and NATO show exactly why it’s so important to put fresh blood in the White House. We’ve been hawking the same general policies for so long that we can barely remember why they’re beneficial in the first place. There’s no room for an alternative viewpoint. Trump is one of the only members of either party willing to color outside the lines.
Better relations with Russia make for a more secure America. Whether or not Trump can actually improve those relations remains to be seen, but he could hardly do worse than the current administration.
when both countries possess vast nuclear arsenals…discussion would seem the preferable option!….
It seems the Democraps disagree with anything Trump says because they fear change and their “progressive programs” are a disaster to our economy? O’Bungle got the Nobel Prize for talking about world peace and did nothing to accomplish it!!!???
They gave the Nobel Prize to someone who did not deserve it, nor did anything to deserve it. By all accounts they cheapened the Nobel Prize to the point where it no longer is a prize.
Sure it is, a booby prize !
The Nobel is still a prize, but doesn’t mean anything when applied BEFORE some actions seen !!!
Still no action from the award winner.
Just destruction!!
Big time destruction.
Russia and China have Joined Forces to Kill the U.S. Dollar
Putin’s Plan to Crush America
If they succeed in bringing down the IMF, that would lead to the collapse of the US dollar.
Could Trump personally profit from this? I believe he could.

Don’t think China is innocent on the destruction of the US. Remember they have our most important industry sewn up. Thanks to our elected.
During the time Clinton was president. We gave China the were with all to orbit satelites. They very same thing that is used to target ICBM.
That is what our fools do not see, China is going to have the largest Military. They did not build that reef military island for a play ground.
Yea, he wants all his overseas holdings to become worthless, like your revisionism and misinformation.
Trump has more to lose then anyone running for office in both parties. With Trump it is the brand. If Trump blows this were he looks stupid. It will last a long time
Yes You right, CORRUPT, LIAR, FRAUD Donald Trump has a vision that shows him to collect $$$$$$$$$, even if it hurts lot of people.
The way it is now very few benefit. With the false flag wars. To make guys like Dick Chaney rich. I want peace. I want my America to bring are troops home. Stop giving are money away. Return are money to a gold standard. You want corrupt. Soros the Koch brothers. Hillary stole the primary vote. Bernie Sanders was robbed. I would rather have Sanders over Clinton any time. Stealing an election is the worst crime there is in a democracy.
Welcome to the Democratic Party!!
I only call my self republican in word only. I could not attach my name to democrat in any way shame or form.
Anyone can benefit from it if they know what they are doing. All one need do is learn to live off the grid.
Are you stupid by nature or do you have to practice. Russia has NATO on all there borders. If Russia or China invaded Mexico. We would act far worse then Putin.
Because he refused to shuffle for you? Russia does not give a hoot about you. You folk are so ignorant. You make up stories.
Your statement proves your ignorance.
Sticks and stones may break my bones but names, particularly those of Conservatives , Tea Partyers. Etc. will never hurt me. They prove I have spoken Truth2Power and the white power structure hates the truth. Thank yo for your bDge of honor!
You just proved it again.
Proved what? That I do not shuffle? You can go back under your rock now with Lucifer! I do not like your values or to make it clearer complete lack of moral and Andrican values. Support of Communist Russia that is a military dictatorship. You folk are just supporters of Lucifer!
What are you writing about. Are you ten years old.
I want my America to get along with Putin Russia.
I reiterate. You are ignorant. Why do you want to get along with Rusdia? Is it just the optics? There is no reasonable reSon for the US to trust Rusdia. Putin has proven himself to not be worthy of trust.Russians look like you? I am not among the misinformed. Trump supporters are as evident that Trump was not investigated for reason for suggesting Russia hack Hiliary Clinton. Let me suggest they hack another American and I would be investigated and placed on a watch list. For that reason alone , Trump is not worthy to be President.
We are all on a watch list. Every time you use the internet your cell phone. it is all recorded. If Russia were attacking Mexico. You would want America to do what Russia is doing about country being invaded on there border.
Are you saying I made this up. I do not need for someone to tell me what is news.
And I d o not need anyone to tell me how I better think. Trump and Trumperrs are the biggest liars in the world. So, please do not tell me what goes on in the world when you folk are isolationist who have no idea about anything going on in the world .
I agree I get information were I find it. ABC NBC CBS Fox are in the bag for the democrats. For everything said about democrats is all good. Everything said about republicans is all bad. Every thing Trump says is twisted. As for ISIS Obama and Hillary founded them armed.
I agree Russia has no plan for America.
More like a trash can award
seems all you need to do to get it is be black and an ass hole , nobel peace of shit prize goes to all kind of freaks that don’t deserve it
And Obama is not even black but a white man conning everyone who is brainless. He is 50% white via mother, 40+% Arab (and can be seen in his bone structure/color), and a miserly 6+% black. Another pretender and he must be removed before he can do more damage. Apparently he has never filed for American citizenship either after coming as a foreign student! Hence, he is an invader/illegal and can be arrested and removed and hanged! So, let’s get it done!
President Teddy Roosevelt was black?
TR was, unlike you and bathhouse Berry an honorable MAN.
He was an honorable man!
He was shot, WHEN he bolted, from the REPUBLICAN party!
He formed the BULL MOOSE party!
Would he condone Trump?
Perfectly clear?
