Who's the biggest threat to this country and world peace? Russia, China or the Republican Party?

[Yarddog]

Russia is a failed country with former KGB Putin at it's head who is trying to rebuild the Russian Empire that finally fell apart under Ronald Reagan. They don't make anything of value. They rely completely on oil and minerals. Not on anything they actually make. In the past few years, they have invaded their neighbors and annexed part of another country. They kill political opponents and journalists.

China is the worlds most populous country. Much of it is rural farmers. And getting older. They are a communist country. Freedom is granted by the government. There is no free speech.

Republicans are home to American white supremacists. They have gone to court again and again over their voter suppression tactics. They are anti education and anti science. Members of the party have talked openly of denying gays jobs, a place to live, serving them as customers and even some conservative religious leaders have promoted death and "camps". Republicans hate blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. They don't innovate nor produce much of value beyond crops and they only do that with a lot of scientific help. The party disrespects it's own base. They have no interest in helping the sick, the elderly or the GOP base. Their leaders promote warfare without ever being in the military or letting their children serve (see Donald Trump and Mitt Romney). Their policies have been proven again and again to be dangerous and were the cause of the most recent recession. The worst in US History.

So which are more dangerous? Honestly, I have to say Republicans. The minority is dragging the majority over a cliff. We can all see it coming. They did it once before under George W. Bush and now have all the pieces in place to create far greater damage.

So what do you think? What's the US of A's greatest danger and why? Give facts, I did. I can prove everything I said. You have to be able to do that same.

How about Multi Billionare George soros who tries to bankroll dissent inside the US? Or the Democrats who try their damndest to dissolve any idea of this Country having a specific border or culture or basically any pride at all in being a united America

That's the biggest threat in the world? Come on!!!

and the republicans are ?

The Republicans are warmongers. They want war with Iran, they want to pacify OPEC countries, they attacked Iraq, messed up Iraq and fomented violence, Afghanistan hasn't been sorted out either. Bush tried to play with China in his first months, but stopped after 9/11 and spent the next 7 years trying to turn Muslims into an enemy. Trump is playing with China now and hasn't even got in, and will probably do something to incite more people to become anti-America.

Look at the Cold War, the right using it as their personal play thing, shouting "Communist" at any person they didn't like, and having little proxy wars in places and fucking over the poor people in those countries.

The Republicans also had a hand in the Coup d'etat against Hugo Chavez in 2002, again, against an OPEC country that wasn't pro-US.

War, they make money from war, their friends in the defense industry make a fortune. Defense spending from going to Iraq went through the roof, and the right benefit from this.

Lockheed Martin get $44 billion from the US going to war.

Their spending on Republicans far outweighs their spending on Democrats, they spent a lot of money on the Republicans around the time Bush got elected in 2000, giving $1.8 for Republicans a $1 million for Democrats,

Then there's the lobbying, $15 million in 1999 and $13.5 million in 2000.

It's amazing, isn't it?

Your forgeting there were some Democrat Presidents during the cold war, and reagan was instrumental in bringing an end to the cold war and bringing a peace dividend for Europe. He had 8 years to get us in a major war and that didnt happen. Most of our wars have taken place with Dems in power. Bushes were the anomaly and I'm not really a Bush fan. Opposition to Bush and his cronies were the original reason the Tea party was formed. people were sick of business as usual. He didnt really have to make Muslims our enemys . There has always been a hostile faction of them going back to the first time they invaded Europe and took people away as slaves. Nothing is quite as simple as you state it. The Democrats have also been very supportive of the Saudis during these last 8 years and actually have tried to rattle the cage with Putin, like they would like to start another cold war.
I'm not seeing any greatness coming from the Democrat camp

Libtards are the biggest threat.

At least I can name why Republicans are a threat. And it started with Bush and continues with Trump.

Funny I just named why left-wingers are a threat. Starting with the Soviet Union, and ending with Venezuela, and a dozen countries between.

Libtards have nothing but empty speculation.

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., said at a real estate conference in 2008, according to a trade publication, eTurboNews.

So you are calling Trump's son a liar?

No, I am calling you a liar.

....Republicans are home to American white supremacists.....So which are more dangerous? Honestly, I have to say Republicans......

Of course you do. That's what LW extremists do; fear-monger that the opposition is worse than the fucking Russians or Chinese communists.

It is incumbent on democrats to arm themselves and take to the streets vowing to kill all enemy republicans. Otherwise thry are just blow hards. Chickenshit blowhards.

