Low Confidence in Trump Wordwide

[Ringel05]

I have low confidence in Trump but then again I have low confidence in every politician...... in every country...... worldwide.......

Actually most of our significant adversaries were ecstatic under Obama's speak softly but carry a wet noodle policy as it allowed them to make inroads into sphere's of influence that were once exclusively ours.

The drones used to attack command and control were "wet noodles"?

Would you'd have preferred sending our troops into harms way knowing that suicide bombers, IED's and turncoats within our allies forces killed and maimed thousands of our troops in Iraq?

As usual you find a couple of examples to bolster your fantasy as well as incorrectly assuming I meant he should have sent in troops in a couple of specific areas. You do realize that global politics is global and not confined to the ME? Right? Do you honestly believe that the only show of strength is to send in troops or bomb?
While Obama did have some limited successes even many of his foreign policy apologists state that over all his FP approach was a failure. The surge, the so called Arab Spring, the Crimea, Chinese influence expansion into Africa, Russian expansion into Syria and most importantly his laudable but completely stupid attempt to put a kinder, gentler face on Machiavelian world politics, to change it into something more closely resembling his ideology. The problem with that is everyone else has to play along and that didn't happen, China, Iran and Russia all saw it as weakness and took advantage while our allies who were giving positive lip service to his approach but were deeply concerned behind closed doors.
Stop being an ideologue and look at reality for once in your life.

Ah ha, the Realpolitik. First, let's define it:

"a system of politics or principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations."

For the moment can we can agree with this limited but not comprehensive definition?

Given the failures in Vietnam, and in Iraq, is it practical to once again put our treasure and blood on the line in the ME? Or in Korea or Asia in general?

Trump's bombastic, atavistic and inconsistent foreign policy does not reflect the Realpolitik; Obama's did. One more very critical thing - Obama made mistakes and learned from them; Trump makes mistakes and blames others for them.

Obama was/is an idealist, he tried to apply that idealism to his foreign policy, the good guy approach and expected everyone to respond in kind, they didn't. One of the biggest complaints I read from Obama foreign policy apologists is he never could understand why his foreign counterparts weren't as "wise" as he thought himself to be. Rump's foreign policy approach looks to be even worse so that's not a good comparison, Rump is just clueless not idealistic.
I never once called for boots on the ground in areas that were not of strategic importance to us and even advised against going into Iraq as well as secretly backing Assad and Qaddafi because there were a small group of us who knew a power vacuum would be created and the resultant probability of radicals taking over and seriously destabilizing the region. We were shut out due to political considerations, ya can't have the US seen to be backing dictators no matter what the cost.........

Trump's speech in Poland and his handling of the G20 Summit were very impressive. It will disappoint the Leftards to see the rest of the world's increasing respect for Trump. And it is so good to have a non-wussified non-wimp President after 8 years of the Feckless Obabble.

Please post evidence that the world's nation's have respect for Donald Trump. This nation doesn't.

The howling mobs on the left going insane over a meme prove that you all are afraid that he's succeeding.

Obabble was a pussy-wimp. Nobody respects a pussy-wimp.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Only 6 months in and there's nothing he hasn't made a mess of.

It can only get worse. As more and more facts come to light, it will get a lot worse.

​

How does an American president do in five months what in two terms his predecessors, thankfully, did not? Even widely despised Bush II didn't get to just 22% confidence.

​

The chart above doesn't tell the whole story.

• "In terms of personal characteristics, Trump is seen by most publics around the world as arrogant, intolerant and even dangerous. At the same time, he is seen by sizable percentages as a strong leader."

What's especially disconcerting about the survey results is that the lack of confidence comes from our allies. Our most significant adversaries, of course, are thrilled with Trump....and why shouldn't they be? He goes easy on them.

If I were Trump, I'd respond by nuking Mexico.

He's a spoiled, entitled child who never before been held accountable for anything he has said or done. Not in 70 years has he been as examined and investigated as he is now. I'm sure it just never occurred to him that anyone would question him or that he would get caught.

Destroying Mexico would do great harm to the US so yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all.

And RWNJs - well, you know they would do anything to weaken or sabotage their own country and they hate innocent people so yeah, of you would.

You're "correct"....We ALL love that Mexican wall, that tax reform package, that TrumpCare, those millions of jobs for infrastructure, .....should I go on???? LOL

1. Your answer is No but who are you to say no when we have good numbers of US soldiers in Poland and other countries with impressive military gears.
2. Well Putin doesn't think that way. You should ask why his neighbors are scared to death of Putin asking help from US.
3. Very minor except Exxon. But Trump think there is a gold in Russia. Remember Russia is the major adversary of US not the ISIS.
4. If he is not a puppet why is Trump acting like one? Despite with all the evidence shown to him he still keep defending Putin against his own intelligence.

1. During the Cold War, we normally had a quarter millions American troops stationed in West Germany. How many do we have now in POland?

The Cold War is over.

2. Putin does think that way, because he has a good idea of the limits of Russian power.


3.a. Agreed, no major interests.

3b. Trump wants good relations with Russia. Russia is not major adversary.


