Many gasped recently when Donald Trump said he’d encourage Russia “to do whatever the hell they want” with NATO allies who don’t pay their share of the transatlantic alliance’s defense spending. It was a brazen but hardly surprising turn from someone who has shown a long and loyal affection for Russian President Vladimir Putin, a wanted war criminal.
Trump has called Putin — a former KGB agent who jails and murders critics — smart, savvy, and his friend. Trump sided with Putin after a U.S. intelligence community assessment found Russia meddled in the 2016 election. More troubling, in 2017 Trump shared highly classified intelligence with the Russian ambassador.

Amazing. Even after it's proven to be a democrat funded hoax, some will not let it go.

You might be a Dim if you can spin any sarcastic line into a hate-filled screed to "Get The Other."
By the way, a "born in and raised in and living in Italy" friend of mine who hates Putin more than Poopey Goldbricker hates Trump totally agrees with the sentiment expressed in Trump's statement.

President Trump's statement was just as outrageous as Henny Youngman asking everyone to take his wife - - and then saying "Please!"
Youngman was the worst kind of male chauvinist pig - - throwing his wife out in public - - and begging anyone to come along and take her away. Trump and Youngman - - two peas in a pod-duh.

What's the difference between the way Putin treats his enemies and the democrats treat Trump? Putin does it a different way but it is the results are the same.

Not to worry. No one of any common sense and intelligence reads the papers anymore. The Inquirer’s subscription list consists of people with caged birds and fish markets.

Get ready for more of these lies on a daily basis by the leftist perverts and criminals in the media. This is how they win elections (along with cheating). They tell lies about their opponents to the stupid and illogical over and over again and the stupid and illogical repeat them to other stupid and illogical people. We can only pray that some of the normal populace have begun to see their methods.

Hillary went there with an apology tour Reset button. Lot's of money from Russia went into the Clinton Foundation and it is for sure that much of it did not go to legitimate charities but the FBI and the DOJ seem disinterested in pursuing an investigation. Hillary was totally Russian bought and paid for by the time she ran for President.
Trump doesn't want to get the US into more wars. He is the most antiwar president we have ever had. And the big leaders in DC all have ties to arms dealers. Plus they have underhanded deals with Ukraine, Russia(in the past now), China, etc. And it profits them if they keep a war going. They still have big money and deals with the Ukraine and so they don't want Russia to come in and clean house.

The zombie heart of the KKK motivation is beating in new Philadelphia. Democrats are angling for a modern incarnation of slavery. City of Brotherly love killed the Boy Scouts, helped steal the 2020 election to keep it up. What was that Sonny & Cher song....The Beat Does On....whole lotta hate & lying going on.....'Editorial Board' for a city that is on track to 3rd World, where economic slavery and murder is an everyday thing....Glad the Philly INquirer is focused on the important things for their citizens/serfs.... Haven't hear that Gov Abbott has been sending any busses to Philly, if not, move them up the list....

Not sure they could write something like this in the regular section of the newspaper so they used the editorial page to dump every possible comment they were told to write from the DNC, I presume.
Or, maybe The Democracy Integrity Project is still operating their daily "research" which had major funding from George Soros and Rob Reiner as per TheRealClearInvestigation article from Paul Sperry.

#4, do you have any modicum of a sense of humor? That was Youngman’s trademark throw-away line, which has offended no one ever…besides you. Good grief!

What Ties? The longest running, most expensive, most intrusive investigation in American History determined that there were ZERO ties between any Trump people and ANY Russians, in fact, no ties to ANY foreigners of any kind.
ALL of the "Russians" involved were under the employ of the DNC, Hillary, and/or the FBI/CIA...including CIA agents with made up fake identities pretending to be russians in efforts to entrap Trump folks...who did NOT take the bait.
Even the "Russian Lady Lawyer" that fraudulently set up a 10 minute meeting with DJ jr at Trump tower was in the temporary employ of Hillary, was actually Ukrainian, and had worked for the US Govt, The State Dept, and even the Defense Dept under contracts in the past.

It must be hell if you are born without a sense of humor. When they state that the writer is "Editorial" it is only proof that nobody had the courage to take credit for the stupid excuse for journalism.

Taking the "let Russia do whatever" comment in hand, it's clear that we can't want Europe's security more than they do....and if they want to skimp on that, why should we make up the difference?
That's how I interpret the comment and I'm surprised that those Main Line editorial writers can't see it.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, like 98% of the Legacy (corporate) Media, richly deserves to go to the place called "Out of Business," with resultant unemployment rates of 100%. These poor citizens and Democrat whores, who can't distinguish good from evil, are so far off base, they should be in compulsory night school, learning (as 0bama told coal miners fifteen years ago) "how to code." Or else pick up a shovel and dig some ditches or some graves at the local cemetery. People who think like this are useless to humanity. They need new skills and muscles.

So..... is this one of those garbage-filled scandal-rags in the rack at the checkout aisle at the local Wal-mart, like the National Inquirer?
Sounds like it.
