Trump said he would win the arms race

67
During a telephone conversation held on 20 in March, US President Donald Trump told Russian leader Vladimir Putin that the US would win an arms race if it started, reports Interfax Post NBC News.





According to the channel, referring to some American officials, Trump said the following:

If you want an arms race, we can do it, but I will win.


As noted by the interlocutors, who were introduced by Putin during the message to the Federal Assembly in the new Russian weapons systems “really took the President (USA) out of themselves.”

Meanwhile, Trump's national security advisers told the channel that at the moment it is not known whether the meeting between the heads of the two countries will take place, as the US President "offers a personal meeting practically within the framework of all his telephone conversations with foreign leaders as formal courtesy."

Trump's conversation with Putin took place on March 20 on the initiative of Washington. Trump congratulated the Russian president on his election victory. According to the Kremlin press service, during the conversation "it was agreed to develop further bilateral contacts, including taking into account changes in the leadership of the US Department of State."

“Special attention was paid to the development of a possible summit meeting ... In general, the conversation (the two leaders) was constructive, business-like and focused on overcoming the accumulated problems in Russian-American relations,” the press service noted.

        The Soviet Union was bigger and stronger than Russia, and it could not stand the arms race with the United States and fell apart, and modern Russia is even more so. Another thing is that GDP is not trying to achieve military parity with the United States. He is fanning anti-American hysteria so that the fools do not ask questions about why they live like they live in one of the world's richest countries. It is much easier to incite hatred of the West than to defeat corruption (especially when you are involved in it), create honest courts, stop beating up defendants, create normal medicine, etc. So go on, gentlemen, to hate the West.

                    There was no ideology of socialism, there was an ideology of Marxism-Leninism, let's start with the main heresy - the friendship of peoples, in fact, the anti-Russian national policy of the Bolsheviks and the promotion of all minorities, as a result, the country was torn to pieces across national republics, Russians everywhere were persecuted. All this is enough for the Russian people to anathematize this ideology. What the bastards did in their careers, because a normal person cannot worship a bald, mummified skin in ziggurat, according to the canons of the Gnostics. Any communist is automatically Russophobe, according to Leninism. For some reason, all the leaders of the Komsomol and the party turned out to be villains. Or EBN, Chubais, Gaidar and other Khakamada were not party members and Komsomol members? These are your like-minded party members, and here you are responsible for them, these are your ideological brothers, moreover, the hereditary and true Bolshevik-Leninists.

                      Roughly, but clearly and accurately said. It is within the meaning. The fanatics of Russia are not needed in any form. And xenophobia even more so. Russia is the broadest and deepest nature. Russia does not need fanatics, xenophobia. She just needs adequate self-defense. For woodpeckers zadolbali. Obviously now, for the whole world, they are trying to destroy it. We will not give. But we ourselves will not offend anyone just like that. Russia is the future of the world. Strong, smart, free ....

                      And it is becoming more and more obvious for everyone whose soul has remained in the world. Fanatics, instead of Russia, see a wall (actually their own). About which they will be smashed to death ...

                      Socialism (fr. socialisme from lat. socialis “public”) is a doctrine that considers social justice, freedom and equality as the goal and ideal. Socialism also means the social system that embodies these principles. In Marxism, socialism is considered a transitional phase from capitalism to communism.

That they didn’t do everything through the ass. Even talking is disgusting and disgusting. There is no way for you to make excuses, there is no way to correct mistakes, okay, history has judged everything, but so far we can’t recover from the defeat of the Bolsheviks, who all lost to the West. And liberoids are your own feeding males, they all crawled out of the party and the Komsomol, betrayed and robbed the country.

          And do not blame Putin, the loan went into minus even under Yeltsin. When the US supported the "rebels" who staged the genocide of the Russian population in Chechnya. Then there was Yugoslavia, then the largest NATO exercises since the end of the Cold War, clearly directed against Russia ...
          But Putin ... He is a normal politician, unlike any Yavlinsky-Khakamad and Ksenia Sobchak. A normal politician, if he wants to achieve something, should not oppose the opinion of the majority of the population. And anti-American sentiment at the time of his coming to power was already very strong. And the United States, in spite of the “reboots” declared in words, only reinforced them with its real actions.

          The USSR collapsed from the inability of senile senility to rule the country. The arms race and oil prices are tales for the naive. The state was absolutely self-sufficient. Could calmly exist in complete isolation (which never happened). Why achieve military parity ???? It is enough to respond with unacceptable damage (achieved). They took corruption seriously (I understand that there isn’t such a word in Israel (what about German boats ???)) The economy is developing (you can see the infrastructure (roads, for example). Where is the hysteria? Judge individual citizens at the forum? Or " you take into account the weighty opinion of “liberalists (everything is lost, pensioners crawl around in the trash, there’s only one collapse, but corruption). There are problems who argue.

