Donald Trump: The Softening.

You're probably right there. It may seem wrong but I think Putin would be a good ally to have. I see the enemy now as the globalists. Europe is a nightmare.
Completely agree regarding Putin/Russia. They're other big kid on the block, and more aggressive / less predictable / more mischievous. Sure, we could kick their ass, and I honestly believe we could should it come to that, but we'd also get pretty bloodied in the process. It may not be emotionally satisfying, but we need to keep on good terms with them.

Europe is learning that being "too nice" doesn't work, and they need to figure that out. I still support them, in general, though.

Putin's just another expansionist Russian wolf in a different wolf's clothing. He's as much a threat to democracy as the soviets were. This is crazy talk.

And I don't disagree with this, either. Note that I did NOT say "appease", especially as a blanket policy, or anything remotely close to that.

blaxshep used the word "ally." You wrote "Completely agree regarding Putin/Russia." That's why responded to your comment. Thanks for clarifying.

I didn't take his use of the term "ally" too literally. We were "allies" in WW2, but it was really only a matter of self-preservation and convenience for both of us. I kind of see the same thing now, only not as immediately drastic.

That still seems a bit too chummy to me but I can see where our interests coincide with terrorism (and maybe still with China). But Putin's still a very dangerous man.

That is the problem with the globalist liberals they think they are going to build a utopia. In reality they are ultimately building a global Fascist state. For some misguided reason they think they can tear down all the boarders and centralize Sovereignty into some glorious 4th Reich run by Merkel, Soros, Hillary and their ilk. As if a 20% of the global population can support the other 80% when as it is all the countries are going so far into debt its begun to exceed their GDP. So yes I see America and Russia and England since Brexit, as a few of the last bastions of free nations that need to align themselves to resist this agenda.
 
Tranlation: HRC actually has policies and sticks to them. Damn her for that.


Your basis of support for that jackass is that he doesn't know ****, doesn't have a clue what his own rhetoric involves and will turn on a dime every other minute?
Moderate, my ass.

Did you go to school? Can you communicate with others on a debate site without resorting to the name-calling and cursing I heard in junior high? Perhaps not. But it takes the wind out of your arguments, such as they are. And you need all the help you can get.

Your welcome.

This from the guy who said he'd rather vote for Hitler rather than Clinton and thinks Putin would be a great ally. Sometimes I think people like this have extreme short term memory loss--at least that would be the kindest way of looking at them.

I'll take that weak, whiny sauce as evidence that you've got nothing. But then again you started out with nothing so you're even with the House. But this is not the place for people who have to get prissy in order to avoid having an argument.

You'll learn. If you're lucky. This isn't an ARGUMENT site. Enough of you. No derailing. Done.

There's no legit reason to act like that.

I had to put him on my ignore list with Haymarket. Neither one debates anything they just use "biblical logic", you know the kind of logic that can't be reasoned with.

The only reason to whine about my choice of words to describe the horrible person she supports is that the whiner has nothing else.

What makes you think you get to decide what this site is for? Do you even know the meaning of argument. This site has the word debate in it, does it not? The basis of debate is argument. One side's argument vs. the other. If you're not mature enough to know that I can't help you and if all you're going to do is cry, can't you take is somewhere else?
