The Kremlin said on Sunday that the dramatic pivot in the foreign policy of the US “largely” coincides with its own vision, with Donald Trump described as having “common sense”.
The US president, who has often said he respects his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, has worked to build ties with Moscow since taking office in January, including twice siding with Russia in UN votes.
“The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations,” the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told a reporter from state television. “This largely coincides with our vision.”
If you know any Republican from the 1980s who was talking about the Axis of Evil, look them up in their nursing homes and ask them what the fuck is wrong with their party.
But it's probably more of a reversion to type. The GOP before WW2 was pro-isolation and pro-fascism. They haven't changed.
What has changed is that the Orange Felon has brought a mob-like sentiment to foreign policy, where there is nothing binding and breaking an agreement is routinely done. He bleats about not going to the defense of other NATO nations, conveniently forgetting that the only Article 5 action was after 9/11, when NATO airplanes helped patrol our skies and when NATO nations sent troops to Afghanistan.
The Bloated Ancient Bigot has sent this message to the world: America stands for nothing. America has no principles. America's word is not with the paper a treaty or agreement is printed on.
The Chinese see it:
The damage caused by Donald Trump to the United States’ reputation is creating opportunities for China, particularly with regards to Taiwan, according to a retired senior colonel from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
Speaking to the Guardian in Beijing, Zhou Bo said that Trump was damaging the US’s reputation “more than all of his predecessors combined”.
“By the end of his second term, I believe America’s global image will simply become more tarnished, its international standing will just go down further,” Zhou said. The people of Taiwan “know that America is going down”, which “might affect their mentality” with regards to China.
He and his children will be a-mouldering in their graves before the United States regains the resepect that we so cavalierly threw away last Fall.

"look them up in their nursing homes". The Senate?
I have to believe that most of the borderline Republicans (those who still have some sense), are starting to realize that they fucked up last summer by nominating Trump. They have to see after the Oval Office fiasco that the other leaders of democratic countries are displaying their disdain for him along with half of this country.
Trump’s staged behavior (and Vance’s) was embarrassing to any reasonable person. And all because he didn’t get a “thank you”? Incredible.
Oh, and fuck Lindsey Graham with a red hot poker.

Small man bully and his back up crew. I remember them well from
school days.
That they were utterly classless made them an embarrassment
to the country.
Eck!
