That’s a conspiracy theory and has no basis in fact. What is based in fact is that a nuclear power just launched an invasion of a democracy because its dictator didn’t like how people voted

That is something that the leader of the free world should care about

And that.

I am gonna believe. Ukrainians are gamers 2. It's a great callsign.

Lol he stopped sending aid to Ukraine to help Putin prepare for the present day attacks.

We owe Ukraine support whether we have bolstered their forces or not.

Thanks for pointing out how Trump made it easier for Putin, which is literally the main feature of his presidency.

Defending trump is super sad. Facing reality about trump doesn’t mean you have to then like Joe Biden. They can both suck. Just fyi

It seems to be a mixed bag with Trump:

“Indeed, some of the toughest sanctions in years have fallen on Russia’s elite under the Trump administration. Sanctions imposed over Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 have not been lifted, Trump approved the sale of lethal weapons to Ukraine — something Barack Obama did not do — and he has ordered missiles fired at Syrian military sites, openly targeting strategic operations and allies of Russia.

But critics would argue that’s not enough, pointing to his delays implementing congressional sanctions and frequent praise of Putin’s leadership, as well as the reluctance to act on Moscow’s cyber aggression”

Supposedly Biden admin rolled those sanctions back. Now one could argue that sanctions don’t do much/enough, that’s a separate discussion tho IMO

Yeah Sanctions are bullshit.

Just a way that paper pushers (cowards) can say that they did something.

There is a big difference between words and bullets.

[Ooloo]

I just don't see this currently happening, at least not so brazenly, if trump was on his 2nd term now. I mean, you kind of *want* an unpredictable president when it comes to deterrence. It's like fighting tony ferguson; he's not that great but he's so unorthodox and unpredictable he's dangerous.

It's just too easy to call biden's bluff, he's such a generic empty suit.

Don't get me wrong Trump easily could have ushered in WW3 on his own some other way. But in this specific scenario, I think Putin would have been deterred. At least until the next US election.

I agree, had voters not sent Trump to the garbage bin of history then everything would be just peachy and roses.

Don't forget to eat your paste.

I ate crusty bread, butter, and some leftover marinara today.

How fairs your food intake Horza?

WTF?

did marxism already take over where you live?!

[starkind]

There where little tiny bits of mushroom and sausage and the butter was from a good farm.

What is marxist about that? It was fresh baked bread too. Not like wonderbread or anything.

I've been eating really well lately. Maybe a bit too well. Good quality ingredients. Whole foods. Steaks. Fresh salads. Cage free eggs. Peanut oil. Top shelf wine. Etc.

The honey I got today was pretty good too. Especially compared to the honey in the Ukrainian rations. Could be better. Not too shabby. Complaining about all that seems ��.
