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

Our Newest Blog

There's a new blog of ours called "Council" that started on 2/15/15.  This is the blog that you now want to check to keep up with the goings-on of the "Mark Greene for Federal Way City Council" campaign.  Not that you shouldn't keep checking this blog as well, but Revived Citizens Party will, from this time on, concentrate more on party matters, particularly, as opposed to the Council campaign, which is officially a non-partisan campaign.  The non-partisanship of local campaigns, generally, is decided by Washington law, although we realize, of course, that politicians like to hide their true colors behind official non-partisanship.  However, we're different in that respect, our blogs make it pretty clear that Mark Greene runs a third party and no longer affiliates at all with the major parties.  The "Top 2" primary that arose in Washington, circa 2008, made that possible.

Our Washington State Lieutenant Governor Candidate Blog

There will be a special place to write about the Lieutenant Governor 2016 election, which I'm in, and specifically Washington state issues and matters, generally, even when the election is over.  All of the recent Lieutenant Governor posts on FW Politics  will be carried over to the new blog, Washingtonian.   I am proud to be a natural-born American and a Washingtonian, and I will need your vote to stand up for the Common Man in our state and our nation.   [Originally posted on Washingtonian on April 29, 2016; revised on May 26, 2016.]
