Is this some sort of odd way to try and con his base into think he is making the US money? Or is he just a blithering idiot who has no fucking clue how NATO defense spending commitments work.

This is deeply disturbing. The Merkel part that is (the Paris agreement is just supposition at this point).
I'm actually not opposed to trying to improve relations with Russia (Obama wanted to and Trump obviously does too -- that's fine) BUT you can't go do that at the expense of our closest allies. We are alienating who should be our greatest ally in the Western world. 5/28/2017 11:25:49 AM |

It's part of the Bannon philosophy for the us to pull back from being a world player, so I think this Merkel statement is a welcome outcome. I think Merkel might just be using bellicose rhetoric to help her election too, but she might be making a mistake with this stance because it paves the way for a extremist to coopt this rhetoric and take it even farther, and we all know where that lead in the past...
Either way, I don't see how this doesn't add a good health dash of instability to the world over the next 10 years.
If someone sees a way this creates more stability, please explain... 5/28/2017 1:06:02 PM |

We have decent science and space cooperation with Russia, obviously trade energy with them.

So Kushner, who I think is as dumb as Trump but just is shielded by wealth, convinced him to fire comey.
I really wonder what other dumb things Trump has been doing that dumb people are convincing Trump are good ideas...?
And shouldn't we be very concerned Trump is putting so much power into his unelected children? People assumed Trump had some business acumen (that never was demonstrated) and he would somehow recruit the best experts... But his experts are sycophants recommended by his family and friends. 5/29/2017 1:13:34 AM |

Trump can't change things at home so he is changing things outside and changing the world, as it is easier for a POTUS to affect foreign policy than domestic.

The implication was clear and the President clearly took it that way if you believe his tweets this morning. As did Merkel's political rival yesterday who was even more pointed.
He is just such a novice when it comes to how trade and economics works that maybe his comments should just be completely written off instead of being taken as attacks on allies. It's just hard to do that given his position.5/30/2017 11:17:33 AM |

possibly that the US and Britain are letting Germany be truly at the helms of continental Europe again for the first time since 1945, and that Germans need to be prepared to support the cost of defending their European empire against an increasingly belligerent Russia?

I believe every nation that has the means to protect them (basically the means to develop them) should be allowed to have nuclear weapons. I think it is the best path to permanent world peace. If it works for India/Pakistan, it should work everywhere. If only Iraq and Libya had nuclear weapons before we set our eyes on their countries... 5/30/2017 9:00:29 PM |

I'm not happy with the decision but I found out this would happen a year ago and have had enough time to get over that initial anger.
1. The decision to make a non-binding agreement is what I was angry with. Making a non-binding agreement was basically asking for this day. I'm sure the perpetrators knew this, but they had to leave Paris with a "win"- something to pat themselves on the back over and get a short-term bump in the polls.
2. The decision to make pledges to keep warming to 3 degrees when the IPCC clearly gave them a goal of 1.5 degrees is what I was angry with. If someone tells you what you have to do to prevent a catastrophe, you don't do half of it and champion yourselves as saviours. This point is irrelevant though because even a perfect deal would be pointless if it's non-binding.
-The end of a fake deal is nothing to be angry about. The only people angry are the people (typically Democrats) who didn't read into enough to understand that it wasn't actually what it was hyped up to be and the politicians who no longer have the "win" to brag about. I can't really blame the politicians on this one because their constituents want that. Kind of like how most Americans want to switch their light bulbs, say they are green, and move on. Some go as far as driving a brand new prius but its very rare to find Americans who want to make actual sacrifices.
I still don't understand why people get mad at a politician for doing exactly what he ran on and was elected to do. I would understand being mad at the American people for this, or the deceptive politicians, but this is pretty straight forward. I guess Democrats don't understand that after 8 years of championing a president for "kinda sorta barely" dabbling in most of the things he promised.
His justification is pretty much true. He told very few lies today and the major about this being a disadvantage to American workers and economy was completely true. I think that is the issue most important to the American people. Its the American people I don't like but I'm over it and didn't just learn this. Anyone who knows any period of American history should be used to the values of this country by now. 6/1/2017 4:24:31 PM |

So I haven't read anything about the Paris Climate Accord yet.
But here's what I don't understand based on that caveat: If the agreement held no one to any penalties, that is, if the agreement was toothless, why exactly was it so urgent to pull out?
I would presume that if the agreement had no teeth, it was more symbolic in nature and designed to help convince people over the next decade or two that it was an issue that needed to be addressed and that over time, subsequent agreements would have actually had "teeth."
So if the agreement was good and had teeth, we're leaving because they don't believe science. And if the agreement was good but had no teeth, we're leaving because somehow the thing that would never penalize us was not fair to us?
I'm just not following the logic. 6/1/2017 5:05:12 PM |
