The President advances a three-pronged strategy for national security: 1. Negotiate a peace deal for Ukraine. 2. Negotiate nuclear arms drawdown with China and Russia. 3. Cut military spending by 50%
The pro-war Democrats whose members of Congress support our constant string of no win wars are dismayed by the language of ending the constant carnage of the young, peace, and cutting ever increasing trillion dollar military budgets with alarm--revealing a big part of the problem. Thank you, Dennis! Keep it up! Time for a change!
Bull. The chief beneficiaries of a permanent state of war know no political allegiance. They know only their positions of privilege and advantage through their generous incomes. And how many working people depend on the "defense" industry for their paychecks? Don't lay it on the Dems' doorsteps. It's the profit system that has no conscience that lies at the root of all our shortcomings.
the MIC strategically scattered their factories across the country to assure that the "many working people" dependent on those war industry jobs would not allow their reps to vote down defense spending and to assure the reps who voted for the spending and wars were also assured of a job....just take a LOOK.
I can't imagine how anyone can believe that Trump is serious about doing anything positive. Lying comes as easily as breathing for him. if he does cut Milatary Spending he is only doing it to further his own agenda to be the wealthiest most powerful person in the world, He is dangerous. And it would be foolish to align oneself with Trump in any way.
You are correct that he is tremendously untrustworthy, but so is the leadership of the Democratic Party (they just talk a better game). I would support almost anything that would take down or diminish the MIC, as well as anything that would diminish the power of the intelligence agencies that serve themselves and the oligarchy rather than the American people. I think it makes sense to support any effort that bring us progress, and to oppose the efforts (from either side) that would take power from the American people.
Who cares! All that matters to me is STOP SPENDING MY MONEY. I care only about that. I don't care who has to suffer, who loses jobs, or anything else. If Trump can stop the government stealing from me, I'll be his bitch!
It’s so bizarre how Dennis Kucinich has become an uncritical Trump Stan. He used to be such a reliable voice of integrity and even wisdom. Now I have no idea who he is but I miss the old Dennis Kucinich.
I think I like the new Dennis Kucinich. He seems to now have a strong grasp of reality and had been able to see through the corrupt left. The military industrial complex, big business, and big pharma have bought, paid for, and own our politicians. Congressmen and senators have sworn oaths to represent their constituents and their country. Instead, they quickly become corrupted by backroom deals that benefit the aforementioned businesses who graciously pad the wallets of our leaders.
I think the list of ways to change make sense and should be implemented into law.
All true, but Trump is worse. He’s a liar and a crook out only for himself, and now is controlled by Musk. These plans of his have hidden agendas and it concerns me that wise ones like Kucinich are not looking deeper.
w/ all due respect, this is a delusional comment. 'controlled by musk', really?
liar - here's a question for you: who was president for the past 4 yrs? Joe was deemed unfit to stand trial in his classified docs case by Hur, we all saw what happened on that debate stage-those of us who are rational knew it was the case in 2019 (biden has had 2 brain surgeries late in life - where most patients prognosis is not good in terms of mental acuity/memory/cognitive function/etc).
only out for himself- the trump meme-coin is tremendous proof of his willingness to seize a moment and participate in crypto-fraud-pump&dump schemes.
however, the more we learn about social security, US AID it seems the DNC and washington careerists were using tax payers to fund their crooked deeds.
what hidden agenda are you speculating about, or do you have proof?
what hidden agenda exists with right-sizing the USA fed gov - which has occured before - including the military?
what does trump stand to gain by cutting the waste, fraud & abuse? You realize the DOGE team is only investigating and reporting using 'read only' means...meaning they cannot change the data but can SEE IT.
turn of corporate news - it is not your friend. it is not informing you nor entertaining unless you enjoy being worked up into a frenzy about fictional narratives. for instance: CBS 'news' who's sunday show host (Brennan) claimed free speech in Germany in the 1930's led to the holocaust.
i can appreciate it is hard to hear. our preconceived notions dramatically impact how we view EVERYTHING.
the late Daniel Kahneman had a great book about this: Thinking Fast and Slow:
4 weeks in and already Trump has pushed back against free speech censorship in the USA + now abroad with JD Vance's address to the EU, sought to protect female athletes and spaces from mentally ill men, cut federal funding to schools who mandate covid shots - which even Deborah Birx recently admitted these shots should have been targeted for the elderly/high risk oly, and DOGE is shining a spotlight on waste and fraud which went unaddressed by DC for decades.
