The United Arab Emirates arranged a secret meeting in January between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a Russian

First line of article.....so why would Trump who was according to the media and intelligence community so heavily in bed with the Russians that they influenced the election and have deep connections going back to during the campaign.....why would he need a back channel in January after he won the election?

That's what I was thinking. Something smells fishier than the fishmarket in Sydney...

Usual course of business I would have thought, just someone facilitating a meeting. Blackwater stirs a lot of emotions and makes a good story in a paper.

I'd be surprised if anything comes out of it.

Yep, it takes two to tango.

Coupe king was only showing one side.

I'm gobsmacked the police let this violence go on unchecked, imagine that happening in Australia. - God bless America!

Getting interesting. Susan Rice requested the unmasking of Americans, which in itself is not corrupt but the leaking of those names is.

Trump uses a comically 7ft tall flow chart to explain the process for building a highway.

Not even close to the 4,000 permits needed by Hancock Prospecting for its latest Qld coal mine development. Madness

Who knows if Trump can restore some common sense but we know the GOP and Democrats can not. Just like in Oz where Labor and Liberal have been over run by career politicians and the lawtrades, who are oblivious to common sense.

You certainly hit the nail on the head.

A typical scenario with all Government Departments in Australia, the exception being the TAX department !

Our living standards have dropped over the past 10 years, and unfortunately will drop lower.

The Western World ( as we once knew it ) has gone backwards, even mad.

Only Russia and China seem to have stability and sanity.

But back to Australia, currently, LIB / LAB are like a showbiz wrestling tag team and their opponent being the Australian public.

Unfortunately, we have no Donald Trump on the horizon.

I'm sure if we were look for the greasiest used car salesman that Australian Fleet Sales employs, we could at least find someone that lies half as much as The Donald.

China may have stability but it does not have sanity - Russia does not have either - that is one of the most ridiculous things I have read.

Enough with the personal sniping.

Isn't it funny how all of them, on both sides all over the world claim to have inherited a mess when they take charge.
Basic politic 101. Blame the last guys for what your not going to be able to get done.
One persons mess is another's utopia!

Which ever way you look at it, blame-card or not, it's a fact.

Previous administrations contributed to this 'mess', directly or not.

I can't recall anybody else getting hand-passed the amount of issues the current administration are dealing with, and most are reaching a crescendo of some-kind almost simultaneously.

His next meeting with China's leader - love to be a fly on the wall )

Big tick in the box for Trump from me.

[CoupeKing]

Wow that response was fast, I didn't see that coming. They must have had unequivocal evidence that it was actually Assad himself that called the chemical attack and not a set-up.

60 cruise missiles? lol! BRB, going to clear a little space in my bookshelf.

Big mistake methinks. Assad had no reason to attack with chemical weapons, he's winning the war and was on the Trump administration good side, he's not stupid. There is more to this than meets the eye.

Bombing and depleting Syrian Army will only help ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria.

Will be interesting to see Putin's response.

[Mercury Bullet]

Donald is crying over the kids killed.

What, these same kids he refuses to allow into America for protection?
These same kids he calls terrorists?

lol.

Hypocrisy unlimited.

Yes, big mistake, his first. I do not think Trump is running the Pentagon or foreign policy.

Is it just me noticing, but Trump has changed his position 180 degrees on two key international policy areas and on one has commented.

Two months ago he wanted peace and cooperation with Russia to end the war in Syria.

That is now out the window !

His administration has suddenly joined the PROBLEM.

I just hope that no Russian planes were hit on the ground.

Two completely different issues, and comparing them is nonsensical.

Liberals scream hypocrite that Trump acted, but if he didn't they would be chanting that he supports a baby killer.

Your kidding right?

Um I screamed hypocrite yet last time I checked I voted Liberal.

I prefer the Australian language over becoming a quasi yank.

We agree on something!

Apparently Trump tweeted 24 times last year about Obama ordering attacks on Syria. Big turnaround.

When this blew up this morning I wondered...how would Kennedy have handled this? Has Trump got control over the military?

First rule in politics and with most things in life these days - follow the money!

It's for the most part gotten world-wide praise, but what worries me is that all the wrong people are happy about it...John McCain, CNN Hillary etc LOL.
