Note to the Village Idiots ...


Putin started this war. Only an mental case thinks Democrats did!

reply

I don't think I heard the argument that Democrats started the war.

But I heard the idea that if Trump was president Putin would have stayed in his corner.

I believe Putin wishes he invaded Ukraine when Trump was in office. Biden and the West have made Putin's life hell. Maybe not enough though, should have given permissions & weapons years ago.

I think Trump would have reacted a lot harder than Joe.

But ... I guess we will see ...

Would do you think Trump will do when he gets in?

What do you think he should do?

"Would do you think Trump will do when he gets in?"

No idea, Trump is unpredictable.

"What do you think he should do?"

Tough question. I think Putin is not as strong as he wants the world to think he is.

And I think Biden lost a lot of time allowing Russia to advance into Ukraine.

A possible solution: propose peace talks and send NATO/UN peacekeepers in. It would have worked much better at the start of the conflict.

I think USSR, sorry, Russia, wouldn't have openly attacked the peacekeepers and provoke a WW3.

Even now it could work but it would be hard to push Russia out of what they already occupied without starting a conflict.

I'm not sure what it had to do with the Democrats. I thought it was due to Ukraine trying to de-Russianify these border zones, which were more Russian anyway, and had Russian speaking populations which the Ukrainian authorities didn't want to be using Russian language in the schools, etc...

Anyway, I thought that was the official story but I suspect controlling natural resources had more to do with it.
