Demerara_Guy posted:Summary of the meeting in Helsinki shows the following ...
1. Putin had complete control of the meeting while Trump was babbling incoherently with praises for Putin.
2. Trump praised Putin and assigned no faults against Putin/Russia.
3. Trump accepted, yet again, Putin's statement that Russia did not get involved with the US_of_A's elections in 2016 without presenting specific questions and issues.
4. This is an extremely worst outcome by the president of the US_of_A in relations with a country.
6. Putin gave Trump a ball for him-Trump to play with his kindergarten friends.
7. Etc., etc., etc..
What is your record of political prognostications here? You are more often than not DEAD WRONG! I will ignore your kindergarten like "summary" and offer the following for consideration. Consider it playing devil's advocate or whatever.
The "intelligence services" armed Colin Powell with "intelligence" that saddam had yellow cake nuke material. Powell went to the UN and was made to look like a damn fool, his political career ruined.
The same "intelligence services" told Bush Saddam had WMD. How did that work out? (And I'm pretty sure you were here jumping up and down about what an idiot Bush was for believing saddam had WMD).
Now to present day. We just had a congressional hearing where the anti Trump bias of individuals in the FBI was on full display to the extent they swore they would do everything possible to stop Trump.
And now you expect Trump to go to war with Putin based on "findings" of these same anti Trump "intelligence personnel" in the FBI? Trump wasn't born yesterday. The allegedly tampered DNC servers were never examined by independent sources and have now disappeared. You want Trump to take solely the word of people who tried to set him up before?
Trump is an unconventional fella. He goes with his gut feeling, and it has helped him defy all the odds. Something smells rotten in Helsinki. If the info Trump is handed is false (see Powell) and he agitates with Russia, YOU will be the first one peddling your sophomoric shit about how he went to war with Russia based on poor intelligence!
