I have a sinking feeling that this post will be ignored.
Sad, because it's 100% truth.
Depends what you mean by "it"?So...this is it? again?
It's also 100% gold.
That tweet a year ago rustled the libs. Him wanting Russia back today is rustling the libs.
That's called a win-win. They simply do not get tired of it.
What's the standard for being not being included in this group? If everyone is being held to the Russian standard, why the hell is the USA there?
well considering it has Canada, France, and Italy....
why are we even taking it serious still in the first place?
seriously, Italy?
What has France done, period, since losing it's colonies? nothing.....
where did I defend Russia even in the slightest? oh that's right I didn'tHoly shit, you guys will defend anything."What, like you're so pure?" is the new mantra of the brain-dead right.
where did I defend Russia even in the slightest? oh that's right I didn't
Objectively, France is not a world power, hasn't been for at least 50 years, and contributes what exactly?
Italy, the country w/ the five star movement about to take it out the Euro zone? w/ a horrible economy? virtually zero foreign relations that matter?
also don't ever refer to me as 'you guys', you sound ridiculous when you do so.
So...this is it? again?
There is more to the world than optics..
Nope, and no one is saying it is. Are you incapable of processing information on more than one topic at a time?
You should post this in the thread about Trump “reaching out to NFL players” and the one about his pardons. Trump apparently doesn’t know this.
Oh and can you tell me why this is smart or a good idea?
Dude, you guys are pathetic. What's the point of winning elections when you end up throwing all principle out the window?
What's the standard for being not being included in this group? If everyone is being held to the Russian standard, why the hell is the USA there?
probably because, and I know this is a little tough to follow. W tried to improve relations with Russia/Putin, you know the whole "I looked into his soul and I see a good man". That blew up in W's face.Good relations with Russia can only help the U.S. and the world at large! How come the Liberal nuts can't grasp that simple fact? So Obama reaching out to Iran doesn't make him a traitor but Statesman after he gave away the farm. But President Trump reaching out to another nuclear superpower to smooth relations, somehow makes him a traitor? Are you liberal dems listening to yourselves? Obama gave way too many concessions to Iran. America needs Russia's help in dealing with Iran, Syria, China, North Africa, and Middle East.
President Trump is deviously cunning! Mr. President, keep up the good work and stay strong!
I think the fact that despite their massive natural resources and their incredibly talented and educated population, Russia keeps drifting deeper and deeper into the third world, as other third world nations are pushing ahead of it.
India, China and Brazil are far better candidates at this point.
Economically it makes sense, and I do believe that's technically what the inclusive status is based on. However, Russia was not excluded for economic reasons. They were excluded over Crimea.
Economically Russia is now what? the 13th economy and shrinking?
It has a lot of natural resources and they span from Asia to Europe, so they are only relevant geographically at this point.