Back to your slime pit moron; The space between your donkey ears needs a refill.
MOST Americans read of the non-aggression pact between Hitler and Stalin!
Did you?
Way befor you were born dunderhead. and it was the REAL one not the revisionist version the liberal professors preach.
If there is anywhere the actual story on Chamberlain and Hitler esists anywhere you might give THAT one a squint. Pretty sure the secessionists have done their best to destroy the real thing and replace it with a tainted version, though.
NO , BUT far far better man than Obama or the islamic moron from palestine that got one for nothing.
you are proof they can not fix stupid. Be quiet there are grownups trying to post here.
Why would Trump Deserve a peace prize as he advances the Fourth Reich in the US? He would send al non- whites to concentration camps, I guess. He may want peace with a white man but not with any American who is not white. You call that wanting pEace in the world? He does not want peace in the US. He just wants to make
America white again despite the fact whites are of European descent and stir this land from the Indians. You folk just believe that the white man is all that matters.
Hey! Don’t omit the RINO’s
With you 1000%
RINO/Democrat elitist are the real culprits here.
How soon we forget, Republicans blame Obama for pulling troops out of Iraq in an effort to end the war and bring about peace and now he has done nothing, When Obama said he wanted to reset with Russia Republicans said he was naive and weak. So what changed? Trump didn’t actually say he wanted to improve the relationship with Russia, this article suggest that he did, Obama said he wanted to improve the relationship. This article doesn’t mention Trump’s long standing relationship and business dealings with some shady Russians with connections to Putin, nor does it mention the Russian connection between several members of his staff. This article is an attempt to provide cover for Trump and judging from the comments it has done it’s job. There are still months before the elections. Insulting veterans, Russian ties, wife posing in the nude, wife posing nude in lesbian pictures, all in less than two weeks. What’s next?
When did Trump insult veterans? What does his wife posing in the nude have to do with politics?
You don’t think he insulted John McCain or you don’t think McCain was a veteran? His wife posing in the nude has as much to do with politics as being gay, or being Muslims, or abortion, or the presidents daughter attending a concert, or the way she danced, or what the presidents wife wore or her facial expression, or how much she weighs.
McCain was/is a veteran but is known for aiding and abetting the enemy, crashing 3 planes because he thought he could be a pilot, and it was his military Dad that even got him anything. He is old, senile, greedy and rich on our backs. So a veteran of duplicity is all!
That’s very patriotic of you who like Trump never served in even the Salvation Army
I’m Class of 68 and a Combat Engineer.
When were YOU in country and what was YOUR MOS?
My service record is being audited and as soon as the audit is completed I will reveal it and it will be great, it will be so great, trust me, I promise you it will be great.
HEY stupid; Where DID YOU SERVE MORON?
US ARMY 1966-1969
US NAVY BRAT FROM BIRTH
I guess you can call being used as a test dummy serving
Please enlighten everyone as to your service before maligning others (MORON First class/low class)
McCain was a lame brain N.Viet butt kisser in prison and reported on the other prisoners. NOTICE none come forward to defend the RINO SOB. The rest of you idiocy is just that moronic jackass spew of stupidity.
Nothing, but Bobby is jealous he does not have Melania. Her pictures were modeling pictures, stupid and not real life!
You just love obozo because he’s black. Period . Doesn’t matter how much destruction he does. He’s black so it’s ok.
You need to WAKE UP!
No, I just hate hypocrisy
We hate to see a moron pee in his panties; Now back to your toilet.
We hate to see the results of a lifetime of inbreeding let loose on society, stay with your banjo
Call your fellows in Chicago and ask them about hypocrisy Sweet pee Obama promised the moon and delivered a BIG 0 NADA and less. then talk about hypocrisy.
That’s the opinion of the 33 of you who comment here + Trump, Palin and the Fox news staff. Hardly representative of the rest of America
Sickofit-Obama was NOT vetted, so we AMERICANS don’t know about the ‘black’ heritage. We suspect that he is primarily muslim! So, apparently muslim and black is PC!!
There you go the real reason appears. He’s black, Also Kenyan, muslim, spawn of satan and today I learn 6% Arab. Be honest at least with yourself. Your racist and nothing Obama could, should or did do would satisfy you. The hatred on these posts is disgusting and juvenile. The only service record of any importance is Trumps. He is the one attacking veterans, all because they have the audacity to criticize him. He like the majority of these posters are immature and in denial. If Hillary Clinton had spoken about any veteran as Trump has you would be howling for blood. Hypocrisy and stupidity abound here. Yes Clinton voted for the Iraq invasion and war. Based upon a lie promulgated by the President of the United States and the leading member of your party. I assume you are still Republicans which is also a statement to your gullibility and or the parties reliance on conflation and fantasy. No one, me included (as I also supported the invasion) believed the POTUS would lie to everyone and kill 3000+ Americans and untold others because he was mad. (Does Donald Trump come to mind?). Then keep the cost off the books so he and you could believe it cost us nothing. Now back to the woman this article is written about. No-one denigrates her. Even though she has been coached to blame Clinton. As if Clinton could have jumped upon her witches broom and used her magic evil wand to smite the attackers. The GOP controlled house and senate repeatedly ignored requests for additional funding for security. Your team is so inept they have spread lies about Clinton for 20+ years. They have convened so very many super super-select committees on Benghazi et al. Spent millions while accomplishing nothing of their primary duties; Disgusting but indicative of your sides reliance of obstruction and destruction not common effort to improve the lives of Americans. Now I expect a lot on one liners from the deep thinkers here; A lot of name calling and insults. But that’s ok. It’s expected from Trump supporters, Tea Party intellectuals and America haters. So bring it on. Your posts say more about your character than anything I can write.
