I'm fully aware of that. I haven't suggested Russia isn't a threat. I'm deriding his argument that Russia could "win", dismantle NATO and lap up the whole of Eastern Europe (or even part of it) anytime in the near or far future. (Okay, the far future is the far future, but in something like the next 30 to 40 years)
Like the Russian guy said. Trump will be more of a problem internally than externally. Hillary will be business as usual times 100 because all the SJWs are going to give her a free pass because having a vagina makes everything she does progressive, even if it borders on criminality (like blindly rubber stamping weapon deliveries to "peaceful rebels" who mysteriously transformed into ISIS).
But seriously. Theoretically, Gary Johnson has enough support to pull off an electoral cockblock. In which case congress decides who becomes president. And they hate Trump and the republicans have the majority right now so they certainly aren't going to pick Hillary.
Support Johnson and you can save the world.
Idiocy. Stupid, ignorant idiocy.
American President, no matter what his policies on paper are, will have to engage with the world. Because US is the worlds only superpower. Reality compells Presidents.
Just as Obama came in to the office with promises that he will bring forth nuclear-free world, his presidency ends with a spending spree on the nuclear triad.
Just as Obama came in to the office with promises that US will get out of the Middle East, his second term has seen surge of US attention and forces in to the Middle East.
Rhethoric and policies are irrelevant. Especially when it comes to the American presidency, which by design, is the least potent position of power in the West.

And the last wall comes tumbling down. For all your rhetoric, your naked anti-Americanism, finally on display for all to see, is as basic as it comes.
Where were our F-22s? Ask Barack Obama, who has handcuffed Generals in the region for 8 years. The problem is at the top. It has nothing to do with the US or the US Military. It has everything to do with the guy Hillary is replacing and the weird things he believes.
Trump is a dangerous idiot for the party. But he could very well be a useful idiot if they stroke his ego. I wouldn't expect Johnson to play Republican ball so I don't expect him to get picked.
He also has to not get edged out by Stein in the battle for third place if you want that shit to not blow up in your face. They aren't going to pick Clinton or Stein in that line up. Guaranteed.
It's just amazing how we have managed to squander the peace that Gorbachev and Reagan negotiated less than 3 decades ago.
Just fucking amazing...

Lots of countries have border walls. In fact there's already a fence along most of the US/Mexico border, Which is why the idea is laughable considering all of the illegal immigrants get in by over-staying tourist visas and would get past the wall anyways.
Looking at Europe right now...Stop/extremely reduce immigration from "problematic" (= Muslim) countries.
The nukes part is dumb. But like any other quote of his the media is probably taking it completely out of context.... Either way, stomping ISIS makes more sense than taking out Assad who is pretty much the last secular influence in the middle east. If Assad goes, nobody is taking out ISIS.Stomp ISIS, with nukes if it needs to be.
More out of context bullshit. He's talking about ending the trade deficit with China by renegotiating... which right now, your current relationship with China is; Sell off natural resources to China. China turns natural resources into shitty consumer products. US buys shitty consumer products. China wins. They buy your resources, then they get their money back by selling you goods that you don't need, and break after 2 days.End trade deals, take on China.
That's not a sustainable economy. You're getting ripped off hard. The US has a colossal trade deficit with China and it's entire economy is an over-inflated bubble getting ready to explode.
