By the time I'm able to do so often times the posts have moved to the archives. <br /><br />One of the more ridiculous criticisms of Mr. Trump has been that he is unstable and if elected and had access to the nuclear launch codes civilization would end. Actually by making it clear to "allies" that they are not to do anything that would harm our interests if they expect us to come to their aid is common sense. In other words, don't be stupid. This means we will be less likely not more likely to get pulled into something that would lead to a nuclear launch. Additionally, if "allies" are expected to shoulder more of the burden, they now have more skin in the "game" and will be far more circumspect in what they do. As it is right now, should war with Russia break out it would be America and not these "allies" who would bear the brunt of a Russian reprisal. Once it starts to cost them something for this aid, they will be much more appreciative of it. Again, the risks of a nuclear launch become less likely not more likely.<br /><br />In contrast, it seems to be Mrs. Clinton who has substantial interest in interfering with Russian actions in places like Ukraine and Syria. In the case of Ukraine, there is no American interests here. In the case of Syria, it would be best for us to either not interfere or to assist the Russians here. As such, she seems to be unstable one who should not be trusted with the launch codes not Mr. Trump.

"...Trump is sending a message to the world...<br /><br />"Don't get an alliance with us, cause it's not worth it and we won't honor it..."<br /><br />Is that the kind of message Trump wants to give?

An Uber macho business person. Take no prisoners. Morality is for little people.<br /><br />Those who work with developers in the U.S. know that they are ruthless and mostly heartless. They see themselves as above common people and what they say or do is right because they said or did it.<br /><br />Reading deep thoughts and intentions into a person who has no foreign or domestic policy experience is like wondering what a dog is thinking when they do something you do not like. Did they plan it? Are they sending a message? <br /><br />Developers are not subtle. They use any ploy necessary to reach their goals. They have little experience with former KGB people who are playing world games using nukes, conventional weapons, spies and such to reach their short and long term goals.<br /><br />They make money and build things. They do not know how to govern and they do not understand realpolitik.<br /><br />So, if think that Trump the developer somehow brings gravitas and knowledge of how to govern, then I have a bridge or two for you.<br /><br />Then again, Trump might just buy that bridge and put up condos with other peoples money.<br /><br />A felon who cannot meet standards to receive a security clearance and a developer who uses the "hated" tax code to make millions. Not much choice for U.S. citizens.<br /><br />We serve the State.<br /><br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-71064421916751925562016-07-21T18:20:44.346-04:002016-07-21T18:20:44.346-04:00A lot of what Trump says (and a lot of other polit...A lot of what Trump says (and a lot of other politicians say as well) should probably be considered less in terms of straightforward pledges and more in terms of trying to shape the conversation in a favourable direction.
