Then you should vote NO - otherwise the results will look better for Trump than they should.
Our leaders are always pro diplomacy and use force as a last resort. But be aware if we do use force it will be brutal, savage, and quick. Like what happened to the Russian mercenary who tried to attack us....complete obliteration of an entire russian armored column within minutes. We command the air, cyber, ground and sea. They had no chance to retaliate. The weak obama loving days are over. We like the warrior monk approach. Fear and wonder, very powerful tools in the arsenal of freedom.

I think a Nobel prize is in order if peace is achieved. However peace doesn’t seem to be the driving force with trump since he tore up the iran deal with no replacement. Quite frankly I don’t know of any country that would give up their nuclear program for a pathological liar.
Because that liar controls the world strongest military and economic powerhouse it's not a matter of want it is a matter of survival. Our new world order is peace through negotiation with the credible threat of force (economically, covertly, millitarily etc...) We in the state call it poker face. We look at it more like shrewd and cunning as oppose to lies.

I'd love to just give North Korea to China. Here you keep the land.
They also don't want because they need a buffer state. It's a traditional soviet policy.

Mid terms sure corrected the problems with Obama...he lost both the House and Senate.
Americans don't need your faith....why does it matter to you in Canada ?
Because his tim horton depends on it. It'll be starbucks soon enough, give the guy some slack.

Normally I would agree with you. But there is a cult sickness that is sweeping America and a republican congress that has abdicated it's responsibility. Mid terms may correct the problem but I have lost faith in the intelligence of the American people.

There are, indeed, similarities between today’s political landscape and what Europe experienced in the buildup to World War II, as well as with other times when populism eventually turned into fascism—such as Francoist Spain, or Peronist Argentina. But while fascism usually is rooted in populism, starting with populism doesn’t inevitably mean you’ll wind up with fascism.
They are related and Trumps actions like his targeting groups to hate are fascist not populist.
Then have faith my Canadian brother, maybe not in our leader but have faith in us the american people , we will come through. Should trump choose to do anything that is unconstitutional I will be on the picket fence like everyone else protesting. Lastly believe in the system we have built, checks and balances are a strong reason to curtail any radical move by one man. Don't forget the difference between fascist and american-ism, we hold our leaders accountable. "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" Abe Lincoln . MURICAH!

Nothing good comes from electing a fascist. If you want to know the future, learn the past.
I agree there is nothing that hasn't been overcome in the past that we will face in the future. But once again , i believe you have trump in correctly characterized. He is not a fascist he is a populist. Second our democratic process has a way of weeding out the extreme elements but still afford the opportunity for growth. Some of us here rejects much of the progressivism that has overtaken canada. This is not necessarily a bad thing by the way. I've talked with plenty of liberals and progressive, they seem to forget that the world run on a fundamental fact call reality not idealism.

America's greatest threat: “The lack of political unity in America. The lack of a fundamental friendliness. It seems like an awful lot of people in America and around the world feel spiritually and personally alienated, whether it be from organized religion or from local community school districts or from their governments.“I come out of the tight-knit Marine Corps, but I’ve lived on college campuses for three and a half years,” he went on. “Go back to Ben Franklin—his descriptions about how the Iroquois Nations lived and worked together. Compare that to America today. I think that, when you look at veterans coming out of the wars, they’re more and more just slapped in the face by that isolation, and they’re used to something better. They think it’s P.T.S.D.—which it can be—but it’s really about alienation. If you lose any sense of being part of something bigger, then why should you care about your fellow-man?” -James Mattis Sec. Defense

Trump's divisive politics should be questioned and he will be . To the american voters. If we find what he says and does are completely out of tune with our values we will get rid of him but if we find some truth to his madness maybe we'll let him explain him self in the next campaign debate. Either way he's part of us and he's here to stay so long as we see fit. So feel free to voice your opinion about it. But you know it is much more complicated than voting one person into office , because when you cast that ballot you are in effect appointing all the other members of his cabinet and they are good people too. To criticize the president and blanket his fault across the whole department would be an injustice and disservice to those civil servent who serves the greater good.

I would not say we did nothing. Assad is not readily using chemical overtly as he once did. As for trump character. I agree, some of his business practices should be questioned and they have... with the proud american tradition we call lawsuits and settlement.

I know a con job when i see it. When you phone the enemy so they can move before you drop a bomb. Pretty much says whats going on.
That was done out of respect to the russian who have advisers on those bases we bombed. The second time we launched our missiles they were only informed that we would not target them. We used the deconflicting line to make sure there are no russians in areas we intend to use.

Trump did nothing in Syria but phone and warn Russia and assad. An empty Runway and a few warehouses.
Trump also had nothing to do with the mercenaries. He didn't even know about it until after it was over.
The us military was in constant contact with Russian through the whole thing..
Trump promised the wouldn't telegraph his actions and tell the enemy what he was doing...another lie. another confab form an conman..
You mean to tell me a military action that would potentially set off world war 3 has no input from trump? The fact that saber rattling unsettles you because you are not aware of the nature of diplomatic negotiation tells me you are not well verse enough on this topic to have meaningful input.

