Trump asks the right questions: the danger of globalism, incredibly high global debt, the danger of radical islam, the overestimation of Russia's danger on the US and EU, the questionable usefulness of NATO, the economic manipulation by China, he just has the wrong answers.
- woah 10y agoThe danger of radical Islam?? That one's in the mix just for an extra dose of racist nationalism. They'll stop fighting us once we stop occupying their countries.
- myf01d 10y agoRadical islam is the real danger on the west, I come from a middle eastern country and as an ex-muslim I know very well the danger of the islamization that has been going on in western Europe throughout the past 3 decades.
- MrZongle2 10y agoWell, I'm sure that won't stop many "enlightened" individuals from lecturing you. Unfortunately.
- Analemma_ 10y agoThe flu kills more people every week than "radical Islam" has killed in the last decade; but yes, keep telling us how much of an existential threat to Western civilization it is. Us "enlightened individuals" are lecturing you because you are terrible at evaluating risk and are afraid of your own shadow.
- myf01d 10y agoThe flu also killed more people than the Jews killed by Hitler during that time. High blood pressure killed more than the two combined. Nice logic you've got here.
- MrZongle2 10y agoMy point isn't about radical Islam (no quotes needed, it does exist), but rather about privileged Western know-it-alls who feel the need to lecture about things with which they have no experience. Especially to people who have experienced these things firsthand. Radical Islam is but one example. American Communists lecturing Eastern Europeans is another.
- valuearb 10y agoYep we should give up our rights and freedoms in case some goat herders fly some more planes into buildings.
- blueatlas 10y agoIn general, I agree with your point. However, I don't think we would be having this intense national debate over these important issues if not for Trumps answers. Like it or not, we're finally bringing these issues to the fore front.
- thewhitetulip 10y agoand yet forgets the 1$ trillion student debt? and how costly a university education is in the US, plus doesn't get irony either, he himself is a third generation immigrant. A billionaires who is "anti establishment" who surrounds himself with even more $$ billionaires.
- valuearb 10y agoTrump forgot that the USSR once had a massive superiority in military forces in the European theatre (over 2-1 vs. NATO). The breakup of the USSR made Europe tremendously safer. Now Trump is going to let Putin recapture the Ukraine and restore much of his missing military edge, while undercutting NATO. It's like he's inviting Putin to just invade Poland. How is that going to end?
- throw2016 10y agoThis is like saying the breakup of the USA will make the rest of Americas safer. Maybe but military strength does not directly translate to 'threat' without intent. Some states by their geography, history and technology are naturally more 'powerful'. Does that automatically translate into a threat or the idea that they should be broken up. Who gets to decide this? This is like positioning Russia creating a SATO with South American States to defend against 'US aggresiveness' and trying to actively break up the US as a 'defensive action'. Yet this is the kind of foreign policy routinely adopted by the US and 'the west' and yet it's others that are 'aggressive'.
