Trump Foreign Policy

[BigRedBuster]

We were warned long ago that this is all part of Putin's plan.

Yeah....America First!!!!

[BigRedBuster]

Ouch.

 

 

 

Soooo.....just to keep score, both Israel and the UK have decreased the amount of intelligence they are willing to give us because of the administration.

 

What's the big deal????....it's only our two biggest allies.

I didn't think it was possible for me to hate him more, but I do every day. What an embarrassment. And you're right - there will be those who think this was great.

Pride goes before the fall. (speaking of Trump & what he displays in this video not you Knapp)

 

Part of Proverbs 16

18Pride goes before destruction,

a haughty spirit before a fall.

19Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed

than to share plunder with the proud.

20Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers,^a

and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.

I guess I should've been more specific.

 

They're all in the middle, underneath the blond toupee.

Swing and a miss for the DOD.

A bipartisan pair of lawmakers is calling on the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to hold a hearing on a planned sale of precision-guided munitions kits to Saudi Arabia.

...

 

“The possession of precision-guided weapons should not be conflated with possessing dynamic targeting capabilities; the ability to strike an enemy and avoid civilian casualties requires extensive training, stringent targeting approval processes and clear rules of engagement,” Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) wrote to Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.) on Thursday.

Of course, the United States currently occupies a glass house when it comes to civilian casualties: https://www.vox.com/world/2017/5/26/15701262/trumps-civilian-mosul-iraq-syria-mayadin

 

“I would bomb the sh#t out of them”

Aww, was it a fun golf ride, little Donald? Did you go "wheeee!" bigly? Did you reconsider your hesitation on being the only holdout in the G7 to Paris treaty commitments?

 

President Trump chose to ride in a golf cart while his foreign counterparts took a walk through Taormina, Sicilly on Saturday during the Group of 7 (G7) summit.

 

The Times of London reported the six other world leaders - from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan - walked 700 yards to take a group photo at a piazza in a hilltop town. The U.S. leader decided to wait until he could get a golf cart.

 

Trump was late for the photo, but joined the other world leaders during the walk down from the piazza.

Good summary/analysis of competing interpretations from the Post and the Times on the Kushner story, with an appeal to view this again through a policy lens.

 

On May 24, Trump’s national security advisors — who, with Flynn gone, overwhelmingly have conventional American views on Russia and NATO — gave the New York Times a heads-up that Trump’s speech at the NATO conference in Brussels would affirm his commitment to the alliance’s core guarantee of collective security.

 

Then when it came time to give the speech, Trump didn’t do that.

 

…[these] advisors believed they had talked Trump into making a public affirmation of this and then he refused to do it.

 

To undermine NATO in this way has, of course, been a core goal of Russian (and, earlier, Soviet) foreign policy as long as NATO has existed. And through all the ups and downs of the Cold War and post-Cold War eras, Russia has never scored a success on that front as striking as Donald Trump’s elevation to the presidency and his continued refusal to affirm that the United States will defend its allies.

There’s a lot of ‘winning’ going around. Most of it to Russia. Good job, guys.

 

Let's maybe not vote for Massive Unforced Error in our next election.

He continues to give his current "advisors" and staff members reason to leak. Keep it up Donnie.