Brainwashed is what you are if you can’t see the murdering, liar & criminal Hillary is!! You must hate America if you elect killery!
Huzzah, Amazingly I have again accurately predicted the future. Your response perfectly reflects my prediction. You lead with calling me a name labeling me incapable of independent thought. Although it is your response which parrots the other sheep toeing the party line. You indulge in fantasy attributing unproven accusations re Clinton, and your state I am unpatriotic. The Trifecta of Inanity. All without any shred of evidence, any iota of truth beyond your own ridiculous and fantastic belief system and warped world view. Sir, your win the prize of Moron Cum Laude, Congratulations. Ladies and gentlemen a round of applause for the newest and until disproven dumbest poster here. And that sir is some distinction. Step up, step up, it not too late for you to compete for MCL, keep those lies and distortions flowing, you can’t win if you don’t enter.
No real proof or shreds of evidence because all of the people who are about to tell the truth, end up DEAD!!!
Keep on mocking me, I really don’t care. Your vote for Killery is a vote for a dictator & NWO!!
No Problem, you are so easy to mock. It requires little, only observation. So back to the propaganda; murders, That trite allegation. For a group who can muster many committees and spend millions of your tax dollars to investigate many purported activities there is little in the way of investigations of MURDER. But of course she will have murdered the prosecutors and criminal investigators because they were getting too close. Shudder. Admit it you suffer from Clinton Derangement Syndrome, Unfortunately the only cure is death. I’ll write Hillary using our super secret decoder rings and maybe she can add you to her growing list of prospects. Are you really still a teenager? Your temperament and intellectual capacity don’t seem fully developed.
Just fucking drop dead
So mature. So typical. So conservative.
Really, maybe we should create another level of intellectual incapability. Sir your readings may exceed our charted outcomes. More investigations may be necessary. Keep the source material flowing please.
Fuck off with your name calling. Doesn’t mean jack shit to me anymore because that’s all you liberals do.
And for the record, I love America!! You don’t
You hate America and America hates you. Get out.
I called you no names, I commented on your content free writing style and your adolescent temperament. Like every other super “patriot” you have no answers because there are none. Just innuendo, lies and hate. So no I will not ‘fuck off’ I am in your face because (now the name calling) you are either a liar, which I doubt because that implies you know the truth and choose to ignore it. And if you know the truth tell Ken Starr, Trey Gowdy, Darryl Issa and all your super patriot friends and non thinkers (oops another name). But you can’t be a liar because you ‘love America” and there is no truth to know. As I earlier predicted (I really am amazing) you devolve to yelling through your keyboard (the spittle must be amazing). So make your comments, keep them coming, you are a hilarious interlude to everyone day. You must be late for shop class, better run along now.
Most Americans support Obama because of the great things he’s done for our country. You hate him because he’s half black. Racist.
http://pleasecutthecrap.com/obama-accomplishments/
Fuck off with your racist rhetoric. So old now.
I hate Obama because he’s left our borders open, ordered border patrol to stand down, left the floodgates open for Muslims that are unwilling to assimilate to come in & terrorize American citizens, more than doubled our debt, allowed & almost promoted open season on cops, set race relations back 50 years, allowed the thugs of BLM to get away with their bullshit protests that always get violent, burn down towns, block streets, loot, riot & cause physical harm to whites just because they are white-and you call me a racist!!! The unemployment is through the roof, food stamps are at an all time high, he is ignorant the vets all the while giving free shit to illegals & Muslim terrorist.. Letting men into women’s bathrooms & locker rooms too. Oh yeah he’s a great president! NOT!!
It has absolutely nothing to do with his skin color jackass!! I’d hate any color president that has done to our country what Obamass has done!! And that is just the tip of the iceberg ..
Welcome to your new third world country!!
You are so fucking stupid, I don’t want to engage you in conversation anymore!!!
Go shove your head right back up your ass where it had been for the last 7 1/2 years!!!
You hate Obama because he’s half black. You can’t even be honest.
Too bad Obama’s approval rating continues to rise:

What the hell are you taking.? Stop at once! It’s REALLY screwing up your brain.
Which is more than I can say for you Mr scarecrow since the wizard hasn’t answered your plea for a brain
HEY stupid and did it without a Status of Forces agreement and LAUNCHED ISIS which he then supplied with weapons to try and take down Assad in syria; Don’t forget either that he TELLS the enemy what he’s going to do before doing it and then tells them when he is leaving; SHEER asinine stupidity. GOT more people killed in Afghanistan and Iraq than BUSH did the whole time he was in charge.
You write about as intelligent as you look
What’s next?
You finding out something that is not Revisionist history or a Marxists type lie told over and over until it is believed.
I’m not holding my breath, though. The liberal educators have brainwashed you far too well. – Looks like the guy who said we will bury you with communism was right. – I remember him saying it, BTW.
