Nonsense.

If you watch the whole press briefing on a regular basis, you get a feel for Spicer's (not always smooth, but all the better for that) style. There is no way in which that was deliberate.

US President Donald Trump has said Nato is "no longer obsolete", reversing a stance that had alarmed allies.

Maybe he is managing to actually,finally sort out the chaff from the wheat..

If you live on a diet of Fox News and Breitbart with a sprinkling of InfoWars then you're going to come up with some pretty whacky policies.
To his credit, Trump is now better informed so his decisions are better.
U-turns a plenty yes but better to alter course when you see an iceberg than continue on stubbornly!

To be fair, he's not a deity and flexibility is an admirable human trait. Aren't you enjoying the times being more exciting? Things do need a shake up

I've always said the reason I follow this thread is that Trump is an unknown which makes things exciting. I've given him credit where it's due and criticism when the opposite is needed.

I certainly prefer Trump moving more towards traditional American foreign policy rather than his isolationist one during the campaign. Before it was far more conciliatory with Russia and strong against China but that's been switched. Not sure why he has changed his mind, maybe he was never that bothered either way.

It is in a politician, I've always viewed the lady is not for turning types as pig headed, irrational and not doing what's best for the country.

I thought it was all for show at first, a carefully orchestrated opportunity for Russia not to lose face after the bombing and normal relations would be resumed in a few months as if nothing had happened. Maybe not

Just seen the latest stuff re DT. And especially from Nufc.

I read in American Newspapers, and this is where l get my info.
It stated that US Warships are heading towards NK.
If DT has already sent bombers to Issad.
Then he will send military to other Countries. What we have to realise is. That if DT does decide. And he is a nutter to do this. He will cause a war between the Countries, and get involved as well.

He has already started Bombing a country. Who says he wont bomb another ?

Arthur, It's Assad not Issad.

And you're days behind the times. I saw reports earlier in the week about Warships being sent to North Korea.

Negativity aside Arthur, given your post is riddled with it. What do you think should have happened against a true nutter, that's Assad, when he is gassing his own babies and children with chemical weapons?

Trump's actions was not a real bombing in any sense of the word, it was a warning and it was the right course of action.

I'm sure this must be a load of rubbish made up by a lefty fake news outlet. Russia and Trump's team couldn't possibly have colluded in any way, however minor.

Quote:

British spies were first to spot Trump team's links with Russia
It is understood that GCHQ was at no point carrying out a targeted operation against Trump or his team or proactively seeking information. The alleged conversations were picked up by chance as part of routine surveillance of Russian intelligence assets. Over several months, different agencies targeting the same people began to see a pattern of connections that were flagged to intelligence officials in the US.

The issue of GCHQ’s role in the FBI’s ongoing investigation into possible cooperation between the Trump campaign and Moscow is highly sensitive. In March Trump tweeted that Barack Obama had illegally “wiretapped” him in Trump Tower.

The White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, claimed the “British spying agency” GCHQ had carried out the bugging. Spicer cited an unsubstantiated report on Fox News. Fox later distanced itself from the report.

The claims prompted an extremely unusual rebuke from GCHQ, which generally refrains from commenting on all intelligence matters. The agency described the allegations first made by a former judge turned media commentator, Andrew Napolitano, as “nonsense”.

Sigh, Sean Spicer did not make that claim. Very poor journalism given that GCHQ, rubbished the claims made by the Fox News commentator.

Sean Spicer only relayed what this commentator had said on Fox, he did not make any such claim by himself.

**Damien** · 14-04-2017, 22:27

What does Russian intelligence asset mean? Seems odd people on his team were talking to them?
