So,Trump has decided to demure on his threatened stand-over mafia protection racket as the US’s international trade default. 
Or, has he decided to TACO and instead adopt the early 1900s US model of international piracy and blockading eg Japan. Will the US now move to gun-boat diplomacy and threaten countries on a whim till they submit eg Cuba, Greenland, Canada etc? Is this how the US will address its profligate consumption, prop-up Wall Street and subsidise its defense/continuous war spending.

The US military is a disgrace. They are happily following illegal and unconstitutional orders. Don't let anyone try and convince you otherwise. None of them deserve an ounce of respect when they come home - NOT ONE OUNCE.

They were told that they are not required to follow illegal orders. Economy will not be better until a new admin. is elected.

And the escorts and missile/drone defensive ships sitting in the strait all the time for eternity, get their fuel, food, etc., paid for from who? Oh, taxpayers. Sounds expensive.

Why would Jeanne want smarter people in the whitehouse to help change trump's mind from what she calls a political disaster Thursday night? Is she pro trump? Does Jeanne secretly want this administration to succeed?

I am not a Trump fan, but no one else was willing to take on this regime which gunned down 35,000 of it own citizens just for demonstrating. All hopes that he can take it down after 47 years; if he can't, no one else will