trump is pushing for peace. we should all remain skeptical because politicians say many things and their actions often do not follow. but this is the most exciting administration in my life time.
The more people like Dennis Ohioans and the US citizens can get in to Congress and fewer like Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Chuck Schumer, John Cornyn the better.
Who cares! All that matters to me is: STOP SPENDING MY MONEY. I care only about that. I don't care who has to suffer, who loses jobs, or anything else. If Trump can stop the government stealing from me, I'll be his bitch!
As a moderate who voted for Dennis as a Westpark home owner. Dennis, has not changed. The Democratic party has changed. Seek the truth, because the mainstream from CNN to Fox to the Plain Dealer are currently, and have been lying to you.
Same guy, he’s just reading the room. For those willing to take their blinders off, they’ll realize that Trump isn’t as bad as he’s portrayed by the lying media, and that a lot of his policies make sense.
It only makes sense - keep our eyes on the prize, peace and justice. Trump can surprise us. We should make issues and policies the enemy, not people who could determine an outcome, because people can change, they often do. It leaves a door open not to make a person the enemy.
Noah - I loathe Trump and everything he has always stood for - and I felt that way even back in the days when he was an A-list celebrity making guest appearances on Oprah.
That said, the Democratic Party has pretty much died. For three elections in a row, they relied on lies, deceit, and dirty tricks to hold on to their power. Under Biden, we were brought nearly to the brink of armageddon.
I don't like Trump, and I don't trust him... but if he's going to talk about reducing global tensions, pulling out of wars of choice, reducing nuclear stockpiles, and cutting defense spending, well - that's a good thing - and something Democrats SHOULD have been fighting for all along.
Dennis is honest and we can always rely on him to tell the truth. Partisanship is for the brainwashed. As a lifelong Democrat, I have been horrified by the insane actions of my party that make Trump look sane by comparison. The Democratic Party has lost the true left. Ask Kit Carbello, Craig Jardula, Jimmy Dore or Cindy Sheehan. I wrote in my dogs in the last two Presidential general elections. Trump is actually to the left of the DNC. The fact that Tulsi (whom the DNC attacked for being too far left and more correct on most issues than the sold-out DNC) and RFK (who cares significantly more about the environment, health and the food supply than anyone in the DNC leadership) were nominated by Trump puts Trump to the far left of Kamala and Biden. BIden/Harris oversaw and supplied the bombs for the worst genocide in history. You can't get worse than that.
You're hung up on personalities. All that matters is that the government's reach be reduced, and I get to keep more of my money. I don't care who accomplishes that.
And i believe in the tooth fairy. It is not about the sociopath, it is about election lies,they all do. But as an admitted rigger of his fake election, A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND a hater of americans , if you think he is fixing anything. Sorry. To me his best and biggest accomplishment as a fake prez, not allowing blinkers in any govt facility.
You're hung up on personalities. I don't like Trump, either. But if he'll end government waste and abuse of MY money, I'll change my mind and forgive him for his past transgressions. I don't care who suffers as long as I get to keep my money! I don't care if Genghis Kahn is president.
Excellent point! "STOP looking for new ways to kill." That's ALL that matters. I don't care who loses jobs or medicine or whatever. Stop spending MY money on the MIC. It's not a defense system. It's a killing system because the criminal US government is ALWAYS on the search for new ways to ruin another country with its meddling.
I don't want any military at all, wars do nothing but kill and mame innocent people and brainwash soldiers, as well as make millionaires billionaires. The USA has become the bullies of the world and created the hate these damaged countries now have for us. Peace will come whether you like it or not. Cut the hell out of the Pentagon the DOD Homeland Security TSA and the 100% corrupt CIA!
Totally agree Dennis. The critics should stop watching CNN and start appreciating the positive changes in our government's response to the desires and hopes of its people.
Come on, Tom, the DNC KNEW Biden had Parkinsons and Parkinson's dementia when he ran in 2019. And they lied. And lied. And lied. Then, they lied some more.
They lied about Ukraine. They lied (and lied and lied and lied) about Gaza (hint: there weren't any beheaded babies tied to clotheslines.) They lied about blowing up the Nordstrom pipeline. They lied about why they were trying to ban TikTok.
So, yeah. The sick fact is they are all chronic liars. There's nothing special about Trump.
Who was it that said, “Watch what they do, not what they say.”? Your sentiments and intentions are commendable. But, Dennis, you are much smarter than this. There is ALWAYS an ulterior motive with the Fanta Fascist.
