    Russia has claimed it can disable the entire US Navy in one fell swoop using powerful electronic signal jamming. A news report from the country - where the media is essentially controlled by the state - said the technology could render planes, ships and missiles useless.

    Russia is threatening the US with statements saying that they could destroy our navy and air force by jamming all of the signals. In my opinion Trump should take action to make sure that they don't do that because then America would be vulnerable. I'm not saying that we should attack but we should focus on defense right now.
  • lmakram on 09 May 17
     
    If so, why don't the Russians do it? And now that Russia apparently claimed what they can do, can America compete with this and maybe use the same technology on the Russians?
  • taylor_m on 09 May 17
     
    How credible is this information? If it is credible what is the Government doing about the threat?
  • daniel hetrick on 09 May 17
     
    Because Russia says they are capable of doing this. There is a possiblity of them expressing it over dramatically. If you look at the technology comparison, the United states is much farther ahead. You don't think we can do the same back at them? We probably can. Just get an EMP.

    You cant jam an M16 with an electric bomb.

    I was also reading from a few different sources that an ex-Russian official has suggested that Russia military has the ability to use underwater nukes to detonate a "tsunami bomb" off our coasts. This claim has been officially denied by the Putin govt, but interesting to consider weapons like this. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/05/01/russia-can-launch-tsunami-against-us-nuclear-bombs-buried-ocean/

    I'm not quite sure why we're so worried about alleged claims created by Russia. Not only that but the U.S. military as well as U.S. technology like Daniel said is much more advanced. If we really want to know if these allegations are true find out. Otherwise you stay living in fear over whether something is true or not. Take their threat and do something about it if it's a threat that's that high in severity.
  • Jorden Crinklaw on 09 May 17
     
    I wonder if Donald Trump has done anything about this, or is planning to. Russia threatening us with this is very serious and I have a feeling Trump is not doing much. Could Russia really disable all planes and missiles through an electronic signal?
  • amcclary122 on 09 May 17
     
    Is the government going to do anything about this issue? Or should the people have to worry about a near future war ahead?

    This is an issue that Trump is facing well I think. He says his point of view on it and supports it with facts and things he has seen.

    Trump doesn't seem to know when to stay quite and to keep his mouth shut instead of constantly going and the never ending tweeting.

    "Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump tweeted: "Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!" I feel like they are just assuming that it is a terrorist when it could just of been a normal person.
  • maxaqramirez on 18 Sep 17
     
    True true. The definition of terrorist is, "a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." This person may not have been pursuing political aims, they may have just been trying to cause a ruckus.

    "There is a web of connections between the Trump campaign, the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks and the public disclosures it injected into the presidential campaign. Federal investigators are examining some of these relationships and whether any of them were part of an effort to coordinate with Russia's election-meddling efforts."

    I'm not surprised Trump decided Barrett was put for this spot. She's not preaching the same things Ginsburg did, Barrett's voice and privilege will not to justice for Ginsburg. That's honestly so disappointing.
  • carmellahargens on 13 Jan 21
     
    Barrett and Ginsburg are two totally different people and Trump had found that Barrett was best fit for this position. He has all of the power to do so and put whoever he feels has the best fit for this
  • ndvorak on 27 Jan 21
     
    Ginsburg's voice and impact on America are tremendous and forever will be as is any Justice to hold the position of the supreme court. Barrett like any justice does her job serving the court, it shouldn't be a battle upon if one justice is better than the other or if Barrett taking the seat of Ginsburg was too soon or disrespectful when in reality the seat was going to be taken one of these days. Barretts did her job and although it might not be as impactful as Ginsburg she's doing what she was sworn in to do, serve the country and the constitution to its highest level.

    This process took too long to complete before Trump left office. Now some feel that finishing the Senate trial is a waste of time. What do you think?

    McConnell is an utter ghoul. Trump, even in the long tradition of criminal presidents, is in a whole 'nother league, and absolutely should be tried for his many, many crimes. The idea that just because he's out of office shouldn't be a factor. That would be like saying a hitman shouldn't be tried for murder just because they quit.
  • owenjacobs on 27 Jan 21
     
    impeaching trump is only going to hurt the Biden admin, the first 100 days are they most important but now with the senate trial people are going to be more focused on that then the thing Biden is doing
  • ndvorak on 27 Jan 21
     
    If you label Trump as a criminal then you would have to label every other politician as one as well. The fact that he's not in office not only makes him a civilian but trying him at the federal level, just to block him from running again in 2024 is pointless and a waste of congressional time. As well as the American government needs to put the focus on other things than an ex-politician, let's start worrying about getting money to the American people and getting vaccines out.
  • noahsandbothe on 27 Jan 21
     
