Putin has even more "power" in his arsenal (remember that the US unilaterally disarmed during the last 8 years) and you kept your mouth silent. Why is that?

Because Obama and Putin weren't/aren't provoking Kim King Kong.

What? Invading the Ukraine was not provocative?

Enabling N. Korea to become a nuclear power is fine?

This is idiotic.

That defines liberal progressive thinking.

Provoking?

He (and Iran too with our $billions) has been developing nukes and ballistic missiles while Obama played golf with rock stars and movie stars.

Yes because America bombed their poor country to pieces during the Korean War.

You need to read this

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.79cb01fac346

like most Americans, educate yourself about your own country.

Although the ferocity of the bombing was criticized as racist and unjustified elsewhere in the world, it was never a big story back home.

We bombed their country protecting the democracy in South Korea from their invasion.

And you expect me to read and believe an article at WaPo?

You mean .."Carpet bombed and napalmed the civilian population of their country... That does not give you the right to take the high moral ground. And America really has no business being on China's doorstep in the pacific.
Imagine how better you would be if all that military money was spent on infrastructure, healthcare etc. You got that big nuclear fleet off the coast of NK costing so many million per day just to satisfy Trump's ego.

And what did your country do to protect innocent South Korean civilians from Mao and the Communists?

ahh you win. I can't say we did more than you did in carpet bombing and napalming the civilians. Anyhow Trump is doing the opposite of what he said he would do and not get so involved in wars.

We don't have the right to be on China's doorstep? You mean Taiwan, Japan and S. Korea? I bet they love being called "China's doorstep" and I bet they really love being told by you they don't have the right to be allies with the US.

I'm talking about the 400 military bases that the US has been building up and mobilizing around them:

Surely you don't expect everyone to believe that provocative behavior is only something other countries do.

America wasn't invited to play a role in Syria by their democratically elected government, and still isn't I recall. Forget about checks and balances on the President, where are the checks and balances on America?

Your idea of checks and balances on a nuclear powered President is not realistic. I don't think they hire people who are hesitant about pressing the nuke button. The person who gets the order from trump to press the big red button, they are going to do it either because they are a trump supporter and think trump is always right, or because they are afraid they will lose their job if they don't.