Agreed on all points. In fact, I'm surprised they haven't either actively revolted or simply moved to a country more to their liking. You know, one that is a Socialist Totalitarian state where they can force their views upon others.

No, I'm not forgetting there were Democrat presidents. Reagan played a part in the end of the Cold War, but it wasn't just Reagan and actually it was more to do with what was going on in the USSR than what the US did.

Sure, Reagan had 8 years to get the US into a major war, instead he kept with small wars. Lebanon, Grenada, bombing Libya, playing with Iran and Iraq etc etc. The situation with the USSR could have gone any way, and that he didn't get involved in a major war, and perhaps wasn't seeking a major war might have been because the focus was on the USSR.

But Reagan didn't need to start a major war to increase military spending. The Cold War was perfect for the right to be able to do this. Bush W. got thrown into a situation with lower military spending and no way to convince Congress to increase it because peace existed. So how do you increase military spending? Hmm. Let me see...

No, Bush didn't have to make Muslims the enemy, but he did, and he pumped out the anti-Islam rhetoric for 7 years, and things have got worse and worse. And people say they're fed up with the Bushes but then go and elect Trump who is probably going to be like the Bushes but on coke.

No, I don't see any greatness coming from the Republican or Democrat camps. I see a country in decline, I see greatness being either hidden or going off somewhere else, and I see the US crippled and paralyzed by bullshit partisan politics.

Agreed, but this goes with all Presidents. The economic boom of the 1990s wasn't just Clinton. It was based on years of changes in the US, some of which we ended up paying for with the Dot Com bust, 9/11 both the Housing and Banking crises even after Clinton left office.

Presidents have more impact on the current decline than the current boom. Booms happen long before, declines can be much quicker, like Bush found out.

Socialists....in all countries......

Why?

They do not understand human nature, they spend money without regard to the consequences....you see this in Venezuela ....the only reason other countries that are heavily socialist haven't collapsed is that their welfare programs have not completely destroyed the work ethic of their citizens....but that is only a matter of time. Centralizing power in a small group, as socialist countries do, you get the worst people running the country and they mainline their bad policies for everyone.....

They believe that the best economic model is tax, tax, tax, borrow, spend and keep spending because there is no reason to worry about where the money comes from....since you can just keep raising taxes on the "Rich" and if the rich complain....you take their stuff and throw them in prison.

That's just repeating GOP bullshit. Reagan cut taxes in his first year and created so much damage, he raised Taxes the next seven.

And raising Taxes on the rich? When a billionaire is paying ZERO. And you know Trump is paying ZERO then how are taxes being raised fool. What the fuck is wrong with you people? You guys need to read your shit OUT LOUD before you post it and see if it even makes sense to you.

Funny, because the GDP of the country doubled. Even Clinton's team of economic advisors in the early 90s, concluded that the long period of sustained economic growth, was directly due to Reagan's tax cuts.

Moreover, you seem to forget that before Reagan was Carter, and the never end malaise of stagflation.

And this is the problem.... When taxes were up in the 90% range, the rich people like Trump, actually paid less taxes, than they do today.

All this BS about raising taxes on the rich. It never worked in the past, it certainly won't work today.

Bullshit is NEVER funny.

Reagan’s tax increases

1982: The most significant tax increase Reagan signed was also the first. The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (yes, another law with a very sexy name) increased taxes by almost 1 percent of GDP.

The 1982 tax increase was "probably the largest peacetime tax increase in American history," said economist Bruce Bartlett, who advised Reagan on domestic policy and then worked as Treasury deputy assistant secretary for economic policy in the George H.W. Bush administration. (An analysis by Jerry Tempalski, an analyst in the Office of Tax Analysis with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, agrees.)

1983: A law Reagan signed in 1983 aimed to keep Social Security afloat by increasing payroll taxes and taxing Social Security benefits for some high-earners. This cost $24.6 billion, or almost $50 billion in 2015 dollars, through 1988, according to an administration estimate.

1984: The Deficit Reduction Act that Reagan signed rolled back part of the 1981 cut on buildings, Entin said, with the idea that Congress would enact spending cuts. "But many of those cuts were either never enacted or were later restored," Entin said. This led to $25 billion in tax receipts.

Reagan also signed tax increases in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988

Stephen Colbert brings up Ronald Reagan's tax-raising record in Ted Cruz interview

I count 7 right there. I think it was 11 all together.

The problem is you guys repeat your lies so much and so often, you don't believe the truth. You can't. You entire world is built around delusions and lies. I bet you still think Bush had a "Freedom Agenda" in the Middle East. I even bet you think Trump doesn't stiff his employees.
