    Israelis, Among Most Enthusiastic Supporters of Torture, Red Cross Survey Says

    British Army formally surrenders to the American Continental Army at Yorktown. Nope. They were a uniformed army, fighting by the codes and conventions of war, recognized as such by foreign powers, the British included. It is not simply what they wear, it is their conduct and status.

    Israelis, Among Most Enthusiastic Supporters of Torture, Red Cross Survey Says

    Non-uniformed insurgents and terrorists are NOT "enemy combatants. Not legally, not morally, and it is utterly disrespectful to the brave soldiers of the British, Mexican, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, etc., armies my country has fought, to put human scum in their company. And even if...

    Trump says to cancel order of costly new Air Force One

    Good for him! :tup::usflag: Now if we can do something about how our ex-presidents suddenly, and mysteriously, become multimillionaires shortly after leaving that office. :agree:

    As Trump vows to stop flow of jobs overseas, U.S. plans to make fighter jets in India

    He may. As I said earlier, I'm more of a free market adherent and disagree with his economic nationalism, but he may do exactly what you suggest. I'm guessing you are just venting your own views rather than seriously asking to understand why ideological conservatives like Reagan, Thatcher...

    As Trump vows to stop flow of jobs overseas, U.S. plans to make fighter jets in India

    You may be right, and I am one of those who opposed him, but this is the one issue that I think will nevertheless, get the most opposition from ideological conservatives like myself.

    As Trump vows to stop flow of jobs overseas, U.S. plans to make fighter jets in India

    Trump's economic policies are not only a reversal of American trade policy going back for decades, they will be a 180 degree turn away from his own party's free trade, free market, polices. On this issue, he will even face opposition from his own party in the Congress.

    As Trump vows to stop flow of jobs overseas, U.S. plans to make fighter jets in India

    Because It doesn't matter if it's Lockheed getting the benefits and it doesn't matter if there would be more defence spending. It doesn’t even matter that the F-16 has already been built in other countries. It will only matter to Trump and more importantly, to Trump working-class supporters...

    As Trump vows to stop flow of jobs overseas, U.S. plans to make fighter jets in India

    I don't think so as he views American companies moving manufacturing oversees in an extremely negative light and if he reversed himself on this issue, he would immediately lose the very base of the industrial working-class, who's votes made him president.

    What small chance there ever was for any production in India, has effectively ended with the election of Mr. Trump.

    Donald Trump Speaks To Taiwan’s President, Reversing Decades Of U.S. Policy

    Russia, most certainly, yes. China, no. I don't know who was saying "best for China" but they obviously were not paying attention to his campaign speeches. As for defence increases, that was going to happen no matter which Republican was elected president. It's what we do.