          The USSR collapsed not because it could not stand the arms race, but because a corrupt elite came to power. Of course, the arms race ate a significant part of the treasury, but it was not the cause of the collapse of the USSR.

          There’s nothing to nod at our "idiots" if the curves themselves are wretched. In 2012, even before the Crimea and Urkaina, during the US presidential election, candidate Mitt Romney, without batting an eye, called Russia the US geopolitical opponent No. 1. Then we were only exchanged places with Ebola, now with Korea, then with China, but from the first troika of threats to the United States, Russia did not fall out. This West pinned to the borders of Russia, and not Russia approached the borders of NATO. So what does the GDP have to do with it?

          It was not for this reason that the USSR lost the arms race (and did it lose? I'm not sure!). The USSR was ruined by corrupt elites, but not by itself. Yes, in the late 80s the USSR suffered a crisis, but didn’t these crises exist in the USA? And then do not forget!

      If so stated, it means it will definitely win

      Yes ... It is possible to swell billions and trillions into offensive weapons of a new type ....
      One question, "Is it a victory over what or by whom?"

    Let him play to victory! The more money they spend, the more absurd the situation. In this battle, it is the one who won who loses.

      What is the fact of victory in the arms race? In a regular race, who is the first to reach the finish line. What is the finish of an arms race? War?

    If you want an arms race, we can do it but i will win
    For some reason, I immediately remembered his verbal diarrhea in relation to Kim Jong-un, the measurements of the red buttons, the AUG maneuvers in this region. And how did it end? A meeting is possible. Trump is really a strange person and in some ways very similar to Boris Johnson.

    Trump bluffs, as befits a showman. tongue For 2,5 years, he will not be able to win the race. And for the next term, he obviously will not work. Russia does not need a race. Better chase after China.

    It's time to organize a political sweepstake. And you can safely bet on Trump in terms of the growth of the military budget. I sincerely wish him a gain and bringing the military budget to a TRILLION dollars, it’s already a little bit left, now it’s already 700 billion. hi laughing laughing laughing Seriously, the Congress will cut these Wishlist, seriously cuts many programs. We need a new tank (Russia has it), we need new missiles (Russia has it), we need new littoral ships (after all, two oceans on the sides, and China must be restrained). And then one F-35 flew into a trillion dollars. And it turns out that for each child prodigy you need to spend a commensurate amount. The question is where to get 15 trillion for new weapons? To give or not to give? And hde? And the Pentagon and DARPA have already buried 8 trillion in 15 years and have not reported on them. In general, let's chase arms, we will wait at the finish line.

    In fact, this so-called the president is definitely not all at home. During the pre-election debate, he argued with his fellow party member who has more hands, which in the investigation should mean who has more "economy". With Kim Jong-un - who has more "button". Now he is trying to impose GDP, who has more ... but the hell knows what! laughing

    Quote: Hanokem
    The Soviet Union was bigger and stronger than Russia, and it could not stand the arms race with the United States and fell apart, and modern Russia is even more so. Another thing is that GDP is not trying to achieve military parity with the United States. He is fanning anti-American hysteria so that the fools do not ask questions about why they live like they live in one of the world's richest countries. It is much easier to incite hatred of the West than to defeat corruption (especially when you are involved in it), create honest courts, stop beating up defendants, create normal medicine, etc. So go on, gentlemen, to hate the West. Your faithful friends: Iran, Syria, Venezuela and North Korea to help you

    You have listed all the shortcomings that your "free world" is using; besides, your corruption is simply legalized. This time, secondly, the best medicine, if you are hinting at Israeli, was created by doctors trained in the Union. Hatred of the West does not need to be inflated; he himself increases it with his deeds. As for the allies .. you are not to be taken as allies. With such allies, enemies are not needed ... How many shekels are now Judas' services ...

    Tram-Pam-Pam is going to win the arms race and be the first to finish in the competition with Russia. He will win it in splendid isolation. Ginger poorly translated the words of GDP that Russia will not come to this race. The answer will be symmetrical. While the stripes will be chasing, our kulibins will prepare the next surprises. Nezhdanchiki sneak up unnoticed on the other side. And again the world will hear overseas cries: “Gay, Yankees and Dixies, get up whoever can. Trouble came from where you didn’t wait. The“ Vanguards ”and“ Daggers ”fly, the Sarmatians are approaching from the south, and“ Poseidons ”are coming from the north. Again these Russians want to outlive us. "
