Trump will not do anything that makes Putin upset. That was the reason for the private call that was so secretive. Ally doesn't mean friend. Pompeo confirmed that he discussed the "defensive actions" with Russian's Foreign Minister via Twitter and CNN.

Rising oil prices serve to benefit Russia's economy. Trump couldn't use Ukraine to get reelected so he is bowing to Putin to assist him win election and grab money. All roads....

Trump Warned That a ‘Weak’ and ‘Ineffective’ President Would Start a War With Iran to ‘Get Re-elected’

The American public should distrust a “weak” and “ineffective” president whose “poll numbers are in a tailspin” if he provokes a military confrontation with Iran. He’s doing it to “save face” and “look tough” in a transparent attempt “to get reelected.”

Yet the two of you are okay with Trump being a hypocrite? Never mind of course you are, why even bother asking?

Pompeo wouldn't even say where the threats were targeted.

Now all of a sudden Trump believes the "Deep State" Intel yet called them scum and liars for 3 years. Trump is a manipulative liar trying to distract from impeachment and high crimes. Period.

Great piece by the Post
Yes, Soleimani was an enemy. That doesn’t mean Trump made the right call.

At least you admit it was stupid.

Saying you welcome assassinations of US officials it weird, but what else is new.

Also, the talk about this leading to war....China and Russia are not going to go to war with the US over an Iranian terrorist leader. Sorry to ruin your hopes and dreams.
No one said anything about China and Russia.

Sure looks like the biggest threat to America is the left and democrats !!!

I see now the both of you are related this explains A LOT.

You were against Obama doing the same thing but it’s okay if Trump does. Might want to check that mirror of yours more closely. No ones supporting a terrorist get over it.
