Yea, the left worships the Castros but call Trump a Nazi for defending Israel. Many great years coming up for the Trump administration. Election 2020 - Trump versus Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be funny.

The very same is coming to a theater near you. Release date is January 17th, 2017.

It's bewildering how many Republicans are suddenly huge fans of the country that Ronald Reagan BURIED.

So why is our President-elect sucking up to their Dictator? Why does he appear to be ignoring our actual allies while giving all his attention to a country even congressional republicans abhor?

If he wants to go that route, why not kiss up to China? The world's 2nd largest economy with a GDP 9 times larger than Russia?

"with a GDP 9 times larger than Russia?"

GDP means absolutely NOTHING compare to the nuclear missiles that Russia has.

"keep your friends close and your enemies CLOSER."

Their nuclear weapons havent help Russia's rampant poverty and crippled economy.

Their nuclear weapons didnt deter Barack Obama from levying sanctions against Russia.

Are you afraid of Russia? Do you want America to be afraid of Russia?

I sure dont.

2016 GDP World Bank, $1 Trillion+
Unites States $18.561Trillion
China $11.391 Trillion
Japan $4.730 Trillion
Germany $3.494 Trillion
United Kingdom $2.649 Trillion
France $2.488 Trillion
India $2.250 Trillion
Italy $1.852 Trillion
Brazil $1.769 Trillion
Canada $1.532 Trillion
South Korea $1.404 Trillion
Russia $1.267 Trillion
Australia $1.256 Trillion
Spain $1.252 Trillion
Mexico $1.063 Trillion

Russia isnt even in the same league as Germany, the UK or France, much less the US or China.

Is Trump beholden to increasing Russia's status? Are they blackmailing him? One has to wonder about his devotion to Russia.