Oh you mean like Obama isn’t a citizen of the USA, or he ordered military personnel to stand down in Benghazi? Or the latest one Obama was responsible for Captain Khan’s death? Keep telling the same lie until it’s believable is a Republican strategy. Was the guy Donald Trump? He seems to have a great rapport with Russia.
And this article doesn’t mention Clinton’s relationship with Putin/Russia while SOS, and other countries, as well. Over 100 countries to fatten
the purse of the Clinton Foundation. Do some research………………….
Another lie to keep telling until it becomes true.
AND why do democrats NOT want diplomacy with ISREAL?
Not true at all, Southerner! America has been closely aligned w/Israel since their war of independence in 1947. The only American (so called) that is not is our POTUS because of his heritage being an Arab loving Muslim!
Thanks jackhy-my post wasn’t worded properly and thanks for the correction! 🙂
The democrats and the republican leadership are the same. It does not matter who is charge of the government. Nothing gets done. The last thing the two parties agreed on was hating on Trump. The people have spoken we want Trump for president.
Wasn’t it just before the last election that Obama was heard to say to Mr. Medvedev that he (Obama) would have “more flexibility” to do something AFTER the election? Whatever that something was, it apparently was not facilitated by Obama having won the election. “Better relations with Russia make for a more secure America.”
That little overheard comment also pretty much let the country know that the vote wasn’t necessary and that the fix had been put in.
Democrats don’t know what they like, they just know what they don’t like. What they don’t like is anything that doesn’t fit their present mantra.
Look at Hillary Clinton for example, she flip-flops on everything depending on how the political winds blow on that particular day. At heart though she is an opportunist, she will say or do anything that will get her political approval from whatever group she is pandering to at the time.
The present administration ( administration is not a really good description of whatever is masquerading as such
at the present time) would probably hide under a desk or take a vacation as opposed to really facing a situation.
The art of diplomacy has been described in the past as walking toward a viciously aggressive barking dog with a hand reaching out to soothe or pet , while holding a large club (stick) behind one’s back . If Diplomacy doesn’t work then one must apply Strategy and I don’t think “global warming” , Blaming Police for deaths of Thugs , Throwing stones at a political candidate who just might to be able to really handle and correct the eight year old mess and especially bringing Hundreds of Thousands of Islamic terrorists( no matter what “Mask” they wear),or political correctness is a strategy strong enough to dissuade the present Dangers America is facing.
I think we have had enough lying in the past eight years and it’s time for a “REAL CHANGE” for the better , not more of the same pocket lining, money grabbing schemes , “dead people voting , illegal aliens voting ,bending over backwards to appease faux religions (Ideologies) that don’t want to become Americans , but just want our country , and they want it on their terms…………..
Yes this is our America and we are Better than letting that happen and we need a Leader , not an Apologist to
place America back on the correct path.
Good article. America has to quit trying to change governments and start looking at what governments do. We cannot make the world a copy of the US. They have a right to decide on the form of government they want. There are still many ways we can co-operate. We have to quit running our foreign policy on just our values that the world doesn’t share.
Actually, I’d suggest that a “change of governments” would be extemely beneficial… especially if we could begin with a total regime change here in the USA.
ALL people’s of the world want a democracy… once they hear of it… but their rulers/leaders may not let them hear about it or have it… that is even still semi-true in the USA so far…
The Democrats have already gotten cozy with Russia- Skolkovo(their silicon valley) sending millions through the Clinton Foundation . The trouble is it involves weapons and defense systems. So why bash Trump for saying he wants friendship with Russia. My guess is we want a deal with Syria to stop immigration and build a pipeline
or we want to threaten Erdogan who is making trouble with our plans for pipeline t here. In any case these behind the scenes schemes are not understood by the public and cloud their judgement when making choices for the election. The people doing this are evil.
Clip: ” but he could hardly do worse than the current administration.”
This last sentence gets a huuuuuge amen from me.
Anyone that is not part of the current regime would be an improvement.
Obama was, is, and always will be full of s**t. He must be in a lying competition with the Clinton’s.
Historically in general the Russian leaders are Rogues. They never did any thing good for humanity not even for Russians. Their leaders say communism is the way for all, but most of their leaders are MULTIBILLIONAIRs. They cannot stand freedom of their own citizen.
As for CORRUPT/ALWAYS LYING/CHEATING Donald Trump, what can I say!!! He is so disgraceful that EVEN GOPs are criticizing his views. His talks and facial postures are so disgraceful that watching news programs is “JUST AM I WATCHING THE SHOWS WITH A HOPE FOR LEARNING ABOUT GODD THINGS HAPPENING TO HUMANITY”.
Russians did a good thing for humanity… they got rid of the evilCzars/kings… and rid of the evil religions… And now Americans will get rid of Hillary and get rid of the Clinton Dynasty !!!
bisusinha,, Are you talking about Russia or the liberals? Our “leaders” are multimillionairs ie Clintons and Obama. They can not stand freedom of their own citizens. It is not possible for anyone to be more corrupt than Obama or Clintons
I think Trump is brilliant in his thinking to work with Putin. The old saying was ” Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” I think working with a country that has a strong military would be to our advantage. When we had Reagan as President he was forceful and countries knew that when he said something they feared him. We need to get back to that same forcefulness. Trump is a business man that knows that you get a lot more with honey than vinegar. We need a negotiator not a blowhard that says nothing and does even less. Obamas’ saying should be like the TV program “Criminal Minds” wheels up in 20, because he is good for flying all over to do nothing or do damage to our country and citizens. The trouble with them condemning Trump is, when Russia gave the space station to the world, we were the first ones to jump on board and take full advantage of it. I guess that was a different story, we weren’t getting chummie with the Russian cosmonauts.
