    A few pieces of a puzzle
    Between 1946 and 2012 the US gave India $65 in aid.
    India just announced that it will buy missiles from Russia at a cost of $5 billion

    There has been a dramatic rise in the number of Indian nationals illegally crossing into the US from Mexico and also a record number overstaying their visas.

    Anyone see the possible repercussions due to Trump's previous visa denials for certain countries and the withholding of aid for other countries?

    Some on the left get upset when the U.S. "sells arms to the world". Are they also upset when Russia takes our place and we're not able to sell missiles?

    We are stuck between a rock and a hard place right now with Turkey due to the STUPIDITY of Lockheed Martin and our Defense Department.We cannot impose sanctions or any other punitive action against Turkey for buying Russian missiles because they make significant portions of our BILLION DOLLAR F35 and they are the sole source for these components.HOW DUMB CAN WE BE???
