    I'm not sure it would have happened with Trump.

    Can you predict exactly what Trump would do in this situation? Nope?

    Neither could Putin...

    And if it did it most definitely would have been somebody else's fault.

    You know, it doesn't matter. All the hot air, second guessing, bat-wing busting, bravado bullshit doesn't matter.

    What matters is what Putin thinks.

    Now, Dr. Evil, if you were intent on taking over a sovereign country, who would you rather have opposing you...Pick one: A) Biden B)Trump.

      Trump. But that doesn't mean I have to, like, kiss his ass.

          What do you think the chances are that at the end of all this, Velensky drops a hugely incriminating file about Hunter and Burisma on the internet then says “Thanks for all the help, Joe…”

            The U.S. has a part to play - but it feels like it would have played out similarly whether Trump or Biden. It's not really about us.

            Similar thing when China gobbled up Hong Kong, recently. That wasn't really about the U.S.

              @xenon yes.

              This is, as I told D4 today, is what's remarkable. To have the (almost) entire international community rise up in its condemnation of Russian aggression, and, more importantly, take definitive action with a powerful weapon, money, is amazing.

              At this point, there's little more that the US needs to do, or for that matter, should do. It's joining in international condemnation.

                    Agreed. To answer @Horace 's question, I'd imagine if Trump was president, it would be a bit more chaotic/confusing with his tweets communicating each thought (for, against, for, against, etc) he had at 2am, and with each tweet we would have folks on both sides claiming he is in cahoots with Putin or not. Anyway, ultimately I think we'd end in the same spot of joining international condemnation with no real military involvement.

                    @Mik good point, the economic pressures are the real chess pieces now, it seems/

                                  The thought has crossed my mind that no matter what the outcome over the next few days, Volodymir Zelenskyi is now in the eyes of the world, what Lech Walesa was to Poland in standing in defiance to the monopoly of Soviet power in central and east Europe in the early 1980s. If that is indeed the case, Putin and his thugocracy will ultimately fail.

                                    It's worth remembering that it was Zelensky from whom Trump withheld military aid unless he would help gather political dirt.

                                    Dirt or simple facts?

                                    Face it, Hunter and Joe are absolute grifting slimeballs and I wouldn't leave either one alone in a room with my daughter. Or my dog.

                                    If Trump had managed to sink either one of their ass, I would have stood on a chair and cheered, knowing thet the Republic was better off.

                                    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                      I have to say, the thought of leaving my daughter alone with Donald Trump doesn't exactly make my heart sing, either.

                                        I'd trust him further than those two slimeballs...

                                          If, after the year long shit show weve had to live through you still hate Trump, then your commitment to stupidity truly is amazing.