Trump is also being condemned for Mr and Mrs Khan, Well Mr Khan never brought up the fact that when Hilary was testifying about Benghazi her comment to the panel for the deaths of the four men was “What difference does it make now.” And when the mother of one that died was called a “lair.” They never brought the insults for their service to the front for the american people and condemned her.The news and media is so bias towards Trump that it is becoming quite obvious that the Dems are really running scared. The news on Yahoo the other day even said that Wall street is thinking twice of their support. In the news paper today they had a national pole and the question is “Should Donald Trump apologize to the Khan’s” The yes’s 40% the NO’s 52%. I think it says it all
A better question might be, “Why after years of criticizing the Democrats for reaching out to Russia and Putin do the Republicans, over night all the sudden love Russia and Putin? Why after years of wanting Assange hung are they welcoming his latest releases and threatened releases.” I have this funny feeling they are practicing the time honored tradition of “My enemies enemies my friend. The Republican had better watch who they crawl in bed with some of the venereal diseases out there might make them start looking for the nearest Planned Parenthood.
You ever wonder what Assange might have on Trump? We will find out as soon as he wins, should we be so unfortunate.
Trump is NOT “Republicans”! .. or “Democrats”… That’s his popularity… he’s not carrying on past Republican/Democrat blunders and stupidity… And the USA already allied with Russia/USSR against Catholic Religious Terrorist Hitler in WWII… And that worked out well…
And that worked out well? It lead to the division of Europe, the annexation of the Balkans, the annexation of a Japanese Island in the North and a cold war that lasted 50 years. It took a Russian with an open mind to thaw relations with the United States. It is only to bad we could not take our relationship to the next level, but when you treat a country like Russia around they tend to push back.
Russia only sided with us during WWII because of Hitler’s arrogant meth head stupid invasion of the Soviets. They practice my enemies enemies my friend with the best of them.
We WON WWII !!! .. That was the important part… Have to ignore some minor details… nothing is ever perfect… WWII followed WWI by only 20 years… Maintaining military occupation of Germany and Japan has prevented WWIII for 71 years so far… I guess we “annexed” them, also… “Cold War” is just the religious term for PEACE since religics can’t even say the hated word “peace” and mean it…
I have to wonder where you have buried your head, either in the sand or where the sun doesn’t shine, but it is definitely buried. Had we all been able to go home there would have been no “Cold War Peace” just peace. The Soviets annexed the Balkans. They merely had a sphere of influence over the rest of Eastern Europe, just as we had a sphere of influence over the rest of Europe. The big difference is our sphere of influence was always voluntary and open to challenge, the French asked our military to leave in 1966 and we left. I only hope we don’t get the reality show The Donald want to run on the world television for the next 4 years.
Bruce, Bruce, Bruce…..Don’t talk truth and REAL history to these people. They aren’t learned enough to understand your statements. They aren’t at all interested in researching you facts. They just believe what their handlers(tea party and other republicons) tell them to. And they really don’t give a damn anyway.
You may as well go fishing and enjoy the rest of the day.
What you say is of coarse more than likely true. I worry when Trump can stand at the podium and spew his garbage and so many people slap each other on the back yell approvingly. What does that say for America?
Hilary Clinton has had 25 years of mud thrown at her and she has weathered it better than any man in politics. All it accomplished is to make the right hate her even more. When mud is thrown at almost every Politian it sticks like glue, because it is true. When the Colorado Senator was drummed out of the Senate for soliciting sex in the airport mens room he was guilty. Henry Hyde left Congress after a sex scandal, because it was true. Trent Lott was guilty. Hillary still stands and they hate her for it.
Anyone that would vote for Trump solely because of this hatred for Hilary is a fool and anyone that votes for Trump because they like what he stands for is an even bigger fool.
Criminal Hillary has been found out now…
You really are out of touch with reality aren’t you?
Trump might be rough around the edges & not PC, which I admire, but at least he hasn’t been a dirty politician for the last 50 years!! Trump loves America, unlike you liberals, and hasn’t killed anyone like Hillary has.. So stuff that up your butt!!
Sickofit – Take a real close look at the man you say is “a little rough around the edges”. I’m 70 years old and have weathered every President I have known anything about since my father argued the values of Eisenhower and Stevenson. I have never really cared who won the Whitehouse, because about the only thing they could do was appoint either a conservative or liberal to the Supreme court that may have an impact.
This man is scary to me. Not a day goes by he doesn’t say something that just is out and out stupid.
Hilary Clinton has had more mud slung at her than the average hog farm creates in a years time. I won’t say she is innocent, first you would just call me a liberal, but more important is she nor anyone else is ever completely innocent when accusations are thrown. I will say no one has had sufficient evidence to actually prove she has done anything wrong.
Let’s say she is completely responsible for the deaths in Benghazi. Four people died, because she did a lousy job. That incensed you to refuse to vote for her. How did you feel about the thousands that died in the twin towers because Bush ignored had tons of evidence that terrorist were going to attack the twin towers and George did nothing to prevent it. Did you vote for him again? How about his going awol from the National Guard? That didn’t bother either did it?
