Perhaps before you attempt to deflect from reality you could explain all the wonderful things democrats intend to do for the American taxpayers.

Oh that’s right: you can’t.

While Jihadi Justin is PM, I consider Canada to not be our friend. He's sending Islamist south over our northern border (hence why we need two border walls. I bet the open borders to the North are letting loads of the "refugees" and other Islamists he's letting in turn Michigan more and more Muslim.)

I used to trust Australia somewhat but now that they were stupid enough to legalize same-sex "marriage" and impose all these gun bans, they're now on my watch list. (Not sure about New Zealand, but if they're anything like AU, then they are on my watch list too.)


Sweden is a third world country overrun by Muslims. I heard they were the #2 rape capital of the world.
The mind of A Trumpster, people. Our friends are our enemies.

That makes no sense. It is either a friend or enemy as the question is asked. Only answer is friend, enemy or both or neither. I don't think yes or no fits the question at all.

Whatever you think of Russia and it's politics, remember this:

Russia has a population of 144 million but has a GDP less than that of Canada (population 36 million).

Russia is neither a friend or enemy. I do understand that the liberal butthurt crybabies that lost the election are trying to make Russia an enemy or start a thermonuclear war with Russia but they are just butthurt crazy.

In answer to the poorly phrased poll, I voted "no" to whether Russia is a friend or enemy of the USA....because they are neither.

Russia is our enemy, don't trust them.

Just because we do business with them doesn't mean we are friends. Just like China.

I wish I had gotten the first reply and said something like "yes=friend" and "no=enemy" so I could have saved the poll. If I was a mod I'd just have gone and fixed it myself without asking but that's not going to happen. haha.

What possible reason is there to imagine Russia is a friend of the U.S.?

If Russia was our friend, why would the U.S. impose sanctions on them?

FYI: There have been sanctions in place for some time now.

Administration missed the Oct. 1st deadline of the recent Congressional sanctions against Russian military and intelligence sectors, but that isn't because they've become our friends in the meantime.

Anyone trying to get you to believe that Russia is our friend has an odd idea of what friendship is all about.
