Trump is just calling out Putin on his empty threat. Russia does not want an arms race. The economy is just a fraction of what they used to be and a fraction of what the US can muster.

Instead of past administrations hearing Russia's threats and thinking we needed to give them some concession to make them happy, Trump basically said "go ahead, see how an arms race will work for you in the long run"

Makes me nervous, it really should make everyone nervous. I hope I was right Election Day and Trump doesn't want to poke the bear and this is just political theatre on both sides.

Putin was just saber rattling and trump is calling him out on it.

Russia has a $1.33 Trillion GDP vs the US GDP of $17.95 Trillin. Any arms race will be over before it starts

As a poker player you need to know when to call someone on their bluff, and it is always easier to call bluff when you are holding all the cards....

The thing is, he has both China and Russia off-balance. This is especially good insofar as China is concerned. They saw us distancing from them and getting close to Russia. That makes them more wary and dangerous. Now, they see a tough stance against Russia and aren't sure what's going on. They begin to think they can negotiate for a better edge. This is classic Trump. He plays to win and plays everyone against each other, with him ultimately winning in 3D chess style.


You seem really smart.

Now that I think about it, the overwhelming sentiment on this forum was that HRC was a huge problem because she was ratcheting up tensions with the Russians and noone wanted war with them.

On the flip side, Trump was a master statesman because he was warming relations and Putin is a great guy.

...........but now, Trump literally says "let it be a nuclear arms race!" and we love it. Im just trying to get my Trumpkin talking points ready so I can MAGA today.

Yeah that's what we need - a revived nuclear arms race engineered by 2 egomaniacs.

Exactly, who is Putin preparing for war against? Why is this even necessary?




You still don't get it do you? He's doing the same thing he does everyday... negotiate. Art of the Deal. He starts with an extreme position and negotiates from there. It's the basics of making a deal.

Because it is a threat Russia won't step to.

While Hillary was going to send people to die in the desert.

I remember the same shite being said when Reagan was elected and in office. The media was convinced we would nuke each other. Instead Reagan knew just like most people with common sense that the only way to prevent a nuclear war is to assure the other side that they cant win.

Only thing Im scared of is your mother trying to ride my raw dick again. That ho just can't get enough of the D.

As for Trump v Putin, im not scared....I personally think its all posturing. I'm just calling out yet another Trumpkinland about face for Orange Jesus.

HRC talking shite about Putin = Neocon warmongering
Trump talking shite about nuclear arms race = MAGA

Like I said I just wanted to clarify and you guys have done a great job.
