    @Jolly said in Now CNN says Romney was right:

    Taiwan is gone. Kiss it goodbye.

    Not yet Jolly! LOL

    On a more serious note, what do you think President Biden has done that President Trump would not have done in regards to China?

    And what do you think President Trump would have done that President Biden has not done?

    From the Taiwan side, they have been pretty pleased with both President Trump and President Biden and their support of Taiwan policy towards mainland China.

    At this juncture, Trump praises Putin:

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/trump-praises-putins-genius-gop-fissures-grow-ukraine-crisis-rcna17259

    “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” Trump told a conservative podcaster in an interview published Tuesday.
    .
    "I said, 'How smart is that?' And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. ... We could use that on our southern border," the former president said, describing Putin as “a guy who’s very savvy” and whom he knows “very, very well.”

    It’s fairly safe to say that Biden would not do the same at this juncture.

      According to Fox News, the Whitehouse is saying the Russian troop deployment is an invasion.

      Does this mean we can expect to see a dozen doofusses taking selfies?

      There’s your answer.

      Elbows up!

          I can't believe this needs to be explained to you but admiring someone's leadership style and skills does not mean you agree with what the person is doing. And of course Biden wouldn't be saying this "at this juncture". Or at any other time for that matter - not because he's some sort of superior leader... he wouldn't say it because if he had any leadership skills at all no one would be pointing out how much smarter Putin is than the geriatric old fool Biden. Biden wouldn't ever say anything like that because he wouldn't know leadership skills if it walked up in front of his and slapped him.

                Gonna be hard to sanction Russia, when they are one of our major suppliers of oil. Either number one or two, IIRC...

                  And I think 40% of Europe's energy comes from Russia.
