  15. Asking Trump about foreign policy is like asking a parrot for directions.

  16.  @jackflash6377  I will spell it out. More heat, more demand. And my beef with climate denial, is that like most science denial, it’s politically based. Its the same people who whined about Covid science. You pick and choose what you’ll believe in, as if gravity was optional.

  66. Couldn’t make it as dem so he went full conspiracy and now has crazies from both parties. We don’t need another science denial president, nor one who cozies up to Putin. Reagan and JFK are spinning in their graves on his Russia naïveté.

  77. Biggest myth going. No modern democracy has ever prevented a dictatorship with an armed uprising. Doesn’t happen. The real threat to democracy is violent right wing, per jan 6.
    1
  78.  @1stsampan  like I said no modern democracy
    1
  79.  @1stsampan  none I can think of, which is why guns as deterrent for dictatorship is myth.
    1
  80.  @1stsampan  that can all be accomplished with strict gun laws. I grew up with guns, but the negatives of easy access are a cancer at this point. They’re vying with car accidents for leading cause of child mortality.
    1
  81.  @1stsampan  check states w tough gun laws v those without, we’re not Jamaica or Mexico, we’re an industrialized superpower. We’re not going to agree on this, but something needs to change. Gun deaths have climbed right next to auto deaths for top killer of children. That’s not civilization to me.

  82.  @1stsampan 9 of top 10 murder states are Red. We're not gonna agree.

  83. Cryptocurrency is a good idea? So far seems great for scammers and criminals. He’s also in conflict with every president since WW2 about being soft on Russia, a foreign policy disaster.
    1
  84. ​ @Oldfarmlady  Unfortunately we can't throw all wars into the bin of 'forever wars'. Iraq and Afghanistan were both disasters that never, ever should have been started. Supporting Ukraine against our nuclear armed superpower enemy, a Russian dictatorship, is a policy that both Republicans and Democrats have followed since WW2. The result has been the fall of the USSR and freeing of Eastern Europe and many former Soviet states like Ukraine, Lithuania, Georgia etc. from communist tyranny. The same is true in the far East. We have troops in Japan and S Korea, two of the worlds strongest, most prosperous democracies, precisely to ward off Russian or Chinese aggression. If Kennedy (or Trump) were president and pulled our troops out of Europe, out of Japan, or gave up on Ukraine, we can almost be certain that the Russians would bully/attack Europe and the Chinese would take Taiwan and bully its neighbors. At that point we'd be faced with the real possibility of a WW3 nuclear disaster. The route to world peace lies in the spread of democracy and like it or not we guarantee much of the world's freedom. It's expensive, but it's a price we've been paying ever since WW2 to avoid WW3. Up until Trump, both parties had agreed on this issue. America is a rich country. I believe the problems we have at home can be solved if average American salaries go up, and CEO pay comes down.

  96. Trump thrives on ignorance- they’re eating cats and dogs.
    1
  97. The cost of climate change denial is high.
    1
  98. Randy’s an isolationist, the same policy that led to WW 2. Russia under Putin is one of our biggest threats, one we spend zillions to defend against. Any chance to weaken Putin is a step closer to making Russia a democracy and saving us those zillions. It’s pay now or pay more later.

  99. The right built the FBI. Didn’t them whining when it was movie stars and MLK getting the sharp end. Hilarious.

  101. Who’s gonna pick vegetables and do the dirty work?

  102. Let’s see, we don’t want to be dependent on foreign companies, especially China for microchips. Both parties agreed on it, but once again bloated ego knows better because it didn’t happen on his watch. Stupid and selfish don’t begin to describe Trump’s faults.
    1
  103. The GOP seem to have forgotten they’re the ‘law and order’ party. Not so happy when there boy got multiple indictments. And hey Jim, Wray was appointed by the Donald. The clown show continues.

  111. Lost respect when he blamed mass shootings on Prozac, autism on vaccines, went stupid on Ukraine.

  112. Paul has either forgotten how isolationists like him were against fighting WW2 or he never knew. RR is spinning in his grave over this naive idiocy, along with JFK.

