WTH? He’s all about the military and arms these days. Gotta keep those (non-existent) arms sales with SA fresh, and let’s start another (nuclear!) arms race while we’re at it?

All while praising the worst examples of authoritarian leaders around the world, Putin, Kim, Duterte, MBS, Netanyahu… all craven, corrupt, power-hungry fascistic authoritarians. All the while castigating the best of them, Trudeau, Macron, et al…

And rally rally rally. The ONLY other “leaders” in modern history that continuously rallied like Trump does are the dictators, fascists, and mass murderers of that history in the run-up to taking complete control of their respective countries…!!!

We are at the threshold of a very slippery slope.

Idiot says Russia is violating treaty so 86 the treaty and just like that, no more violation.

Meanwhile back in the part of the world where actual governments plan for the future, China which was not in violation as doofus falsely charged, decided years ago to not develop first strike capability which would only be suicidal if used. They have enough thermonuclear capability to deter or destroy any nation foolish enough to launch on them or their ahem, allies.

Strategically, they are better served with building infrastructure to support their growing economy, while trumpski and putin repeat the lesson that bankrupted the USSR not that long ago. Militarily they refrain from empire building for the time being and concentrate on modernizing the nation to meet whatever future unfolds. That nation includes respect for the people and their health. That wisdom is lost on republicans in general and putin’s puppet.

How much of this is to feed the Military Industrial Complex?

“Once the United States withdraws from the treaty, there is no reason for Russia to even pretend it is observing the limits,” he wrote in a post on the organization’s website. “Moscow will be free to deploy the 9M729 cruise missile, and an intermediate-range ballistic missile if it wants, without any restraint.”

So Trump takes a totally unprecedented action that gives Russia what it wants, alienates our allies, and gives no benefit whatsoever to the US (since we already have sea- and air-launched cruise missiles which aren’t covered by the treaty). Funny how that keeps happening. Soooo weird.

Moron has no idea we were warned of this by Eisenhower in 1961. Most likely he doesn’t know who Eisenhower was either. But in any case, we can’t say we weren’t warned about making war by the Allied Supreme Commander who knew something about making war and its consequences.

Saddest thing – because he is old enough to have heard about it in school, just like many of us did when Ike said it. The moron is so vacuous that he never paid attention to the ordinary lessons the rest of us got growing up, so now he’s bumbling along with the only thing he knows (“how can I make money here?”) while the rest of us have to worry about his lack of character and knowledge.

What the Fox viewers will be told: Trumpp stopped the nuclear war that Obama and Clinton made inevitable. “they said it couldn’t be done, but I did it.”

I don’t expect Jill “Hillary is more dangerous than Trump” Stein to apologize.

She’s more likely to say: “mission accomplished.”

The trade war wasn’t going well and, in any case, was not wagging the dog nearly hard enough so Benedict Donald decides to kick it a few notches to Defcon 2.

Memories of his days under the school desk during drill may be mixed in what remains of his degraded brain but he knows people will pay attention to this and that’s enough it appears.

And look who’s sitting to Putin’s right.

But Donald, that’s your buddy Putin you’re talking about. I thought he was a great guy, not a cheating, lying backstabber. Which is it?
