For instance Russia is a more pressing security threat than NK.

I would say they are equally the top threats to the U.S. for 2 totally different reasons.

Lol, that's funny. I dig the matching Adidas track suits. I have the same one!

Well European consumers are good Russian import customers, so they might and should lead by example. They should stop their global warming contribution and close the Autobahn and ride bicycles. Also, to end the trade imbalance to set an example might be buying American Natural gas and Petro instead of their dependence on Russia.

Also he did not raise the issue of the poison attack in the UK.

It’s Spy Vs. Spy. One spy gets another. Been historically going on. The UK did a fabulous job in security to protect them too and could not prevent it on his behalf, his bodyguards were probably incompetent new hires of Mayor Khan and were refugees who couldn’t speak english.

The UK is more vigilant to imminent threats of national security like Brittany Pettibone, they prevented her from entering in the UK. Meanwhile, the assassin roams free, entered and exited undetected.

Sounds more like the rantings of a disgruntled employee who's airtime was cut so much I didn't know who he was, and I'm a regular viewer!

Chicken or the egg? Did they cut back on his air time because of a difference in viewpoints? He came across as sincere to me, and I dont see reports of him jumping ship for greener pastures....

It seems he may have had a beef with either Hannity, Carlson or O'Reilly (I know he's gone), one of the biggies. He couldn't stop praising everyone else there, but still felt the need to burn the bridge. If you were leaving the only true conservative network, not such a bad idea to burn that bridge publicly in the hopes of getting picked up by a more left leaning network, which most of the others are! Just my theory, reading between the lines, but again I hadn't seen him in so long, so it's not surprising he's upset! If you're thinking he wanted to report on more Anti-Trump things and they were blocking his reports, that's perfectly understandable too, as CNN has that market cornered!

Not, he's not strong, he's weak. Either delusional or totally owned by Russia.
A pussy.
There is no logical explanation. You don't treat your enemies better than your friends.
Note that he is not the only one, other leaders (in Europe especially) are spineless cowards too, they should take a tough stance and stop befriending Putin. This cannot work. Appeasing despots does not produce results.
But that kind of complacency is a national security risk. The message is clear for Putin and other wannabe despots: do what you want, the world is yours, the US is not going to thwart your malevolent actions. So Putin will continue to undermine the US and allies with the blessing of 45 who is looking the other way and ignoring the real threats. For instance Russia is a more pressing security threat than NK.

I'd love to compare this and your post about President Obama calling Putin after his election during the invasion of Ukraine.

What year was the invasion of Ukraine? I forget.

What year did Obama call Putin to congratulate him, after Putin won the election?

Until I read the news, I never recall him at all as a commentator on any particular segment recently. (I was blocked from Fox by local programming for a few years) Who are the other defectors anyway? Wasnt that Meagan whats her name on Fox?

There are quite a few conservative news websites but I find they cover the same stories, like the left few Are original. Wish I could find more original stories on conservative websites.

60 minutes I have watched on and off 40 years, always liked the exposing of scandals, etc. Ed Bradley, Mike Wallace, Harry Reasoner, Lesley Stahl, Morley Safer, Dan Rather. They had some great shows over the years.

If you stop being a FOX contributor you need to torch the place so you have at least a chance to be on the other networks

60 Minutes has long been my favorite news magazine, but lately I'm dismayed they are following in the footsteps of CNN between the Lesley Stahl grilling of first year Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, interrupting her and generally talking down to her and the upcoming Stormy Daniels expose', I feel they are letting Anderson Cooper lead them down the slanted political road!

I'm pretty sure Mr-X was being facetious, as Obama sat on his hands while Russia invaded the Ukraine. (2014-2015) He was making a point, but I don't think Kate is a big Obama fan either?

As far as expecting Trump to confront Putin about the UK spy poisoning during a re-election congratulatory call, that's like announcing your engagement at someone elses wedding. Not exactly classy!

Looks like pre Ukraine 2012

I omitted that, was reflecting the good part in the past. The public eats up juicy gossip and trash talk, remember Jerry Springers success. CNN needs him as anchor. Oppie and Andy... I mean Oprah and Anderson show, yep.

Election 2012, Ukraine invasion 2014.

So this didn't make sense:

He now looks amazing when compared to 45. Even GWB looks good now. Note that doing nothing like Obama is bad enough, drawing red lines without enforcing them. But actually endorsing and encouraging Putin is pushing things to a new level. Obama is no fool and has no illusions about Putin.

Sure, give the bear a pat on the back. He's a good guy !
No need to call then. A diplomatic boilerplate communiqué is more than enough.

No, it was more him posting stuff he didn't know about. Election 2012, Ukraine invasion 2014.

mr-x called him a racist, Gilsan has been pouting since then. He'll be back. He's having a little snowflake moment.

I know, I think JB ran off Rich Trader already!

Does Randall know what he's getting into?

It's like getting into the ring with Tyson, you take one step over the rope, see him coming and then you're like "Oh hell no!"

Where is @GILSAN I totally miss his meme's!

Gilsan, hurt, not believing a fellow Trump supporter would mention his racism
"Hmmm... What thread are you talking about? So... I post all kinds of crazy sometimes racist bullsh*t? Telling the truth is crazy bullsh*t?"

Last day he posted.