  113. DeSantis will not look good in history after all his climate denial.
    1
  114. Y’all and your gun rights are some sad stuff

  115. Trump's Valentine Card to Putin. The US built NATO to prevent WWIII. PIck up a history book. Reagan and JFK are spinning in their graves after going toe to toe with Russia.
    1
  116. Serves Rubio right for sucking up to orange bobble head. How are we going to own Gaza? Pretty much Trumps dumbest idea yet and that’s a high bar.

  124. Poor RFK jr, kicked out of prep schools still got into Harvard (?). Now he's found a home as a stooge for the GOP.

  125. Trump is soft on Russia, unlike any other US prez and clueless on Israel.
    1
  126. Republicans have a short memory when it serves them. The FBI has long been in the business of riding herd on hippies, civil rights activists (MLK) and progressives in general. To see a Republican, Trump appointed Director being harangued by his own party for ‘bias’ straight out of Monty Python. The party of law and order suddenly not happy with either.

  127. Crazy dog1, crazy dog 2 and old dog.

  128. We know all the trash talking, Putin praising that led up to this. Rubio sold his soul for a cabinet spot, now wants a treat for being a good fog.

  129. Abolish the FBI? Raise the voting age? Cave to a murderous tyrant? Another mini Trump opportunist with little regard for reality.

  130. The GOP churning out hustlers. Let’s defund the FBI? Climate change a hoax? Vivek candidacy is one giant hoax.
    1
  131. It's one thing to wonder, it's another thing for an influencer to tweet about it. Like Trump, he can never get enough attention.
    1
  132. Not a penny to the Ukraine? Who do think our nukes are aimed at? Yeah Russia (and China). You think it’s cheap maintaining the world’s most powerful military? Why do we do it? To prevent WW3. Ronald Reagan understood and brought down the USSR JFK understood, in fact every president since Truman had backed a strong stance against Russian aggression and dictatorship. Think about that. You want to roll the dice that all those presidents were wrong?

  136. Friend to Snowden And Assad who poison gassed his own people. Oh, loves Russia too. Hand her the keys to national security?! She makes Hesgeth look like a treasure.
    1
  137. Reagan supported NATO and brought down the Iron Curtain freeing half of Europe. We built NATO for a reason.
    1
  138. Trump's idea that the US is run like some kind of bank shows his complete lack of understanding of foreign policy. Can you argue that NATO members should pay more? Sure. But let's remember, we built NATO after WWII to prevent WWIII. Reagan knew this, JFK knew it, every president since has understood it. Trump is dangerously unqualified and simpleminded.

  143. Do some real work Kennedy and get LA some jobs, clean up the environment and fix your abominable education ranking.
    1
  144. I understand the impulse for Americans to say NATO is not paying their fair share. But, hey, we are talking about nothing short of maintaining world peace. We built NATO to prevent Russian aggression and a possible world war. We funded NATO and our military and helped free Eastern Europe from the USSR. This is not a Monopoly game and putting Trump in the White House on a revenge tour where he can suck up to Russia’s murderer-in-chief.

  169. Trump cares about one person only
    1
  170. Narcissists on parade

  171. Yes the border is a problem, but Russia has nuclear weapons trained on us, so paying Ukraine to degrade Putin’s tinpot regime is a cheap, effective policy. Reagan would have understood and so would JFK.

  177. Good question. Hope your voting for better gun laws because firearms have passed cars as #1 killer of kids.

  178. We paid reparations in the form of land, 1/2 million acres from SC to FL, after Civil War, then we took it back. That land today is worth roughly 1/2 trillion dollars.

  182. Height of hypocrisy for Trump, friend of Putin, pointing fingers at ‘terrorist helpers’. Oh what about Jan 6 rioters; I don’t think Khalil actually killed anyone.

