Trump says Nato 'no longer obsolete'

He won't. We have experimental building numeration, where town divided in microdistricts - 20 or so at the moment. It keeps expanding. In building number the last two numbers are number of building, and first one or two - are number of microdistrict. Streets are not included in adress.

 

Funny system, I remember being in Zelenograd about five years ago the street named Yunost. Looks like Zelenograd is switched to the new format of addresses.

 

Naw, it was there since founding of town. Streets are not included in adress, except for a few specific cases, such as in Krukovo part of town. They do exist, though. Streets, alleys, prospekts.

 

If we wanted a neo-con, we would've put a neo-con in office. But hey, be happy. It ended up we Nationalists put our eggs in the wrong bucket just like I feared/predicted. Which is why I held off on supporting him as long as I did.

 

Before the election I feared that life would become boring after November 9 Those fears were totally unfounded

 

Assad has never gassed innocent citizens of Syria ??

 

We speak of tragic incident in Khan Shaykhun. Point being - proper investigation haven't been performed.

 

The thread is about Trump, NATO, and Syria.

 

Ibknew he'd finally see the light)).

 

The USA prez does not run the world. Nor should they.

 

The number of 180's that donald has had to do in the past few days has got to be a record of some kind. Not for a president but just for a normal, sane person.

 

This flip-flop on NATO can be one of 2 things. First, he could have lied when he was campaigning. If that's not the case, he was terribly unqualified and ill-informed. Either way, just more evidence that he doesn't know what the heck he's doing.

 

I like his phrasing... Nato was obsolete but it changed so much in two months it's no longer obsolete It's not him it's them

 

One problem is that there are plenty of other dictators around who have big armies and foster a lot of hatred toward the U.S. These include Iran, Russia, North Korea, etc. So we still need conventional forces to defend ourselves against these and other emerging threats.

But I agree that a muscle-bound military would probably be less effective against terrorists than special forces, well-trained police and intelligence agencies. But, hey! The fat cats who run the industrial military complex, the One Percenters, have got to make a buck where they can. Like they say, a man's gotta eat. Lol...

 

As usual Trump exposes his IGNORANCE and his ARROGANCE!

NATO invoked Article 5 after 9/11 and has been fighting terrorism ever since.

The Cretin-in-Chief was just "schooled" by the head of NATO!

 

NATO has already been doing that since 9/11!

Only Trump and his sycophantic supporters were too ignorant to know that.

 

Trump ordered the attack BEFORE the intelligence could be completed so no, it was NOT "overwhelming" in the least.

 

He reversed himself on NATO. Now he isn't going to accuse China of currency manipulation like he was claiming on the campaign trail. He reversed himself on Syria. He said he wouldn't cut medicare but his healthcare plan did.

 

With Trump flip-flopping from day to day with his 'foreign policy', I feel desperately sorry for Spicer - the poor bloke obviously can't keep up with him.

 

What about American presidents who unilaterally and illegally launch military attacks against a sovereign country with the intention of occasioning regime change - are they criminals too, do you think?

 

when people voted for the reality star they signed under 2 months of the big mess. my guess 3 days ago USA got an ordinary republican president

 

But the USA are not (supposed to be) criminals

Good point. It was a very rushed response. If they had chem weapons since 2013, and had used them once in 4 years, the case that there was an imminent threat of another attack was perhaps over-stated.

we are only at a speculation stage. You are welcome to your opinion, but please substantiate it.

 

Oh good grief, did we learn NOTHING from the invasion if Iraq. American politicians do bad stuff to make themselves popular at home and make up lies to justify it. It has happened, hundreds of thousands of people have died. And then you tell me "of they must know something we don't".
No
Never again.

 

The morons obviously 'learned nothing' from Vietnam, or Iraq, or Libya, or Afghanistan either. The world is being brought to the brink of nuclear war by a bunch of cunst. Oh well, que sera . . .

 

I'm beginning to think Clinton would have been the better bet; at least she wouldn't have lost the plot quite so soon. And to think that when Trump won I said 'Cometh the hour, cometh the man.'
