[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US importing oil from authoritarian regimes is bad. Can that be acknowledged?

Biden issued an executive order his first week in office that is making that happen. Domestic oil production is crippled.

As a pp stated, when Trump was president gas was reasonably priced, and Putin didn’t invade Ukraine. Somehow Biden is allowing the invasion to to happen, and inflation is at a 40 year high, and people are blaming Trump. Trump isn’t president. Biden is. It’s Biden’s responsibility to deal with current issues. Every president takes the reins and provides leadership, there’s no magic spell to erase history and provide him with a bank slate from which to govern.

The theme seems to be that Trump is still more powerful than Biden is, and Biden is the president. [/quote]

Trump weakened NATO. 
So sick of hearing republicans whine about Biden not cleaning up Trump’s mess fast enough.[/quote]

Actually that’s false.  Here are the facts:
Trump warned Europe in 2018 their reliance on Russian energy is an inherent security risk - Germans laughed 
He told them we needed to work together to be more energy independent 
He imposed sanctions in 2019 on Russia.

Under Biden:
Sanctions lifted
Putin emboldened and invades Ukraine for the second time under and Obama/Biden regime.

NATO was obligated to the 2% GDP

[quote] In 2006, NATO Defence Ministers agreed to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defence spending to continue to ensure the Alliance's military readiness.[/quote]

The US was the one of the few who was doing so or surpassed the requirement.

NATO was weakened by the Allie’s not contributing their fair share.  I know liberals love that fair share stuff so look at it like that

The bull of NATO force was US or US based.  Unacceptable.  Trump urged members to contribute more including Germany who is powerful and able to do so. 
They refused.

Putin, seeing a weak US administration and a weak NATO made the move after Trump’s departure and after Biden’s removal of tough Trump sanctions.

All of these are facts.  What isn’t a fact is Trump weakened anyone.  He didn’t.  He saw the writing on the wall and called it.

That’s why under Trump there was no war and was no inflation.

I’m beer Biden and Obama we have Russian invasions into Ukraine twice and now we’re in the verge of hyperinflation as gas prices climb.

Secretary of State Clinton was warning Germany not to rely on Russia well before Trump. [/quote]