I agree, I believe Trump only has the worst intentions, likely his plan for any "surplus" is for it to go into the deep pockets of the rich. However, I also believe it is possible for an outcome to be benevolent, in spite of evil intentions, that's what I am hoping for. ;-)
And he believes Russia and China will reduce their military spending? I think he’s making us vulnerable and essentially giving us up to Russia. Enroll your children in Russian language studies.
We’ve all been indoctrinated into hating Russia and China by being steeped in a full time and never ending stream of the best propaganda that money can buy. As others have pointed out, our “defense” budget exceeds the collective defense budgets of the next nine countries, and we use that budget to bully the rest of the world while Russia and China do not. Helpful hint: Russia and China are not our enemies—our leaders (and their owners) are.
The USA spends more on weapons than both China and Russia, as well as all of the NAYToad nations combined. Consider this fact when spreading fear and disinformation.
Bonnie - can I ask you what you know about Russia? Or China, for that matter?
Why, exactly, are you afraid of Russia?
I live in the EU, and until the entire Russia hoax (pretty much proven at this point to be a hoax), Russia was just another trading partner for the EU.
I think the Musk/Trump plan is to take the defense spending to the private sector, so private equity, Wall Street & billionaires profit.
Here is a paragraph from a Guardian article yesterday:
Musk’s plans have already excited Silicon Valley mainstays such as Palantir, whose executives praised Doge on an earnings call last week and talked about how the disruption by the billionaire’s strike squad was good for the company. Palantir already has won hundreds of millions of dollars in US military contracts in recent years for AI-related projects.
Why are you “carrying water” for Trump/Musk and their White, Christian Nationalist Party? What he is really doing is making a compact with Russia and China to support each other’s dictatorships. Just like making this “deal” with Putin about Ukraine is only to grease the wheels for America to annex Gaza, Greenland and Panama, if not Canada. And Trump didn’t need money from military contractors because he has Musk. These men are racists and fascists. It’’s all well and good to want to reduce the military industrial complex, and promote peace…..but “getting in bed” with this regime is so wrong headed. You are putting out a welcome mat for people who have done many illegal things, are destroying our Constitution, Courts and the protections they promise for ordinary Americans, and could care less about you or anyone but their “kin.” Haven’t you seen enough of the damage already inflicted to retract your support? You’re making a faustian bargain. You are lying to yourself…..and that is the worst thing for which to be held accountable. You have now lost my respect, along with most politicians (yes you are one) and elected office holders, both local and national.
I don’t call this diplomacy. Everyone describes Trump as transactional: “if I do this for you, then you do this for me.” Russia and China’s economies are in trouble, so I would guess there’s some kind of backroom dealing going. Plus, they need him re Europe and Taiwan, and he needs them, as I said re Gaza, Greenland, Panama. They are looking at the world as a chessboard cloaked ‘religion’. They care nothing about humanity; only their wealth and control. But we’ll see, won’t we…….
The pro-war Democrats whose members of Congress support our constant string of no win wars are dismayed by the language of ending the constant carnage of the young, peace, and cutting ever increasing trillion dollar military budgets with alarm--revealing a big part of the problem. Thank you, Dennis! Keep it up! Time for a change!
Bull. The chief beneficiaries of a permanent state of war know no political allegiance. They know only their positions of privilege and advantage through their generous incomes. And how many working people depend on the "defense" industry for their paychecks? Don't lay it on the Dems' doorsteps. It's the profit system that has no conscience that lies at the root of all our shortcomings.
dear sweet doll
the MIC strategically scattered their factories across the country to assure that the "many working people" dependent on those war industry jobs would not allow their reps to vote down defense spending and to assure the reps who voted for the spending and wars were also assured of a job....just take a LOOK.
They have an allegiance to those politicians who will vote for their expenditures in the interest of political expedience.
I can't imagine how anyone can believe that Trump is serious about doing anything positive. Lying comes as easily as breathing for him. if he does cut Milatary Spending he is only doing it to further his own agenda to be the wealthiest most powerful person in the world, He is dangerous. And it would be foolish to align oneself with Trump in any way.
You are correct that he is tremendously untrustworthy, but so is the leadership of the Democratic Party (they just talk a better game).

