Imagine that Putin had thought about just leasing Crimea and the eastern parts of Ukraine. Imagine the highest cost Ukraine would have charged, and then compare that to the incredible loss of troops, ships, tanks, personnel carriers, artillery pieces, and all that stuff. What a bargain that leasing would have proved to be! But dictators never use their noggins to think, just to plan murderous shit.

That's actually genius. It should be applied in the Middle East, too.

Of course, if you put it in trump's hands, it automatically becomes a slum and goes bankrupt. AND he will not allow non-white people to live there. That could be a problem if we apply it to the Middle East. Otherwise, spectacular idea!

Wait until half the Latino male population that voted for him and a quarter of the Black males. Where exactly do they think he's going to fit restoring them to their better lives in and if they think the elite have caused their problems, don't they see who donated to Trump?

They don't have a clue. He doesn't even respect and care about most of the people who voted him. Like he said before the election, "I don't care about you, I only want your vote".