  183. Let me know when Trump fixes something.

  186. World peace isn't on the line in Mexico.

  187. Why is it the GOP can’t appeal to new immigrants?
    1
  188. Rand is selling old school isolationism. If he'd paid attention in history class, he'd remember that America held back from getting into WW2 because 'it wasn't our fight'. That's how tyranny blooms. You wanna fast track WW3? Abandon NATO and pay homage to Putin.
    1
  189. I don't often agree with McConnell, but on the issue of standing up to Russia or China or Iran or N Korea, he is absolutely correct. These naive pundits and politicians trying to bail on the Ukraine seem to have forgotten a few critical historical lessons. Many Americans thought Hitler was a European problem and none of our business resulting in WW2. Our support for NATO and ongoing military spending helped bring the USSR to its knees and freed half of Europe. When did it become a good idea to support tyranny? Russians and Chinese citizens are fleeing their own countries to arrive in the US. The road to world peace lies through giving every human being the right to vote. Kowtowing to Putin or any other of these dictators is dangerously naive.

  190. Trump wants what Putin has, total control of a failed kleptocracy

  195.  MostMarvellousInformation  little thing called history. We didn’t win the Cold War sitting on our thumbs.

  196.  @chrisfry7198  Kennedy does not support US support for Ukraine. He attacked Biden today for speaking About it a D Day ceremonies. Sorry, but I don’t need ‘legacy media’ to tell me that no President other than Trump has reversed our policy of containment that’s stood from both parties since WW2. RFK jr knows better? Extremely dangerous egotism.
    1
  197. ​ @chrisfry7198  I don't need the 'legacy media' to tell me that no American president, Trump excepted, has ever gone soft on Russia resulting in the collapse of the USSR and freeing Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Republics from dictatorship. Putin fears democracy in Ukraine, we support it, as we always have. As for his idiotic anti science views, you can try to provide me with proof that autism is caused by vaccines or that antidepressants cause shootings or that tainted water causes gender dysphoria.
    1
  198.  MostMarvellousInformation  No prez, Trump excepted, has ever, ever gone soft on Russia resulting in the freeing of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet states. That's been a bipartisan policy since WW2. You explain to me how Kennedy blaming us for Ukraine's fight for democracy is a good idea.
    1
  199. This election cycle is a race to the bottom. Kennedy’s already there.
    1
  200. Neither fish nor fowl, just confused people voting for RFK jr. Part Bernie Sanders (good), part Trump (...). He's soft on Russia, which automatically disqualifies him because every US president with the exception of Trump has followed a policy of containment and degradation of both Russia and China since WW2. That freed all of Eastern Europe and many former Soviet states, including the Ukraine. To go soft on Russia is fantastically naive and potentially extremely dangerous for the balance of power. Add to that Kennedy's shoot from the hip 'ideas' about health issues and you have somebody unqualified for leadership. Period.

  201. Dimon is a pretend liberal, his paycheck is his moral compass.

  202. I can’t believe the dangerous ignorance of extreme conservatives. We built NATO, Reagan brought down the Iron Curtain and freed half of Europe, Russia has nukes aimed our way, every president since Truman has supported a tough stance on Russian dictatorships. What happens when Russia threatens Poland or Finland and then we have to reboot? Potential disaster.

  206. While I support many of Kennedy’s liberal positions, I do not support his right to spew misinformation. Deplatformed?

    1
  229.  @dwl3006  We agree on quite a lot. I’m no cheerleader for American military adventurism, but let’s get real about the reality of democracy, even our flawed version, vs Putin’s reign of quiet terror or China’s. They are not equivalent.   Democracies with a few exceptions rarely war on each other. The threats to world peace are autocratic. Our longstanding policy of containing and degrading Russian and Chinese power since WW2 has been mostly a resounding success-collapse of USSR and freedom for Easter Europe, guaranteed protection for Asian democracies. you seem a little complacent about China’s intentions, see Hong Kong. I believe we failed Russia during Glasnost but that ship has sailed. Afghanistan, Chechnya, Georgia and Ukraine are all on Putin’s watch. And I will claim that Dems do less ‘adventuring’ than the GOP, until they become isolationist which is even worse.
    1
  230. ​ @dwl3006  It's clear, and Mearsheimer and others are correct, that we helped ignite the Ukrainian war. But it's also hard to argue that Putin was ever going to stand by and let Ukraine become a functioning democracy leaning West on his doorstep. Mearsheimer's contention that we should buddy up with Putin to challenge China is strategically, not to mention morally questionable. And I disagree with his assessment that we've 'allowed' or abetted China's growth into a superpower. That was inevitable. I would say that a democratic Russia would be a far better strategic partner for us than Putin would ever be. I don't see how you can argue comparing us to Russia is 'irrelevant' when you agree that democracies are less likely to wage war. As for birthing democracies, the blood being shed right now is Ukrainian just like US blood was shed for our independence. France helped us (to screw over the English) and we're helping Ukraine to undermine a dictator. I do think it's time for negotiations; Ukraine can't win or produce enough soldiers (although they've demolished Russia's military rep) and Russia is never going to occupy Ukraine successfully. Strategically, however, I'd say American objectives and Europes have been served.

