People are probably going to lose their minds for me saying this, but I believe Trump did admire Putin. He admired how Putin ruled single-handedly, he admired how Putin is loved by his countrymen. For a narcissist like Trump, that is the most potent drug you can give yourself. That's not to say that Trump was in Putin's pocket - just that he didn't exactly stand up to him like you already mentioned.

I think you are both going further than is justified.

Trump also approved the carpet bombing of a bunch of Russian mercs with B52s in Syria, as well as breaking it off in their ass in Nord Stream 2 and energy policy in general.

I can admire Putin’s talents, his shrewdness, and appreciate that he is unabashedly in favor of his country over others, and still comprehend that he’s a tyrannical, murdering asshole who would benefit from a dirt nap.

Trump saw Putin as a dangerous and talented adversary that he preferred to interact with in a cooperative way where possible, and in a confrontational way where it was necessary. This is probably as close to the most correct method of dealing with him as has been tried yet.

Im not sure if anyone can answer but....

The sister of the kids we adopted from Ukraine is still there in Mykolaiv.  She is 20 with a son who is 2.  She has resisted any attempts to leave the country because her husband cannot leave.  She had a video chat with my daughter this morning saying she wants to get out because the Russian soldiers are everywhere and the shooting and shelling is worse now than at any time since the invasion began.  

My wife, through the adoption connections we have made in Ukraine has been in contact with organizations that are trying to get people out of areas like Mykolaiv.  

We want to send her money.  We used to through Western Union a couple of years ago but stopped.  We have her bank card info.  Its a government issued card so i believe the funds would go straight to her.

I heard that Wise.com is a good way to send money but i am wondering if she would get it and even if she did, would she be able to use it.  

I fear that she waited to long but we want to do everything we can to help her and her son

You might be right, but with the US exporting energy under Trump, and no Afghanistan debacle, Putin would have had a lot more to think about.

Trump would have been way more competent in the lead up also,  doing things to make it difficult for Putin to invade.

Let's face it Biden isn't just an empty suit. He isn't there at all.

Threatening nukes is all Putin has to prevent this, since a lot of countries probably view this as a great opportunity to end the Russian threat on someone else's soil.  Poland is probably jumping at the chance but probably being restrained by Biden and Nato.

That's not even close to true. Why are states run by the right prospering while states and especially cities run by the left falling apart?

There's plenty to criticize on the right,  but it's like night and day. The left are releasing criminals to prey on society. That doesn't come from a place of intelligence or morality.  Neither does killing millions with abortion. The same goes for pushing sex changes in children. The same goes for lying about climate change. The same goes for racial discrimination in hiring.  The same goes for telling white children the are bad because of those skin. The same goes for pushing socialism.

Or maybe Trump actually followed the whole "speak softly and carry a big stick" approach.

From the outside that can easily look like "being soft".  He's also a businessman, and one sure way to scuttle any deal is to publicly embarrass the other side.

I have no real evidence of any of that besides the unprecedented peace deals and lull in war activity during his term... so I have to assume he was doing something right

Yep.  I didn't say it was the smart move.  

Zelenzkyy seems to not have the ego almost all other modern leaders have.  That means his priorities aren't about how much money he can make from this, or how much he can use this against his political enemies at home. He wants to save lives, and I'm afraid he may let russia win, so long as putin leaves.  Of course, UKR will be under the thumb of putin forever afterwards.  

I think it's up to the world to call putin's nuclear bluff right now and expose the bully for what he is.  Otherwise, the WORLD will be dealing with this again in years.

Sometimes you gotta show the stick

I'm not saying he as 100% "speak softly" but when you go into negotiations you don't want to humiliate the other side before or after.  You pump them up with sweet nothings, and they're more likely to listen and agree to a piss poor deal for them.

I recall an interview with an American businessman who returned to his homeland in the Balkans ti be president and fir the first time in his working life encountered people who didn’t want money. He was completely unprepared.

