What do Trump Supporters think about his Putin Obsession?

Oh. Root of Jesse. I get it now

Except that you don't know me, like I know Politico. I've read enough of them to know where they stand, and what their perspective is. You, on the other hand, don't know me, except for my participation here.

Great advice! Any chance we could get you a time machine and send you back to the start of the Obama administration? I’m curious as to why these little rules about civility and experience are only kicking in now.

Incidentally, Trump has no foreign policy experience before getting the POTUS job, so really there is little difference between Joe Schmoe criticising him and a policy wonk.....

Neither did Obama, which is why they hire Sec of State.

...having said that, I’m a student of security studies and can confirm the guy is a clown, most who are more experienced than me think he’s a clown and is needlessly destabilising things.

I think having a year’s study of this under my belt puts my foreign policy experience well above Trump’s when he took office, wouldn’t you say?

Think much of yourself?

(I don’t mean to belabour the point, but I saw the clash over what “denuclearisation” meant with DPRK coming a mile away, and if a guy with half a policy masters could see this coming, his admin has no excuse whatsoever for failing to avoid it).

Well, to be fair, so has every president that's tried. It'll get ironed out, or they will still be under sanctions, and this president will call out countries that do business with them.

The irony!

Gadarene said:

So it doesn’t matter about whether you have experience in the field, we are still back to trite analogies.

Chess is a game with rules. And a guy who tries to play it like checkers is failing to play it properly. Geopolitics is similar.



I could do precisely nothing and it would be more useful.

No president has the experience necessary to be president. None of them.

Oh, I see....chess.

Like the chess game he played with Mexico to have them pay for ‘The Wall’.................oh, wait...

Like the chess game he played with immigrants in snatching their children..........oh, wait.....

Like the chess game he played with Kim Jong Un to get him to stop producing nuclear weapons.......oh, wait.....

Chess master.....no doubt...

You should follow your advice. Them games ain't over...

Russia is the obsession of Democrat leaders and the leftstream media because they blame Russia for Hillary Clinton's loss and are still angry that they lost in 2016.

Allandavid said:

To Kaon and other Trumpers, please answer these questions....there are others, but these are top of mind for me at the moment.

1. Despite the findings of all of the US security and military organisations that the interference in your last election was the work of the Russians, at the behest of Putin, Trump continues to push Putin’s line that he had nothing to do with it........why?

Click to expand...

Because there's no proof that it happened.

2. Trump continually calls for the destruction of NATO, a move which primarily (solely?) benefits Russia....why?

Click to expand...

That's not what he calls for. He calls for them to pay up.

3. When has Trump ever strongly protested Russia’s illegal occupation of the Crimea? Why has he not?

Click to expand...

Same question to Obama.

4. Most of Trump’s meetings/conversations with Putin have been only known to the public because the Russian administration have announced them. Why?

Click to expand...

Because they were inconsequential to the Trumps.

Allandavid said:

5. Every single member of Trump’s administration has sworn in the past that they have had NO connection or contact with Russian operatives,
Russia
Russia”.....why?

Click to expand...

No Russian connection found to date.
Trump doesn't know Putin.

They will be meeting in a few days.
Let's hope they get along.
A lots riding on it.

Not really, nothing I said there was incorrect.

None of which proves that Trump had anything to do with it. Note: I didn't mean that Russia didn't try to interfere, but as your fearless leader Obama said during the campaign, Russia couldn't have any effect. So get over it.

Wrong. He has called for the dismantling of NATO, a strategy that only benefits his Russian handlers...

Click to expand...

You guys always seem to take Trump's first statement as final, and it almost never is. It's called negotiation.

Oh, you mean the Obama who actually imposed sanctions on the Russians for their occupation.....that guy..!?

Click to expand...

But knew that Russia was trying to hack into American information systems and did nothing about it? That guy???

But NOT inconsequential to the American people he serves...! He isn’t a king you know...?

That hasn't been proven, either.

Clinton or Obama supporter and atheist. Much wronger.

Your god doesn’t exist, and frankly anyone here supporting Trump should take their Christian identification down.

Morality from someone who doesn't believe in morals? Riiiight. We don't elect choir boys to be the leader of the free world, just ask Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton (I don't care which one), or Obama, for whom we don't know what religion he is. The only thing that matters is that they talk straight.
And I know my God exists.

What Trump has said is that if NATO is to have a future, other countries must match the US in military spending.

They already are.
You watch too much of FOX
And I feel sorry for you because of it
