Idaho,

I think the warnings of Putin and Trump DO need to be heeded. After all, Putin has owned Obama and the last two Sec of States like Capone and concubines, so worrying about the next one is a valid fear.

Of course, the progressives cannot comprehend international commerce, building a business, how real estate financing woks, etc., because their solution to everything is a fed gov program and corresponding rules & regs to be enforced by ensconced political hacks. Thus, when they hear of, say, a Trump building in Timbuktu which included some loans from, say, the Bank of China, they cannot be expected to understand the use of LLCs, shell corporations, etc., to build it!

Remember, these are the same mental midgets who keep insisting Trump has gone bankrupt 4 times (of course, we know that is untrue as four of his +500 companies have done so over the past 25 years and investors often own many non-integrated companies, which they fund by taking on debt, and some of them inevitably file for bankruptcy.

Sadly, the results of the last three e******n cycles has driven the progressives to the brink of suicide and continued irrational thought and behavior.

Perhaps a government program, maybe an obamacare add on, for special help for them is due? Maybe even short buses to take them to and fro?

I think there are good warnings out there on this matter, Walsh, but at least it's just words. Obama and Hilary, on the other hand, used actions to show their subservience to Putin. Might the U.S, under Trump, use Russia and Israel to squash ISIS? I hope so. As I recall we partnered with Russia and an even worse dictator in WWII, and achieved our then-stated goal.

On the other hand, I fully realize we need to be careful with ANY dealings with ANY other corrupt government, including Russia, China, most of S America, all of Africa, the U.N. :), etc., as the fable of the scorpion and the turtle come to mind.😎