Jeesus christ people can we stop with the nazi fascist comparassion. Trump is not hitler, america isn't the weimar republic of the 1920s and 30s. All of these attacks only distracts from the real issue.

It would be nice to have a GOOD president for once.
Good is a relative term. What is good for one group might not be for other. As a leader the road to popularity is a road to failure. You have to take a position and go with your guts. Win people's affection by your steadfastness to your values.

Now that you have learned trump is destroying americas credibly in stark contrast to your claim you can explain how Obama forced the right wingers to be birther racists?
I would say trump is re establishing our credibility in the world stage. Take russia and syria for instance. We said no more chemical weapons and we mean it. And if you try to send a mercenary force to attack us you will be obliterated. The meek obama days are over. We will back our diplomats with force if necessary. So take the carrot not the stick. We are re asserting our selves in the world stage. As for the domestic theater feel free to call us out on it. If we don't like it we will replace him with someone else to our liking next term.

Well one thing I hate about America is Rap music. The government shouldn't of allowed record labels to weaponize the ghettos. If you see a lot of messed up black people, blame the record companies that promoted mass cultural narcissism, just to make a buck.
That is a valid opinion but i might add that rap music is borne out of poverty and socio economic disparity that forces these artist to sing about their rise from poverty. You can see why this has a mass appeal. We love Drake and the weeknd so thank you canadians. The best gift ever!

Lots of Canadians I talk to Hate Americans. All I hear is "America is a police state". American's think they own the world. Americans make arrogant tourists. Americans are snobs. Don't go to Trumpland, bla bla bla.
No worries on my many trips to BC I love talking to those people. I think of Canadians pretty much as Americans because in America you have every right to criticize what you disagree with. But the reality is this, we are joined at the hip so criticize away. You're not saying what we haven't already heard amongst ourselves. We american find you canadians and your antics amusing. Do you know how many canadian jokes we have about you!!!??

Trump also told you there were muslims on roof tops , he had evidence Obama's birth certificate was forged and Mexico was sending a check..( to name just a few)
Sorry...... American Credibility=0 um...00
You do realize what trump says and does are two totally separate things right? He does not represent every American nor does he have complete power to do as he sees fit. We have great people working in the state department and many other agency with plenty of credibility. It's called checks and balances. They were simply hampered by Obama's risk adverse tendency and allowed the world to loose faith in American credibility. Trump is simply re-establishing those credibility. Now what ever he said was probably said with mis-information about the matter to pander to political views some of his consitutent share so I wouldn't take it personal. But make no mistake , trump share some strong views that many in america also agree with and should not be so readily discounted as rubbish. We are america we are imperfect but we will be strong together.

The new world order..where Pow's are trashed..Mexico will pay for a wall and bravery is Bone spurs dodging STDs? no thx...
Well feel free to abandon ship and move to which ever country you think don't have any of those issue and fit more closely with your priorities. Good luck. You will find that whilst america is not without problem, having lived in a third world country personally I would say these issue are not even worth breaking a sweat over. They will get resolve in time as we are constantly trying to make "America great Again" .
But back to the new world order and trade deals... Here's a good quote by the Chicago Tribune, an ardent anti trump media outlet... "Trump was announcing to the world that if you want to continue to have open access to America's multitrillion-dollar consumer market — and nearly every nation in the world, most of all China, needs that passport — you are going to play by rules that benefit Americans, abide by the rule of law and promote American security interests."

Putin and Kim jong are your friends ..Canada is you enemy...Remember your training........
LOL calm down , we are establishing or more corectly re-establishing the new world order. Canada has never been an enemy, more like a little brother full of idealism and dreams because big brother scares away all the other potential bully in the yard. Big bro just need you to hurry up and sign the new deal that will help both of us work better with one another.

And Trump cried when Trudeau told him we wouldn't be pushed around. Wet his internet panties crying......
Remember Cult sheep love putin and hate Canada...
Unfortunately that is the president we elected so you will have to be careful about wetting any future internet panties. In all seriousness though I think Trump is simply using that as an excuse to play his admittedly heavy handed tactic, even if it was done for expediency. Look the sooner we renegotiate NAFTA and EU-NA trades the better so we can all put this feather ruffling chapter behind us. It is being done for the greater good.
Should Canada play the long game with Trump?

Eh national security concern is a wide sweeping umbrella under the president's power. Look if it makes you feel better all of us Americans feel bad about doing this to you but it's for the greater good. Just get your PM to hurry up and sign the new trade agreement. The faster you are on board with this the less issue this will make. Your national security is ours as well, we are one and the same so no need to have discord.
