Transparency

NATO is working to keep Russia from taking over all its neighbors.

Trump wants us to 1) let them have ukraine, and 2) stop suporting the other nations who haven't paid dues - several of which, russia is ready to invade.

President Trump = Russia taking over 5 new countries during his reign.  Communism grows.  

Which countries Russia wants to invade and why  


Zhirinovsky has suggested taking over the Baltics and turning them into massive nuclear waste dump site but even he doesn't want to occupy them per se.

Yes, we do. And you are still are ignoring my Ukraine post.

My entire belief system is the USA should be the #1 superpower.

your belief that a stronger RUS and CHINA benefits us is completely not what I believe. 

I can't agree with that.   Respectfully, i just can't.  I don't want any other superpowers.  Russia annexes 5 countries in the next ten years and yes, they're a new beast to deal with.

Please elaborate: what are those 5 countries and what are the reasons behind Russia annexing them (I notice you started to talk about annexing after you realized USA has invaded and occupied more countries than Russia during the past 20 years).

Historically, strong allies, and strong enemies, results in peace, or at least no major war. During the cold war, we never got to full tilt nuclear confrontation, because, both we, and the Soviets were strong. There were some peripheral wars, but none touched the USA territory proper, nor the Soviet Union territory proper.

And you are still ignoring my post that explains the Ukraine problem clearly.

Why does the USA have ambitions in Asia?

[mass243]

I think 240 just had his personal "Aleppo -moment" when asked which countries and why Russia would annex.

Why does the USA have ambitions in Asia?

No. The question was what are the USA ambitions in Asia? And why?

Earnest: Obama Ran the Most Transparent Administration in History

Please, be serious.

From the Washington Examiner:

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest expressed annoyance that President Obama doesn’t get enough credit for being the “most transparent” president in history.

When asked by CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday about journalists’ complaints that the federal government isn’t efficient at answering FOIA requests, Earnest said they’ve made progress with the requests over the eight years.

Earnest added that there is really “no constituency in American politics for transparency in government beyond journalists.”

He added: “If this constituency of journalists are gonna be effective advocates for the issue that they care about, they need to remember that they have a responsibility not just to criticize those who are not living up to their expectations.

Looks like Earnest is trying to work on his own legacy issues. Meantime, the Weekly Standard wrote Sunday about how the White House tried to hide that it is letting Iran cheat on the nuclear deal.
