Because you are parroting the words of a traitor. Biden and the West are putting Putin where he belongs. Question is if he'll bring Trump down with him. |
Exactly. |
Yes republicans and Russia call him weak. The evacuation of Afghanistan was success carried out by the US military. I do not understand people like you hoping and praying for US failure. MAGA/republicans = hate of US. I wonder when this hate translate to actual taking action against the US? |
Please explain to me how it should have gone differently. Diplomacy is a back and forth. A sovereign nation must be able to defend itself and Ukraine is not a NATO member. Russia taking on Ukraine is 1:1 because of that. If NATO countries directly got involved OR proceed to the strictest sanctions from the get it would be like using all of our missiles- but that doesnt mean the invaders stop AND it would be an escalation. Russia is not attacking any EU country nor the US- directly anyways. Its a threat absolutely but response to a threat must be measured or you can end up provoking a bully to act (initially or further) because youve embarrassed them or in essence, put gasoline on a smoldering fire. Other countries needed to see whether Ukraine was actually willing to protect itself or it would turn into another Afghanistan- where another country is doing the fighting on behalf of another. The citizens of a country need to WANT to defend their sovereignty beyond stating it, it needs to be actionable. |
We need to ship drones to Ukraine. |
They've got a lot of Turkish ones that are devastating the Russian army. |
Afghanistan’s fall had nothing to do with weakness on Biden’s part. It happened because Bush 43 screwed up the formation of a government. Had Afghanistan’s popular and unassuming former King Zahir Shah been reinstalled with presidential powers, with the warlords co-opted as senators and a democratically elected House of Representatives along with democratically elected local officials Afghanistan might have worked. Instead, we gave the former king the stupid title “Father of the Nation,” reinstalled him in the palace but gave him no powers. Instead, we attempted to build an American democracy for which Afghanistan was not ready and led to leadership by corrupt Presidents chosen by fraudulent elections. The Afghan people had no confidence in their corrupt government which allowed the Taliban to infiltrate. |
Biden managed to unite the EU, strengthen NATO and bring Switzerland out of neutrality. All without saber rattling towards Russia. He handled it flawlessly. |
Because Biden hid in the basement and the press gave him a pass. Trump lost to the phantom Biden of days long past and the press sung his praises forever. If the current doddering Biden who can't even get through an entire sentence without taking a nap had ever been on the campaign trail, it would have been lights out. |
The current Biden who has flawlessly navigated the most complicated and delicate foreign policy crisis since WW2? The guy who has united the world, reinvigorated our alliances, and humiliated Putin? The guy who has made America great again? |
LOL, the desperation. We all have eyes and ears, PP, this is not going to work. |
They should have listened to Biden 12 years ago on foreign policy.
His administration has done a great job. Maybe we wouldn’t be here if he had taken the lead back then. |
Biden is a war hawk that has gotten it consistently wrong, BUT the good news is that it appears Mr. Blinken has learned from his mistakes. So far the US has played it very elegantly. |
Jesus. You have the mental abilities of a young child. |
Completely agree. Glad I voted for him. |
