WOLVERINES!!! Trump would have made Ukraine safe for Disney and all of our values!! Great.
Trump wouldn’t have brought the West to its knees like this. The Biden Entity is as bad as it can be. The whole thing breaks down to energy policy, but the ramifications go way beyond that.
Cheating in elections is the American way. I was living in Chicago when Illinois was moved into JFK column with dead people voting. That is why the candidate must overcome the margin of cheating by exuding charm & charisma and win hearts of minds for voters to drag their azz to the voting booth (or vote by mail, but even that takes some effort). IMHO Trump should never have said “this covid is just another flu and die away when hot summer weather arrives”. Many voters perceived that as Trump not taking covid seriously. This in spite of Trump pushed warp speed availability of vaccines.
Sadly in politics perception trumps facts.
I don’t think Putin would give up that information for free. What he would do is use it to blackmail all the corrupt politicians. It’s too bad our government is thoroughly corrupt and unable to fight corruption. The fib and just us department are just tools of the corrupt scumbags.
You have never understood president Trump’s mentality.
I can bet my bottom dollar Trump would not have sent $56 BILLION to Ukraine, and we don’t even know where that money went. May be 10% went to the big guy.
The fix is in. Putin us being well paid to not expose anything. He’s going to get rid of what the globalists were doing in Ukraine, but he’s not going to talk about it.
If Putin serves you bland borscht, eat it bland. Don’t go for the salt. He’s not a nice man.
Yes, it has been done for a very long time, especially in urban areas. Unfortunately, things are coming to a head. This is no longer about capital gains tax rates. We are collapsing. The last election (which they very obviously cheated in) is playing an obvious role. We are in French Revolution meets the first Mad Max movie territory. I realize that the impulse is to think that it cannot happen here. It’s happening here, faster in some places than others, but it’s still happening.
No! When a neighboring country of a super-power joins enemy camp and installs weapons it will not be tolerated.
Recall the Cuban Missile crisis which was at risk of starting WWIII?
Agree 1000%. Election reform & cleanup is more urgently needed than any other priority.
Russia has a legitimate bone to pick with those shipping weapons for the purpose of killing them. They’ve decided to fight and I doubt like hell they have the slightest concern about American public opinion or sensational outbursts coming out of western politicians, particularly the US.
They drew a line and it has been crossed so let’s see if more than can be chewed has been bitten off.
With respect, I don’t think that NATO expansion is what you think it is. That job was Hillary’s when she was SOS under Obama, and has been abused to create whatever crime syndicate that Ukraine has become for the Democrats and their world travelers.
NATO is a bunch of Belgian pedophiles, in my opinion, and should have been gone when the Soviet Union fell. It seems to me that NATO helped to create all of the fake charges against Trump that immobilized him from correcting the situation in Ukraine and elsewhere.
NATO is the Swamp.
Russia doesn’t have a legitimate gripe.
Russia promised to respect Ukraine’s borders and they violated that promise in 2014.
NATO was nowhere near accepting Ukraine. And Russia doesn’t get to tell Ukraine who they can associate with.
This is about the oil and gas that Ukraine discovered in it’s eastern parts and in Crimea.
But in addition to not wanting a competitor for oil and gas and wanting more of a monopoly status, Russia would also like the grain that Ukraine produces, and advance their desire to regain the territories of the Soviet Union.
Let’s hope it’s not too late. Otherwise, it’s going to get really ugly.
The very legitimate gripe they have is violation of Minsk II, the nucleus of the entire issue. They’ve stated this clearly and repeatedly.
Now they are going to enforce it. Anybody that doesn’t like that will have to stop them. The negotiation period is all over.
He’s right, as always...
Yet he didn’t. So your imagination needs to review the facts.
They also said they had no intention of invading.
They also said they wanted to restore greater Russia and that states like Ukraine had no right to exist apart from Russia.
They also said many things through the years about energy policy that makes it clear that’s what this war is about.
They leaned on the Russian leaning leader to stop progress on oil production and he did. And then Ukraine overthrew that guy and put in a western leading guy, and Russia violated their territory and seized Crimea and funded and formented a rebellion in the east led by thugs.
Try to focus and pay attention.
ABSOLUTELY YEP!!!
I do not think you know anything that you are talking about. Look at past European history. Look at the 1930’s. and see what German aggression ment for the world. What is happening now is very much like that.
A lot of it is/was personal. I’m willing to let the coming year happen in order to define the electoral issues. If it’s about going to be going to or continuing war with ... pretty much anyone (but probably Russia and/or China), then Trump’s got no chance, because they will just cheat. If it’s about having food and electricity, then Trump will easily win. If it’s the second one, and he wins, a lot of really unpleasant things will need to be done to make it matter.
