6. If the tweets are true, it's proof in my book the he is doing Putin's bidding.

As a veteran, I'm glad that at this point we are not going to start another unwinnable war in the middle east.

But when might Putin order up other actions in the middle east that are detrimental to US interests?
And expect his yes man, Trump to comply without question.

IMHO, Trump acts like a Russian asset and that makes him a traitor.

We already know he disregards his oath of office every time he ignores the Constitution.

3. All US Intelligence Agencies agree on russian Acts of War against USA

All of them. All staffed, largely, by honorable veterans, men and women who have served the nation, unlike the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, who pisses on our Intelligence routinely.

Why don't the republicans give a shit about the Acts of War against the USA? It was not just the 2016 election. The Acts of War against America continue. And they are poised to mess big time with the 2020 election. And republicans DO NOTHING to protect or defend America.

Instead republicans wave their silk hankies at their Draft-dodging Dotard as he waddles off to one again ASSUME THE POSITION for Putin and for russia, the poisonous PERPETRATOR of these acts of war against the USA.

Sick (R).

This article is over a year old, but still valid.

Why the Hell are republicans refusing to defend America? Sick. Super sick.

7. Someone must have explained to Trump what would happen if the Straits of Hormuz were closed.

Markers were called in so Trump caves, he fears living in public housing or the asylum where he belongs.

9. We can believe nothing coming from Trump, Bolton, Pompeo.

That’s a sad commentary on the state of the US when we have incompetent people who lie with every breath deciding whether to start bombing another country that has not attacked us. Trump may have chickened out, but it’s also possible that one of our NATO allies let them know that the drone was indeed in Iranian air space and they had every right to shoot it down and they would release that information if the strike went forward. The US is not the only country able to track such things.

10. Yep, IMO, drumpf definitely backed off on PUtin's orders.

Nothing matters to drumpf except protecting and enriching himself - well, other than hurting women and minorities - that matters to him as well but he usually tries to both help millionaires and hurt us at the same time. Since PUtin has all the dirt and money to both kill and make him dictator for life - orange traitor tot will do anything and everything PUtin wants him to. PUti is just playing him to make the flaming anus look even more subservient and weak
