Question for Mega

[Ponca Dan]

Over the weekend we had a conversation about the conflict between the neocons and Donald Trump. Maybe I misunderstood you, but I had the impression you believed the neocons - through their mouthpieces, John McCain and Lindsey Graham - hate Donald Trump, and oppose him at every turn. I argued they feared Trump because his campaign rhetoric tended to be less militarily aggressive than they liked, but were pleasantly surprised by his appointments to his national security team because they saw that gave them a seat at the table, giving them the opportunity to steer Trump into a more offensive approach. You told me to watch McCain & Graham on CNN Wednesday evening and I would see how wrong I am. To be honest I forgot to watch the show, so I don't know what they said about his foreign policy/military moves to this point. I'm sure you are an honorable person; so if you watched the show could you give me an honest update on what was said? From news reports I had seen I knew they were delighted with the appointments of Mattis and McMaster. And I assumed they were all for adding $54 billion to the military budget, which Trump is going to propose. How would you characterize their opinion of Trump from the show?

Didn't watch it. Never stated any intention to. However... My assumption was that they would continue beating the Russia drum like the rest of the globalist puppets.

If they didn't, I would further assume they or their neocon overlords took your advice and are keeping their powder dry for now.

Not sure I understand how this ties in to my honorable status. Perhaps you can clarify.

For the record, I read the honorable comment as a compliment for you. Basically stating that you won't distort their responses (assuming you had watched it) and reply whether or not it fell into your view of their positions or not.

Yes, that was what I meant.

Sorry then, Not quite used to your posting style yet Dan.

Forget that part then. No I didn't watch - I worked late - but I noticed no headlines from it, so I'm only guessing it was bland.

Dan seems a genuine fellow. Haven't detected any snark in his responses.

I agree...and it is slightly disconcerting.