    If the Senate does not vote to impeach Donald Trump it will prove that a President has the power to do whatever he wants as long as his/her party is in the majority. Also, I know that if President Biden was to do the same thing and literally incite a riot on the Capitol then house republicans and republican voters would be calling for impeachment. No matter what party you are, doing what Former President Trump did is disgusting and justice has to be served.
  • cadenoles on 27 Jan 21
     
    Just like the last impeachment, this one is a waste of time. We need to focus on the US and not Impeaching Trump. Given the current situation, we do not have the time to impeach Trump. If we impeach him it's going to be another 3 months of wasted time just like the last impeachment.
  • joeypo10 on 27 Jan 21
     
    I feel like people tend to judge Trump on how he acts rather than what he has done. Yeah he acts childish but if he's done good things why cant he be credited for it.
  • eballenger on 27 Jan 21
     
    I think they should not try impeaching again because now that Trump is out of office they don't have to worry about whatever he does. America has several other huge problems and needs to focus all of its attention on getting life back to normal before worrying about a man that's not in any federal position.
  • brandonwch on 01 Feb 21
     
    Commenting of what ndvorak said here. I do, in fact, believe most politicians are criminals. Every politician that has not tried to use their powers to quell deaths during Covid, or tried to stop our shipments of weapons to Saudi Arabia, or tried to stop our use of drone warfare, they have blood on their hands.

    Donald Trump didn't take the virus seriously, got sick, and is now back to healthy. This isn't a wakeup call because he recovered fast and never appeared to be in bad shape.
  • hharker376 on 12 Oct 20
     
    He never appeared to be in bad shape which led many to believe it was a hoax or that hospitals are hiding something. He did not take it seriously and Americans will not take it seriously either if he doesn't step up first.
  • mmailey052 on 12 Oct 20
     
    Trump never seemed to be in any bad shape and because of this, it is not really a wake-up call. He was not strict on safety precautions and did not wear a mask all the time.
  • laurenhansen168 on 12 Oct 20
     
    Trump should have been more serious about the virus and should have taken some more precaution. he could have been better about wearing a mask and his safety more too.

    I think President Trump should wait for the next election to vote on a new Supreme Court Nominee, so the new president has a choice on who they would like.
  • eoneal271 on 28 Sep 20
     
    I do not think that Donald Trump should be able to appoint a judge right now. The election is not even 3 months away, and Obama wasn't able to appoint a judge when he was in office and the election was not as close as it is now. I think it would be really unfair if they allowed him to do so. It is very important right now who gets into office and picks a new judge so I think that htye should wait.
  • gozzello162 on 28 Sep 20
     
    I think there is a massive double standard here. This same argument was made with Obama when he was in office on an election year and he was blocked from a nomination and now Trump is being allowed to nominate a judge.The senate will push it through because it is republican dominated. It makes me sad to think that this is what our country has come to
  • margaretgrover on 28 Sep 20
     
    The double standard here is obvious because the Senate is Republican-controlled they are going to go back on what they said during the last election just to appease Trump. It is not right and brings into question their credibility, how can we trust them to support us and do what they say they will do if they can't even follow their own rules?
  • abbyparks on 28 Sep 20
     
    I agree with the double standard thought. It is unfair to allow one president to nominate a judge while another has to wait. I believe that they should wait to bring in a new court justice.
  • shanarief on 28 Sep 20
     
    I do not think Trump should´ve been able to appoint a new judge, I believe it should have been the next presidents responsibility.

    I agree with Shana, I don't think trump should be able to pick someone, it should be up to the next president
  • bradenlasale on 29 Sep 20
     
    I think that after the election this year, that person elected should appoint a new judge.
  • bayliegirres on 01 Oct 20
     
    I think we should wait until the new president is elected to appoint a new judge so it's fair because that is what Obama had to do.
  • ethompson038 on 02 Oct 20
     
    The 2016 election was 9 months after the death of a judge and Republicans made Obama wait. We're days before and they're telling Trump to nominate now. I think that's wrong and that they should wait until after the election.
  • hharker376 on 05 Oct 20
     
    I think we should wait to add a new person into the spot. Thats what RBG would have wanted and thats what had happened in the past.
  • jcooley186 on 05 Oct 20
     
    I agree with waiting to add a new person into the spot, there's a lot at risk here when finding a fit person for RBG, the person who Trump nominated goes against all things RBG was for, so I think it would've been best to wait.
  • bguevara787 on 05 Oct 20
     
    I think we should hold President Trump to the same regulations that Obama was held to when he was in this same position.

    This protest is so dangerous for so many reasons, protesting should be peaceful and there shouldn't need to be guns there especially when people feel threatened. Everybody has a right to their opinion, but they should voice it in a respectful and peaceful manner otherwise it makes them look uneducated and violent.

    "Trump, who has fiercely guarded his tax filings and is the only president in modern times not to make them public, paid no federal income taxes in 10 of the past 15 years." Any idea why many Americans feel this is hypocritical of the President?
