This idiot is going to turn the entire Nato alliance against him. It's one thing for candidate -- who nobody believed would ever be elected -- to talk like this. It's another thing for a President of the US to talk like this. Trump forfeits by these words any claim to be the "leader of the free world."
We're in for quite a ride until we rid ourselves of this monstrosity.
President-elect Donald Trump signaled an openness to working with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a nuclear reduction deal to ease American sanctions.
Trump's interview with the Times of London, published Sunday afternoon, comes amid ongoing questions in the U.S. in the days before his inauguration this Friday about Putin's election-related cyberattacks last year on Trump's behalf and the possibility that the president-elect's campaign was in contact with Russian intermediaries.
Although Trump's team Sunday denied a separate Times of London report that his first foreign visit was to be a summit with Putin in Reykjavik, Trump himself revealed an openness to easing sanctions on Russia that the U.S. and NATO allies have imposed in response to Russia's annexation of territory in Ukraine and Crimea.
They have sanctions on Russia lets see if we can make some good deals with Russia," Trump told the Times. "For one thing, I think nuclear weapons should be way down and reduced very substantially, thats part of it. But Russias hurting very badly right now because of sanctions, but I think something can happen that a lot of people are gonna benefit.
