US Elections - Boring or Important to Aust?

[zipping]

The backflips are mounting up not a good sign.

Bannon on the outer and Ivanka and hubby on the rise an even worse sign.

Even Yellen is now in Trumps good books, fk me.

I'm more inclined to think Trump paid off witnesses than Fake news.

Trump has a history in the courts...long and colourful.

$3 million because someone named her former employer an escort agency? The poor dear...

C'mon Mercury show some class, attack the man not the family and try have some evidence before making assertions.

There's an article in th Guardian about the UK and other nations inc Aus making the US aware of the Trump Russia link.

Still don't get if the links are that strong 1 why did Obama not use it in election 2 why there are no repercussions charges wise remembering Tillerson went for his lie rather than the links with which no charges have stemmed from.

The other argument is that a stronger more active US militarily will act as a deterrent to up and coming nations.

Russia annexing the Crimea is much more likely to lead to WW especially if they try that again. After all Hitler annexing Poland and Chzequslavaki resulted in Churchill declaring war on Germany.

Don't underestimate how much the Russian and Chinese elite enjoy their billions.

I was alluding to her employer. Anyway happy to retract.

In no instance was I attempting to infer his wife is a prostitute.
Nor do I think she is.

Easier way to poison him - Trump should have just imported some baby formula from over there and served that up.

Quite the contrary actually, Obama really set the stage for a WW3 showdown and demonstrated how he was hypocritically just a big a warmonger than Bill Clinton/Bush Jnr. with bombing campaigns in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and drone strikes in Somalia plus all the other smaller operations the US conducted around the world under the Obama administration.

Obama also put a curtain of missile systems & anti missile systems surrounding Russia, I actually don't have a problem with this when it comes to deterrence, but if you want to talk about starting WW3, Obama really has got 1st place in this instance.

Obama put all this focus on the Middle East & Russia all while China militarized the South China sea building air and defense bases on atolls and expanding its military presence in the region.

Obama lifted sanctions on Iran, which openly voices its hatred of the US and the West and has stated its determination to wipe Israel from the world map.

So far I think Obama has been the most damaging and dangerous president in US history and the future consequences of his 8 year term in the long term could be disastrous....

International tensions escalate on both Trump's actions and words - heads off to his holiday resort for a long weekend, more golfing and probably lots more chocolate cake.

Imbecile, I tell you.

Would you agree though that the US and North Korea were always going to clash at some point, it really is inevitable, it just happens to be on Trumps watch that military action could take place

Allied joint wargames have happened in that region for a long time, often in a provocative way to show force, the North Koreans have often fired missiles in the direction of these wargames in retaliation, that's provocative enough to launch attacks at the North Koreans.
I believe Trumps main goal (as advised by his military advisers) is to stop North Korea continuing missile and nuclear tests, the threat is real of North Korea developing ballistic missiles that can reach the US mainland in the coming years, this is a real & serious threat, what does he do, sit on his hands? China have no real interest in stopping North Korea.

Someone already alluded in a previous post that some bad things are going to happen in the world, things that are already set in motion through previous presidential policies, Trump literally will be the fall guy, some of this will be through his own doing, but MOST of it through the actions and in-actions of the previous administration, this happens in politics and world affairs unfortunately.

That may be but he is calm, organised and can make decision right or wrong.

The problem with Hilary is that she couldn't make decisions and fix problems on the run during her campaign. Far too emotional and prone to blaming others and turning small issues into major by lack of judgement.

Right...so we can have as many bombs and missiles as we like but you can't have any and while you're at it go and sit in the naughty corner.

How about I have all your money cause I've got a bigger gun than you.

Fortunately the world doesn't work like that.
God help us if that's the way Trump wants it.

Of course it doesn't work like this, but the idea is to prevent future events from happening, were talking about a totalitarian regime here that seems to have no restraint, the last thing the US needs is another armed nuclear nation that is capable of striking the US from afar, this shifts power and influence and balance in that region massively, the US would lose pulling power in that region, a region that sees the majority of trade navigate through those surrounding seas, could you imagine what would happen if one of these nations stopped or controlled trade through this region what they could do to a countries economy?

The world we live in is full of double standards on a massive scale, there's no doubt about it, if we understand how it all works and why it happens and that it comes down to power and influence and votes then we can understand a bit of how the world works and operates and why it is so messed up.

Our economies boom because of these world wide policies, me, you and the guy next to us directly benefit from this with our incredible lifestyles that we are fortunate enough to have at the moment.

He's been repeatedly threatening America with strikes, often Nuclear, and at the same time has been developing rocket technology that will have the capacity to deliver such a payload that can be classified as ICBM's - not to mention all of his underground nuclear tests.

No wonder Japan have joined in, most of the rockets fired head towards them and fall 400 clicks short in the drink.

One only has to look at his track-record of executions since he's been in power, family or foe, to realise this guy is a madman that would most likely follow through with such threats.

[Mercury Bullet]

Right so we should start another war because he said something?

You think Trump hasn't threatened kim jong whatzisname?
He's got a bloody aircraft carrier parked right off his coast.

kim jong whatzisname is most definitely a dictatorial moron.
But he hasn't attacked another country...yet.

Someone did mention Hitler earlier on though I'm pretty sure comparing him to Trump.

Obviously we read different news sources. Chaotic would be an apt description of the Trump 'team'. Right now there's a war between Kushner and Bannon and Trump is now claiming that he'd never met Bannon before he joined his race - despite claiming otherwise when he was hired as well as being on his radio show nearly a dozen times since 2011. It's essentially made House of Cards redundant.

There's nothing calm or organised about the Trump presidency to this point. It's been a toy throwing mess when he doesn't understand why he doesn't get his way. Never have I first checked what anyone has done, let alone a US President first thing when I awake. Latest laugh, he's demanding the use of the Queen's gold carriage when he visits London.
