Before presidential run, Trump called Russia the 'biggest problem' and geopolitical foe of U.S. - Polidicks

[quote]CNN)In a series of interviews in March of 2014, Donald Trump singled out Russia as the United States' "biggest problem" and greatest geopolitical foe. Trump's comments more than two years ago, which came in the wake of Russian incursions into Crimea, offer a sharp contrast to the Russia-friendly rhetoric he has employed since launching his presidential campaign.

Lots of things change in 2 years, mainly how Trump figuratively became Putin's fuckboi It's still sinking in though, the dumbest man in the history of US presidents is now US president.

It appears that Trump flip-flopped more than Clinton ever did, and for seemingly little to no logical reason.

Too late. It's all too late. It's all gonna burn and it's all the fault of a singular chunk of the country.

The republicans were pretty opposed to Obama trying to cure relations with Russia, but now something changed and I guess they want to suck his dick for being a dictator??

Boy, trying to figure out why he's so friendly with Russia now sure gets my neurons a'firin'! I'll be up all night trying to piece together the unsolvable mystery of why that is.

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;51681092]Too late. It's all too late. It's all gonna burn and it's all the fault of a singular chunk of the country.[/QUOTE] Actually Trump's victory came from the widest spread of states.

As I've said before, just goes to show that Trump is a massive ass-kisser. Remember how much he ragged on his opponents during the primaries, then suddenly became buddy-buddy with them afterwards?

Remember when Obama mocked Romney when he called Russia our biggest geopolitical foe? ([URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwQqNdkyZZo&t=1s[/URL]) Man, listening to this again really shows how off Obama was on foreign policy, both about Russia and having troops in Iraq.

Turns out the alt right were the cucks all along and now we all have to sit and watch Trump get dommed by Putin

We've always been at war with China.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;51681293]It also came from the states with the thinnest spread?[/QUOTE] Also the states with a majority of the oil, agricultural lands, most of the mineral mines, freshwater(aquifers and lakes/rivers), and most of the population which doesn't live in cities larger then 75,000 people. The fly-over states are the backbone of this country, and the Democrats were given their eight years to do what they wanted, and now it's back to Republicans. This is sorta how the trend works in this country. It goes back and forth to Republican and Democrat control every four to eight years.

[QUOTE=BlackMageMari;51681018]It appears that Trump flip-flopped more than Clinton ever did, and for seemingly little to no logical reason.[/QUOTE] Is it really flip-flopping when he's just blatantly taking two contradictory stances at once? This has practically been his strategy since the beginning, probably the one thing about Trump that I found the most infuriating during the campaigns.

Mitt Romney said the same thing in 2012, and Obama said he was stupid for thinking that. Obama also said ISIS was the JV team, and nothing to worry about. Obama has not been very good at identifying foreign threats.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;51681465]Trump's win actually came from all the people that voted for him.[/QUOTE] He's trying to make the rural American population, which overwhelmingly leans Republican, more significant than it really is. Rural America only has value insofar as its natural resources are concerned. The people however leave a lot to be desired. It's not necessarily their fault. These places simply lack the opportunity and amenities which urban areas have: higher education facilities, more businesses and options for careers and decent-paying jobs, more people to develop professional relationships with and to build a future with, etc. More and more young people who are born in rural areas are actually leaving now to go live in cities. It's no surprise as to why this is happening with the aforementioned in mind. I've noticed from my own personal experience however that a lot of rural people simply refuse to learn or accept anything new or different than them. Like I said, they leave a lot to be desired compared to city people.

Hate Mexicans? Latch onto his statements about them being rapists. Like Mexicans? latch onto his statement about how much he loves mexicans while he eats a taco bowl.

I like Obama but his foreign policy is certainly his weakest area. As for Trump, I can't see the neo con element of the party letting some inept moron sell their country to Russia. People like McCain would sooner eat shit and die.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;51681010]Lots of things change in 2 years, mainly how Trump figuratively became Putin's fuckboi It's still sinking in though, the dumbest man in the history of US presidents is now US president.[/QUOTE] I think Trump is being Blackmailed by Putin.

He just goes with whatever fits his purposes at the moment.

I don't find this nearly as bad as a candidate who flipped their position on, say, gay marriage. Foreign policy can change.

Obama said some truly awful things about Hillary in '08, then hired her on as Secretary of State. Biden said some uncouth things about Obama before becoming the VP. These things happen.
