Trump MAGAthread II: Donald and Mike go to the White House

[Kravanica]

Why do people believe that the only alternative to licking Russia's balls is war?

It's called diplomatic manuevering.

Why do people conflate trying to not be enemies with a country equate to ball licking?

There's a fine line between "trying to not be enemies" and appointing a man with such blatant ties to the Russian government as Secretary of State.

How many Presidents squeed over the leader of Russia like a Japanese schoolgirl?

I would be genuinely entertained if you could show me footage of Donald Trump squeeing like a schoolgirl.

I read that trump didn't like him because he has a moustache.

but I think he chose tillerson because of his Russian connections.

Well its no secret that Trump has a hardon for Putin. I really think Trump believes that he can cut deals and get along with these governments. I mean, he appointed the Chinese dictator's best American friend as ambassador to China.

is that true? I don't know anything about.... ok I forgot who he is appointing.

"I think Putin has been a very strong leader for Russia, certainly stronger than our leader <for America>"

I fail to see or hear any squeeing in that statement. In fact, he's got a very salient point, one which I wholeheartedly agree, that Putin does everything he does for the benefit of Russia. America under Obama and indeed many presidents before him, has made decisions that do more for other countries than ourselves. America should only look out for its own self interest.

Like it did meddling in other countries such as in Chile and Iran?

Doesn't that make infinite sense though? A person with the most experience and best relationship with the government in question only makes sense as the choice for ambassador. You wouldn't pick an ambassador to China that calls them commies or g**ks or something.

oh what a shame it would be if they held up the suckification of the country!

It is indeed a shame if to prevent the will of a democratic election from being enacted.

Ha. 'Democratic election'. That's funny.

Havent had a laugh like that in a while.

As for your second point, thats a very selfish and unfortunate view. All countries should act in concert. The national interest of course comes first, but one shouldnt ignore the rest of the world.

Don't worry. He's nominated like 19 people already. Here you go.

Hurting back other countries for self interest is something all imperial countries have done, and what they should realize through experience is that it never turns out well. America hurt its self interest in the long term in Iran.

You don't seem to understand that these countries don't have our best interests at heart. We need people who will further our interests and not the interests of Russia or China.

you are so good to me!

i couldn't figure out if being friends with xi meant he has known him a long time or that they are actually friends.

that's a good sign, eh? trump has been so bellicose when it comes to china.

Well, what he views as beneficial to Russia anyway.

As for your second point, thats a very selfish and unfortunate view. All countries should act in concert. The national interest of course comes first, but one shouldnt ignore the rest of the world.

No, it's a sane and logical view that is the only way to guarantee national survival. All countries cannot act in concert, because many of their self interests are diametrically opposed. The US helping a country in god knows where by sending our men to die there to fight their wars for them, or sending our tax money there to build schools that just get blown up - not only is it directly hurting the USA through lost lives of good men and lost money, it more often than not makes us even more reviled and comes back to bite us in the butt.

The real unfortunate view is the virtue signalling and national sacrifice policy of Obama and many of his predecessors, that ends up in an "America Last" foreign policy.

What was that about China killing us in trade again?

Anytime!

Trump's a bit bipolar. One second he's on a Twitter rant against the Chinese. The next second he's appointing Xi's friend as ambassador to China.

Personally two of his picks so far are pretty exceptionally good such as Mattis and John Kelly. He is still missing some appointees though such as the VA for example.

I feel that Obama and his predecessors were trying to move from a bilateral foreign policy to a multilateral one that benefits all countries.

However, bilateralism is the way the world has been working since the Cold War, not sure if it'll change any time soon.

He just announced his pick for the VA.

Benefitting all countries is intrinsically impossible, because the interests of most countries are diametrically opposed to the interests of other countries.

Very interesting pick to say the truth.

An incredibly naïve policy is what it was.
