Trump MAGAThread IV: Twixt Scylla & Some Bad Hombres

[Corrian]

So, how's that third Russian reset going?

Oh boy.

"Even Trump voters want the minimum wage increased"

Good to know there was more voting against their self interests. Doubt Trump is going to be helping along a minimum wage increase right now.

Normally I'd say yes given Trump's approach, but the general decades decline of the overall purchasing power from the minimum wagehas made the present living wage something of a more visible issue than it might have been two elections ago. I really don't think we will know before he presents policy on the issue.

So far I didn't see any meddling with war plan red.

War plan red was a secret contingency plan, in some hypothetical timeline. It was conditional on certain events happening first - namely, a war with Britain. It wasn't written up because our military leaders of the time wanted a war with Britain.

Trump's public position is that he wants to go in to Syria, and intervene to try to fix their situation for them. Right now, under current, non-hypothetical conditions.

If you can't see how that's a ridiculous false equivalence, I don't know how to help you.

Trump: "I want to intervene! Like really really badly!"
Nope, that doesn't sound interventionist at all.

Sorry, COA?

And again, this plan is close to being proposed. It's totally different. Don't let the title 'plan' fool you.

Are you part of the military decision making now to make that assumption?

COA means course of action.

I refer back to the article on that.

Obama: "I want to leave Iraq and Afghanistan really badly!"

Pss. We never left.

Have a read based upon military decision making.

Oh this is going to be the be best shitshow yet.

Obama: "I want to leave Iraq and Afghanistan really badly!"

"But Obama!"

Relevance to whether or not Trump's open desire to intervene is considered 'interventionist'?

Yeah, you might want to summarise. I'm a legalist, not a military man. I'll get to the specifics when my country calls up the reserves, thank you very much.

More like relevance to an open statement that never came true.

You'll need to read that particular one and two more (With additional classes) to understand military decision making.

But if you understand it so well, you will be happy to explain it all in detail, right? Lest I will be forced to ask the same in-depth study from you the next time we take about the law.

I laughed as well.

Still, just about the only thing less popular than Trump is the mainstream media so it might have been an opportune time for this fight. Popcorn to follow regardless.

An open statement of intent.

How does intending to intervene not make one interventionist?

You think I'm going to explain to you 3 months worth of classes in one paragraph? Tough luck. The page I presented summarizes the key points in the brief.

Do you think I'm going to read, apparently, 3 months of classes, or take your word on it? I'm really not doing either.

The point stands, the Trump administration is dangerously close to sending ground troops to Syria, both based on Trump's rhetoric and the Pentagon's planning.

Its hard to watch honestly.
A President trying to discredit the media so much is a bad omen. All functioning democracies need some form of media to hold the Government to account.

Unless you are a pentagon official that is working with the current plans for Syria civil war your statement is false.

[Salandriagado]

It would be highly entertaining if most of the people who bought tickets to Trumps rally tomorrow were protesters.

Protesting against someone buy giving them money has always seemed rather counterproductive to me.

I'm siding with Uxo here. Planning is just what the military does when it's not fighting, sometimes while it is fighting

Sure, but preferably less shitty ones than CNN, MSNBC, ect.

I got no problem with these two dogs going against each-other. It would be simplistic to take this as an attack on the idea of an independent media, however much CNN will attempt to make that portrait.
