The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine needed immediate action and Biden and
the Dems, as usual, rose to the occasion. The GQP were stuck between
being obstructionist assholes and following along because they don't
want to look like assholes on this one. Now we get to see what bullshit
they come up with in the Senate.

ABC News released a poll yesterday saying just
37 percent of Americans approve of Biden's job
performance - that is a devastating number
from a liberal news agency like ABC.

To make matters even worse, most Americans, and all
world leaders, know that Biden's weakness, including his
horrifically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan,
encouraged Putin to launch his bloody invasion of
the Ukraine. A decision he would never have made
when Trump was in office.

In addition, Biden's idiotic decision to shut down the Keystone
Pipeline and strangle America's fossil fuel industry triggered
the worse inflation our country has had in 40 years. Which
took America from being fuel independent back to importing
oil from the Russia and the Middle East. It also put $billions in Putin's
pocket because our European allies are now even more
dependent on Russia for oil. Under Trump there was no inflation
and the average gas price was a little over $2.19 a gallon.
Under Biden, the national average gas price is now $4.25 a gallon!

However, there is one positive in this for Joe Biden. It has
distracted the American people from the massive flood
of illegal immigrants and drugs pouring across our
unsecured southern border!

God save America from Biden and the left-wing Progressives
who are working to destroy it.

That's because Trump would've handed Ukraine over to Putin on a silver
platter. He went around the world doing everything he could to weaken
NATO, using some idiotic "other NATO countries don't pay the same amount
of dues that we do" excuse. Everything to him -- even foreign policy --
is like working a real estate deal.

It's going to take a generation to deprogram Republicans who have become
fascinated with the Putin/Trump authoritarian style of governing.

Maybe even 40 years for you if you have that much time left.

P.S. - Afghanistan is in the rear view mirror now and nobody is going to
remember anything about it other than Biden finally got us out of that
quagmire when three previous presidents couldn't or wouldn't.

Just to pour napalm on the fire :D I've seen at least one news story
about someone who was high up in the Trump administration saying that if
Trump had gotten a second term he would have withdrawn the US from NATO.

Trump doesn't even know how to spell NATO.

The Europeans weren't taking Putin's threats seriously -- even though
he'd already invaded Georgia and Ukraine. They were willfully blind to
understanding what giving Putin hard currency for energy meant for the
ability to build up the army.

This invasion of Iran is what led to Germany doing a major increase in
defense spending.

Trump couldn't sell the idea of "spend a lot more on defense" at the
same time he was making kissyface with Putin. Who the hell else is a
military threat to NATO countries than Russia?

Nonsense. Furthermore we aren't out of the quagmire as Afghanistan is
completely destablized and a disaster.

Heard any reports of US troops dying in Afghanistan lately?

Afghanistan is going to have to decide their own fate, just like
Ukrainians are going to do in the long run no matter what Russia does.
US troops (like the old USSR) will never be able to "stabilize" it.

You might wish to get that willful blindness thing corrected.

Destablized nations have always had a negative impact far beyond their
own borders.

How exactly do Afghanis get to decide their own fate?

Trump did no such thing. In fact, he was tougher on Putin than most of his
predescessors.

I don't really give a shit whether they do or not. The US was there for
20 years and the place was as screwed up when they left as when they got
there.

If another Osama pops up there the US can conduct a Special Ops to take
him out like the way the wound up getting the real Osama in Pakistan.
Using US troops as cannon fodder for the Taliban makes no sense.

Your logic is as faulty as your spelling Pubie. Computers have this new
thing now called spell check. You should google it, if you've ever
heard of google.
