H.R. McMaster delivers parting shot to Russia before he steps down as National Security Advisor

[Jacque67 7,328]

Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, in his last public remarks as President Trump’s national security adviser, strongly denounced Russia for its increased aggression around the world and declared: “We have failed to impose sufficient costs.”

His comments come a little more than a week after he was ousted by Trump, who is replacing him with former U.N. ambassador and conservative firebrand John Bolton.

And they came hours after Trump, in a White House news conference with Baltic state leaders, stated, “Nobody has been tougher on Russia than I have.”

Despite a series of recent actions taken by the Trump administration against Russia over its alleged role in poisoning a former Russian spy in Britain, interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and global cyberattacks, Trump has been criticized by Russia policy experts and Democrats for refraining from forcefully condemning Moscow for such actions.

Adviser.

We cannot afford to antagonize Putin. Give him what he wants and it will get better. Appease at all costs. There is no proof he is a thug. /s

The Fat Orange Nixon is his appeaser. This so called President is weak, his legs turn to jelly anytime Putins name is mentioned.

Thank God people with your thought processes (Hillary) don't control the nuclear weapons because if they did the Earth would probably be in the beginning of a nuclear winter right now. Thank God people like McMaster were shot down by Kennedy during the Cuban missle crisis or most of us would have never been born. Trymp did the right thing firing this drunk but I'm not a huge fan of Bolton.
