Indeed. One of the reasons even Putin’s international supporters didn’t think he’d do this is because it’s a very bad idea for Russia. It’ll be costly, and it’ll isolate the country further, making it harder to recoup the costs, at a time when the country’s economy is already fragile. It’s madness.
Harvard Center for American Political Studies–Harris Poll released Friday: 62 percent of voters Say Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump were President, including 38% of Democrats. More than half of Americans believe Putin is taking advantage of President Joe Biden’s weakness.
Gee gopher that was a very nice article you linked and in fact referenced President Trumps $400 million military aid package to Ukraine in addition to the Javelins. Don’t see anything about extortion. He did ask for a favor, something about looking into how Russia funneled $millions through a corrupt Ukraine corporation (owned by Russia) into the Biden family accounts via Hunter. The “big guy” got the lions share of course. No quid pro quo though which ‘may’ have been construed as extortion as Ukraine got the Javelins up front and I don’t recall hearing anything back from them. Then again any response may have classified. But there’s probably nothing illegal giving the sex addicted, crack head son of a Vice President and potential future president millions of dollars. I’m sure Mueller would have found something if anything like that had happened with President Trump’s family. I encourage everyone to take a peek at gopher’s link above. I just saw on FOX where Biden has authorized another $350 Million in military aid to Ukraine. Way to go Joe. Now, if only he would stop the $55 million per day we’re paying Putin for oil.

Kudos to Chip Bok for not lauding Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

If the people in the Ukraine and Russia are tired of it then, do something about it! After all, Italy set the precedent near the end of World War Two.

That’s sad — or worse — for the Russian in the street. Too bad we can’t do the same to Vlad himself.

Not to worry Bok.
When Your Messiah is elected again, he will remove all the sanctions and pull the U.S. out of NATO and the UN.
And you and the rest of the Republican Party of Trump will hold a parade for your idol Putin.

Russians are encircling Kyiv and Pretendsident Poopypants is on the move — to his comfy bed in Delaware for the weekend. Sleep tight, Poopypants.
