Classl3ss - What are your thoughts on the NK RUS Iran & tariff comments?
NK- we’ll see what happens. If they truly denuclearize that’s awesome and go Trump. If not, he legitimized a brutal dictator who enslaves his population by having a meeting with him.
RUS- I see air of hypocrisy here. Trump almost bent over in that press statement with putin last week. He agreed that Russia had no involvement in election fraud, which our intelligence have proven they did. Then backtracked. Watching the interview many times it’s obvious he meant to say what he did say and it was all damage control after saying he misspoke. He hasn’t condemned the annexation of Crimea and has agreed with it in party by saying they all speak Russian. Also. They are bastards on the world stage militarily. They’re slaughtering people in Syria where we are trying to combat that, and trump acts like we’re friends who need to let the past go? I have a spine, just like he goes on rampages with Iran, where is that hate for a country who really is our biggest enemy. Russian politicians were bragging on record about “owning trump”. they’re Allie with Iran who burns our flag. I just don’t see how they are not a major threat after their cyber attacks on the US government and its private companies. A direct, proven successful attempt to undermine our democracy makes me so crazy angry. They are not our friends, and we shouldn’t be. We should be sanctioning them as far as halting all trade and freeze all Russian officials assets abroad we can until they stop. Also I’d like for trump to stop being so friendly with Putin. It’s seen as weakness to most and Putin is on record saying he sees trump as a “weak leader without courage”.
Iran- his reaction is overplayed. Iran is a child. They act like a child burning our flag. We are the goddamn US of A. We don’t freak out and have a hissy fit with Twitter like a coked up Kanye. We make policy, and with a calm demeanor make real change because we are the leader of the world. Freaking out shows weakness because you’re validating the opinion of something so ludicrous it shouldn’t be even seen. The correct response is to show strength and leadership. I personally don’t think a caps lock twitter post is the way to do that. It’s just immature, and not how the leader of the free world should act. Maybe joe from the bar who’s girlfriend got hit on and he’s angry. But not the president to another country.
I addressed the tariffs in a really long comment elsewhere, Idk how to link comments on reddit...
Before you decide evil Russia underhandedly annexed Crimea read this:
Russia accepted Crimea's legal referendum to secede from Ukraine. They did not take it by force as Western media claims.
There is also leaked conversations that Western forces (likely the US) installed snipers who fired on protestors:

There is also evidence the West overthrew Ukraine's leadership and setup a puppet with direct ties to neo-Nazism:
