with a H-bombs for starters. And without NATO a dozen countries in eastern

​Like "I love war" and "I know more about Isis than the Generals do". The
fact that the closest Trump has ever come to combat himself is being in a

​And Trump wants a escalation in tensions with China, a much more important
country than Russia.​ Stalin normalized relations with Hitler and the
result was a invasion of Poland and the start of World War 2.

Clinton wanted that would be wonderful.

Trump wants boots on the ground in Libya where they'd have to fight from
