Foreign policy takes center stage…

Well…wow, lots of stuff to talk about on the foreign policy stage today and after the chaos of the past 4 years, we have a coherent policy taking shape that will start to restore our standing in the world. First, and something that went basically unnoticed when it was announced two weeks ago, the US is entering back into talks with Iran on their nuclear program that was discarded by the idiot trump and that lead to Iran advancing it’s uranium enrichment that has been stoppedĀ  under the agreement negotiated by damn near all of the world that trump crapped all over…now, it’s going to be slow going since no one in the world trusts us anymore after the incompetence of trump and his cronies but at least diplomacy is back and is retaking it’s rightful place in foreign policy. Second, Joe has done what I have advocated for years…he is getting us out of Afghanistan in September after 20 long years of losing our soldiers to a war that has no reason for being other than to enrich defense companies…I know the hawks out there are wringing their hands about it but nothing we can do will change the outcome there…so let’s declare victory and go home. Third, and the coolest thing yet is the announcement of stiff sanctions on Russia, Putin, and his oligarch cronies for their interference in our elections and the hacking of most of the US government last year…and hey, let’s contrast that to the previous guy who had the same information from the intelligence agencies and didn’t do a damn thing since he just loved him some Putin. Joe even went farther than expected when he tied Paul Manafort to Konstantin Kilimnik and stated that Manafort gave information to Kilimnik who then gave it to Russia and it’s intelligence agencies to allow them to micro target our election and install the idiot trump….so, and I know we knew this before, there was collusion between the trump campaign and Russia that got trump elected…and no matter how many times trump chants “no collusion” the truth is the truth…and I hope these sanctions crash the Russian economy and stirs a revolt against the murderer Putin….it is so cool that we finally have someone with backbone as president who will look out for the country and not just himself…go Joe…

Here’s the pro quo…

Well…if we didn’t already know that Russia has trump in their pocket, the pro quo of the Russians quid of electing the idiot happened yesterday when idiot boy refused to place sanctions on the Russians for interfering in our election…and those sanctions were voted on by the senate 98-2 to apply them…but trump and his cronies are ignoring the separation of powers that require him to apply the sanctions. Now, what’s your move repubs? Are you going to let trump continue to wreck this country and ignore the rule of law or are you going to do your jobs and rein in this thug? It is clear why Putin and his intelligence apparatus worked so hard to elect the idiot since they knew he could be manipulated so damn easily….like a 5 year old child…never in the history of our country have the needs of a foreign power been put before ours and there has never been a political party like the modern repubs who just sit back and let it happen…this nightmare will be over in November if we get off our asses and get out and vote to make these traitors go away…impeach…
