    If you are going to make false accusations, at least make an effort to make them somewhat believable.

    So Tassy, if Trump finds a way to neutralize the threat to the world from North Korea, are you going to give him some props for that or just continue your nonsense?
    That's what he gets for trusting news sources that cater to low-information morons, he has no idea what's really going on in the world.

      My accusation in this instance was the demonstrable fact that Trump has isolated the USA from the entire world re the Paris Agreement and effectively removed American input to it...to its own detriment.

        What detriment? How is it actually hurting us?


        so let's say he does neutralize North Korea. What will you say then?

          Well let's just wait and see if he's capable of neutralising Nth Korea, shall we...more than offering reckless threats and bombastic rhetoric.

          • That is just rhetoric. How is it hurting the USA?

            Are you afraid to say what you would do because you know that you will never change your mind no matter what, but still want to give the appearance of being open minded?

              Countries in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal have agreed on the core elements to move ahead without the United States. The Paris Agreement will continue with the USA as the only country in the world not in it. In short, by Trump isolating the US from the rest of the world, he is removing the possibility of US participation in the decision-making process and being bypassed.

              I would be more than happy if the Nth Korea threat can be neutralised, but I really don't think the trading of schoolyard insults is the way to go.

                1. Not being part of a useless accord does not mean the USA is not doing it's job to clean up the planet.
                2. This is one stupid thing. How does that isolate the USA from the world? That's just being overly melodramatic Tassy. There are lot's of things the USA isn't a part of. And there are lots of things the USA is a part of that Australia probably isn't. Not every country has to be party to every agreement.

                So you still have not shown how it is hurting the USA.

                If Trump got China to reign in North Korea, you woudln't give Trump credit for it would you?

                  I have observed that Trump's ideological opponents rather tend to paint him as a gullible moron. They don't seem to notice how that redounds on them.

                    President Xi played Trump like a fiddle during the current Asian tour. Trump is in no position to get China to do anything.
