Detente/Peace With Russia Over Tension

So with all the talk from some commentators about how distasteful Donald Trump's seemingly cozying up to Russia's president, Putin, is to them; I have been trying to figure out what is the downside of two potential leaders, who would share the overwhelming majority of the world's arsenal of nuclear weapons, being buddies?  Nothing at all, I surmise.  After all, we should have much better relations with Russia than Obama's same old "poking the bear" policies, which are frankly dangerous and could set off World War III. 

Why is the corrupt Obama regime, which if you remember in '08 was suppose to be the "change" administration, continuing the same confrontational mindset and policies of encircling Russia's borders with NATO memberships (a broken U.S. promise of not to do that, by the way, when the old Soviet Union dismantled)?  Why are we confronting Russia with missile defense systems in Europe, that laughably are suppose to be a shield against Iran's "non-nuclear" missiles, when every security expert in the world knows that this is really trying to make Russia's missiles less threatening, which when it comes to nuclear weapons is an indefensible theory if they were ever to be actually set off (the nuclear clouds, alone, would do in humanity in a very short time)? 
 
And Trump's ideas of reconsidering security relationships everywhere, if only to modify or restructure them, including NATO, is not a bad idea.  On the other hand, however, I do criticize Trump's very unwise suggestion of essentially abandoning NPT (the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) altogether, by looking the other way if other countries, like Japan and South Korea, decided to build their own nukes.   That's just crazy.  We need to strengthen NPT, by actually doing what it says, which means the 5 primary nuclear powers making real and continual progress to dismantle their own nuclear weapons, and international sanctions on the 4 outlier nuclear powers. 

Trump, by being friendly to Russia, is at least setting the groundwork for the best possible outcome, unlike Hillary the Hawk, with her track record, who is nothing but the status quo or worst, but Trump with a chance, through deals with Putin, to be a refreshing change from the Obama regime's con game about a "world without nukes," while at the very same time laying the groundwork for the most advanced refurbishment and addition of nuclear weapons in history.

Mark Greene for Federal Way Mayor

I am officially announcing for Mayor of Federal Way, today, as I was able to obtain sufficient resources to file with the Elections Department on May 18th, 2017, and able to run a full campaign until the August 1st Primary, and hopefully beyond. This All-American Relief campaign will start picking up steam around the beginning of June, as now I'm concentrating on getting about 100 signs on the ground.  Next week, I will be sending out press releases to the major publications in our area: the  Times , the  News Tribune , and the  Mirror.   For more information about this campaign of common sense philosophy and patriotic fervor, see my website and keep up with the posts on this blog, as they usually come about twice a week or more. -- Mark Greene, Official Candidate for Mayor of Federal Way Campaign Website:  ALL-AMERICAN RELIEF Campaign Blog:   FW Politics

GMO Labeling I-1456 Is Still Active

Lieutenant Governor candidate Mark Greene is the sponsor of the current, active GMO labeling  Initiative 1456  (Maddy Reiman is co-sponsor), and the initiative committee still needs a bunch of signatures before July 8th to get this on the ballot.  The only logical way that enough signatures can be gathered, especially at this late date, is for 570 people to volunteer to get 570 signatures each, and they must be gathered before  July 5th  so that there will be enough time to mail them to the Federal Way headquarters, and then processed and taken to Olympia just a few days later . If possible, please, write today or tomorrow and make a firm commitment to get at least 500 signatures, and you can do this by delegating other volunteers to get the aggregate 500 - 570 signatures you will need.     Remember, 4th of July activities and parades are just around the corner, so this would be an ideal time to take advantage of the large crowds at that time.  Time is short, so the
