couple of things I noticed in this article about his tweet and Putin's comments...

First, what part of neener neener does trump think is a serious deterrent to other countries?

"MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski spoke with Trump on the phone and asked him to expand on his tweet. She said he responded: "Let it be an arms race. We will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all."

Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said in several television interviews on Friday that there would not be an arms race because the president-elect would ensure that other countries trying to step up their nuclear capabilities, such as Russia and China, would decide not to do so."

Second - he appears to be deliberately doing things to manipulate not only the press, but also the stock market. His behavior has affected Vanity Fair, Carrier, Boeing, and now...

"Shares of uranium producers and a nuclear fuel technology company have jumped on Trump's comments with Uranium Resources Inc, Uranium Energy Corp, Cameco Corp and Lightbridge Corp all trading higher on Friday."

What does he possibly have to gain by creating situations in which investors are running around like dammmmm fool chickens? Wonder how many trumpissts have run out and bought shares in these companies now, and when it will all implode all over them. It would be funny if so many people's pension plans and personal investments weren't all tied up in it.

That is about the maturity level of many on the left.

The dems have resorted to criticizing the main peaceful method of combating communism that the western world has used for decades.

Trump is playing with fire with his loose and careless talk about an arms race. He is one stupid and dangerous man who could very well get us all killed because the planet won't survive afterward, no matter where the attack takes place. Below is an interesting (and scary) article about our nuclear weapons. We have 15,350 world wide with Russia and the USA owning the vast majority of them.

There is also a letter being sent from our nuclear scientists to our current president urging him to take us off from high alert so that Trump, when he gets into office, won't be only five minutes from being able to send off an nuclear attack that no one but him can stop. He's too unstable to have that kind of power at his tweeting fingertips.

Merry Christmas, Trump voters. Is this really what you signed up for?

Yes, we signed up for you dems being driven (even more) crazy.

It's fun to watch you dems embarrassing yourselves.

If you dems stepped outside of your bubbles, you would see that everybody is laughing at you with your downright childish attacks against Trump.

The problem with the "war industry" is that it's a job creator that makes a lot of money for a lot of people in all levels of society. To this day, and all leftiness aside, I still think the reason Obama didn't pull everyone out of everywhere was because the US economy was so fragile during his administration and war is good for business. The problem is, it was a tepid military response. You are either all in and kill off all the bastards or you're totally out and say it's not our problem, let them kill each other...sort of like Rahm Emanuel's laissez-faire response to Chicago killings. Maybe you Dems should fast track him for the presidency. He's telegraphing his war policy right now - hands off.

No, a free and open society is the main method of combating communism. And Trump's attitude towards the press is the first step TOWARDS setting up a communist system here in our country. He also major shows signs of McCarthyism with his requests for lists of people who attended meetings on climate control and gender issues and his Muslim register. Let the witch hunts begin seems to be the new motto of Mr. Trump.

I have never been a fan of Obama but have never called people who voted for him childish names... Immature people on both sides. Still immature.
