Funny, you all loved Hiltler 2.0 when Trump was his bosom buddy lap dog.
Trump thinks Hitler 2.0 is genius apparently.

This idiotic position begs the simple question: Why did Putin invade Crimea while Obama was president and Ukraine when Biden was president?

Obviously, when one is hoping for a successful invasion, you would want to have the weakest opponents possible to insure success. If Trump and Putin were "friends", as lunatic dems contend, then invading both Crimea and Ukraine would have been SO MUCH EASIER when a "friendly" president was in office.

However, Putin chose correctly to invade Crimea and Ukraine when two VERY WEAK PRESIDENTS WERE IN OFFICE TO OPTIMIZE HIS CHANCES OF SUCCESS.

The facts speak for themselves. Putin did nothing while Trump was in office as he told Putin he would bomb Moscow. Tyrants do not fear racing baiting idiots and those who do combat with pronoun shaming. They fear credible, viable force. Putin correctly identified two of the worst, weakest presidents in US history to attack.

The answer is apparently simple. Putin thought Trump (Putin's lackey) was going to be reelected and that Trump in term 2 would withdraw from NATO as he wanted to do. So Putin would have a free hand attacking Ukraine, Moldova, and the Baltics.
Biden won, so Putin at least has gotten part of his plan carried out anyway with the Ukraine invasion.

Putin was going to try and take back Ukraine regardless of who is president. Its just happening now. Trump thinks he is best buds with Putin, Putin cares nothing for him. Trumps is in America which they despise. Putin doesnt like a democracy, Trump on the other hand, wants to rule like Putin.

I think Trump told his supposed friend that "A man's got to know his limitations."

I posted this in another thread, but probably would have fit better here.

A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that 62 percent of Americans believe that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were still in the Oval Office. As former senior intelligence officials under President Trump, we agree with that view.

Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 when George W. Bush was president. Russia took Crimea in 2014 when Barack Obama was president. Russia has now invaded Ukraine with Joe Biden as president. However, when Donald Trump was president, Russia did not seize territory from any of its neighbors.

During his four years in office, Trump not only successfully deterred Russia from acting against Ukraine, he effectively deterred a lot of bad behavior across the planet. He focused on ending America’s foreign wars rather than launching new ones. At the same time, he brokered the Abraham Accords to expand peace in the Middle East.

Trump was not a "Putin stooge"


This, along with fascist, racist and white supremacist was just another fabrication insult that the left placed on Trump.


He was none of those things...but that did not stop the lying and projection.

American citizens will not even drive less/buy less fuel in support of Ukraine. LOL Unfortunately our support for Ukraine is only in words.

That is very imaginative and just idiotic liberal speculation.

So why in the hell did Russia invade Crimea when Obama was in office and the US was a strong NATO member? Putin took Crimea because he knew Obama was weak,as is Joe. Remember Biden being "more flexible" after the elections??????? He was greenlighting Putin.

Trump was trying to hold the NATO nations accountable for their fair share of the funding for the alliance. The current situation shows that he was right again. NATO was not prepared for this, as many of the NATO members have not kept up their part of military spending for the alliance.

Yep! Also, when Elon Musk is calling for the US to ramp up oil production, which is counter-productive to Tesla, maybe Liberals should set their egos aside and do what's right for the country and humanity. Oh well, the next time a transgender female gets blocked from competing in a sport, they will all change their profile pictures to offset them looking the other way while genocide happens.
