He’d have to read it or hear about it first, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.
That’s very stupid of Putin. It is unwise to copy stupid things.
Does Trump own or hold share in any businesses that specialize in making large underground self-contained vault-like structures? I’m asking for a friend.
No. The Republicans would excuse him if he sold Alaska back to the Russians for $10 and a promise to let him build hotels in Moscow.
The Republicans have sold the country out at this point. They are willingly in cahoots with a hostile foreign government, all because it benefits their party and power.
Good NY Times attempt to parse it here. (Three possibilities are suggested for each word or phrase).
Of all the dangerously stupid things this idiot has said he will do, expanding and accelerating US nuclear capability – and so re-igniting the global nuclear weapons race and threat of horrific war – is the most dangerously stupid (so far).
We need to keep up with the Russians & Chinese (At a minimum )
See, Putin already has Trump eating out of his hand. Good job Pooty, right on schedule. The deed to the White house is in the mail.
Yes, if you’re talking about the economy, infrastructure, investment in education and research.
But if you’ve talking about getting more nuclear weapons so we can destroy the entire world 5 times instead of 4 times?
No.
This is just fucking insane.
That letter from Putin to Trump seems designed to flatter him while saying little of substance.
It’s political puppet theater. Putin is putting on the surgical rubber glove and lubing it just so before shoving his arm up Trump’s ass.
I think it’s a waste of time to even attempt to parse anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth-hole.
It is simply whatever half-assed idea happened to form in his tiny child-like brain. He’ll have forgotten it 10 minutes later. There is literally NO THOUGHT WHATSOEVER put into these little teenaged twitter-fests.
In a few months, his blather will simply be ignored, at least by the adults in other countries.
And this is *exactly *how you influence the Trump-boy
…is what I’m saying.
Except that it shouldn’t be ignored, but called out for exactly what it is - imbecilic twaddle. Otherwise we continue to burn news cycles listening to the tortured non-explanations by his surrogates who don’t know any better than to just hide their faces in shame.
America should not rely on weapons conceived in the 60s and built in the 70s & 80s , if you thin this is insane look at what Russia & the Chinese are doing in ICBM technology …
Hypothetical situation: In a nuclear war, is the winner the country with the biggest bombs, the most bombs, the one who fires first, or some combination of the three?
The Top Dog sleeps easiest .
The Nobel committee has announced that president-elect trump is this years winner of the “Screw Peace” prize.
In a press statement they said that they recognize that awarding this prize to a man who hasn’t even taken office yet is an “unusual step” but added, “Hey, we might not get the chance later.”
Previous winners include Adolf Hitler, Henry Kissinger, Osama Bin Laden, and George W. Bush.
I’m really hoping he’s more clever than he appears.
He could hardly be less clever than he appears, to be sure.
