Donald Trump's actual intentions toward Russia, and whether he prioritizes improving ties with Moscow over supporting America's traditional interests, will become apparent shortly after he takes office in January, when he'll decide how to follow through on his predecessor's promise for military force.

A battalion of U.S. forces, roughly 1,000 troops, is scheduled to deploy to Poland early in 2017 as a part of the European Reassurance Initiative, a broad plan the Obama administration developed to deter Russia. The multi-billion-dollar scheme, coordinated with NATO, also involves Britain, Germany and Canada each sending equal numbers of troops to the three Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, bolstered by smaller deployments from other member states, like Croatia.

Status: offline 		Trump Says U.S. Should Expand Nuclear Capability

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s Twitter message could signal a break from decades of efforts to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in American defense.

It may have been a response to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who called for continued improvement of his country’s nuclear abilities.

Well of course it was a response to Putin. And as discussed in other threads, it was even disseminated in what has become the standard White House Press Release for the Trump Administration-as a tweet.

Thing is, if we don't keep our treaties, why would anyone negotiate with us?

A thousand troops ?

Doesn't mean jack shit.

You are just rabble rousing. A fucking thousand troops ? Are you kidding ? If you think it means anything you are a dope. Get back on the guitar or whatever. And if you think it doesn't mean anything and are just stirring the pot you are even worse.

A thousand troops, god damn I could almost get a thousand troops up. Especially in the old days before so many died and got sick or whatever.

Buncha liberal shit.

T^T

You don't seem to be enjoying your victory as much as the other rightards in here, put it that way.

Status: offline 		Nuclear expansion and upgrade for both the US and Russia is front page news today. Given that the world's current nuclear regime cannot be used, why do we or anybody need this ?

Russia: Putin to further consolidate power for him, the Kremlin and Russian military.

US: the same and of course a very nice, VERY nice Christmas present for the Mil. Indust. Comp.

If there ever was a truly unique, ever increasing and prolifically joyful profit center for the capitalist, it is war, the threat of war and the supply of [its] necessary (and unnecessary) munitions. This is particularly that which requires billion$ to develop, build and maintain and...never be used.

Merry Christmas taxpayers. Or rather...thanks for the very merry Christmas for the military investor classes...taxpayers, you and your children, your grand children, their children and now...their children too. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.

I mean think of it, just where would US society at large be, without its great soon-to-be $700 billion annual, ridiculous, fiscal and operational fiasco otherwise known as the pentagon ? A whole lot richer.

Yeah, why would we bother to pass laws and treaties and such if presidents could just do whatever they want instead

The outrage

Hey now, don't bring GW Bush into this. We objective 'conservatives' [sic] know he had absolutely nothing to do with the problems we face today.

Emperor Putin - nuclear waffle
Comrade Strumpet - nuclear waffle

His scorched earth policy fascinates me..I absolutely expect the barking mad nutter to launch via twitter.

incidentally in the past i said it was 7000 destroyers of earths v 15,000...today i was reading it was about 7, 000 atoms a piece....seems like I am wee bity off somewhere - sweating of the bawsack excluded - or was that hurricane bawbag not making that up see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Bawbag

And it's exactly the point. If leaders aren't going to honor agreements, then there's no point in other nations bothering to reach agreement with us.
