    Stanislav, those are unquestionably good points. Thank you for sharing them. This is definitely an ugly situation that can potentially have dire consequences in the future.

    Foreign folks who want the USA to be a "Worlds Policeman" need to vote for the real Dems/Reps (aka Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Mrs. Clinton), who are Progressive Warmongers. They love to stick their nose in all Nations.

    So far Trump is not that way. Time will tell.

    Oh FFS...



    I give up. Go cheer on the President who "protects America" by ceding her moral ground. BTW, does Pentagon plan to rely on Iraqi troops in their brand new, tremendous, yuge plan to defeat ISIL? Or you're planning to do all the ground fighting all by yourself? Go on looking for scapegoats for your problems - preferably ones with skin of a hue different from your own. Pretend that banning the most vulnerable, vetted, tiny group of immigrants (Syrian refugees) is about "safety".

    America stands for something, in part - for those words inscribed on the Lady Liberty. Today, Trudeau gets to shoot videos standing for those values, all smug and Canadian. I do not enjoy it, believe me - but you made this justified (ugh!). The horde of Syrians you are so afraid of is 15,000 of mostly women and children. Since last elections, Canada's Liberal government admitted 50,000 - with overwhelming public support. Canada is about 10% of US by total population.

    Yep except Canada does not take any single men lol. They also have not been swamped by waves of Hispanic's, so you might have more room then us.

    Who paid for your PhD? Just wondering of you had to pay out of pocket or was that a scholarship?

    Teaching assistantship dude. In the sciences, hardly anyone pays out of pocket. Just need high enough GRE score.
    Toronto is 49% foreign born. BTW you do not take much "single men" either... our refugees are similarly UN-screened, only you add more steps of domestic screening on top. The hysteria is all about scapegoating "the other". I was livid when Harpercons engaged in dog whistle politics... Trump is something else entirely.

    I may disagree with him on many things, but you should be embarrassed for making such an asinine comment.

    Why should we allow someone that does not live here guide our political process? I would like to hear your opinion on this because its seems a large voice governing the way the Democratic party thinks is based off of foreign input.

    This makes no sense to me.

    Stanislav, how is America "ceding her moral ground"? What are the moral obligations that you believe America is obligated to perform in, for or to other sovereign nations?

    Stanislav, President Trump has directed his generals to devise a plan to overcome ISIS. However, the plan will not be released publicly for ISIS to begin countermanding-planning.

    Stanislav, President Trump wants to work in tandem with other nations to create "safe spaces" for refugees to have safe refuge in their own countries.

    Source to the first bolded portion?

    To the second bolded portion, Canada has admitted at little less than 3 times as many asylum seekers while the U.S. has given ~ 5 times as much in financial support...so...there's that.

    Why would I bother? Will it affect anyone's position? You already formed opinion about my motives; you will discount anything I say as "fake news" no matter how credible. I just predict that perhaps you'll be embarrassed one day; your fellow trumpeteers, not so much.
    You could find extensive criticisms of Bannon/Trump regime's actions online; they are much better than I can write and are not written by foreign shaytans.

    I'm not trying to engage with you here, just note how ironic this statement is. I am sure агент Апельсин would not allow anyone abroad to dictate policy, nosiree!

    Here is interesting, and completely unverified, information. The much-discussed "Russian hookers" dossier included (equally unverified) report that Russian higher-ups offered Trump 19% stake in Rosneft, state-controlled oil company, as a bribe; at the time of that conversation Trump did not accept it. That was in summer. There is a well-sourced report on Reuters that in fall, Russia sold 19.5% stake in Rosneft for 10 billion euros to well-hidden offshore buyers: here. Coincidence? It probably is; we could know for sure if Trump released his tax returns and used real blind trust. Alas, we don't.

    He's not "guiding our political process", he's stating his opinion. As Americans do all the time when it comes to the actions and presumed intentions of policymakers in other countries, issues like Brexit, and so forth.

    Here's what really makes no sense: "Of course he hates us."

    You're talking about a guy who lived here legally for years and who proudly lists American schools in his sig. It was an asinine comment, own it.

    It's not in toto, but in this case I think Milbank is right that conservatives (and Beltway libertarians like Norquist) thought that Trump wouldn't do the crazier things he promised. They're accustomed to Washington politicians who are merely "wrong within normal parameters", there's little precedent here for this sort of recklessness.

    I especially like the last link. Against all expectations, Breibart.com supports Steve Bannon's actions. Who would think that.

    For any politician in Iraq (you set up a pluralistic republic, remember? they are your nominal ally, remember?) who in any way supports cooperation with US, this stupid non-ban just made life harder. Harder still to justify any military action under US leadership (IGIL, remember?). For what? protection from a few dozen highly-vetted travellers from Iraq (no way too many of them had visas to begin with)?
