Trump defended America First by keeping Putin's Russia from invading Ukraine.
During the Biden administration’s tenure, multiple conflagrations have pushed the world to its most unstable point since the end of the Cold War.

Unfortunately, in response, Washington seems to have produced two equally terrible strategies: One, blindly follow President Joe Biden’s policies that have allowed this chaos to reign, or two, give in to the forces of evil seeking to destroy our republic and retreat within our borders, shutting our eyes to the dangerous world around us.
Both are wrong. There is a better solution, one that brought us peace and prosperity for four years under President Donald Trump: America First.
First, let’s be clear: America First does not mean letting Russia, China, and terrorists do whatever they want. America First means you take concrete and necessary steps – like we did successfully in the Trump administration – to secure the freedom and prosperity of every American. The success we had during our four years wasn’t an accident – it took real work and a backbone.
Today, we are confronted with a China-Russia-Iran-North Korea axis which seeks to undermine America. In Europe, under America First policies, we kept Putin from invading Ukraine while providing the Ukrainians with weapons to fight their own battles.
Under Biden’s failed policies, Russia went back on the march, crushing personal, political, and religious freedom in Ukraine at every turn.
Yet without a single U.S. or NATO soldier firing a shot, Ukraine has caused Russia to suffer losses of manpower and equipment that it has not experienced since World War II.

No, I don’t want to talk to you at all. You are not worth my time.
Okay, the reality is that you can’t address the questions, just like backpacker_c and others when asked specific questions. You all clam up, not programmed or capable of having a substantive discussion. Facts don’t compute. No problem, we are all very used to seeing this response from several of you here on FR over the years.
Damn right. This fraud really burns me up.
A man cannot provide for his family if he does not take care of him self first.
“The best way to undermine Russia is to drill baby drill.”
Something that I’ve been saying also and I support ending this war. However, all that I hear from our geniuses running the country is the continued LOCKING DOWN of drilling, so I guess your idea never occurred to them.
ukraine first is America last.
Maybe "Shill harder for foreign gay despots"
Perhaps "Zelinski needs another house!"
Or ... "Support the Graft"
Maybe they could add an addendum mandating that after Ukraine wins the war, Russia has to pay for the “loan” as reparations. Then they can call it a fully-guaranteed loan. /s
Good idea.
Trump said he told Putin he’d hit Moscow if he invaded Ukraine and said Putin believed it 5-10% which was all that was needed to keep Putin from invading during his term.
Putin publicly stated for many years that if Ukraine were to join NATO, Russia would consider it a red line crossed and invade. The lunacy of Ukraine joining NATO never came up while Trump was President. Trump called Ukraine corrupt.
With the Biden regime, Elensky was emboldened to poke the bear with this tweet:

@ZelenskyyUa
Ukraine government officialCommend @NATO partners' understanding of all the risks and challenges we face. NATO leaders confirmed that [Ukraine] will become a member of the Alliance & the #MAP is an integral part of the membership process. [Ukraine] deserves due appreciation of its role in ensuring Euro-Atlantic security

If Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, then it can say goodbye to eastern Ukraine. You will lose part of your land! Good Luck!
More Elensky tweets and statements followed to the effect that Ukraine was invited to join NATO and that membership was imminent.

By Jamie DettmerUkraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy tweeted during a NATO summit he attended in June that Western leaders had confirmed his country “will become a member of the Alliance.”
The Ukrainian leader’s tweet, seen by some Western diplomats as ill-timed and intended to goad Russia, drew a predictably furious response from Kremlin officials. They have long warned that the accession of Ukraine to NATO is unacceptable to Moscow, the crossing of a red line which would be met by retaliatory measures.
Despite — or because of — Kremlin threats, and a Russian military buildup along the borders of Ukraine, President Zelenskiy has continued to press for Ukraine to be admitted into NATO as soon as possible, saying it is the only way to deter further Russia aggression. Others, including some Western leaders, fear it would do the reverse — invite more Russian aggression. ...
Zelensky kept popping off about it. FAFO. It's not like Russian intentions were kept a secret.
