And The Trumptards Shall Shriek "Fake News!"

[henryp]

I support Trump but I think all news is nearly fake news. Each side will bend it to their own benefit.

The BBC goes way out of its way to be impartial. Maybe you should look at that and shudder at how the world thinks of Trump.

I think Trump is better than Hillary for Russia, because there is less chance of WWIII.  A lot was made over Trumps tweets making him likely to use a Nuke, or something solid like that.  But Hillary was as hawkish as any neocon you'll find.  

The biggest issue for russia, I'd guess, is that Trump probably won't try to overthrow Assad's government.  Hillary is pro bombing the shit out of muslim countries to fix them.

Well the people in charge of the Doomsday clock disagree. Trump is a danger to the world and made it highly likely there will be a war because he does not know what he's doing, he's winging it and doing it very badly

The Doomsday Clock is pretend.  They've also started including climate change.  But it's just some folks guessing and then representing the guessing on a clock, instead of with odds, for reasons that make no sense I can determine.

And the presidents aren't just winging it.  They have an array of generals they are delegating to.  Picking courses of action from options presented.  Do you believe Barack Obama, based on his one term in the senate, knew what he was doing in running the united states military?  Or Bill Clinton because he was governor of Arkansas?  Or Ronald Reagan, as governor of california?  Or George Bush as governor of Texas?  The only one in recent history that seems like they might know on their own what was going on, was George H. W. Bush, who was director of the CIA.

And it's quite likely there will be a war.  There's always a war.  Usually two, it seems.  But with Russia and China, the one's that matter the most in terms of end of the world, Trump seems to have taken a live and let live policy, while Hillary was ratcheting up the rhetoric.  

How are we going to get in World War III with Russia if Trump is buddy buddy with Putin?

I will take a look at BBC news though. The reporting in the US has been very sketchy of late.
