This coming week is where we all find out whether Donald J Trump is our President or Putin’s puppet. It all comes down to what happens next week when they hold their meeting at the G20 conference.
I hope Trump will do to Putin what he did to a mock CNN reporter in a video released last week – kick his ass. The Russians are our enemy, and have been for a long time. We don’t need them to help us fight terrorism. Hell, they got their asses kicked in Afghanistan, remember that?
Our long history with the Russians goes back to the end of World War 2. At the end of the war, we occupied some of the Axis territory. In the places we occupied, we established prospering democracies (Japan, W. Germany). In areas occupied by the Russians, they set up oppressive puppet regimes and enslaved the people. Not only that, they also planted missiles in Cuba, 70 miles off our coast. Their leaders said things like “We will bury you!” to America. They armed the Viet Cong. They supported all of our enemies. We lived in fear of a mutually destructive nuclear war because of their aggression.
Russia, even going back 1,000 years, has always been oppressive to their neighbors.
But the main thing that pisses me off at them is that they tried to interfere with our elections by hacking voter systems in at least 31 states. To me, that is an act of war. This is certainly no time to be kissing their asses.
Not to mention that the Russians are backing Assad in Syria; have seized territory in Ukraine and the Crimea; are against NATO; and have interfered in elections of our allies.
While I’m mentioning NATO, let me say that it has been the most successful multinational agreement in human history. Prior to NATO, a war broke out every 20-30 years in Europe going back many centuries. Since NATO, nada. None. Zip. NATO keeps the bad guys, like Putin, in check. Trump ought to tell Putin that not only is NATO here to stay, but that we’re thinking of making it even bigger and badder than ever!
Putin is a very bad man. He assassinates people in his country and around the world on a regular basis. He and his cronies have robbed that country to make themselves rich.
Trump needs to tell that commie dictator that he had better call off his dogs, or expect an ass whipping. Period. It is time to issue a smackdown the Russians, and the only guy who can do that is our President.
If he fails to do so, it will prove to the world that he has no balls and does not deserve to lead this great country.
