my gut says another war is on the horizon...

[djsunyc]

it seems that every one of his buildings is now a bonafide terrorist target. what will he do if isis attacks one of his buildings and threatens to attack more?

[GP6971]

1. Worry about north korea first. n/t

[RKP5637]

4. Yep, I can see that ratcheting up, mine is bigger than yours ...

[yuiyoshida]

7. North Korea is slinging Missiles into the Pacific Ocean

And no ISIS can not do that yet, but if NK starts lobbing stuff at South Korea, Japan, and or Hawaii, because of something stupid Trump says or does, we're in for a fucking shitty ride.

[Liberal In Texas]

2. ya think? n/t

[LonePirate]

3. ISIS is in shambles right now. We should fear Russia invading its European neighbors to the west.

Will our Racist-in-Chief heed the NATO treaty and support our allies or will he listen to his puppet master Putin and turn a blind eye to Russian aggression?

[oberliner]

6. How would sending US troops to defend Estonia go over?

Probably not well.

[LonePirate]

9. So you're in favor of dissolving NATO?

[oberliner]

10. Huh?

Dissolving NATO?

I was commenting on how the idea of sending of sending US troops to defend Estonia would go over.

[LonePirate]

11. Try thinking about the reason we would have to send troops there in the first place.

[oberliner]

12. My comment was in relation to how sending US troops to defend Estonia would go over

I don't think it would go over well. How do you think it would go over?

[LonePirate]

13. Why do you think we would send them there in first place?

It's not because our new Racist-in-Chief wanted to establish a new forward eastern base of operations. It would be due to Russian aggression against the country.

[oberliner]

14. To defend them from Russian aggression

My point is with respect to how the idea of sending US troops to defend Estonia from Russia would go over in the United States. I assert that it would not go over well. What about you?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. What if he invades Poland?

NATO would have to act.

[oberliner]

20. I am not arguing that point

I am asserting that it would not go over well in the US to send American troops to fight Russia in Estonia or elsewhere in the region.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. I don't know about Estonia but I suspect America wouldn't abandon Poland.

[oberliner]

22. I don't think the US would abandon its allies

I am just saying that the idea of sending American troops to fight against Russian troops in Europe would not go over well. Especially considering the significant loss of life that it would inevitably involve.

[lark]

26. Are you kidding me?

drumpf ran on being nice to Russia, he will not send one person to Europe to defend it from Russias' aggression. I bet he would veto any motion in Congress to send troops. All he wants is more $$ for himself and Russia is the key to enrichment for him. He's a freaking traitor in waiting. Doesn't matter one bit what Russia does, drumpf will sign off on it for his own personal gain.

[oberliner]

27. You are probably right

My point is not really related to Trump at all.

It is that the idea of sending US troops to fight Russia in Estonia (for instance) would not go over well in America (even though we are obligated to do so).

[Calista241]

28. Estonia is a member of NATO, and we're obligated by treaty to defend them from invasion

by a foreign power.

[oberliner]

30. No kidding

My point is that the idea of sending US troops to fight Russia in Estonia (for instance) would not go over well in America (even though we are obligated to do so).

[Hugin]

24. Estonia is a member of NATO. (2004)

By Treaty the US is obligated to go in, if Estonia or Latvia are attacked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO

[oberliner]

25. No kidding

How do you think it would go over in the US for American troops to be sent to fight Russian troops in Estonia?

I assert that it would not go over very well considering the significant loss of American lives that would inevitably result.

[Dawson Leery]

8. Pence and the "deep state" will be what saves Europe.

[FarCenter]

23. Russia never invaded Finland or Austria during the Cold War, neither was a NATO member.

Or Yugoslavia.

[Wounded Bear]

29. Russia invaded Finland during WWII...

and got their ass kicked, more or less.

In Yugoslavia, Tito basically told Stalin to pound sand and set up his own Communist dictatorship, no Russkis need apply.

Putin is dreaming of setting up a Greater Russia like days of old. Russia has always dreamed of a couple of things.

1. To be accepted as a major player in European politics

2. To get an ice free port to the Western seas.

Putin is reviving thosse dreams.

[rwheeler31]

5. The people who work on or near his holdings will be most endangered.

I hope they can find other jobs soon. Has anyone heard whether they will take his name off of more buildings?

[MiniMe]

15. He is so thin skinned, somebody will insult him on Twitter and that will be all it takes

[McCamy Taylor]

16. Big Oil Wants Him to Invade Iran. Russia is Big Oil.

Nuff said.

[oberliner]

17. Now that would be truly disastrous

Let's hope that cooler heads prevail somehow for the sake of humanity.

[alarimer]

18. When the body bags start coming home, his supporters will turn on him.

Like they did with Bush. It may take far too many dead soldiers, but if there us any silver lining to war, it is that it will kill the Trump presidency.

[WilliamPlanke]

31. Not safe to stay at a Trump hotel! Dangerous!!

When word gets out and people stay away out of fear for their own safety, then the a Trump brand will be ruined.
