    Notice folks. Because it fits the NARRATIVE, now trump (super secret Russian spy) is actually Anti-Russia.
    It must be nice to flip the script whenever it fits your narrative.
    Is that how this gender fluid thing works too? The men's room is full so I can identify as a woman to avoid the wait?
    You know. I think i'm starting to see the magic of the left here.
    I'm very close to converting.
    Please sell me some more on it.
    I think you can convert me to full leftist if you can just tell me the one final peice of the puzzle. Where can I pick up my WHITE PRIVILEGE check. I've looked at the mail every day and its nothing but bills and shop-rite advertisements. Do I need a PO box or something to get this check? Answer me and I will pledge my allegiance to the left

    Again, not sure how blowing up their own $20 billion pipeline, which would only damage their economy and the over performing Ruble.

    Oh, have you lost that ability? You seem to know that he's senile and not cognizant but in this situation you can't see the obvious. Sad
    Critical thinkers can do that. Reactionaries do what you're doing.
    It's not a stretch, he said it. The guy was itching to use a nuke any way he could to show he's "tough". He's not. He's insane.

    They are so far up Joe Biden's (____Y____) that they won't cave no matter what. Even a video of him detailing exactly what he would do is NOT enough. You can't reason with a hive.

    My two cents worth...His judgement was flawed from the start and he has gotten his butt whooped from the start... but as post #52 shows we may have other problems on the horizon besides Putin......from the phuster cluck I have been selectively shown in Ukraine I don't think Russia is an big adversary, but China, you bet . they are here to win and will pull out all the plugs.... we are a weak nation with a big mouth incompetent dementia ridden leader.... He has sold our oil intended to fight wars with... to our enemies that are now sailing around Alaska...It very unwise to tell your enemies what you plan to do... And Biden's little threat looks a lot different to Pootin' than it does us...

    Your logic is failing so hard. What can i do to help?
    You are basically saying, that if I order a cheese burger, but really in my mind meant to say BACON cheese burger, that the attendant is stupid for not knowing I meant bacon cheese burger
    Seriously man! Whats' up with you guys and zero logic? Its really sad
    I'm sorry, if you need someone to talk to, i can be here for you.

    LOL! Trump was remarkably aggressive in his relations with Russia. DJT was certainly not a Russian agent, but now he is acting as an an agent of the RP's partisan anti-Ukraine faction. IMO, that is at least as dangerous during this crisis.

    Keep in mind... we spent 11 years in Afghanistan with vastly superior forces and equipment, yet could not win that war. I would also be cautious with against a desperate Putin...

    Well, off the top of my head...

    Removing our assets from Afghanistan (both human and machine) prior to our military is what SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE
    Not canceling the Keystone Pipeline is WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE
    Not canceling arctic oil drilling and exploration is WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE
    Not making the changes on border policy that has led to a 21 year high in border crossings is WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE
    Amidst runaway inflation, not proposing an $8 trillion spending plan is WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
    Amidst runaway inflation, not choosing to forgive upwards of a trillion dollars in government-backed student loans is WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE

    The list could be much longer, but I think that you get the idea. In fact, I am hard-pressed to think of even one positive thing that he has done for this country.

    I am left to wonder, what outcome would be necessary for you to acknowledge that he is performing poorly?

    So he meant sanctions... He already sanctioned.... Putin has not retreated.... so what is Bidens next move?

    Please explain your logic to ""when the advantage to Russia is very plain. Tell me, what is the advantage to the US to do it?""

    Biden has threatened nuclear retaliation for any first use.
    Should Putin or Xi choose to ignore that threat they will not be able to plead dementia as an excuse for their mistake.

    I love that some random dude from the internet is better equipped to run the country then Joe Biden. No offense to YOU but Biden is just that bad.

    Doing alright you say...

    In his mind, the most important thing you need to do during a hurricane is inject yourself with a "vaccine" that won't prevent you from catching a cold.

    I would agree that virtually all politicians are flawed. Its just that being cognitively deficient is an insurmountable flaw. He would be better suited to being a Walmart greeter rather than the leader of the free world. I mean that sincerely, not as hyperbole.

    The covid vaccine also protects against super-Aids, tornadoes and bullets.
    I am living proof.
    I am vaxxed and don't have super aids, never been swallowed up by a tornadoe and never been shot (unless you count paintball)

    Ukrainians are doing the fighting against Russia in Ukraine, and they seem to be very good at that.

    IMO, it would be hard to prove that Walmart greeters would have been worse than many of our Presidents.

    We won the war. We just continued an occupation and we won at that as well. When we were ordered to leave by our own legislature, of the local forces we'd trained and equipped over half turned coat. THEY then murdered their fellows who didn't turn, AFTER we left.
    Our local trainees lost, AFTER we pulled out because our nation's law demanded it. We could have continued to remain in Afghanistan, wasting money and blood protecting a nation from crazed religious fundamentalism that did not want to be protected, in perpetuity.

    Not sure you understand the true concept of winning a war. The Taliban still remains in power and we no longer have a presence there and the the only armistice agreement was "don't kill our soldiers and we'll give your country back to you'. We absolutely lost that war.

    Well let's review: We landed, overturned the afghan military and government, drove the terrorists into caves in the hills, then squatted over the country for 20 years dragging our nuts across their face.
    Near the end our own legislature started to feel in various concentrations a) bad about lording ourselves over these poor benighted 3rd world peasants and b) like we weren't getting a good return on our investment.
    So they decided we were done. So we left: with our only terms being "if you attack our soldiers while we're leaving, we won't leave". They didn't attack our soldiers, hence we left because the laws of our nation demanded it.

    Losing a war looks like what happened to the taliban in the early 2000's.

    It seems incredible that the US would do something this dangerous and stupid, but this administration kept upping the ante on this regard. I didn't believe that the Biden administration wouldn't try to negotiate with Russia to prevent the invasion but it seems that's exactly what they wanted...

    Even though the Russians have zero incentive to sabotage their own pipeline, I hope they did it, because the consequences of the US doing it could be dire.
