    Russia’s economy is smaller than California’s, smaller than Texas’, smaller than New York state. Russia is barely larger than Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, in GDP valued in US dollars.

    Russia is no equal to the United States.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    You guys have really abandoned reason. It's a pretty simple thing here.
    What would calling off the meeting accomplish other than making you feel squishy?

    The meeting was scheduled long before Rosenweasles calculated announcement.

    You do know that there was nothing new in these indictments right? It was all information we already knew? Or did you not know that? Did you think that these are actually new revelations?

    Poor grandpa. Events are unfolding that you don't like, and you're throwing a tantrum. An impotent tantrum.

    Somebody has been watching Stephanie Ruhle on PMSNBC

    Kudos to you for regurgitating her words sir

    You almost passed that off as your own thoughts. Unfortunately for you I watch the enemy

    I would say the bar has been set pretty low for Trump as far as strength vs Putin goes.

    Wouldn’t you agree?
    I never defended Obama's foreign policy the way you guys defend Trump. Your criticisms of Obama don't change this discussion - very few were more critical of Obama's foreign policy than I was. I thought his foreign policy was terrible.

    So, just to confirm - that's your only fallback? "Well, it seems like he's not quite as bad as Obama?"

    And Trump is weak - make no mistake about it. This meeting is weak; his meeting w/ Kim was weak. He's only tough w/ countries like Canada.

    Or you're actively working as a Russian agent.

    So you're either ignorant or a traitor.

    Talking on your terms, or even mutual terms - not solely on their terms.
