Discussion: Trump Signals Possibility Of Dropping Russia Sanctions Imposed After Election

Obviously, Comrade Trump wants to do a 180 on US -Russia relations. He is rewriting the book. Questions is: will 70 years of history be rewritten and should it?

And yet Obama has continually been accused of bowing to foreign countries.

Trump, of course, wasn’t really parodying groveling when he imitated the disabled reporter. But he is doing a first-rate impression of it now. So perfect, in fact, that it’s real.

But … but … but Rex said he hasn’t discussed it and, because he’s no longer CEO of Exxon-Mobil, essentially has no knowledge of such things.

If you can’t trust the former head of a multi-national who is perfectly willing to forsake every country on the planet and doesn’t give a shit about anything but his company’s bottom line, who can you trust?

A. On the Taiwan Lobbyist (Bob Dole) engineered phone call

"First of all it would have been very rude not to accept the phone call.”

Because as his Presidential campaign and performance at all of the debates showed us, Donald Trump truly gives a shit about being very rude to any and everyone.

And who else is involved in this little scheme, I wonder.
Dick Cheney, perhaps?

You can’t make this shit up.

Article III, Section 3 of the Constitution defines Treason: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”

This is where the popular phrase among conservatives of ‘giving aid and comfort to our enemies’ comes from.

When will serious people start using the “T” word with Trump?

Just a two letter change from USA to USSR. Maybe I should start learning Russian now?

Mind blowing that Republicans, those happy Cold War warriors, don’t care.

What most commentators, including TPM, miss is that Trump’s victory is one of the right wing crowd that has long seen Communist China as the main enemy, that has wanted to go to “war with Communism” and overthrow its main remaining bastion. In the mainstream view, such as Hillary Clinton’s, Russia is the major imperialist rival and worth going to war over, something she made no bones about, while the idea is that China will weaken itself over time via capitalist measures and their pitfalls and popular unrest - or that’s the hope, the strategy. Josh Marshall and his TPM railing on endlessly about Trump and Russia shows it doesn’t have a clue about the import of the change occurring right in front of its nose.

Are you saying that Trump wants to go to war with China?

That would definitely destroy our economy.
