Posturing is all just part of the diplomatic game. Overt public displays via the media and entirely different messages via back channels.

What would happen if Trump said the exact same thing?

At the moment it wouldn't make any difference as he's not in political power.

In terms of how people react to it, it'd be exactly the same only the opposite side of the political spectrum.

In terms of government if he's elected it'll more likely depend on who Trump appoints to his cabinet and whether they're better and playing the game.

If Trump can break the ridiculous media notion that Putin and Russia are "the enemy" then there's no reason a lot cannot be accomplished in both their national interests.

I agree he needs to break that stupid idea.

What she said didn't even make the five o'clock news though, really though, you have to admit if trump threatened war with someone the media go nuclear.

You're better placed to judge that than me. We only get a few US news channels over here and I rarely watch them. I rarely watch our news channels either.

I promise you what I said is true, if he threatened war with anyone, even Russia, the media and the rinos and democrats would go nuclear. You would see a complete ape shit moment in American Politics.

In 2004 Kerry argued for more force in Iraq and argued Bush was losing. I know at the time he was seen as a Vietnam hippy from Massachusettes but I think hes right. The funding of rebels caused Isis and this whole cluster**** is only getting worse. At this point i dont think it matters what could have been, but what the plan is.

More force against Assad or whatever Trumps gonna do. Hmmmm.
