In the hours after President-elect Trump tweeted about his desire to expand American nuclear weapons capability — seeming to upend decades of consensus that fewer nukes is better — experts puzzled about what he meant, his own aides seemed to walk his comment back, and Trump himself weighed in to suggest that the most extreme reading of his tweet was the right one.

Putin was like, "How is this news? Trump already mentioned this before during the Primaries."

Lol, the news are making such a big deal out of nothing.

And Putin was more like, "Meh, Trump can stock up as many weapons as he wants, we are cutting down and not focus on that! We gonna work on more missile defense technology instead!"

The whole Putin and Trump relationship is gonna be like so bromance! I can tell Putin is very amused by Trump.

Well, Trump and Putin are certainly on the same train as far as their understanding that a society exists only in purpose to benefit of the select few.

We would laugh at somebody saying "I'm going to buy more TVs" when he already has 20 of them and can hardly pay his electric bill to begin with.

But that's essentially the situation existing as Trump states his intention with nukes

Which is why Trump is looking at areas to cut cost. See how he attacking the plane makers now, to pit them against each other to lower costs.
He got Boeing to promise that the new air force one will not exceed 4 billion dollars. Initially, it could have.

Presented here: Just another example of "Yellow Journalism" where the headline doesn't match the facts, contained in the very article.

Trump has made much bigger noise about cutting revenues than cutting costs, and been almost as enthusiastic in proclaiming where he will significantly increase costs, as in this instance..

Understand basic accounting.

The most salient fact in the the very article is that the US has 1,300 missiles locked and loaded as it stands, which is at least 1,000 nukes above and beyond what it would take to destroy Russia and China both.

All it would take is ~ 20 nukes on the US to completely change our world, so I think this is the one area where the former economic communism countries are more efficient than corporate slave countries.

Oh really?

And on Friday, Trump himself weighed in again, saying in a statement to "Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC: "Let it be an arms race. We will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all."


So what did this mean, rat asshole?

It's unclear what prompted the statement. Earlier Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his desire to strengthen Russia's nuclear forces, but experts say Putin says such things on a near­ weekly basis.

"We need to strengthen the military potential of strategic nuclear forces, especially with missile complexes that can reliably penetrate any existing and prospective missile defense systems," Putin said.

Seems pretty fucking clear to me. Trump called Putin's bluff.

Which is pretty funny when a couple of our resident rightards thought the most objectionable thing about Clinton was that she was more likely to cause a war with Russia than the cockwomble.

And Putin? He gets a pass? No reason to discuss that when it's easier to just piss about Trump, right?

Careful now, that exact sentiment is growing more and more mainstream. After all, we have elected a Jew Nazi KKK Fuhrer now, with both houses of congress being Gestapo Jews just like him

Just ask any alt left tool, he will tell you

And now he wants a Cold War era nuclear arms race.

How much you figure that's gonna save?