4. Because the Deep State are a bunch of assholes who don't like having to share the government with an outsider. Fuck them.

1. So why are we sending more troops and heavy military equipment in that region?
2. Nah...... Putin invaded Ukraine that is why his neighbors are nervous.
3. No major interest but Trump think there are like we need more oil.
4. That is sad. Instead of relying his own intelligence----- Instead he is against defending Putin. Who in the world will do that?

1. I asked you how many troops we have in Poland, compared to the quarter million we had in west germany in the cold war. You did not answer.


2. The Ukraine, which he did not conquer, is not rebuilding the soviet union. It could have been a start on rebuilding a slightly Greater Russia, but the Ukraine remains unconquered. The Crimea is not a major shift in the balance of power.

3. Link to support your claim.

4. NOthing in your response addresses my answer to your previous question. THus my point stands as the final point.

Because the Deep State are a bunch of assholes who don't like having to share the government with an outsider. Fuck them.

1. Number of US troops doesn't mean that much because those countries are now better prepared to defend themselves compared to during the Cold War. Before you will expect that US troops will be in the front lines. Not this time. If the Cold War is over then we should not be sending $ billions of arms and thousands soldiers protecting those countries.
A good example is fighting ISIS in Iraq. Iraqis are in the front lines not US troops.
2. Putin invaded Ukraine plain and simple.
3. Really? Trump is asking for exemption from the sanctions for Exxon so he can drill in Russia.
4. I stand the same. It's very loud and clear that Trump insulted his own intelligence by siding with his master Putin. In his speech alone at G20 summit he keep defending Putin. He is a puppet. That's the reality.
Are you talking about Trump/Kobach commission? Of the 50 states 44 rejected Trump request------ they say fuck Trump.

1. Got it. IN your mind, 1000 troops is just as much a sign of commitment and concern as 250,000. Your position is absurd and dismissed. The Cold War is over.

2. Sort of. And he flipped the Crimea and a few hundred square miles on the border. That is not rebuilding the Soviet Union. Your panic mongering is absurd and dismissed.

3. Wow. Nice link btw.

4. NOthing in your response addresses my answer to your previous question. THus my point stands as the final point.

2. Putin invaded Ukraine you are just in denial.

We like Trump to succeed in cutting the Medicaid and food stamps for the poor Americans and implement Trumpcare.
We like to see more of this videos inciting violence and more brilliant ideas like partnership with Putin in cybersecurity. I'm sure the GOPs likes it ------- see link.

Well, Trump "suggested" the pact for a whole freaking day.....then he changed his orange mind...............LOL

 

[usmbguest5318]

Trump suggested a cybersecurity pact with Russia. Lawmakers say they were ‘dumbfounded.’

Yes....and how long did that flight of fancy endure? It didn't even make it off the ground, so to speak.


It's no wonder that so many people lack confidence in Trump. The man actually sat in a meeting with Vladimir Putin and left it thinking he'd obtained something of value -- stupid ass pact -- only to find that within 48 of Trump's publicly singing its praises, it was a fully defunct idea.

Just how deucedly stupid must one be to one day refer to the idea/pact a "significant accomplishment" and describe it and/or the group implementing it as an "impenetrable Cyber Security unit" only to days later equivocate and exculpate oneself by saying that one's having said so doesn't mean one thought it can happen? The answer to that, of course, is profoundly so, for to do so, one must not bother to think when the notion was presented or when one touted it. I mean really. Which of your significant accomplishments failed to come to fruition? One have to not have the sense with which one was born to say such a thing.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Putin and his cohorts laughed at Trump for thinking he had come away from the meeting with something of more use than the tits on a bull. Indeed, he and his cronies probably placed bets on how long it'd take for the notion to die.

3. I'm sorry to see that the request was denied. Doesn't really support your claim that Trump is looking to benefit hugely from Russian trade.

I do not lie or fabricate just to make a point. ALL my post are based from facts and reality. Repeat ALL.
1. Your opinion/definition of Cold War based from very large number of US troops in Europe is obsolete. Cold War was based from WW2 military doctrine which is obsolete.
This is the 20th century. We now have a laser guided anti tank missile, very sophisticated drones launched & command thousands of miles away with surgical bombing, very sophisticated bomber and fighter jets. Sophisticated THAAD, Patriot and IRBM designed to shoot down incoming missiles. We also have GMD being tested design to shoot down ICBM headed to US mainland. That said---------- Any new war will be fought differently compared from WW2.
If there is no Cold War 2 maybe you can ask Trump why we just conducted a military exercises in Latvia consist of 7 countries from June 3 to 15 called Saber Strike 2017. Last year June 2016 in Poland called Anaconda. There are 2 more scheduled this year but they will kill me if I tell you.
At the same time Putin is conducting his own very large scale military exercise called Zapad 2017 scheduled this September, with 70k to 100k Russian soldiers to participate in Kaliningrad enclave and Belarusian territory.
The Cold War 2 is here either you believe it or not it's real.
I'm not a war monger------- I am just too advance for you.
2. Putin invaded Ukraine is not a big deal? Maybe you can explain that to the Russians suffering from crippling economic sanctions and spending billions of rubbles supporting Crimea.
