This man is what is referred to as a "cherry marine". The upper echelons of marine officers are all blackmailed by the shadow government and have massive homosexual orgies.

An interesting hypothesis, have you considered the alternative? That he hired a guy called "Mad Dog Mattis" who is known for being a blood-drinking Khornite warrior-monk because it would build an image of his administration as being very eager to go to war? That this would give him leverage in negotiations with Russia for an amicable solution to the present disputes?
We know a few things here. 1: Trump has no intention of getting involved in Syria. 2: Trump wants to work with Putin to end the ISIS threat. This means that Trump has no actual legitimate reason to engage Russia meaningfully unless Putin decides to invade fucking Poland in the next eight years, which is of course ridiculous.
Mattis can't declare war on his own and he can't invade countries on his own. He can do what he does best--snarl and strain at his leash--which Trump holds. That makes Trump the most dangerous man on Earth, because all he has to do is release that leash and the promise of peace that he represents to Russia evaporates.

For all this ass-licking people sometimes do of Putin:
- The guy is only interested in money and power. He is a Russian, so human life does not interest him. - He is pro-Jewish and pro-Muslim and has succesfully curbed and destroyed the far-right in Russia by cooperating with Muslim and Jewish leaders and creating a fake civic Russian identity.
Jordan Allen
Trump isn't afraid to go to war with them Its not what he wants since he's an isolationist but he's no pussy and if Putin tried it we will like Moscow the fuck up
Jayden Foster
>Senator John McCain, the Republican chairman of the committee, said he "could not be happier" about Mattis' nomination.
Daniel Bennett
Keep in mind Mattis was a Marine during the Soviet Union, he remembers the Cuban Missile Crisis for fucks sake. Of course he doesn't trust the Russians. But Trump is not an idiot, he knows when he should and should not listen to his advisors.

The only good thing about Putin is that he's useful in gauging the weakness of our leaders. The guy will always push the borders of what is acceptable to see how much he can get from others without firing a shot. As it turns out, the likes of Obama, Hollande, Cameron and Merkel were willing to hand him Crimea on a silver platter and look the other way when Russia was pulling all sorts of crazy tricks.
Hopefully the next generation of leaders will push back, not just against Putin but against Israel and Saudi Arabia (who have been doing a lot of similar things because they sense our weakness) as well. We don't need steppe hordes or desert cultists controlling us.
Ethan Davis
what you doubt a double Trump whammy?
Democrats were demolished. And now seem to be doubling down on the same shit rather than correcting themselves.

Trump is going to lose "bigly" to Joe Biden or Barack Obama 2 (Cory Booker) in 4 years and everything will restore
Nicholas Scott
>Crimea on a silver platter and look the other way when Russia was pulling all sorts of crazy tricks. Crimea was russian a lot longer tha ukranian. Since Ukraine went to shit economically and politically (thanks to US coup) they had refferendum and voted to return to Russia. Of course it's a strategic russian move too and I'm sure there was pressure and dealings to make it happen, but it wasn't against their will like when the US invades Iraq, Afghanistan, topples and ruins the most prosperous African country; Libya, supports ISIS in Syria etc...
Read on wikipedia about ukraine how the US decided to side with and support the now ruling neo-nazis in Ukraine instead of the democratically elected Pres who wanted to deal 50/50 with the US and Russia.
NATO imperialism at its finest.

That's all you need to know. Every Trump cabinet member has been anti-Russian and has said so out loud during their congressional testimonies, even Tillerson. The only person who's not is Trump, on the surface at least anyways. He's probably as anti-Russian as the others.
Jaxson Hernandez
I do believe that Crimea ought to belong to Russia, and I am fully aware of the pre-coup political situation in Ukraine.
But that's not what it was about for Putin. He doesn't give a damn about rightful government or self-determination. This exercise was about testing the waters. Seeing how far he could go before there was a backlash. I feel sorry for those who ascribe to Putin a sort of noble political philosophy when in reality he is simply a 5 ft nothing steppe warlord in a tacky suit.

I wager a revolution in the DNC is going to happen and we may get a 21st century Roosevelt in 2020. Republicans will be BTFO if they try to coup America with closet faggot Pence should Trump go against their agenda and try to enforce authoritarian social policies that alien the libertarians. Hopefully the Republicans in congress aren't that retarded.

Mattis is just bullshitting to get approved by congress. I wish he was actually being honest but he's another Putin Pawn.

Juan Powell
You euros need to realize your enemy is the USA while you still can.
Bush invaded Iraq to destroy Europe, he is a secret Muslim and was courting them before 9/11. Destroying Iraq and destabilizing the middle east to subvert socialist Europe was always his intention.
Ian Ortiz
Obama was btfo by not doing anything and taking a back seat.
Aiden Russell
This. Same with Rex.
Though I think Flynn and Rex are more so pro-restoring Russia ties. Mattis might actually think what he said.
Furthermore, I think it's kinda bullshit that congress has to approve what the president picks. I think congress should have the ability to impeach but the president should be able to pick whoever he wants. Why was Obama able to appoint so many people his second term without hearings or anything? What are the rules?
Gavin Garcia

Logan Cooper
Trump's likely to be a disaster as he probably will just randomly bomb people with the drones Obama set up and make a big show of it. He may having some rolling thunder for ISIS but that shit will be all show and get nothing done beyond be great propaganda for our enemies.
China is likely to try to find a away to embarrass us in the South China Sea that could cause a world war- i'd wager we are at greater risk of a war with China than Russia with Trump. It'd be the opposite if it's Hillary.
China has shit loads of people, but Russia has shit loads of nukes.
More likely time biding for military rebuilding will be what happens. Reaganism is all about making other countries spend themselves to death, though i'm not sure if China or Russia will fall for that again.
Camden Adams
1. China doesn't want war because they are pragmatic and war is counterproductive
2. China has nukes that can reach America, and no one knows how many, guesstimates range from 100 to 1300.
3. Deng used to say "Hide your strength, bide your time".

Don't forget to slash taxes across the board and embark on that 1 trillion $ infrastructure projects.
And up the NASA budget to send the man to Mars. Can't let anyone get there first.