It doesn’t matter,he’s not President now.  Biden being a weak potato is more important. However, I think the Republican Party needs to get a handle on the wackiest of the right before it costs them in the rapidly approaching midterms.  What is rather disgusting is seeing how many supposed freedom loving conservatives have sided with Putin and have expressed their desire that Russia has a right to subjugate every nation to the English Channel.

The right doesn’t have enough power to really duck up the mid terms. We are headed for $7 gasoline and that is enough to cause a recession on its own. At this point I expect a 40-50 seat swing against Dems. Support by elected republicans for Putin is almost nonexistent. It’s a thing in right wing media but those people will probably soften when their payments can’t come through anymore.


Zelensky told Trump he was draining the swamp in Ukraine,still think that if funny.


What a lot of people here don’t realize is that the elite of the Ukrainian swamp is mostly Russian affiliated and Zelensky was hard on them. Now theor lives are literally in danger.

Brak'n news!  Gerald Celente of the Trends Journal interviews an American resident of Donestk

Special Report From the Front Line in Ukraine


According to the interview subject, the Ukrainian Army was unhappy that the Azoz battalion would not coordinate with it for the defense of Donestk.  A Ukrainian general was sent there to straighten things out.  He was murdered by the Azoz.  So, the Ukrainian Army retaliated by firing a missile into the center of the Azoz camp in Mariupol.  I can't find confirmation of it.

Near the end the other interesting thing he says is that the bioweapon labs that have been collecting Slavic DNA have been destroyed.

My wife, through the adoption connections we have made in Ukraine has been in contact with organizations that are trying to get people out of areas like Mykolaiv.  

We want to send her money.  We used to through Western Union a couple of years ago but stopped.  We have her bank card info.  Its a government issued card so i believe the funds would go straight to her.

I heard that Wise.com is a good way to send money but i am wondering if she would get it and even if she did, would she be able to use it.  

I fear that she waited to long but we want to do everything we can to help her and her son

@sydney7629

Have her set up an account on a crypto exchange

You can send crypto directly to her, and she can sell it or exchange it for other stuff. Cash is hard to come by

My 64yo aunt figured it out in less than 2 hours

Easiest/ fastest and most secure way to send money

I'll PM you some details, and my contact info if you need help

Let's face it Biden isn't just an empty suit. He isn't there at all.

No way Putin invades with Trump in the WH. He waits until his term is over. 100%.
Trump, had he won, the USA would be exporting oil, NOT importing from russia. We would still be in Afghanistan since the taliban were shitting all over the original agreement. China would be fucked with more sanctions and too afraid to team up with Russia.

By 2020, Trump had an OK team to work with. And Putin would never risk Trump's unpredictable response to the invasion.  

At the start of the Russian build-up at the border, Trump would have sent in more shit to Ukraine, like Patriots and anti-ship missiles, etc even repainted Polish MIG's and other heavy equipment that it would have made Lend-Lease in WWII look like a picnic.

I am no farmer but isn't the season's wheat crop already planted (I thought that was done in the Fall prior) in Ukraine?

I can see that there is no end of complicating factors due to the invasion of Ukraine, but what are the usual tasks that wheat requires from planting to harvest?

Is fertilizer applied once/several times?  How is weeding accomplished (if applicable)?  

If Russia withdraws is a sizable wheat harvest in Ukraine still possible?

According to the interview subject, the Ukrainian Army was unhappy that the Azoz battalion would not coordinate with it for the defense of Donestk.  A Ukrainian general was sent there to straighten things out.  He was murdered by the Azoz.  So, the Ukrainian Army retaliated by firing a missile into the center of the Azoz camp in Mariupol.  I can't find confirmation of it.

When you're called a hard core leftist by rolling stone what does that make you?

I just used Wise about a week ago to send money to my Ukrainian bank account, and the money was sent back to my bank in America. I was having trouble getting money out of banks with my American debit card last week. Luckily I only sent a little bit as a test because I was more worried about us being occupied by the time the money got here.

If they land at a civilian airport the airport should refuse to service the plane.

Near the end the other interesting thing he says is that the bioweapon labs that have been collecting Slavic DNA have been destroyed.
