Is Pence a clueless puppet?

[Dramovitch]

First he is lied to by Flynn. Trump knows all about it and says/does nothing.

But as soon as Pence found out and cries about it, papa Trump had to get rid of Flynn or he'd have one upset puppet on his hands.

Now that Pence has been pacified he is back to being the loyal puppet and was sent out to assure the world that the US still supports NATO.

"The United States is and will always be your greatest ally," Pence said. "Be assured that President Trump and our people are truly devoted to our transatlantic union."

But Russia's Lavrov is calling for a Post-West world order saying NATO is a Cold War Relic.

Russia has always wanted weak & separate European states that fight amongst themselves,
ever since Westphalia

The Peace of Westphalia saw international order as an intricate balancing mechanism; the Russian view cast it as a perpetual contest of wills, with Russia extending its domain at each phase to the absolute limit of its material resources. Thus, when asked to define Russia’s foreign policy, the mid-seventeenth-century Czar Alexei’s minister Nashchokin offered a straightforward description: "expanding the state in every direction, and this is the business of the Department of Foreign Affairs."

That is also the current Russian world view and it seems like Russia will always get what it wants now that they are unopposed.

Trump says "NATO is outdated" and he has no plans to support it other than with empty promises or contracts that aren't worth the paper they are printed on. It could be a good money making protection racket though.

Was Pence hired for his straight laced looks & political image? He looks better than the fat Jersey bridge guy, and the reality TV host knows that image is everything.

Pence seems like a spineless fawning marionette that has no idea what is really going on! NATO is dead and he is looking like the biggest stooge right now. Or do you think he knows that all the pro NATO stuff he is spewing is false?

In the week before U.S. Vice President Mike Pence visited Brussels and pledged America's "steadfast and enduring" commitment to the European Union, White House chief strategist Steve Bannon met with a German diplomat and delivered a different message, according to people familiar with the talks.

Bannon, these people said, signalled to Germany's ambassador to Washington that he viewed the EU as a flawed construct and favoured conducting relations with Europe on a bilateral basis.

Bannon is trying to usurp power from Pence.

 

[oldshadow]

He is the vice-president see all former vice-presidents.

In fact see crazy Joe.


What's funny as hell is liberals that want to get rid of Trump, well guess who takes over then.

No liberals (the stupid ones) Hillary doesn't get to be president if something happens to Trump.

I'll never understand Hillary Fetishists. She's done. Dead. No Power. Get over it.

The world has moved on. The issues are now the rise of Russia, Authoritarianism, and the end of American values, democracy and freedom.

Pence really must be clueless.

Power rests with Bannon and Putin.

Barron is trying to usurp power from Pence.

[ultramanhyata]

This should have been clear the day a man who billed himself as an evangelical, Christian conservative agreed to become VP to Pussy-Grabber-In-Chief.

(Pence also completely rolled over on his former, very, very strong support of TPP.)

 

[lecter]

He repeated Trump's demands regarding NATO spendings of our allies, you just cut that out

Wasn't Dick Cheney pretty much running the show during the Bush Administration?

And unfortunately since Trump is not very experienced in politics or how stuff in Washington generally works (this being his first gig) I can see Pence's involvement in this administration being substantial.

Thats one thing I hope Trump learns fast. Surround yourself with the best people and take in consideration what they say.

He looks pretty clueless to me, what with the tiny eyes and that all American squint