I only mention Bush, because the GOP will accept any mistake, regardless of how big a mistake is and not allow a mistake of much smaller magnitude from the Democrats. I know conservatives and liberals are both human and as such will make mistakes.
I worry about mistakes Hilary may make. I am terrified about mistakes The Donald is subject to make. For the first time in my life I am truly worried about one of the candidates and it isn’t Hilary.
70 years old & you are about to vote un-American. So sad. Hillary & slick Willie have a trail of 60 + dead bodies following them, doesn’t that matter?
I’m almost as old as you and no other president has done to our country what Obama has done.. And it isn’t good! I was like you as far as past presidents go.. Nothing any of them did was that much of a big deal. Until our current treasonous, lying Muslim POS … Hillary will finish us off. As far as mistakes being made, Clinton & Obama don’t make mistakes, their destruction is intentional. Doesn’t that worry you??
I have deep doom in the pit of my stomach thinking about what will happen to America if Hillary gets in… The America we know will be lost forever!
Vote Yrump!!
What an idiot. You mocked me because you thought I was from New York (I live in California), and you support the New Yorker Trump.
Ok then … California, no better you jerk
California is the strongest economy in the country:
The economy of California is the largest in the United States. As of 2015, California’s gross state product (GSP) is about $2.458 trillion. The state’s GSP grew 4.1% in 2015.
Most of what makes America great is happening in California, where on Tuesday voters will decide the largest of the presidential primaries. The horse-race reportage from the campaign trail gets caught up in delegate counts and the daily back and forth, but beneath all that there is a consensus about the challenges facing the world: globalization, urbanization, climate change. California is addressing them better than any country, while simultaneously setting an example as the world’s most diverse and dynamic economy.
If the state were stacked up against nations, California would be the seventh-largest economy, with an equivalent gross domestic product greater than Brazil’s. It’s not just big, but also booming. California had a 3.29 percent growth rate last year, more than five times that of No. 3 Japan, almost twice No. 4 Germany, about half again as much as No. 5 U.K., almost three times No. 6 France and a third more than No. 1 U.S.
California is bankrupt!!
English is almost the second language, food stamps, welfare, free health care to illegals …. How wonderful for you!! HAHAHAHA..
Nope. Our state is not bankrupt, you idiot.
There are more Chinese speakers than Spanish speakers in my city. You know nothing.
You cannot afford to live in my city in welfare and food stamps. It’s not possible. Rents start at $3500 for a studio.
Bruce Weathery,, I compared your post with Buzz Waldron’s and he sure makes sinse. It is too bad that you ODed on liberal cool-aid and can not separate the fact from fiction as your posts indicates.
Read he news. I haven’t seen a positive thing said about Trump from anyone except the fools that plan to vote for him. Even they have a hard time coming up with a decent excuse.
The 90% of voters who are for Trump are all he needs…
You need to read a little more than the idiotic posts that support your idiotic position. Try taking a class on recent world history at your local community college.
idiot…
Thank you…
We had no reason to stay in France… other than the language, it’s the country most like USA… even had Revolution at the same time… our stay in Germany and Japan is NOT “voluntary”, lot’s of evil Catholic Hitlerites still just under the surface there… And in Ukraine… You’re a total insane idiot, don’t even bother answering… Won’t waste another second on your lunacy…
Buzz Lightyear – We had plenty of reason to stay in France. After the end of WWII Germany was a first line of defense should the Soviets decide to launch an attack. France was our quick resupply lineIt much, but it added one more thing for the Soviets to think about. When we left France it gave the Soviets a little more breathing room.
Again take a class and stop relying on idiots for your support.
ood one”Annexed the Balkans” That’s a good one kid. Tell it to Josip Broz Tito AKA “Martial Tito” who was a major thorn in the side of Stalin and Khrushchev.
You have had too much liberal progressive revisionist history.
I owe you an apology it was not the Balkans the Soviets annexed it was the Baltic States of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia My mistake. You are correct Tito was a thorn in Stalin’s side. He was the only communist Stalin new would give the Soviets a run for their money. But Tito was a communist by choice so Stalin did not need to control him did he.
As for revisionist history, I’m not the one that paint our founding fathers as pious Christian hell bent on making America a Christian only nation. My history is of Ben Franklin waking to a tankard of rum each morning, probably in any woman’s bed other than his wife’s. Thomas Jefferson thought the bible a was a very good fairy tell. I will say he had great respect for Jesus, the man, as a very good person that only wanted the best for mankind.
I’m sure there were Quakers that indeed wanted to label us a Christian nation. Thank God they failed in their efforts.
by the way aren’t you even a little curious why Assange, and avowed Socialist and Putin, anything, but a Capitalist, would want a so call conservative as our President? Doesn’t it even raise a slight question in your mind? Can they see Trump possibly alienating the U.S. from the entire world? I mean right now we don’t have many in the world that like us now. You ever wonder how many would like us after his election?
You better look at more than beating your hated Hilary.
Bruce Weatherty,, I can not picture Trump alienating us from the rest of the world, but I can see Hillary and her liberal lame brain friends ie Odumba surrendering this nation to the one world government group. What friends we had has been lost due to Odumba’s policies and Hillary’s quest for power and money.
Buzz Waldron,, Your post is the first post I have read on this site.that makes sense.
