    What a joke. You have any idea what government spends on medical care? Guess not.

    You mean someone that actually gets something done, those things he believes, unlike the poll driven critters you like.

    Iran supports the Mullahs not the people. Precisely why they back terrorism. Obama has a good opportunity to back a regime change but failed.didn't.

    Most Americans living in poverty own a couple T'V's , smartphones, and a lot of them sport expensive tattoos and play the lottery. That's a far cry form middle eastern countries and their poverty.

    Of course. I would expect your response to be diametrically opposed to Making America Great Again. Just because you open your mouth and move your lips....doesn
    t make it so.

    I would prefer a fiscal conservative, but sadly none are running.

    Trump, with his many flaws loves America. The liberal dims seem to love Marxism and consider America the root of all evil.

    Also, Trump does not run around apologizing for being white or promoting homosexual/deviant behavior as is the case with your candidates.

    You support the biggest sexual predator since Clinton and are crying about gay people? It is you that are the deviant.

    You are in a mutual defense treaty, where supposedly you will assist the other members in the event of an attack.

    In Oct 2017, Germany's only working sub, the U35, was run aground in Norwegian waters leaving Germany without a single working sub. The U36 was the first to return to sea in 2018, followed by U31 and U33, so you went from zero to three, but, you just ran the U36 aground, so you're back down to two.

    Why should the US care what you think about US/Iranian relations?

    Poverty is often self imposed. Mental illness and homelessness is often self imposed through the use of drugs. I don't think any poverty is ok but you don't conquer THAT kind of poverty by throwing money at it.

    We have 2019.

    That said, Germany assisted in 2001 when USA called for support. German soldiers died because if that. USA never stood on our side because we never had asked for help. And i doubt you would. So spare me that.

    Why US should care? Germany is a economic giant. The main reason your sanctions against Cuba never had sucess was, because Germany doesnt participate and trades with Cuba.

    If we trade with Uran, buy its oil and gas, your sanctions evaporate.

    You also should have learned from Egypt. When USA toppled Mubarak and installed Morsi, zhat was unacceptable for Germany. It was Germany that heavily funded al Sisi and supported the coup against the american muppet Morsi. First country al Sisi visited after his sucesful coup was Germany.

    Having an annual budget surplus between 40 and 60 billion € gives mucn room to counteract american madness in foreign politics.

    He does not realize the insufficiency in his military.

    Everything is fine, and Russia and Iran are cool.

    Do you mean Iran? Its not that Germany propped up al Sisi, its that Obama propped up Morsi.

    I think I see the issue-you may think that the US under Obama is what the US actually is.

    Obama wasn't exactly setting a high bar.

    He'd lose in an arm wrestling match to Merkle.

    Hugging a flag doesn't mean Trump loves America. Marxism hasn't existed since the 70's but you seem stuck in the 50's anyway. There is no such thing as white. The USA is the last best hope for humanity unless it is murdered by those who want to save it.

    Except for taking credit for Obama's prosperity and restoring preexisting conditions to insurance what has the rotund painted freak done for us.

    When I see some of the posts in this forum or hear Bernie talk I know Marxism is not dead. The armed revolutionary commie struggle is dead (for now). Now you take over by simply talking to people you commies call useful idiots (who do not know history) and by importing illegal immigrants who are totally uneducated. No need for guns when the mass media provides your propaganda to the masses.

    When I see people like you use the nom de plume of Lenin's brother (a terrorist) I have a pretty good idea you are a commie. Talk about stuck in the 1950s. You are stuck in the 19th century.

    And if there is no such thing as "white" there is no such thing as the "white privilege" liberals constantly talk about. Why do white liberals and neo commies feel so much white guilt? Somehow I feel white guilt is a subject you may be an expert on.

    We are not our avatars, though you do act pretty much like a 19th century snake oil salesman which is how Patrick Macnee said he tried to play Steed, only British. My Ulyanov is a protagonist of an AH novel, and the whole idea of that genre is that the characters are completely different versions of historical figures. There is no more white guilt than there is white people, it's a Nazi concept like "blood guilt" but changed to use against liberals,

    To me Steed represents what used to be called a polite society. My view is that politeness and civilized behavior are lacking in today's society.

    You don't "throw" money at any kind of poverty. You control the means of rehab and movement toward productive citizenship.

    Trump does not love America. He loves the power and most importantly himself.

    You don't "control" anything. You live, you die. To think you "control" anything is folly. Changing hearts is a supernatural thing that only God can do. Of course if you reject Him and His precepts you're just spitting in the wind. Many would like to change our current motto, "In God we Trust" to....."In government we trust". Watch the Democrat debates. There we'll see a prime example of what I just said. All kinds of gimmicks and give me's to appease the flawed nature of mankind, It will never change a thing. The hearts of individuals need to change,,,,,,the only answer. History is full of examples of how you "control" the masses. Death Camps, Social Programs, Giveaway Programs.....they just don't work. Individuals need to voluntarily come to the reality and Truth. The culture changes when "individuals" take responsibility and that only comes with a God driven revival. When our leaders don't clothe themselves in that humility of understanding, there is not a chance.
