Trump's refusal to accept intelligence briefing on Russia stuns experts

And what is Trump's policy on using the military?

That's one one of Trump's redeeming features, IMO.

He often has ideas I can relate to, but I find dealing with him impossible. His negatives are in excess of his positives.

We are not in full-scale war with Russia (yet)...

Now why in the world Donald Trump need a briefing on Russia?

He already knows all he needs to know. In fact I am sure he has boasted "I like Russians, I have Russian friends! Russians work for me? So what more "briefing" does he need? It's not even as taxing as race relations and Trump has the answer there: "I like Mexicans, and blacks. I have black friends" So that settles it.


The Donald don't need no stinkin' briefing to handle Russia

This year has me rethinking everything I believed to be true about keeping my various accounts secure. I believed that if I had very long passwords made of randomized characters that even a super computer couldn't break in under a hundred years I'd be safe. (There are multiple websites that will gauge the security of your passwords). Now I'm wondering about that.

This is like back in the day when people were running zone alarm and tryi to keep their stuff safe.
The fact is now unless every site is running 256 or 512 bit encryption it is possible to get hacked.

Never keep any saved passwords on your PC.
If someone wants to get through your stuff they can.

It could be goddamn Anonymous even - they've been railing against govt corruption for a long time, and it would make sense for Wikileaks to tie up with them early on. Sharper US-Russian tensions are only more recent.

Not sure if they will deliver but it demonstrates their opinion of the Clintons.

Vladmir Putin is one of the single greatest threats in the world right now. If elected president, Trump would become THE single greatest threat.

No we're not. The U.S. trained, funded, and equipped terrorists are fighting Syria and Russia.

I know more than the government professionals on health insurance. Furthermore when the government professional have been consistently wrong about foreign policy for the past 30 years then they have no credibility anyway. After all, Bush thought the Sunni and Shiah would be honky dory in Iraq based on the input of foreign policy professionals. And we saw how that turned out. Foreign policy professionals advised Hillary to have no plan for how to stablize Libya after Gaddafi was ousted. And you saw how that turned out. Foreign policy professionals are telling Obama to arm and train terrorists in Syria and well: US CONTINUES TO MAKE SAME MISTAKES OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN SYRIA BASED ON THE ADVISE OF FOREIGN POLICY PROFESSIONALS.

Trump's not listening to those clowns? GOOD!

Fight wars smartly. Whoah. That's just some brilliant advice there!

Trump is another Sun Tzu :lamo

And yet it's leaps and bounds better than how we've been doing it. It's remarkable that basic common sense when it comes to foreign engagements is so alien that it gets derided but that's how backwards the U.S. foreign policy is at this point.

But a RINO clown is listening to Trump. The RINO clown won't be a very happy RINO clown come November 9 :cry:
 
I wouldn't trust any more than 10% of what the intelligence community reported.

100% of their analysis is couched in agenda and keeping the gears hidden and running.

Ooh, I've got one: only buy stocks that go up. Sell them before they go down.

Fighting Russia, aligning with AlNusra(AlQaeda)?
There are no choirboys on that battlefield, all the civilians are fleeing, only the die-hards remain.

He even knows more than the generals do. He said so. And his supporters wept and cheered at the words of this god-like man.
