While President Biden talks democracy, Trump to meet with Putin ally

[Couchpotato]

Trump claimed it was when Kerry did it.

And being a Presidential candidate has nothing to do with the Logan Act

Crepitus has no clue what the Logan Act says

Reading comprehension is your friend

You claimed Russia had the resources to conquer Europe. Prove it.

Read it again. Slowly. Maybe have someone read it to you and explain it.

Trump claimed John Kerry was violating the Logan act with Iran. Now Trump does the same with Hungary?

Kerry wasn't the leading candidate of the opposition party....

 

[Rambunctious]

For one thing Trump has no business meddling in foreign affairs, he's a private citizen. Secondly, he's a fucking traitor who belongs in prison.

That son of a bitch couldn't even negotiate his sorry ass out of the N.Y. fraud case. The only "negotiating" he'll do is to sell this Coumyry down the river to our enemies for cash.

God forbid the killing stops right?.... unbelievable....

Now, now, let's be nice.

Clearly there's a misunderstanding here.

It is late, and I'm tired. Lastamender's a decent sort, though.

You are right, I did take it the wrong way.

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán is putting his chips on the table with a trip to visit Donald Trump, as the US and Europe prepare for key elections later this year.

The longtime Hungarian prime minister, who has faced repeated criticism from the US government over democratic backsliding and his friendly relationship with the Kremlin, will be arriving in the US this week without an invitation from the White House.

In an almost unheard-of move for a Nato country’s leader, he is not expected to meet anyone from the Biden administration.….

…..The visit, which comes at a low point in Hungary’s post cold war relationship with Washington, is being watched closely in foreign policy circles, in part due to fears that Orbán could use his access to the Republican presidential candidate to promote Kremlin talking points on Ukraine.

“The liberal international order is under very serious attack,” said Péter Buda, a former Hungarian counter-intelligence official. “As a kind of foreign policy gambler, Orbán has staked everything on the collapse of this order and is betting that if he commits himself in advance to the rising powers of the east, he will be able to secure a more favourable position.

“Both Orbán and Putin’s communications focus on ‘peace’ negotiations, which would undoubtedly benefit the Russians,” Buda said, adding that “one cannot be wrong to assume that Orbán is ultimately lobbying the US on foreign policy in favour of Russia”.

******************
If Trump wins, this meeting with Orbán Is a sign of things to come. NATO allies will be pushed aside for his pro-Putin policies.

Trump is signaling the end of the Western alliance and one more attuned to the east. Democracy for dictatorship will be Trump’s focus.

Trump loves his dictators and strongmen. He makes no secret of who he wants to emulate.

Choose wisely America!

Trump maintains that there is nothing to be gained to be hostile toward people we have no intention of going to war against and, even though we might disapprove of their politics/methods, there is nothing to be gained by making enemies of them. His willingness to treat foreign leaders with respect but demanding respect in return gave us the closest thing to world peace any of us had ever experienced. Certainly meeting with a member of NATO, however much we might disapprove of him, is not an un-American nor pro-Russia move.

Viktor Orbán isn't a dictator.

The whole trope of Trump "loving dictators" is from him not publicly calling them assholes which gains us zero things diplomatically. We've been calling the leaders of NK assholes publicly for 50+ years have they changed yet? Has our relationship improved? If the goal is to modify behavior what we have been done in the past didn't work, and it continues to not work. Do we think continuing the current path with countries like NK are going to magically start working?

It does actually. How has fostering adversarial relationships with countries like Russia working out for us?
