You did read the links..right?

You really paint a picture of the poor, embattled Russia..surrounded by bullies.


I think the reality is quite different...and anyone who does a cursory search into the matter...should find cause for alarm.

Mason3000 is correct, the Russians are no real threat, it's all a ploy to have a new/old boogieman since the American people are growing tired of the "war on terror".

Historically...when a Govt. is in trouble..they reach out for a foreign crisis to unite the people and take th3e heat off..what are the odds of this happening soon?
i have been saying it whole time.

Trump has only one way out and it will kill a lot of americans.

The real danger is the lack of adult supervision. Who exactly can we depend on to stop him from dragging us into a war and killing perhaps millions just so that he can save himself from his now almost certain historical *.

I think we would be safer mailing the "football" to the UK or germany. Or simply replace it with a golf bag and tell him it is "undercover"....

Yes, tRump is now weak and weakening with each day, all self-inflicted. It's all very entertaining.

But your post is either:

a) way beyond confused

-or-

b) childishly failed sarcasm

I report. You decide.

*brrrrr* Just got shiver at the thought that Trump might handle being CIC with the same skillset he's exhibiting governing the nation!

They probably figure with Trump's admin becoming a circus, this would be a good time to assert their power. Trump has been looking really besieged lately. The braggadocio thing is kind of wearing thin. Like his excuses.

I'm sure they are quite amused that he's now desperately tweeting about Hillary and the Dems. He's out of material.
