    In what way?

    Seriously?

    Read my signature. Did you happen to notice that Russia has invaded Ukraine and Putin is making a mockery of Biden's tough talk?

    I don't admire Putin at all.

    Why don't you take your own advice and move to Russia since you've done so much to aid Putin by electing Biden.

    What an illogical thing to say. Joe Biden is not America.

    I think Biden's weakness encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine just as Obama's weakness encouraged Putin to invade seize the Crimean peninsula in 2014.

    Why hasn't Biden delivered on his tough talk?

    Why didn't he prevent this from happening and make good on the word America gave to Ukraine in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994?

    The pushover you elected said if he was president Putin's days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe were over, but precisely the opposite has happened. Putin has gone beyond intimidating our friends in Eastern Europe - he is devouring one of them as we speak.

    And the imbecile they voted for isn't sanctioning where Putin's money comes from.....or Putin himself.

    But (read my sig) Putin's days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are OVER!!

    Putin’s doesn’t keep his money in his name anyway. Any sanctions on Russia hit him personally because he’s a kleptocrat and profits off all of it.

    From a debate standpoint, your argument IMO, is weak, not credible, and full of holes (in which, however, could fit, some interesting discussions). Putin is already openly threatening nuclear reprisals, if NATO troops were to get involved in Ukraine, which is something that has perked up the world's ears, as something totally beyond the pale, in the speech of nations or diplomats. It has raised concerns, even within the Kremlin, and among Putin's own advisors. That Putin would extend this threat, to those imposing international sanctions, is just not believable.

    Further, I will challenge you to make clear your opinion of what should be the "stiff-spined" reaction of any U.S. president (currently Biden), who
    was told by a Putin, against whom we had, justifiably (in the eyes of most of the world) deployed sanctions, that he was going to fire nuclear missiles our way, if we did not end those sanctions. You imply that wimpy Biden would cave. So, for the record, it is your, consider opinion, that in the scenario of a seemingly mentally-unhinged Putin, threatening us with nuclear destruction, the "strong," thing to do, would be to call him on it, hoping (presumably) that he was only bluffing?



    As an interesting side note, which shows how, once one side begins using inflammatory language, it can become a self- sustaining fire, I heard on the news today, that a NATO official was commenting on a new, Putin speech, in which Vladimir, once more, brought Russia's nuclear weapons into the discussion of Ukraine, and the NATO official said that Putin, "shouldn't forget, that NATO has nuclear missiles, too."

    Biden is weak as **** which is why Putin made his move now. But to be clear...Biden shouldn't do anything then what he's already doing. The problem with Biden is everyone could predict his response. Not so with Trump. Which is why this didn't happen under Trump's reign and why it's happening now. It's also why China will roll into Taiwan after a bit of time after the Olympics.

    Biden projects weakness and predictability. That's what you elected. But you solved the mean tweets. So yay!

    ~ Yes former Taxi driver Putin Pipsqueek is feeling emboldened at the moment. This is likely going to be his "15 minutes of fame ". My guess is if puny Putin is actually threatened he will disappear into a hole in a mountain or a tunnel somewhere — like all brave dictators do.
    We may find out exactly what the UN is made of. Could get interesting ... especially if China moves on Taiwan.

    I don't want to get involved as much as anyone, but I recognize A: We're involved and B: If we get more involved sooner, we come out of it less scathed. We learned this after WWI, We learned it especially after WWII. You put out fires before they become a storm. Putin wanted a fight, the West needs to give him a fight or he'll take the fight to us and we'll be especially bruised. He's counting on us being weakened and intimidated, he's counting on us not really struggling against his hard power. He's being a bully. And there's no teachers here. We've got to stand up for ourselves.

    Erm.... would that be the same NATO who put out this ad?


    I think if I were Putin, that ad alone would have convinced me to attack. Diversity is not our strength. Technological weapons and men with the hearts of lions are.

    LOL. Diversity isn't really working wonders over here in good ole US of A. The experiment is failing. Hard.

    Anybody the thinks Trump was praising Putin is the flower of their family. In context of the conversation, he was ridiculing Bidens weakness and showing how rediculas it was for Putin to send in tanks and call it a "peacekeeping mission".
    Even Trump isnt idiot enough to believe that.
    You leftist clowns will grasp at anything to keep power. Whats wrong, not enough babies to kill on your day job?

    Its almost like people are becoming more and more aware that 'diversity' is just code for destroying American greatness.

    Nothing wrong with diversity. Its the racism that often comes with it and doesnt get addressed is the problem.
