The most revealing thing from yesterday is how far down the road we are to an alliance with Ukraine & how diligently advocates within the govt are pushing to make Ukraine a NATO ally. I wonder if that will ever be revealed to the American public & become a topic of debate.
Crickets.
That's what I thought you meant....and this is why I asked you to clarify.
So you're just waking up to the fact that Trump isn't running our foreign policy? How many times did I tell you this, and you laughed it off? Tried to tell you that we'd pay a heavy price for having him in the White House. Tillerson told you this was happening. So did Bob Woodward. Heck, Nikki Haley just told you this last week.
The Deep State is Trump's own, hand picked people. The "adults in the room". They enact their own policies. They ignore Trump when they want to. They finish negotiations before Trump arrives for Conferences, hoping he won't "ruin things". They leak when Trump goes off the rails. This is the bulk of the complaining you've done over the last three years......it's all right there in plain sight.
So nope, I'm not surprised in the least that Taylor is out there, bringing Ukraine into NATO.
Voters wanted to blow it all up, remember? Well, here you go.
Imagine, if you can, all our negotiations with other countries-----Ambassadors and interested parties (read: corrupt 1%ers) making up their own policies. How many times have we been told Trump doesn't read? That he doesn't listen at briefings? That he doesn't know where half these countries are, and doesn't want to learn about it? People are both taking advantage to line their own pockets, while some are trying to keep Trump from blowing things up.
And then there's things like the EPA and the Dept. of Ed and the SEC.
He's using his office as a toy. In ten or twenty years, we'll finally get a tally for all the damage that's been done.
We asked for this.
