Those that voted for resident Oatmeal voted with their feels and not with their brains.

Now, the world suffers for their folly.
You’re gonna have to clarify more. We’ve had a couple resident oatmeal’s lately.

Russia is amassing up to 100,000 troops near Ukraine for a potential January invasion, report says citing US intel

by Sinéad Baker
Nov 22, 2021, 5:10 AM

The US warned allies Russia is amassing troops on Ukraine's border, Bloomberg reported.
Sources said it could put 100,000 troops there, around half of which are there already.
The US warned Russia could invade in early 2022, the report said. Ukraine warned the same.

The US is warning that Russia is massively expanding its military presence along its border with Ukraine and could invade in the next few months, sources told Bloomberg.

Sources described as having knowledge of the situation told Bloomberg that the US is sharing an assessment that there could be around 100,000 soldiers deployed if Russia decides to go ahead.
Why does it matter now? Where does the Constitution say for America to intervene?

You are mis-remembering. Trump wanted Ukraine to "announce" an investigation against Biden so he (Trump) could use the bogus investigation against Biden in the election campaign.

The truth about DJT shows all the time. He told the public what he wanted. He tried it on January 6, 2021 and failed.

Russia would be doing the exact same thing no matter who was president and Trump would be doing the same thing as Biden if he was in office. This Trump strong man meme is tiresome, people forget that Turkey told him to get out of the way so they could attack the Kurds. But the fantasy lives on.

There is no way of knowing, but Trump was non interventionist. It's unlikely he would have beyond providing arms. Maybe sanctions 9n Russia if they invade, but that's it.

What fantasy, we had a four year period during which the Russians did not amass 200,000 troops at the Ukraine border preparing for an invasion, now you people are here declaring that had Trump won re-election that it would still be happening. The evidence is overwhelmingly against your argument, it’s figuratively smacking you right across the jaw in it’s obviousness but still you people are just keeping up with this idiocy.

Why????

I highly doubt Trump can spell Ukraine or find it on a globe. He would only have any interest in Ukraine if money laundering was mentioned.
