    About time. It'll be interesting to see if the plan gets approved.

    I'm uncomfortable with this. It is too antagonistic toward Russia and asking for trouble.

    War mangers trumped Trump.

    I'm as anti-Russia as anyone, but this is very troubling.

    There goes that cease fire in Syria.

    Let's sell arms to the Iranians and later form a pool over what mental condition Trump has when he gives his testimony under oath to congress.

    Duck and cover!

    I imagine when Trump can't get what he wants from Putin (a Trump Tower in Moscow) through sweet-talk and warm dialogue, this will be his next move.

    Oh, boy.

    Didn't Trump turn over all of the military decisions to the generals?

    Is there an angle here where the money from the arm sales funds Central American freedom fighters?

    So stupid. A new Cold War is not enough gravy for the military industrial complex. Now let's have a proxy war on Russia's borders.
