Its time to sort the world out. There's the autocratic world of like minded nations.

Philippines
Turkey
Russia
Hungary
Slovakia
Indonesia
Venezuela

Let them all align with each other for all I care. Eject Turkey from NATO. Eject Hungary and Slovakia from the Schengen.

Arm the Ukrainians, Poles, Balts, Finns, and Swedes to the teeth.

Killing people as a means to get to your ideal world political end is all a game to you, isn't it?

Sometimes I think that the world would be a much more secure place if we entered into a 2nd Cold War.

Duterte came out of nowhere too. Another loud, obnoxious Hugo Chavez-type strongman with a lust for power abuse.

Cut all aid to Philippines.

Why are y'all surprised? Accept it. Irregardless of who wins the WH that storm will be upon our world. It's just a matter of time. Us's who are alive today may see it but I guarantee our children and grandchildren will witness it firsthand.

Be right with God.

I don't think that the Finns need arming.

Ask any old timer from that part of the world whether he/she thinks fighting the Finland is s good idea.

If Hillary is elected should Americans start leaning Chinese or Russian.

Ready? No. But if the mantle of Primary Combatant was thrust upon us, I like to think we would perform admirably.

I can think of no other more tragic situation than a war with Russia.

There is no deep animosity between us and them, only what is manufactured by those who profit from it.

It's a war that neither people want and one that would be totally thrust upon the average man for the benefit of Clinton and those that own her.

It's truly discpicable that it is so obvious

The US (and some of its citizentry) need to just back off the aggresive rhetoric, they act like they are still the Soviet Union hellbent on world domination.

If you asked the average American, they probably would thing the lifestyles of North Korea and modern Russia are similar. Couldnt be further from the truth.

I think Russia suffers from a inferiority complex for not being as relevant on the world stage for the last 20-30 years, like they were when they were the Soviet Union. The proper play here is to let the have thier sphere of influence and flex their muscles a bit, you can keep them contained that way.

+1, maybe 2.

We have a hell of a lot more in common with the Russian PEOPLE, than we do with half or 2/3rds of anyone else on this Godforsaken planet. Not the politburo, not the Oligarchs, not the f#$^ing commies that have ruined 10's of millions lives and murdered 10's of millions more, you basement socialists.

The PEOPLE. Meet some. Find some that have escaped that hell-hole. Then tell me who you can relate to better, them or the people we are apparently working fervently to come into our Country and change it, literally, forever.

It's not even close.

No thanks to TPP. It doesn't exist yet. And China will not be in TPP.

All kinds of things re blamed on TPP (and NAFTA) that have no relationship at all to it.

Completely agree with this. I work with a couple of former Russians and they are fun great people. I also work with some Arabs and they are polite and accommodating but have trouble relating to us.

When and where did I ever say it was bad?

It's not bad, it's what we want. But if you want growth, you don't cry and moan about NAFTA and TPP, because they aren't what's stopping growth.

If you wanted to increase growth, the first thing to do is implement a consumption tax. That then allows you to reduce individual and corporate income taxes to world-competitive levels (actually, quite a bit lower than that, because our total tax bite is smaller) and eliminate or reduce the double tax imposed on corporate profits dividended out to shareholders. With those lower rates, you can also get rid of special interest loopholes. And go from a worldwide taxing jurisdiction to a territorial tax system.

This is pretty much the exact approach that Domenici-Rivlin recommended to increase tax revenues and move toward a balanced budget. It is also the Bowles-Simpson approach, except Bowles-Simpson did not include the consumption tax. Those are the two most recent bipartisan looks at our tax system, and they both recommend essentially the same thing.
