Trump is getting 'advice' on who would do well in what position from some bad sources obviously, or he's just finding out what others were fooled by all along.

Holy shit you are unendingly retarded. He is either great at everything, or just receiving bad advice from terrible people? How about if he was as great as you claim, he wouldn't need the advice? Or we would surround himself by people that give good advice, because you claimed he was great at hiring...you actually said he is great at hiring and firing. ...how fucking stupid do you think the rest of us are? Do you just not care how blatantly you troll?

Have you posted a single argument on these forums that has a fundamental basis of fact--something like an argument, or a point? I can't recall a single statement you have made that isn't a simple assertion of assumption and fantasy. Nothing you have said can't be devastated by a cursory examination of the facts of the issue.

Our 'allies' will throw us under the bus at the drop of a hat and never look back. When did one of our allies come to the rescue of the US?

NATO never came to our rescue because we haven't been attacked. When was the last time we went to war with Russia when they expanded into other countries?

When the Sr. Bush who had a grasp of foreign policy vastly superior to the current administration called for help in Desert Storm, an elective war as they all have been since Pearl Harbor, our allies answered.

So our allies as they exist in the modern world never rescued us because they never had to and when called upon they've answered. It does not mean if we are the aggressors that they are compelled to support wrongful actions. Only fools follow madmen.

The key player is Trump, and he is here today and still here tomorrow.

He's a Traitor to God; a Traitor to his country; and a Traitor to the human race.

Anyone who supports Putin's puppet is a Quisling.

The entity that benefits most with the Traitor's dismantling of the State Department is the Kremlin.

Lord only knows the damage that pig will do before November. And there's no dead certainty that November will bring salvation.

Sooner or later, McConnell and Ryan, with their following in Congress, will be forced to make a choice: Continue supporting the Traitor, or save the country from him.

I disagree with your premise.

Didn't the terrorism of 9/11 lead the US to trigger article 51 and have NATO join in the invasion of Afghanistan?

FTFY. Perhaps my cynicism is showing, but to have allowed Trump's clown car to get anywhere near the White House IMO is sufficient evidence that they're only interested in wielding power ASAP for their own ends.

You don't seem to have a clue on any american history if you have to ask that question.

Just to name a few to make it easy for you. Canadians risked their lives to get the remaining Iran state dept staff out, remember they even made a movie about it, Duh. Australia and many others fought with us side by side in WWII in the pacific, Doh! France well with their input into the revolutionary war we became who we are, the USA, Duh!. They even made a movie about that DuH!

Duh.

As very obvious with Nunes I think most of them are deadly aware that they are well beyond the point of no return... they are going down with the ship cause no alternative.

Maybe you better check in to the psych ward . . . .

If the Republic survives the Traitor-in-Chief, then hopefully the Republic-ans won't. If Lincoln were a politician today, he'd be a Democrat.

Just on the personal side, I'm sure you can appreciate what it was like for me growing up, sitting on the floor at age five watching Truman and MacArthur's farewell speech. A lot of the folks who were hawks through the Vietnam era were chastising us "youngsters" to get on the anti-Commy, Anti-Russian bandwagon. So the Trump presidency reminds me of the glib and gut-splitting remark about Ellie Iselin in Condon's Manchurian Candidate: " . . . She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Daughters of the Mayflower, . . . . the Republican Party and the American Communist Party. . . . "

The Russians dumped their old ideology, but the Cold War never stopped.

Also notice again the content of Alpha One's responses: "I disagree with your premise . . . " But there is no cogent argument.

And if you go back to 2015 and through the campaign, there was never any debate about this new, re-new-ed geopolitical challenge. When did you ever hear one of Trump's supporters give a cogent argument about anything? Or provide a cogent proposal about anything?

They just hate America as long as the rest of us are in it. Then, they call us the "haters."

My parents had tears in their eyes over MacArthur's farewell. And I was about the same age.

Tillerson was a really shitty SoS who killed morale & basically forced the resignations of key personnel. It's good that he's out. Pompeo, otoh, is an ideological toady who likely won't do any better.

It's just musical chairs in the clown car.

Tillerson may have been the second worse SoS in this administration but he got fired for pointing out realities and fighting for some positive relations with US allies. Trump need not fear this sort of duplicity from Pompey. He'll make sure that any efforts to prevent horrible consequences are foiled.

As I said, I'll do that when I believe that I need to do what a faceless fool on the internet says I should do. That still stands.

. . . Sitting in front of the black-and-white tube TV that required the repairman coming to the house as much as once a month. Crusader Rabbit, Captain Video, and on the more sophisticated side -- Ed Murrow.

MacArthur had a similar personality trait to Trump's, but it wasn't an extreme disorder. His mother's name was "Pinky," he was an only child if I'm correct, and she probably doted on him. Eisenhower said "I learned dramatics from him."

I also suspect his remarks about using nukes on the Asian Mainland, in conjunct with an armistice without a peace treaty, have contributed to the nuke obsession over three generations of Kims.

But Trump is no MacArthur. MacArthur saved lives. He didn't take refuge in "bone spurs." He was a gentleman. It's probably just a good thing that he lost his presidential bid.

His father's Civil War heroism on Missionary Ridge probably helped get him into West Point, but he was nevertheless brilliant. During the New Guinea Campaign, he wrote 1,000 pages of battle plans in a matter of weeks. Compare that to 140-word Tweets of drivel, an inability to read national security briefings or even compose a single essay as an op-ed.

Old soldiers never die -- they just fade away.
