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.

Leaning Towards Federal Way City Council Run

I'm an idealistic person, and I think I would make a very good state representative, but with rumors floating around that a million dollars might be put into the various campaigns for the State Representative Special Election this year, and of course nearly none of that is going to me since I don't cater to corporate special interests, I may file for the Federal Way City Council, Position #1, instead.  In fact, at this point, it's more likely than not that I'll make the more pragmatic decision, which is running for Council, but you never really know until sign-up time at one or another elections office (state or county), so stay tuned for candidate filing week this year, which is May 11th - May 15th.  Presuming that the incumbent in Position #1 on the Council is also going to run, remember, that she is an appointed person to the Council, not elected, and that's the main reason why I chose to run for this particular position nu...

Inspired by Turn-of-the-Twentieth Century President, President Theodore Roosevelt

I am trying to revive the old Citizens Party that was, in its existence in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, environmentally and socially conscious, economically progressive, and was trying to counter the so-called two party system that was then and is now more accountable to big business interests than the people at large that continually vote for it. Even Republican President Theodore Roosevelt, trust-buster and environmentally conscious, saw the need to shake up the Republican/Democratic domination of politics by starting the "Bull Moose" Party when he was out of office during the second decade of the 20th century. We can do the same in this second decade of this century, but we're going to have to break out of the "familiarity breeds comfort" pattern, because right now the familiar means spending a lot of money on boondoggles that have nothing to do with either domestic tranquility or real defense, and we, as Americans, just going by the little that I already k...
