Russia maybe took Trump's comments yesterday as a "threat"?

[kentuck]

Sometimes words can be interpreted differently when they are read, as opposed to hearing them spoken.

Yesterday, Trump made a comment about "blowing the ship out of the water" that could have been taken as a threat by someone who read the quote or maybe did not speak English?

I sincerely hope this ogre does not start a war by accident.

3. International waters

Is he so intellectually incurious that he's never heard the term? Nevermind the ramifications of international law. Guy's just begging for a seat in the dock at a war crimes tribunal.

5. The Republicans had better get off their asses...

...because the whole world is watching.

4. I think they may be realizing that this idiot may not be so useful after all OR....

they want to appear at odds so it looks like hey we are not in bed together...look at us we are not in cahoots! Just my theory but I'd like this little saga to come to an end already...LOL.

7. I'm really hoping that in the end this scorched earth strategy will backfire. So now that Hilly is

gone the next in line is the press...he's going full throttle with making them the bad guy. They always have to have an object that they are fighting against..there is a big void with the Clintons gone - the media is next and like I said I hope this ends up backfiring...the media and patriots within the Gov't are going to save us and then maybe we can come together as a country...we will have to heal after this MASSIVE SCANDAL THAT BETTER BREAK.

9. he DID at least suggest a threat to Russia.

when asked if there would be "a response" to Russia's actions this week, he responded saying that he won't disclose if he is considering a MILITARY response. we all know him well enough to know that means he is considering a military response.

10. If Putin wanted to, he could strafe one of our ships

And Trump would be helpless to respond.

He's sold his soul to those folks. He risks exposure if he ever attempts to retaliate for any incident involving Russia.

12. That's a scary thought.

But possible, in my opinion.
