Thread: The Ukraine Situation

Dont forget, if any nato country gets involved in Ukraine, that doesnt mean the US will follow you. I can repeat much of what was said here. But will make one point. Europes military weakness invites aggression. "We stand with Ukraine" but we will send you warm blankets and croissants, no arms as we dont have enough for ourselves.

You compare a team captain with the president of the U.S as some sort of justification? Boy are we in trouble.

Yea and the same with Jimmy Carter. You think that fact made him a great President? Maybe there were no major wars but Trumps incoherent foreign policy and constant escalations of tension just brought more instability to the world. It's the old death by 1000 cuts.

After all an American had never won gold on the giant downhill...but he did it. Was he an arrogant braggart? Sure he was. But that doesn't make him wrong. Just because you're brash doesn't mean you're wrong. Maybe it isn't nice and pisses people off but that still doesn't make you wrong.

Once again, you compare sports to world affairs. Bragging in sports and bravado is the way it is. Mohammad Ali was famous for it. Much of it is looked at as theater. What Trump does ain't no theater. When he says something you had better believe it. Too many in this country including "the media" have never understood him.

To make the statement that the war would never have started if he had been President and that he could stop it in one day indicates just how little he understands about Putin's mindset.

No. I compare your irrational hatred for him to a bunch of guys who hate people who are more accomplished than them. Jealous slandery is an ugly thing.

Who is it that misunderstands world affairs really? Remember a little charade called The Cuban Missle Crisis? Point of fact, the entire Cold War was theater. ALL politics is theater.

Not only that, the last Joint Session of Congress and all those chinanagins the dems pulled was like Monty Python : theater of the absurd.

They did, in 1917 comrade. It's the same old tired, "evil capitalists," mantra the left has been spewing for over a century. That has got to be uncomfortable with the proletariat secretary's arm up the back of your shirt there Mortimer. When will you figure out that he is the only one making any money and has just replaced the emperialists. It has all been debunked before so I won't waste server space rehashing trickle down economics. I know you lefties hate and bash it but it has been proven. LOOK AT THE RECORD.

Don't you get it? This is the script handed to the "useful idiots." It's been their trump card ever since the bolsheviks staged their coup with Lenin as their new czar. Fortunately the left is losing its grasp on the propaganda machine and, thanks to social media (who'd have thought you'd ever hear that) the people have their own voice. The American people have rejected it. Our Trump trumps their trump card.

Har har Reagan. He's the guy we all get to thank for our economic mess. Remember trickle down economics? How's that little ditty turned out for you? Don't forget the "World Economy". According to Big Ron all those terrible factory jobs will leave the U.S (along with the good pay and union benefits) and move to Asia. But don't despair boys and girls because they will all be replaced by high tech and great high paying jobs and we'll train the factory workers to fill those jobs. How's that worked out. It gave us "The rust belt" and all those workers are now working in Walmart or McDonalds enjoying their great pay and benefits.

Yea another great production brought to us by the GOP.

Maybe our current fearless leader can outdo him. He's on the road to.
