2. A putin win, as is the tariff threat against Mexcico

[KPN]

6. And the China trade war, and incarceration of immigrants/seperation of immigrant families, and

Barr, and Kavanaugh, and the NRA, and "there are good people on both sides", and voter suppression, and a complacent GOP, and ... the list goes on and on and on unfortunately.

It occurs to me that he (Putin) may actually be what Reagan was to the Soviet Union. We are breaking down and essentially Balkanizing before our own eyes.

All because he found, comnpromised and used a mindless egomaniac with a tiny penis.

12. The GOP is EAGERLY giving Putin the Cold War trophy

a quarter century after the fact ...

[KPN]

18. All for money and membership in the

aristocracy. They care about nothing but themselves and power.

23. But he's a white Christian in their eyes

So it's okay.

3. Russia will now have access to the F-35 and can insert malware in its networking devices

Trump is an utter fool

[Dirty Socialist]

9. Wow

[FoxNewsSucks]

[Initech]

8. Where are the military gurus on this? Why aren't they speaking up?

10. A MADMAN is making decisions willy nilly or at direction of Putin.

And we do nothing to restrain him.

Please urge media to stop focusing on Dem horse race and start focusing on the mental condition of the Emperor.

19. +1000

11. Getting scared here...that our gov't is working for a foreign adversary, openly...aggressively. nt

[Chasdev]

13. Malware is not the issue

Allowing the russian "trainers" to scan our fighter with the missile system radar/heat tracker will reveal any "tells" in it's stealth signature, which of course is a BIG blow to our "advantage".

29. Russian S-400 systems can gather data from F-35s operating in Norway and Israel

and in the future Poland and perhaps other former Eastern Bloc counties (and maybe Japan and Korea).

The F-35 is an electronic warfare data sponge and is robustly networked with US (and NATO) combat information systems.

The US has spent billions of dollars to create a highly effective "force multiplier" inter-service combat info network.

Place a sleeper bug in that network.

And you can take it down.

Just sayin'

14. Congress allows him to act as a unitary executive.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

16. Not nearly a done deal.

Article says Drumpf told Erdogan the USA would now participate in a study group on this issue, which contradicts State and DOD prior policy.

Waiting to hear DOD response regarding this slap in the face.......

Expecting to hear crickets from State.....

Waiting to hear responses from Congress regarding existing blocking legislation......

(snips)

....there is a consensus among the foreign policy establishment both in Turkey and the US that the White House does not have much power against the members of Congress who are adamant about implementing sanctions against Turkey over the Russian missile system.

Last week, a final draft of the National Defence Authorisation Act barred the transfer of F-35s to Turkey in the case of the purchase of the S-400 missile system.

US legislators also threatened the Trump administration that they could ratify specific laws to target Turkey if the president doesn't enforce the existing law that invokes sanctions against Ankara.

17. KGB Agent Double-O-Nothing.

AKA Prezident Plant.

What a freaking travesty this all is.

27. HEhEhE

[Achilleaze]

20. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is sneaky

along with everything else

[SunSeeker]

21. Another day, another Trump treason. nt

[OMGWTF]

22. Reagan wanted to kick Russia's ass; Trump wants to lick it.

[SayItLoud]

24. Think about this: tRUMP speaks to Wall Streeters on his private unsecured phone...

how many of them know in advance that tRUMP is going to tweet "tariffs on Mexico"? Is the SEC checking on short sellers against the market and specific companies...in particular all those that will be impacted by tRUMP's tariffs on Mexico? The fake potus and his croonies are grifters and cheats. Kushner family, tRUMP family and all distant relatives are no doubt given a "heads up"....probably Russians who tRUMP's borrowed $ from and Saudis....are getting tipped off. They make millions and write off tRUMP debt obligations.

Sound far fetched? I don't think so. Tip off, erase debt obligation.

[Cosmocat]

28. No it doesn't

This is absolutely a thing ...

[lunamagica]

25. Well, he is Putins's puppet. We were warned
