Good luck,” he added. “Enjoy yourself, folks.” .....
“we”
it’s an us against them folks!! :)
you’re so politically blind and immature that you’re a caricature of a joke because you don’t deserve to be called the real thing.
all out war in the pacific? really?
there’s no word for your low low low level of thinking.
Well I would point out that Trump isn’t President yet, not even the Republican nominee.
That said, Japan has been enjoying a free ride on the American Defense budget for several decades now. But America was a lot richer then.
That clearly cannot continue, nor should it. Japan is a rich, industrial country that can start fighting for itself - they didn’t seem to have any problem in WWII.
Credit to Trump for pointing out the unspoken elephant in the room.
Ok, so you know the RNC is making it so neither Cruz nor Trump can win a contested convention? And they are maneuvering to change the Rules to allow somebody like Paul Ryan to get the nomination? So why then are Cruz people still trying to force a brokered convention? Is the Trump hatred so much that America must be destroyed with A democrat win in 2017 possibly up and down the ladder since its going to anger so many good people when their votes are stolen from BOTH our camps?
I agree with Trump's argument that we as a nation have been taken advantage of with regard to peace keeping, but if we want to continue to have the only superpower arsenal in the world, we can't completely walk away either.
and poor wittle baby has an us against them complex?
poor wittle baby should get extra creamed spinach for poor baby’s wittle tantrum.
“Simple: “take out your own garbage”.
Perhaps you can elaborate.
State Shinto might not be a bad thing if it were aimed West of them. East or South, not so much.
These matters are discussed in public. We have allies. And if half of the people out there did a little research, they would realize that other countries do in fact, pay us quite well to continue to help guard their countries. I know it is more popular to believe that we ship people over to Japan and Korea and Germany for free. Hell, I’ve seen people post that we actually PAY those countries to allow us to be there.
And then we have a buffoon who knows absolutely nothing about the political system and our protection of said countries saying, “Have fun, folks”.... Because watching an ally of ours get nuked is sort of fun, isn’t it? Yep!
Lowest common denominator
I’m sorry, you’ve become irrational.
Perhaps you could state the position more clearly.
Trump knows what would happen to North Korea. He’s mocking them.
to shake things up is not a bad thing in a complacent world
“According to Trump: “Frankly, the case could be made to let [Japan] protect themselves against North Korea, they’d probably wipe them out pretty quick.”
That’s probably true, although “pretty quick” might be questionable.
Tsun Tzu said..... You are not a high level thinker. You are an apologist. Let me guess, there are no Islamic terrorists in the US today. People like you make my blood boil. HIGHER LEVEL THINKERS are self righteous self serving jackwagons.
“I am smarter than you are you lowly serf.”
FU and the high and mighty horse you rode in on.
Japan has no nukes by constitutional arrangement now, but Trump might be copacetic towards that changing.
If they weren’t bothered by the current imbecile in chief and all the embarrassment that entails, they’ll be fine with Trump.
Midget, there’s nothing in the bible that says the USA has to be king of the world...
In fact one plausible reading of Revelation is that it’s resolutely sitting out the mayhem, that’s why it never shows up in the hostilities. Somebody has to be on that land, unless it is now molten glass or something like that.
Coming from you, my ‘irrational’ is pretty sane.
Thank you.
Agreed. At least there is a little wisdom on this thread. We do not to be king of the world. We do need to be rulers of our own domain.
