Russia is emboldened???????
The Trump is strong in you
As the US sends more weapons to Ukraine, remember that Trump illegally withheld Javelin missiles from Ukraine and every Republican in Congress except Mitt Romney gave him a pass for it.

The aid we are spending on Ukraine is a pittance compared with what we would have to spend if Russia succeeded in Ukraine and further threatened the freedom of the West and the peace of the world.


Trump’s presidency saw the debt surpass 100% of the economy, even though he came into office with a healthy economy, declining interest rates, and relative peace after 15 years of global military conflict.

Trump left the White House with the largest peacetime budget deficit in American history and a national debt exceeding 100% of the economy for the first time since World War II.

It wasn't just Covid

Russia felt emboldened enough to invade. Interesting that they waited until Pudding Brain was in office, top feel sufficiently emboldened to do do. I wonder why they didn't do it when Putins lap dog was POTUS? Presumably Trump wouldn't have been as hard on Russia, so why didnt they do it then?

Just think what would have happened if on his re-election Putin’s lap dog had withdrawn from NATO.

Wonder what they discussed in Helsinki?

This isn’t rocket science Jim. Insiders were saying Trump wanted to pull out of NATO in his second term. Why stir the pot when you’re getting what you want?
