Could just be a Russian troll farm employee spreading lies and hatred in order to widen the political dividide and subvert another election while promoting the most dangerously deluded individual in history as his personal candidate and savior.
I just find it humorous when everyone starts the sky screaming every single time Trump makes a statement like this. He’s not going to encourage Russia to attack anyone he just rightfully expects everyone else to start paying their fair share. Good grief.
So..... Donald Trump SAYS he is going to encourage Russia but we should NOT listen to his own words (the one that everyone supports for "keeping his promises") and should instead come to you so you can tell us which of his statements he is going try to do and which ones he is not going to do?
Words matter in international politics. By saying you defend an Allie you take away the deterrent that the alliance creates. He has consistently defended and praised Putin, Xi, and Kim. This is not a one time thing, it's fully in character with every other action he's taken.
Guys you need to look at the grain markets today. Russia has destroyed the wheat market with stolen Ukrainian grain. China has propped up the Brazilians and Argentinians with the price structure. Our dollar value is doing the rest.His statement today is just absolute off the rails batbonkers. It needs to be discussed and explained how bad this will be on the average American on every oped. In every political talk show. It is one of the most dangerous things a candidate let alone a former president has ever uttered. On a 1-10 scale of Joe confusing Mexico and Egypt this is an 11.5.
One of the most often cited reasons for voting for Trump is he follows through on his promises.
If this becomes official US policy world markets will crash. Russia and Iran will dominate and threaten world energy markets.
I cannot believe this is just being ho hummed about.
It’s what politicians do. Do the other NATO nations need to pull their weight? Yes, they sure do and that is the point he is trying to make. Is Trump going to be allowed to encourage countries to attack the ones that don’t? Nope, regardless of what he says. I assume that you would be in the camp of “Trump lies all the time “ so why do you suddenly think he’s being truthful all of a sudden. I told my wife this morning that if she didn’t get moving I was going to go to church without her. She sped things up a little and we were early for church. We both knew that I wasn’t going without her. Trump shot his mouth off (which is like a Tuesday these days) and people in this thread have world markets crashing and WW3 at our doorstep. It’s ridiculous.
Think about who you are dealing with here and act accordingly.

Give an example. Show me another president or even front-running candidate who has said something like "I'll encourage Russia to attack a NATO country."