That’s easy – JULIAN (What a name) has NOTHING on Trump. ANd it’s TRump and not the party that wants to improve relations.
What a joke. Trump has no idea what he wants. He sure doesn’t want to be President or he wouldn’t be out there alienating everyone in America. What is scary is how many stupid Americans have bought his hog wash.
Please put your head BACK up your rectum; That way we wont hear your asinine DOnkey troll spew.
Sorry Pam your head is in my way. Besides there is nothing asinine about the truth. But then if you support The Donald the last thing you care about is the truth.
Always need a BOOGEYMAN (Russia) to DISTRACT the public’s attention away from what is actually happening! What perversions Obama is up to next… What police deaths he is causing… .. We should have cooperated with Russia on Afghanistan all along… instead of joining with Osama bin Laden in religious terrorism to drive the Russian peacekeeping troops out of Afghanistan… so we could insert our own troops in to die in Afghanistan… killed by Bush Buddy Osama bin Laden… Afghanistan is next door to Russia and was easy for them to keep their thumb on it… We have to expensively go 1/2 way around the world to do that !!!
Dude, it is the Russians unwilling to have diplomatic sessions. President Obama refuses to be inferior to Putin; sadly Trump does. Trump also has the situation of where he has absolutely no knowledge or experience. Face it. Trump is not the man for the job. His silver spoons will not help him be a decent president.
Obama is already vastly inferior to Putin and all Americans…
Just because Mr. Obama doesn’t ride a horse bare chested doesn’t mean he’s inferior to Putin. Putin is kept in power by some very rich oligarchish(if that’s a word) friends. It will be the same for The Donald if he gets elected.
In Russia, being wealthy means nothing if you’re not in Putin’s pocket. Witness that some very rich oil magnates in Russia wound up in prison because they wouldn’t back Putin.
Jakenhyde,,You are right but his action p[roves it. Odumba is kept in power by some very stupid people who believe the liberal talking points.. How do you know so much about Russia? My son who is a department head in a major collage and a Russian interpretor sees it very different.
@Charles Hood. Tell you what, Charles. I’m a university graduate myself. So I’m not stupid. And I voted for Obama twice because the republicans didn’t run anyone against him who made me feel safer or better off than he did. McCain was getting senile and Palin is a ditz. Romney was another silver spooner, like Trump, who never really had to work in his whole life. His words proved that he was completely out of touch with us common Americans. After Dubya and his administration left our country in the worst recession since the great depression, I decided that we didn’t need any more of what the republicans had done to our economy and standing in the world.
How do I know so much about Russia? The same way your son does….I listen to a wide range of news broadcasts. I don’t stick with one source as many folks do. Just because your son can translate Russian doesn’t necessarily mean he’s more up to date on Russian goings on than anyone else in the country. I can speak and translate Italian, French, and German. But that doesn’t make me an expert on the inner workings of those countries.
I find BBC news to be about the best at reporting world news without editorializing it.
Although I’m relatively liberal socially and politically, I almost never watch MSNBC. I do, however, watch Fox News regularly. I like to know what they’re up to in Rupert Land.
You don’t bite the hand that is feeding you. It was Hilary, who sold American uranium to the Russians. NOT TRUMP>
One of the reasons The Donald won’t show his tax returns is that he’s getting a lot of money from wealthy Russian buddies of Putin. No wonder he’s kissing Putin’s a$$ at every opportunity.
Eight years ago Trump’s son, Donnie Jr., said that a large portion of Trump’s money had come from Russian sources.
Why would anyone want diplomacy with a Russian government that is hacking American computers? And don’t think that they’re hacking only DNC computers.
USA is also hacking computers of every company and country… Trump’s tax returns aren’t finalized yet, because of IRS audit, so he has no accurate return to show…
You mean to tell us that Trump’s returns from ten years ago to present aren’t finalized yet? Baloney! So he’s being audited….and well he should be. Buffet, who is also being audited, challenged Trump to get together with him and share their returns with one another. My guess is the The Donald will not go for that.
Trump is the only presidential candidate in the last forty years to hide his tax returns. Must be some pretty nasty stuff in there that he doesn’t want the public to know about.
I do agree that our government is guilty of hacking info from other countries. I guess it’s like spy vs. spy. But it looks very much as though Trump and Putin are in cahoots when it comes to hacking the DNC’s stuff.
US Government is hacking ur computer right now fool
I know that. And you’re a fool for calling me one. I didn’t write anything that isn’t true….but you call me a fool for stating the truth. Get a real life Joe.
Americans – rip out those nose-rings and quit being led around by “progressives”. Your very survival DEPENDS on it.
I AGREE WITH TRUMP, WE NEED A PEACEFUL AGREEMENT WITH RUSSIA, WE CANNOT BE AT WAR WITH EVERYONE, AS BO THE BUNGLER HAS US NOW. WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR ALLIES, NOT INSULT THEM AS HE HAS ISRAEL.
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!
IN THE 80’s WE HAD REAGAN, HOPE, AND CASH. NOW WE HAVE O’BAMA, NO HOPE, AND NO CASH !!!! Reagan made the effort to get Russia to tear down their wall, and actually talked to them to end the cold war !!!
Give Buddhist 969 a chance. 969 means eradicate all islam and the “Walking Dead” that work for islamics such as Democrats and neo-conservatives.
they don’t want you to know the truth about socialisum . that’s why ,
They just hate everything he says. They don’t care about America, they prefer the one world order. Make America a third world country and the rest of the world will fold.
