    From how the Russian military is doing in the Ukraine a second front would cripple Russia.
    Putin will be dead soon from either a political hit or a military revolt.

    Quite possible....if he does die or something....who could replace him could be worse yet....even going as far as launching something.

    As it stands now....I can't see any diplomacy or off ramp anytime soon.

    I've never stated otherwise.

    Even with their zero covid tolerance policy they still managed to beat the US's growth last quarter which we know was dismal.

    As I said earlier China may be using the shutdowns to hurt the US economy. Yes their economy is hurting as well but the question is are they willing to take the hit if they know the US is hurting worse than them? Now even more so after Biden changed the US's long standing ambiguity position on how it would defend Taiwan if China were to attack. Seems now the US will send the military to Taiwan if China attacks. "Yup, let Joe be Joe and his staff should not be walking back his statements". A nut leading the nuts towards war with Russia and now China. I'm sure Joe will be threatening North Korea soon as well. Kim has a nuke for us too.

    I don't see it, frankly. China is already transitioning to become a high cost producer and they'll only accelerate a trend to move production to other countries. Why would they want international corporations to view them as unreliable?
    So, now we've had two Presidents in a row with foot-in-mouth disease.
    Oh, c'mon—you know we're not going to start a nuclear war. Don't forget the Orange Oaf threatened North Korea.

    If Little Rocket Man didn't try to nuke the dotard for teasing him on Twitter, he's not going to try nuking Joe either.

    That analogy may change if China does attack Taiwan.

    Trump didn't invade, war with, and occupy another country on false pretense. You can recover from damage done by Trump in less than a decade. No so with Bush.

    I dunno. The damage done is very different and has very different detrimental effects, so it's hard to compare. Apples and oranges, really. I'm also skeptical about repairing Trump's damage to our democracy in a mere 10 years. Maybe 50.

    The worst of it as far as long term damage by Trump is the supreme Court nominations. That and damage was to international reputation, which I think can be mended and Biden should be mending now.

    I think an argument could be made that had the Democrats not run Hillary against Trump, Roe v Wade would not get overturned.

    He tried to steal it. Period. That's enough to make him the worst US leader in modern history. Getting 75 million votes doesn't changes the fact that he tried to steal the election and have himself installed as an unelected autocrat. But I will agree that there are many global leaders worse than him . . . though he openly admired some of them.

    Neither did Bush. If a doctor tells you your tumor is cancerous it isn't a lie just because later tests after surgery show it to be benign.

    Correct. It makes him a treasonous traitor and a wanna-be dictator.

    It makes him a criminal that should be in prison.

    Talking blistering nonsense mate .. Was Dirty Hillary who done Tried to steal the election .. Trump prevailed in 2016 but, can't blame him for being suspicious about the Dirty DNC against Biden. Calling Free speech "Sedition" "Stealing the Election" .. is silly nonsense.

    Got that right ... Biden and the Fauci Clown are definitely treasonous trators - wanna-be dictators, who should be in Prison .. can add war criminal to the list for Biden .. and selling out our nation to Al Qaeda and the radical Islamists.

    No they won't. This is about East vs West, remember. Russia is FAR from 'isolated'.

    Russia vs Nato is just Western Media's propaganda version.

    These kids have no comprehension that this is much bigger than just Russia. Absolutely blinded by Western BS. Convinced by media that it's a local affair, and that Russia is 'struggling'.

    It's ****ing terrifying, how clueless we are in the West. The elephant in the room is a mammoth, but we can't see it.
