Then Biden is confident Russia will invade, but only drips out sanctions slowly. Brandon is a PoS.

Here is the real problem


So many in all levels of US politics (both sides) are so tied up financially with our enemies that they won't do a damn thing

It's the dialectical materialism of globalist initiatives versus the pan Slavic Eurasian sphere with the auspices of Eastern Orthodoxy butting heads. In the eyes of a number of people, there can't be allowed a counter approach or opposite number. Whatever Putin's real motivations are or if he's a true believer of his faith, he represents that duality which even Soros has admitted serves as an alternative to the EU.

Me? I have little sympathy for the Ukrainian government and a great amount for its people. Zelensky serves as a patsy for EU designs in Ukraine which seem to fundamentally orientate a country towards the sort of socio-political-cultural upheaval and spontaneity that's come to inflame much of the West. There might be economic benefits but I think the example set by predecessors should be looked at long and hard.

If Trump spent the rest of his life dedicated to trying to be as conservative and Republican as possible he still wouldn't be in the same stratosphere as Pence.

Trump, you, and lots of other Trumpers are the RINOs.

I will NEVER be convinced he won this election legitimately. Too bad the American Freedom Convoy didn't do what the Canadians did. I wanted to see Washington DC and New York City totally cut off and shut down, all the bridges into NYC blocked with food and supplies unable to enter with supermarkets empty in NYC and Long Island which will force the liberal elites to act, the DC Beltway totally in gridlock and not moving, all the bridges into DC blocked.
And your lack of being convinced + a cup of coffee = worth 5 cents.

The biggest loser was the United States.
Some people think Obama picked Biden for two main reasons....

1. His deep relationships on Capitol Hill

2. As an insurance policy against impeachment.

But there must be others, who see things differently.

Would like to know what their thoughts are.
China and India have decided to stay neutral and not pose any sanctions on Russia, which means Putin can use their systems to keep money flowing. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which happen to be magnets for some of the wealthiest people in the world, are also not gong to sanction Russia. It's all too easy for someone very wealthy to fly to Dubai and use their accounts to fund Putin's war and you will never know about it.

And Ukraine has recently found that they have a large quantity of lithium mines, mostly on the Eastern side which is what Russia is after, and these are the minerals needed to create the EV car battery.

Putting Trump aside for a minute, are bible thumpers really "conservative"?

I know we somehow bastardized conservatism to include the religious right in the last 50 years, but aren't real conservatives for small government?

Does small government really regulate morality?

I don't dislike Pence, and I thought he did a fine job as a Vice President, but I don't consider him or people like him to be real conservatives, and I hope others are moving in that direction too.

Merely pointing out the hypocrisy, anyway, it seems I had hit a nerve.

"Senate sources," LOL!

You can tell this is a lie because, until Russia actually invaded, Zelensky himself did not take the threats too seriously. So why would he say Biden should have sanctioned Russia for an imminent attack that he himself was not confident would even happen?

Unlike Michelle, who was picked by Obama because she was black(yeah, read his book), most likely Biden* was not chosen by Obama but rather by his handlers.

5 cent cup of coffee? Is there such a thing anymore? Anyway, it's probably as much as your opinion is worth too.
