Trump's UK Visit

[Maddog]

"Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida. You said Russia ... the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years,"


Who was the clever fella that said this?

I don't think Russia has changed one bit, but the opinions of the left and the right in terms of Russia sure have flip flopped.

No doubt there are plenty of Ukranians that could probably confirm what sort of things the Russians are up to, yet quite a few folks thought it was just due to some active imaginations a few years ago.

Anyway, there is no doubt the Russians want to cause instability in the US, through the use of propaganda and revealing of confidential emails. I don't think they actually thought Trump would win, but they were counting on a very disliked and untrusted Hillary winning, with a Republican congress and fanatic Trump supporters sure that a criminal had stolen the election. Trump's victory is just a little icing on the cake. Impeachment hearings would add another layer of icing on that cake. No doubt Trump is making it easy for Putin.

Anyway, it's exciting times in the land of the sorta free.

Russia did not invade Ukraine.
I speak often to a lady married to a Ukrainian.
He's there she's here.
The people of the Ukraine don't want American or EU meddling in their country.

Never said Russia invaded the Ukraine. They didn't steal any emails either. Putin said so yesterday.

Nothing shameful about claiming what you're entitled to.

Don't say that on here Mac!

Dogs; home of the world's most honourable men and most virtuous women.

You said it!!

Why the fuck would you join a forum such as this if you were the pinnacle of virtue - the milk of ambrosia, etc....

I am the exception of course, but when I joined it was classy joint.

Hey! Don't forget about me!

They've fucked it up somewhat already all on their own.

Ukraine won't be joining the EU either soon, as it's not a free country and has somewhere to go before it meets EU criteria.

The US is eroding democracy. Russia and China are continuing their interference.

A very long article, but IMO important to read.

Seems like Putin is running the world atm, or is that what Trump wants him to believe?

In case you didn't catch it, here's Trump's 'message on Brexit'. Unbelievable. If you did catch it first time round it's still worth a replay.

Nothing is unbelievable for this prick.

Yet his followerrs will still support him in whatever he does.

He could murder, roast and eat a newborn baby live on air and they would find an excuse to justify it or call it fake news - including the pro-lifers.

the fallout of the Trump tariffs may include job losses for hundreds of thousands of American workers.

On Monday, the stock market plunged, with a broad selloff in tech stocks and the Dow dropping over 300 points. The iconically American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson also said on Monday it was moving some production operations overseas. And word spread that a Missouri nail manufacturer named Mid-Continent Nail just laid off 60 workers and could be out of business by the end of the summer.

The Trump trade war has been blamed for all of the events above. What’s more, a wide range of analysts and studies shows that the Trump tariffs are likely to kill the jobs of many more American workers, either because protectionist trade policies push companies to shift jobs overseas or because companies are forced to eliminate jobs entirely after finding they can no longer compete in the global marketplace.

Just when you think Trump couldn't be a bigger fuckwitted bawbag than he already is, he comes out with this.

Trump-Putin summit: US president reverses remark on Russia meddling.

"In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word 'would' instead of 'wouldn't," he said
"The sentence should have been: 'I don't see any reason why I wouldn't' or 'why it wouldn't be Russia'. Sort of a double negative."

He makes Baby Bush look like Abraham fucking Lincoln - the Founding Fathers (many of whom were extremely intelligent scientific men and atheists in all but name) must be spinning in their graves.

Na, they would have turned in their graves when the slaves where freed and women where alowed to swear oaths.

And the Ukrain owes between $3-6 billion in oil revinue to Russia. Hence the reason the two pipelines to the north of germany.

As for Crimea, what is Britains interest there? Oh, the southern pipeline.

It should be noted that 5 years ago the Ukraine was actually doing well. Very low foreign debt. Infrastructure was improoving capital was flowing in. Investment oportunities whe abound.

Aint it crazy. When Sanders talked about doing this stuff, many of the Dems cheered and the Reps laughed.

Now it's just the opposite.

Coming from you, I'm not entirely sure "there" is anywhere I want to be, but thanks anyway.
