You might not want to or fail to fear these words from two schoolyard bullies. But I do!




""Trump tweets about nuclear weapons, raising questions and fears""

""In his Twitter post, Trump said, "The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes," but gave no further details.""

Some words can't be taken back....

""If Trump and Putin both want to expand nuclear weapons, that would effectively end arms control efforts underway since the Nixon administration, said Joe Cirincione, president of Ploughshares Fund, a foundation that works to prevent the spread and use of nuclear weapons.

"This is how arms races begin - with a battle of words," Cirincione said, urging Trump, a real estate mogul, to "make the biggest deal of his life" and negotiate cuts to the nuclear arsenal with Russia.

"Neither side needs to be spending hundreds of billions of dollars on nuclear weapons we don't need," Cirincione said.""

Putin doesn't seem to be concerned. Neither am I.

Quote:
"As for (comments by) the newly elected president of the US, there is nothing new," Putin said during his annual news conference that lasted four hours. "During his election campaign, he said the US needed to bolster nuclear capabilities and armed forces in general, and there is nothing new."
Russia gives US cold shoulder, saying relations between countries

Asked about what he will address in his first meeting with Trump, Putin said, "We need to discuss ways to normalize our relations. During his election campaign, Trump said it would be proper to normalize and it can't be worse, and I agree with him."
One minute you Hillaybots are making crude Jokes about Trump and Putin being Homosexual lovers and the next minute you have them facing off for WW3.

You need to get a grip before you end up with whiplash.
