My fantasy idea of moving to the Caribbean for a few months/years while Hurricane Donnie blows over is sounding more and more appealing.

knapplc Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Please tell me this isn't true. Please tell me saner heads in Israel will prevail. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) Yeah....this is a great idea. I’m sure this won’t be a terrorism target. Sorry...didn’t see Knapp already posted this. So, we have Israel naming things after Trump and his top advisor supporting antisemetic candidates. What am I not understanding?

zoogs Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 https://newrepublic.com/article/146459/america-not-retreat-its-rogue-superpower?utm_content=bufferfad8d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Quote The U.S. is not in retreat under Trump. Rather, it is following a much more dangerous course: eschewing diplomacy, forswearing ideals of democracy and human rights, disdaining its own allies, and cozying up to autocrats—all while trying to retain its hegemonic power through military might alone. Trump’s America is a rogue superpower. The narrative of a withdrawn America ignores the crucial fact that Trump is making the United States much more aggressive abroad. Trump has raised the specter of nuclear war with North Korea, threatening to rain down “fire and fury.” As Newsweek reported, “U.S. air strikes aimed at countering extremist organizations in Africa and the Middle East more than doubled under President Donald Trump.” The Trump administration has also approved arms sales to the Ukraine, a move likely to provoke Russia. Trump is also escalating on the ground in Afghanistan, where he is sending thousands more troops. The intractability of the Afghan problem has led Trump to initiate a war of wordswith the government of Pakistan, a longstanding American ally: 1 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Trump pulling the tiger's tail may come back and bite us. As he takes are harder line wt China on trade, China is taking a hard look at suspending and lowering the value of US Sovereign debt that they purchase from us. As the largest holder of our debt this is no small deal. Markets will and are reacting accordingly as it down 100 points in early trading today. The 4% GDP growth predicted by JP Morgan's Dimon (2nd link) may find a considerable chain and ball attached to it if China plays hardball. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/10/china-is-reportedly-thinking-of-halting-us-treasury-purchases.html https://www.marketwatch.com/story/dimon-thinks-economists-are-dead-wrong-about-gdp-predicts-4-us-growth-2018-01-09 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 To BRB's post above about Trump not going to London, it is reinforced by this article I saw this morning. I find it discussing that he blames Obama for the Embassy decision when it was clearly made prior to Obama. The guy who talks tough isn't a tough guy at all - he's not going because of the protests. And then he blames others. https://www.newsmax.com/headline/trump-cancels-london-obama/2018/01/12/id/836731/ Quote The move was announced in 2008, before President Barack Obama was elected. At the time, U.S. Ambassador Robert Tuttle said the decision to move to the five-acre site on the south side of the River Thames came after a "long and careful process." Quote "He has been to countries all over the world and yet he has not been to the one with whom he is closest," former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, a Trump ally, told the BBC. "I would say that it's disappointing. But maybe Sadiq Khan, Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party planning mass protests, maybe those optics he didn't like the look of." "It appears that President Trump got the message from the many Londoners who love and admire America and Americans but find his policies and actions the polar opposite of our city's values of inclusion, diversity and tolerance," Khan said. "His visit next month would without doubt have been met by mass peaceful protests." 1 Link to comment
