Putin is a player. He is doing exactly what Kim Jong Un was doing to test the waters. Russia is mighty, but no where near as mighty as the USSR was. Putin is trying to maintain that old USSR image. Of course Putin wants a 'more flexible' president Like we had, not one who has the brass to stand up him.
If the only way to maintain reason between countries and the US is war, I would rather have war and keep respect, as to grovel out of fear and have the rest of the world laughing at us. If we do the latter, other countries will jump on that wagon quite quickly !!!
The only way to stop a bully is to be willing to fight it out.
I know about Trump staying out of Viet Nam and I would prefer that he had served, but NOW he is president and he is willing to present America as a tough and mighty nation who will not tolerate bullying. Trump attacked Syria and Russia mouthed off about it but nothing has been done. Syria launched a jihad but we haven't had ONE incident from that empty threat. Trump is saying threaten us all you like but you better not make a move.
So, yes, I feel safe under Trump and even more importantly, proud to be an American.

Agree... after 8 yrs. of a faux president who used executive fiat contavening the Constitution and dismantling our liberties and freedoms while restricting individual pursuit of free enterprise and opportunity..and attempting to force the fundamental change of soc/com/Marxism ideology upon America, its a relief to have a President who in a very short period if time has brought back to his fellow Americans a sense of peace through strength, prosperity and p***e in being an American again.
