What in the holy fuck?

[MrScorpio]

I just got a WashPo push that the morons in the White House just suspended nearly all security assistance to Pakistan.

He's aware that they have nukes, right?

Does he want the extremists to grab a hold of them?

1. If you hear that Trump has done something that sounds impossibly stupid,

wrongheaded and dangerous, you should assume it's true.

[marylandblue]

2. Pakistan just decided to denominate China trade in Yuan not $

Probably it's retaliation for that. Pakistan doesn't need the US anymore. Who will be next to drop us?

4. Does anyone need the US anymore? nt

16. Remember

how Republicans were screaming and yelling about President Obama making the US look weak and ineffectual and "leading from behind" for the previous 8 years? Good times. At least he got good relations restored after the clusterf**k that was W. Bush. Now, Trump seems to be succeeding in undoing all of those efforts- and in the shortest amount of time possible. I hope that other countries don't believe that Trump is a true representation of the American people and that he is a momentary aberration but then again so many millions of voters actually believed that he was an acceptable choice for President- aided and abetted, of course by Putin's Russia.

18. I think it is too late. No one really trusts the US anymore.

Bush and now Trump.
And undoing everything Obama did.

We don't have a secure voting system and have a corrupt Congress.
American people quite susceptible to propaganda.

So we are no longer trustworthy or respected.

5. The US had a good run of it after WWII, now has been working to make itself obsolete to the rest

of the world IMO! New world leaders are emerging and who, really, wants to follow a nation led by Trump, and some are probably wondering what's next with the US. If an ass like Trump can be elected, is worse yet to come.

6. Inevitable we'd be replaced as top dog, but

we still could have been a player, not a pariah.

11. This nation has fallen so downhill since my youth. Now, the US is mostly negative energy. n/t

7. Obama stated his worst fear as president was political instability in Pakistan because they have

the bomb.

[MyNameIsKhan]

8. While I disagree with everything orange asshole does, this is one thing I agree

Pakistan has been rouge partner of United States, they harbored Bin Laden for years and then Musharraf used to be on CNN claiming Laden is dead of Kidney disease, not one time but multiple times. We cannot be afraid of Pak Nukes and anyhow they have anticipated and aligned themselves with China which is investing USD50 Billion out there.

9. Does this man have to create an International incident before the public will demand

that he be claimed incompetent and/or unhinged?

[FSogol]

10. We are no longer a world superpower thanks to Trumpy and Repubs.

Don't worry, Superpower China desires stability in the region.

[RKP5637]

13. We hope when China becomes the world leader, they will be benevolent toward the US. After all, ALL

of us did NOT elect these assholes.

[FSogol]

15. When? They are the world leader.

They are investing in Africa and South America. They are attempting to stabilize North Korea. They are growing their economy. The US and Russia are changing their societies to pour government funds to the rich and cannibalize companies to benefit corporations.

[Vilis Veritas]

19. Yep. Money is moving to the next market and that market has huge potential

Billions ready to move up.

[onethatcares]

20. Didn't China just lower taxes on corporations

to ZERO in order to keep American businesses there?

Or did I mis hear this morning?

12. 'AWARE,' you ask???

14. Always ask first: "Why does Vlad want this to happen?" Always, an answer pops up.
