Never heard of the horseshoe theorem but it seems to have some validity in some ways. More importantly, I'm glad you are doing well with an optimistic prognosis.
Really, 4 years of Trump and no Russian Expansionism, 4 years of Trump and we had European Nations starting to pay the share they had originally agreed to and 4 years of Trump and no one left Nato. Now that the Russian interference in the 2016 election has been determined to be a democrat false flag event, where do you see the evidence that Trump did anything to help Russia that leads to your comment. Just more Trump Hatred.
That’s not accurate. Russia permanently expanded into Syria on Trump’s watch. They also greatly expanded their activities in Africa. Let’s also not forget that Russia was biting off pieces of Ukraine all through Trump’s tenure. In all his summits with Putin, I don’t recall Trump ever objecting and he even famously held up military aid to Ukraine for political reasons.
Russia support for Syria increased to counter Trumps efforts, not the same as Russian expansion Russian support for African nations is not the same as Russian expansion. While there was a continued military operation in the Donbass, Eastern Ukraine, it would have truly yielded ground to Russia except for the military support from Trump, in reality their was no expansion of the Russian footprint in Ukraine at that time. Sorry, those are the facts on the ground. That held up military aid was a joke.
Trump welcomed Russia into Syria because he wanted to bring American troops home. Do you remember Russian troops moving into US bases there in 2019?
Trump talks big, but he’s an isolationist and has always been a Putin aficionado. As you say, holding up aid is a well-established fact and it likely encouraged Putin to take more overt measures. If he assumed that Biden would react as weakly as Trump, he was proven mistaken.
It is a massive jump to get from not wanting America to spend billions on Biden's war in Ukraine to those same people being Pro Putin. I do not support the American financing this war and I am not pro Putin.
Also, ideological difference between the Nazi's and the communists is a non issue as it had nothing to do with their goals, the issue is that both of these regimes wanted big government controlling every single aspect of life. Sound Familiar, today Democrats in America want exactly that and when they achieve it, it is not even a small jump to get a similar outcome to Nazi Germany and/or Socialist Russia.
Give me a scenario where the U.S. stops spending billions to provide Ukraine with weapons, ammunition, and supplies, but Ukraine still wins the war with Russia. I’m all ears.
I don't know where to start on this because it does not really address David's article . I could go with, it's impossible to see winning scenario for Ukraine now that 75% of the public and private infrastructure has been destroyed in the Eastern half of the country. How do you get to Winning with those facts. To get Russia out, we would have to go back to the proven means, have Biden and Harris resign, Trump assumes the Presidency and Putin will go back to his castles in fear once Europe picks up the spending slack as they should have from the very beginning.
Trump has never been a hardliner on Russia or its war on Ukraine (which was being fought throughout his presidency). He’s already calling for peace talks and been critical of the Biden Administration’s aid to Ukraine. The two together are tantamount to calling for Ukraine’s surrender.
We have been through this before. Putin's expansionism was muted during Trumps tenure. Just the opposite for Biden and Obama (Democrats). We know those same democrats invented the entire Russia Russia Russia hoax and as pointed out by Tucker Carlson, just last night, The Democrats got what they wanted out of it, war and the profit fallout.
Imagine someone thinking that peace in Ukraine was a bad thing, that is what consuming the American Military complex propaganda will get you.
Putin was letting Trump destroy NATO from within. Trump is correct in stating there wouldn't have been a war if he was POTUS - 'cause he'd just let Putin do what he wanted.
Carlson lies to you: you know he does, and yet you prefer to believe his lies because otherwise you need to reevaluate everything you believe - and that is too much for you to handle.
A win is Russia leaving Ukraine's sovereign borders. Russia's loss is a deterrent for China re: Taiwan. Allow Russia to keep any of Ukraine's territory, and China will be emboldened.
And: why would anyone think Putin stops with Ukraine? He'd move on to Moldova, or attack a NATO country - bringing us into direct conflict. Defeating Russia in Ukraine is the best option available now (since we can't go back to 2014, when the same thing would have been less costly).
Stopping the destruction and loss of life surrounding Ukraine has alway been a worthy goal. Current NATO approach better than appeasement of Putin aggression or American isolationism.
Since the American driven sanctions that were promised to bring an end to the Russian expansionism (remember how Biden and Nato would bring Putin to his knees), Biden's approval has fallen off considerable more than Putin's approval. Go ahead and support the old man and his proxy war, but don't expect this to end soon and expect 100's of thousands more Ukrainians to die.
What does that mean? I do not expect an end to the war any time soon. I don't disagree with thwarting Putin but there will be many lives, much treasure and years spent in stopping his aggression. Unless the rumors about his health are true and, even then, we do not know what we will be facing. We can only hope that the Russian populace, who seem to hate the war, have some influence in national policy.
Both American parties have advanced big government. Democrats to a larger degree. It is not a small jump to Nazi Germany and/or Socialist Russia. You do a disservice to the human violence and destruction brought by those two regimes.
It is a small jump and I do not disservice the violence and destruction of these two regimes. As a matter of fact, decades of American Propaganda will likely make the American version of this Mass Psychosis even more destructive and violent, when and if it happens. The writing is on the wall and if we don't make changes, the history of America will look very similar to those aforementioned regimes. I was so disappointed with the response to the virus from America, we gave up our leadership of the globe through that response.

Putin has nothing to fear from Trump.

Cities can be rebuilt. See: Europe post-WWII.
That is pretty much the Democrats playbook, good for you and your clear understanding of it.

Projecting much?
