[spanone]

2. he's willing to tank the world economy to appear that he knows what he's doing

he doesn't have a clue

[gordianot]

3. What Putin implied was a first strike capability.

Any other American administration in the last 60 years would have taken notice. Crickets

4. Don would have to cross Vladimir and he won't do that...and our politicians don't appear to care

no one is watching out for us.

[Farmer-Rick]

5. If Little Putin sends a nuke our way,

If he attacks us with a nuke and Trump knows it's from Putin, will he just let it fall on us and Not scramble our defense systems? If little Putin calls and tells him he needs to blow up a piece of the US so that Putin can look big and tough, will Trump let it happen? It seems to me something Trump would do to help out his pal Putin.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. very likely. Trump is McFly to Putin's Biff right now

[Voltaire2]

8. The Russian response to our continued

development of anti-missile systems was entirely predictable and is why these systems were banned previously. Each side will maintain a credible deterrent force, and if one side ups their defense the other side will develop counter measures.

9. Exactly so. MADness worked during the cold war...

Perhaps it would be useful to read the transcript: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/56957

... I hope that everything that was said today would make any potential aggressor think twice, since unfriendly steps against Russia such as deploying missile defences and bringing NATO infrastructure closer to the Russian border become ineffective in military terms and entail unjustified costs, making them useless for those promoting these initiatives.

It was our duty to inform our partners of what I said here today under the international commitments Russia had subscribed to. When the time comes, foreign and defence ministry experts will have many opportunities to discuss all these matters with them, if of course our partners so desire.

For my part, I should note that we have conducted the work to reinforce Russia's defence capability within the current arms control agreements; we are not violating anything. I should specifically say that Russia's growing military strength is not a threat to anyone; we have never had any plans to use this potential for offensive, let alone aggressive goals.

We are not threatening anyone, not going to attack anyone or take away anything from anyone with the threat of weapons. We do not need anything. Just the opposite. I deem it necessary to emphasise (and it is very important) that Russia's growing military power is a solid guarantee of global peace as this power preserves and will preserve strategic parity and the balance of forces in the world, which, as is known, have been and remain a key factor of international security after WWII and up to the present day.

And to those who in the past 15 years have tried to accelerate an arms race and seek unilateral advantage against Russia, have introduced restrictions and sanctions that are illegal from the standpoint of international law aiming to restrain our nation's development, including in the military area, I will say this: everything you have tried to prevent through such a policy has already happened. No one has managed to restrain Russia.

Now we have to be aware of this reality and be sure that everything I have said today is not a bluff ‒ and it is not a bluff, believe me ‒ and to give it a thought and dismiss those who live in the past and are unable to look into the future, to stop rocking the boat we are all in and which is called the Earth...