Khruschev denounced Stalin!
Gorbachev denounced Stalin!
Putin is an ex-KGB officer!
Expect him to denounce Stalin’s KGB?
The Diplomatic process is not necessary in the case of the Progressive/socialists and Russia. They’re already partners with the same goals in mind. Their like siblings, they may have a few little tiffs from time to time, but essentially, they’re of the same mind. Besides, the occasional growling at each other is mostly just show to make the rest of us think that there’s a difference between the two of them.
They already have “diplomacy” with Russia but they’d rather keep it behind closed doors, where they can ply their evil deeds away from the eyes of America! Case in point is Hellary’s recent brokering of the deal to sell 80% of a Canadian Uranium mine to Russia! The Democraps don’t ever want to talk about THAT!!
If he doesn’t say something they can attack, they produce one of their own, and stick Donald in the middle. This latest farce with this couple and their dead soldier son., very sad indeed, but certainly not a fault of Donalds. it was Hillarys playground over there, and went totally wrong. She pulled this gross stunt on Donald, and used these parents as puppets, which is her usual stunt. A total disgrace, is she.
The Nobel piece prize that was awarded to Obama was nothing more than a participation award to the last place kid in the race. All a set up, all a scam.
Because Putin is too smart for them. There wasn’t any deal where they could make a fortune, or come out smelling like a rose. Putin is no fool!
Trump has been 100% correct on everything he said. Even the 16 other primary adversaries copied trumps ideas. Now Hillary is copying Trump’s stuff. Can’t any of these cockroaches come up with anything on their own? Most of the Republican congressmen running for re-election are turning on Trump because that fear losing their positions. Well I have news for them. Myself and many millions of us just decided not to vote for these RINO cockroaches. They can go to hell and if we have to let the Democrats in, then so be it. I have noticed we are now attacking ISIS. What a coincidence! Must be some elections going on. Obama has said today that Trump is not fit to be president. But Hillary is, after all the crimes she has committed? Obama himself was a total failure. The only thing he could do OK was kiss the Saudi ring. He has rejected all of our allies and armed our enemies!
You cannot trust the Marxist/Democrats as not for years ago Obama was selling America down the drain to pu you cannot trust the Marxist/Democrats as not for years ago Obama was selling America down the drain to Putin, telling him he was going to get rid of our nuclear arms on his second time wrong and that should’ve told you the election was fixed. You can’t trust one of those Democrats as far as you can from there nothing but treasonous, immoral atheist scum. And you wonder why they want your guns America ? Band together now with people who are like you as a B a time when you need to stay in for one another when Obama sends or Hitlary , sends the SS brownshirts ,called the agencies against you, trying to enforce illegal and unconstitutional laws which gives you the right to protect yourself from these SS agents.
The democrats are probably afraid that someone will find out they are getting campaign fund from Russia.
We have diplomacy with Russia! Remember the RESET??? We gave them Crimea, half of the Ukraine and turned Syria over to them and in doing so gave the control over much of the Middle East! Why would anybody want a Demon Rat to ever make a “deal” for us again????? I think they are afraid of the exposure of the details such as the 400000000 “Swiss Franks” paid to Jarrett’s buddies in Iran to release 4 hostages that should have been released BEFORE even discussing their nuke deal! Some day soon we are ALL going to see the results of this naive stupids treasonous Posers “deals” and now with Killary looking more and more like the new DICK tator it is just getting warmed up!!!
THE DEMOCRATS DONT WANT THIS TO B A STRONG NATION AGAIN..THATS WHY PUTIN DOES NOT LIKE GAY OBAMA….PUTIN LIKES TRUMP….HE WANTS TO JOIN US TO MAKE US THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD AFTER TRUMP BECOMES PRESIDENT…
All the Democrats have to do is wait as Trump is giving it to her for free. Gull disclosure is that I am a life time Repub but he is screwing the country if he doesn’t stop his bullshite
Waite a minute? Isn’t it Trump that wants to work WITH the Russians to rid the world of Islamist Terrorists? — And the RINO/Democrat elite establishment that condemns him for it?
Can someone get their story straight and stick to it?
Here is what I have been saying for months and months.
Trump for the White House Clinton for the BIG house.
World Peace is a bumper sticker but obtaining it takes hard work.. talk is cheap but actions speak louder. To get a Nobel prize for talking rather than doing is a slap in the face to all those that won it before. Its value has lost its luster. It is amazing how the portrays Mr. Trump and not a word about Hillary. Shameful and they don’t even hide their views any longer. The press is suppose to be looking out for the people – that is no longer the case. Sad
Because Russia also has another CORRUPT, LIAR, FRAUD Donald Trump as their leader, who is looking for money in every step he takes and dose not want to see the any human is in peace.
imagine russian troops in mexico…and you might have some understanding of putin’s actions…russia suffers from a well-deserved paranoia..due to the many times it’s been invaded…time to take that into account and open a fresh dialogue!…
If did not know better. I think Trump is reading my mind. I think of Russia as friend for peace. Russia is they largest country in the world. With all of the natural resources in Russia. How can we go wrong. I would much rather deal with Putin then the middle east. Were you are hanged in your own front yard if you do not act right.
