Remember when George Bush pulled out of the ABM treaty, saying we no longer need to

[still_one]

abide by "outdated treaties"

Remember when bush rejected the sunshine talks between North and South Korea?

Remember when bush invaded Iraq based on a lie, and destabilized the entire middle east.

Welcome to the bush redux on how to destabilize the world even more:

Former Trump adviser on Taiwan call: 'If China doesn't like it, screw 'em'"

Stephen Moore, a former economic adviser to Donald Trump, defended the President-elect's recent call with the president of Taiwan, saying in a local radio interview that he didn't care if it upset China.
"Taiwan is our ally," Moore said in a radio interview Monday on the Big John and Ray Show on WLS AM890. "That is a country that we have backed because they believe in freedom. We oughta back our ally, and if China doesn't like it, screw 'em."

"Reince Priebus, Trump's pick to be his chief of staff, said Monday that Moore is not an adviser for Trump's transition, though Moore was listed as an adviser for Trump's presidential campaign.
Beijing views Taiwan as a renegade province and it has been the official position of the United States since 1979 that the government in Beijing is the sole government of China. Trump's phone call Friday with President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan led to criticism from the American foreign policy establishment. Beijing lodged a complaint with the State Department. "

So now that we have destabilized the entire middle east, I guess it is time for us to destabilize Asia

1. that's one way to keep people's minds off the Middle East.

Saw a meme somewhere - "Trump is the guy who said he's going to defeat ISIS but right now he's losing it to a late night comedy show and a broadway play"

There are two ways to push ISIS off the front page. Defeat them or make something else more important. I'm guessing he goes for door number two.

8. I am most concerned with what they will do with the Iran agreement

[underpants]

2. Stephen Moore is a moron

I know he has lots of degrees and such but seeing him on TV can only lead one to assess hm as a moron.

[dhill926]

5. yep. among the stupidest of the right wing gusts on Bill Maher...

jaw dropping stupid....just spits out the rw meme of the moment....

9. but so are most of trump's team

[Johonny]

3. Remember in the election when Trump praised how much smarter other countries leaders are

compared to the US...well now he's about to become right. I'm pretty sure the Chinese are not worried about going to the negotiation table with Trump. GOPers have been shown to be easy to bribe into terrible trade deals. Trump will be easy to grease and they know it.

10. They have neanderthals on their team. The Iran deal is proably the next to be

threatened along with the Cuban deal

The world is so screwed

[Cha]

4. Is stephen moore going to be on the front lines against China?

He better be volunteering his ass for that.

11. Those are the infamous cheney chicken hawks

[Calista241]

6. The sunshine policy towards he DPRK accomplished absolutely nothing.

[still_one]

12. It was rejected before it got started. The bush administration rejected it without trying

to engage in discussions.

They did the same thing with the Israeli and Palestinian situation. When bush first took office, he had an opportunity to continue where Bill Clinton left off, instead, he ignored it entirely

The trump team is now talking about doing the same thing with the Iran deal

[gratuitous]

7. Yep, the fascism is being unleashed

Today in Israel, the associate general secretary of the World Council of Churches was apprehended, interrogated, and deported at Ben Gurion airport on her way to a conference with the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI):

Gotta be extra vigilant that people aren't talking and working together. That would ruin all the beautifully laid plans to loot even more of the world's goods.
