President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Again with the fellatio reference. One would almost think you were obsessed with homosexual sex.

 

Disappointing. thought Starman would definitely call him Fucko. Dumpf isn't the same.

 

Putin’s Real Long Game
"
Even this week, as Barack Obama tries to confront Russia’s open and unprecedented interference in our political process, the outgoing White House is so far responding to 21st century hybrid information warfare with last century’s diplomatic toolkit: the expulsion of spies, targeted sanctions, potential asset seizure. The incoming administration, while promising a new approach, has betrayed a similar lack of vision. Their promised attempt at another “reset” with Russia is a rehash of a policy that has utterly failed the past two American administrations.

What both administrations fail to realize is that the West is already at war, whether it wants to be or not. It may not be a war we recognize, but it is a war. This war seeks, at home and abroad, to erode our values, our democracy, and our institutional strength; to dilute our ability to sort fact from fiction, or moral right from wrong; and to convince us to make decisions against our own best interests.

Those on the Russian frontier, like my friends from Ukraine and Estonia, have already seen the Kremlin’s new toolkit at work. The most visible example may be “green men,” the unlabeled Russian-backed forces that suddenly popped up to seize the Crimean peninsula and occupy eastern Ukraine. But the wider battle is more subtle, a war of subversion rather than domination. The recent interference in the American elections means that these shadow tactics have now been deployed – with surprising effectiveness – not just against American allies, but against America itself. And the only way forward for America and the West is to embrace the spirit of the age that Putin has created, plow through the chaos, and focus on building what comes next."

 

I was having a conversation recently about the president-elect and almost called him Dumpf.

 

Good read, thanks.

 

JFC.

 

The Post can't win with you. When they get it wrong you ridicule them, and when they get it right you hurl blasphemous acronyms at them.

 

Putin’s Real Long Game

Next week, we'll post a story on Hillary from the point of view of Rush's Dittoheads.

Wonder if we'll think that's a "good read."

 

You're as bad about Russia as YF is about Trump.

 

Nah. I'm only as bad about Russia and Peyton Manning and tennis and living debt-free combined as YF is about Trump.

 

Might be a good time for your move to Vladivostok, Boris.
You can get the Russians on every channel there. And, yes, it was a good read.

 

But, but ... tennis! Won't somebody think of the tennis?