  232.  @dwl3006  It’s absolute naivete to think that dictatorships are not afraid of democracy. Tell that to Hong Kong, or Navalny, or the doctors, reporters, politicians and ‘friends’ that Putin has tossed out of third story windows. And if you want to argue in favor of Machiavelli, which has become a grey area in the contemporary world, it’s easy to make the case that the US by proxy has devastated both the Russian military (imagine the US held to a standstill by Canada or Mexico for 2 yrs) and Putin’s world standing while enlarging and bolstering support for NATO. And believe me China is not glad at this outcome. That is a win for the US, in Machiavellian terms. And if Korea was a legitimate war, then so was Vietnam. It just happened at a time when media coverage became a factor. Complexity. What would an ‘alliance’ with Putin look like? Are we going to sell him arms? Is he going to help us protect Taiwan? Russia cannot afford to antagonize 1.5 billion Chinese. Our use of ‘bad actors’ has usually been limited in scope (WW2) or ended in failure (the Shah of Iran , the Saudis). I get that you dislike American imperialism, there is plenty to dislike, but there is no one side-fits-all approach to world politics.

Reagan freed half of Europe when the Iron Curtain came down and the USSR folded. We just outspent the Russians on defense. World peace is threatened by dictatorships, especially the big ones, China and Russia. Left to bully their neighbors, I can guarantee both those countries will take advantage and we’ll have to intervene at a much higher cost than supporting Ukraine now.

  269. This is perhaps a little more likely than a trip to Mars, but the cost would be astronomical, if feasible. Israel deploys this in a country the size of New Jersey. It also calls into question the idea that if we did have a 'golden' dome, and China or Russia lacked it, would we then be more likely to strike first with nukes. Trump's foreign policy 'ideas' almost always make the world more dangerous, not less. Ukraine? Israel? Abandoning NATO?

  279.  @shadowreaver1851  That’s exactly what grownups do when the balance of power between a super power dictatorship and America is at stake? Every president since WW2 has kept the pressure up on both China and Russia. The result: Eastern Europe freed in ‘90 when the Iron Curtain came down and the USSR dissolved, Japan, Taiwan, S Korea are flourishing democracies because we guarantee it. Know the secret to world peace? Democracy. Isolationism, what you’re arguing, is why it took us so long to start fighting in WW2.
    1
  280.  @shadowreaver1851  Grownups remember that every president since WW2 has backed a policy of containment against China and Russia, resulting in the fall of the USSR/freeing of Eastern Europe, and building and protecting democracies in Taiwan, Japan, S Korea. World peace is built on the expansion of democracy and the diminishment of tyranny. Isolationism, 'saving our money', helped lead to Hitler.
    1
  281.  @shadowreaver1851  There's a reason both Dems and Republicans signed off on this. Every administration since WW2 has kept the pressure on China and Russia and free half of Europe in the process, while building democracies (that we protect) in Japan, S Korea and Taiwan. You want to cut the debt; there are saner ways to do that.

  303.  @murphymalinois  I was talking about Israel/Palestine. The overthrow of the Shah of Iran and hostages was due to a long history of US support of the Shah and his secret service, by both parties. And Reagan didn’t want the hostages released until he won the election.

  304.  @davebrookbank4831  You're right to give up. Trump's middle east peace plan was to forge an alliance between the Saudis and the Israelis while cutting out the Palestinians. Hamas wasn't happy and so, Oct. 7th. I'd like to believe he can do better, but I'll believe it when I see it.
