Will Trump destroy NATO?
Aristides replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
If a US bound cargo flight gets blown out of the air, doing nothing will be problematic. He's the prez, he won't be able to ignore it. On the other hand, if Trump abandons Ukraine, the US will no longer be a target. Seems to me that Putin has more chips in this game than Trump. -

Kim Campbell = Kamala Harris
Aristides replied to August1991's topic in Canada / United States Relations
Went to high school with her. Smart, very popular, excelled at everything she did, first female class president in the schools 50 year history. Anything but an elitist. Though maybe not a real politician. -

At that point, the Mulrooney government was so unpopular any successor was going to get creamed. Just like JT today. -
Trump says he can end the war. How? He can pull the rug out from under Ukraine but what can he do to Russia that the US hasn't already done short of military force. My guess is he will do the former. Either the rest of NATO will have to step up even more or Ukraine will be toast and the US will be seen as an unreliable ally.

Of course it's possible, it will benefit those with the most money. We have seen it in BC where foreign speculators have bought multiple units and they sat empty. They get the GST break and the person who actually ends up buying the place to live in will end up paying tax. I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I think it could be good if done right, just that it seems like another PP ism that is just thrown out there with no indication that it has been properly thought through. He won't be able to get away with that if he is PM, he will be responsible for the consequences, good and bad.

If you can't say you read it, what else am I supposed to think?
-
I read it. You still won't say you have. I have to think you are just repeating what someone else is telling you.
-
But you still won't say you read it. Well, I'm 78 and have had all the boosters so I guess I'm screwed.
-
I never said anything about the NCI, as a matter of fact, I don't even remember hearing about it. That said, it will be interesting to compare the two. You still haven't read the bill.

Without solid security guarantees that will be enforced, there is no point in Ukraine to agreeing to anything because only a m*ron would expect Putin to respect them. The Ukrainians aren't id*ots, considering the previous "guarantees" were fairy tales.

Do you think Kamala will be mad
Aristides replied to Fluffypants's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
He called them every name in the book, made up a bunch of crap and threatened them with jail. Trump started it when he came down that escalator in 2015 and called Mexicans, murderers and rapists. He never changed. -

Bullshit. -

Counter perceived injustice with more of the same. Just keep making it worse. There's a plan. Maybe It's time for someone to take a step back and try to unite people instead of driving them farther apart. Trump will never be the person to do that, he has no idea how, or any desire to do it. -

Putin has done far more to increase NATO defence spending than anything Trump has done. -

Worked for the Nazis. Like the country needs more revenge and division. -
I never said that, just that Republican fiscal responsibility is a myth, they are no better and often worse than the Democrats.
-
Reagan and Trump were responsible for huge increases in debt. The last president to balance a budget was Clinton. Republican fiscal responsibility is a myth.

I don't. You are a real estate speculator with bags of cash, you jump in and buy new units with no GST, then turn around and sell them to first time buyers who have to pay the GST. I'm not saying this is a bad idea, just that it needs a lot more explanation. That's the problem with PP, long on slogans, short on details.

They aren't trying to learn, they are trying to influence. If that happens, the US won't be leading NATO anymore. -

Nothing to do with wanting to immigrate to Palestine. How many Sikh Americans who support Khalistan independence want to live there? How many Irish Americans who supported the IRA want to move to Ireland? How many Cuban Americans would move back if the present government was replaced?
