So, I don't get what's so good about all this party above country, and the attitude like yours or Hines' of never saying anything good about a president from the other party and never saying anything bad about presidents of your party, especially Trump. That gross bias removes all credibility going forward.

> He didn't invade as soon as Biden took office, either. So I don't see the correlation. Putin attacked when he was ready, or so he thought, and he may well be regretting not to have attempted before being ready, since with Trump in power, it could have been another Crimea cake walk. Too late.

That's how it is, for ALL presidents. Too many people are making predictions about the sanctions that we have never seen happen. We just don't have the kind of control sanctions imply. Besides, any strategy based on expecting to out-suffer Russians will likely fail.. The solution is in the battlefield; lost battles have immediate repercussions in Moscow; and only so many can be sustained.

Russian TV are now parroting what I told you above:
'Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said that he had decided to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 rather than earlier because of economic and military factors.

'Speaking on Russian state television on March 19, Putin laid out the reasons why, according to him, Russia didn't go for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2014, when it invaded Crimea and started a war in the eastern Donbas region.

'Putin claimed that Russia wasn't ready militarily in 2014 for a full-scale war, primarily because it didn't have "hypersonic weapons."'

So NO, the pathetic fat fuck, bottle blond with no brains and no class, a clueless, clownish, orange-faced, jerkoff tub of shit moron you like so much.... had nothing to do with Pootin's decision to invade Ukraine again.

But don't let little annoying facts upset the lovely sack of theories you have. As you were.

I just don't want to process anything with 'Trump' in it, anymore, and succeeding at it. But we cannot always look away.
This loser now predicts that Putin will conquer Ukraine. The old mad-king routine gets noticed less and less, even loyalists. Any of them here, still? Or have the regular Deplorables made amends after this winter of discontent?
After Waco, it's clear that Trump is now irrevocably all in with the seditionists, the conspiracy theorists, the “Trump or death” fanatics, the Vladimir Putin fanboys—the whole appalling lot of them.

Betcha some of you still like him...

Hines? Come on, man. Woke ain't cool, but the GOP is in tatters. I'd cross the floor just to get away from that lot.
