TGHusker Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/sen-lindsey-graham-i-want-more-american-troops-5000-or-6000-ground-Syria Lindsey Graham and John McCain two birds of a feather. I'm getting so tired of them. Good think McCain wasn't elected in 2008. He probably would have made Grahmam Sec of Def and who knows how many wars we'd be in today. The problem is I think Trump is starting to listen to them and other neocons like them. Quote Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says ISIS is a “direct threat to the homeland” and he says the United States should send many more troops to eradicate that threat. “So you need more American troops to accelerate the demise of ISIL,” Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press” with Chuck Todd. “We're relying too much on the Kurds. More armed forces, 5,000 or 6,000, would attract more regional fighters to destroy ISIL. “You need a safe haven quickly, so people can regroup inside of Syria. Then you train the opposition to go after Assad. That's how he's taken out by his own people with our efforts. And you tell the Russians if you continue to bomb the people we train, we'll shoot you down.” Link to comment
TGHusker Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 And with the above post we got North Korea to think about http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/mcmaster-trump-has-asked-full-range-options-remove-north-Korean President Trump has asked his national security team to provide “a full range of options to remove” the threat posed by the North Korean regime to the U.S. and its allies, national security advisor H.R. McMaster said Sunday, a day after U.S. Pacific Command directed an aircraft carrier strike group to the region. Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 AFTER MEETING WITH TRUMP, CHINA MAY OFFER TO DROP 13-YEAR BAN ON U.S. BEEF Chinese officials who spoke to the Financial Times said that President Xi Jinping is offering to lift China’s 13-year-long ban on U.S. beef and buy more American grain and agricultural products. That comes alongside an offer to increase the stake that American financial firms can hold in Chinese insurance and financial asset companies. ----- Sounds like a good start to US-China economic relations under Trump.

knapplc Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's a continuation of the groundwork laid by the Obama Administration. From that Newsweek article: Yet these agreements were in the works before Trump and Xi met. Following negotiations with President Barack Obama, China was already prepared to open up to more investment from American financial firms, a Chinese official involved in the Florida summit told the FT. “Had Obama been in office for another six months we would have gotten there,” they said. China had already begun rolling back its December 2003 ban on some U.S. beef products last September. However, The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association pointed out to Trump in a March 27 letter that American beef is still blocked since the terms of their access to the Chinese market haven’t been ironed out yet. The most concrete thing to have emerged from the meeting so far is Trump’s agreement to make a state visit to China in 2017. 2 Link to comment

And this means that US-China economic relations are not off to a good start under Trump? Link to comment

TGHusker Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hey we need to roll out that old commercial: Where's the Beef? We can say in China - instead of (Do they eat horse there ) Link to comment

Apathy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 This is too good not to share and notice how she tries to spin this back at Trump and his travel ban. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utEe1LLdB3k 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That was a stupid attempt by the CNN anchor to bring Clinton into that. What the heck was she thinking? 1 Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Basically what that tweet is saying is Trump and his supporters are the same people! Pump it up when it's good for you to do so, completely discredit and invalidate it when that is better for you Link to comment
NM11046 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Basically what that says is ~60% of people have a problem w/Obama no matter what. Same action by their tiny handed orange leader is praised wheras they would have questioned it if his predecessor had done the same thing. Very indicative of what seems to continuously pop up when talking about what our past liberal, black president did or didnt do. 1 Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 It has some to do with Obama's race, but more to do with his party. Obama would have been liked by many more of those people if he had been a Republican. See: Ben Carson. 1 Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That shows you how much that base cares about the issues...very little! Liberals are evil, conservatives are good God fearing people and America is better with a rich old white man in charge! 1 Link to comment
