Well we meet again and we find our selves in complete agreement on this one. I have been watching the poles, however as we have seen in the past in the UK recently they are not infallible.

So they need firm leadership? Do you mean like, many of the worlds dictators around today, that Trump seems to see as his hero’s
.
I assume you agree with my post as you have not seen fit to challenge my assertions.

Can I ask how long you have been following US political history? I am guessing not very long as you would realize that people have been asking for change for the last fifty years, if not longer. How do you think Trump will deal with a situation that needs some serious thinking before he decides what to do?.

I wonder what knowledge you have of the devastation impact that just one nuclear bomb will cause if detonated. It is clear Trump does not, as he would not talk about them as if they were fire crackers if he did.

I am old enough to have hidden under a desk at my school, as we were told, that that was the best place to be, in the event they started chucking them around during the Cuban missile crises. I also got to visit Hiroshima in the early seventies, and visited the museum there. In case you are not aware a very small bomb (by today’s standards) was detonated over that city. One hundred thousand people died in an instant and tens of thousands more in a slow painful death over the following weeks, months. and years.

So if you are older enough to vote, and Trump is elected president, you will have a lot of change. However as I doubt you are in the one percent, it will not be change that you or your family will be happy with.

There is a lot of Joh for PM in Trump's run for president and it has about the same amount of substance. But while Australia was smart enough to see Joh for what he was I'm not as confident about the Yanks.

My mother forwarded this email from one on our American friends with the rider;

"This may be the best and most honest political promotion statement you will ever read. It decidedly does not brush objections aside.
You hate Hillary? READ it. You hate Trump? READ it. You think there's no choice? READ it.
And, read it with your grown-up hat on. We've all been dealt huge responsibility with this election. The first step toward accepting responsibility is accepting it, and the first step toward accepting it is recognizing it.
READ THIS. Read every single word. It'll take you about three minutes.
Be sure to read to the end (take a few minutes and read all of it!)

Scary stuff.

As for Putin what a gift Trump would be for him. an isolationist President basically saying let the world fix up its own problems cause we are out of here. Not so good for Australia.

Trump is anti-science:

http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trumps-anti-science-campaign

Trump has picked as his vice-president a man who doubts evolution

Trump has talked of making Saudi Arabia and Japan nuclear powers.

Trump has promoted prejudice, and that has brought him the endorsement of David Duke, a prominent Ku Klux Klan leader. Trump did not distance himself from Duke.

Trump’s anti-intellectualism and authoritarianism has brought him the support of Christian fundamentalists.

Trump has said that he would order the military to act in a way that would violate US law.

Clinton is a very flawed individual, but she is not anti-science and has not appealed to prejudice. She is unlikely to appoint judges who will eliminate legal abortion, civil rights and lessen the separation of religion and state. As a dual citizen of the US and Australia the prospect of Trump becoming president is very frightening to me.

Ok I read it and a lot of the comments that followed. There is an element in the US that actually believes that rant about how Trump is going to save America from whichever bogy man they believe is about to destroy their world. What is more to the point is who is going to save America from tearing itself apart.

I am sure that if you read mien kampf, you would see many similarities about who the good guys are and who are the ones its going to be ok to rounded up and put in a camp.
I believe that the world is in the mess it is now, because America is a nation that is perpetually charging around the planet changing any regime that will not pay for protection. Ask yourself why the US still has basis in England, and Germany when the war finished 70 years ago.

Everywhere they go they create a base until they are told to leave like the Philippians, and Iraq. Other countries were not so polite and slung them out of places such as Laos, and Vietnam.

You also seem to be worried about China and Russia, when was the last time they did anything more than adjust their land border. Only Europeans and America, have invaded other nations on different continents. So I think Pax Europe has had its day and the inmates are turning on themselves.

That's a great news for me! I voted for him everytime. He can change the US!