I think it makes sense to support any effort that bring us progress, and to oppose the efforts (from either side) that would take power from the American people.
Narcissistic megalomaniacs are always tremendously untrustworthy.
Are you the chairperson of the Zelensky for (American) President PAC?
Who cares! All that matters to me is STOP SPENDING MY MONEY. I care only about that. I don't care who has to suffer, who loses jobs, or anything else. If Trump can stop the government stealing from me, I'll be his bitch!
you already are
Wow...wouldn't want you on my wagon train!
Only a minority of it is taxpayer money. Most of it comes from public sources on the stock market.

then there are Biden's pardons of his family on the way out the door.
crook? pardons for crimes committed but not indicted for going back more than a decade?
trying to say this as politely as possible, you need to reexamine the facts and the meanings of the words you choose to use.
I hope Kucinich represents the beginning of new bipartisan support for a peace rather than a war economy.

Close half of the bases, stop looking for new ways to kill,

Cut up that pig, Trump. The "defense" department is a welfare whore. After that, finish cutting "foreign aid" by cutting all aid to israel.
I don't want any military at all, wars do nothing but kill and mame innocent people and brainwash soldiers, as well as make millionaires billionaires. The USA has become the bullies of the world and created the hate these damaged countries now have for us. Peace will come whether you like it or not.

Totally agree Dennis. The critics should stop watching CNN and start appreciating the positive changes in our government's response to the desires and hopes of its people.
Donald Trump is a proven CHRONIC LIAR. Only a fool would believe anything he says.
Biden was sharp as a tack.
Come on, Tom, the DNC KNEW Biden had Parkinsons and Parkinson's dementia when he ran in 2019. And they lied. And lied. And lied. Then, they lied some more.
They lied about Ukraine. They lied (and lied and lied and lied) about Gaza (hint: there weren't any beheaded babies tied to clotheslines.) They lied about blowing up the Nordstrom pipeline. They lied about why they were trying to ban TikTok.
So, yeah. The sick fact is they are all chronic liars. There's nothing special about Trump.
LOL Dems whining about 'liars" after Oblahblah AKA Schroedinger's Single Payer Advocate is as surreal as it' is hilarious.

Very little of the "defense" budget does anything to defend us or make us safer.
Quite the opposite.
Does not Celine's First Law state that "'National Security' is the chief cause of national Insecurity"?
And my question is, what about Elon Musks contracts with the military? What about kickbacks that congress gets? Who will monitor these?
Please make this important article shareable!
I have long been struck by how low the price of a politician.
And he believes Russia and China will reduce their military spending? I think he’s making us vulnerable and essentially giving us up to Russia. Enroll your children in Russian language studies.

That is plain rediculous.
Russia's military budget is abput $100B per year. That is a mere one-tenth of the Pentagon's budget.
So, when you gonna enlist?
Is that question for me. I’m 75 years old and I did serve 20+ years in the USAF. Retired CMSgt
So? The various paramilitaries supporting the Kiev regime are not picky.
I think the Musk/Trump plan is to take the defense spending to the private sector, so private equity, Wall Street & billionaires profit.

Maybe, just maybe, you are lying to yourself. Seek the truth.
The truth is blasted at us every day now. All anyone needs is eyes and ears. Trump is a lying racist self-serving monster.
You're too hung up on personalities.
Russia and China hardly need Trump/US to support their dictatorships. They existed before Trump and will likely exist after he's gone.
Since when has diplomacy become such a verboten concept?
I don’t call this diplomacy.
