There was the suggestion Putin is my pal and you can know this intuitively because all Commie pinkos regard him as a friend. Maybe we could liken that to the way people were calling out to their friend, Hillary, in the election. I don't know how many people you call a friend and are also packing a hundred million dollars but I'm coming up with a goose egg on that one.
Putin isn't my pal any more than Obama or, my obvious preference, Bernie Sanders. In a different space/time continuum it would have been cool to have been pals with Sanders but probably the others not so much. Ambition isn't all that attractive but a vision always is.
Ed: so long as you like the vision!
To make a better vision than reality just now, we only need to make shadow puppets on the wall with our hands.
Ed: many have it good right now!
Yah and that's when it's easiest to bullshit them, isn't it (larfs).
Trump's clear intention to do business rather than bombing with Russians is the most positive outcome which could possibly have come from the election. We have seen Obama's aggression in trying to encircle Russia, ostensibly to protect Europe. It's not clear why Obama thinks that's necessary when Putin's only move toward Europe has been to sell them natural gas which they need in great supply.
Ukraine is bringing the smell to everything with large support from America and Putin has nothing to do with the shithole it's become. Poroshenko is doing a marvelous job of trashing the place. All we've seen from Ukraine is why Russia didn't fight in the first place to keep it when the Soviet Union broke up.
You know as well as I Clinton is dangerously-aggressive and there's no chance she would have been talking business in any way with Putin. The lethal path of escalation Obama has been taking would likely have continued and no good could possibly have come from that. Sooner or later someone would have made a mistake and then many people get dead.
There's almost nothing else in Trump's general policy plans I support but anything which keeps us from getting radioactive will always be supported. His intention to do business with Moscow is one of the few actually positive things he has said.
Besides, Americans should be dancing in the streets since Putin's acceptance of the export reductions required by OPEC has meant oil prices have increased significantly. Trump seems to recognize this type of reality so maybe he will be saying, my pal, Putin.
Note: hopefully you see I take the term 'my pal' to be amusing rather than annoying.
I'm not a Commie and hardly anyone in the world is anymore. In high likelihood, we all want the same thing in reduction of the outlandish military spending. All those people up there who currently have it so good would suddenly find the standard of living went up for everyone due to the absence of the incredible and excessive drain from the Pentagon.
In talking with Cadillac Man, it sounded like there was the thinking that throttling back Defense Dept spending would kill the economy but I don't think military sales are all that big a part of the GDP. Any part of it is a whole ton of money but I don't recall it being so enormous the economy would collapse without it.
The upset you would get from that is from a whole pile of high-technical workers hitting unemployment lines. Unknown how much benign businesses could absorb and NASA is a likely candidate for many. It will definitely result in job changes but not necessarily job losses.
We'll see how serious Donald Trump is about doing business when he starts cutting the wildly-expensive programs such as B-21 the Son of B2, etc. There's defense and then there's spendthrift absurdity.
These people aren't my pals but I should at least be able to expect common sense from them. Trump has it wrong on a whole lot of things but on this aspect with Putin he just may have it right for the first time in many years.
