OK. Well, President Biden is our man. I stand by him.


Imagine being in the Ukraine and hearing that.


Imagine being in Ukraine and hearing that Putin is a genius and what he's doing is smart. Imagine being in Ukraine and your children got killed by a Russian bomb, and hearing that Putin is a genius amd what he did is smart. Imagine being in Ukraine, and your children got killed by a Russian bomb, and someone in the U.S. is using that to score political points against Democrats.


Imagine bing in Mexico and hearing perhaps the future US president wants to do the same to Mexico!


I think the point was: imagine being in the Ukraine and hearing that NATO countries will wait a month or so to see if "things work out" and then maybe reconsider stricter sanctions. Not sure what was confusing about that.


What’s so confusing that Trump thinks that Putin is a genius and we should do the same to our southern border, which is Mexico.

What would you them do differently? It's either sacrifice a country or start a global war. This is a terrible, terrible choice either way and yeah, it sucks for Ukraine. I think this is as much as we can expect at this point.

No. Just no. Look at history, and apply it to what would happen if we took in a bunch of Ukrainians.

In 1959 the people of Cuba overthrew the fascist Batista regime. Tens of thousands of Cuban elites and capitalist kleptocrats fled Cuba, most going to south Florida. Their descendants are STILL voting republican today. They are responsible for Florida still being a red state. They grew up their whole lives being brainwashed about how JFK and Democrats let Castro take over the country and caused their parents of grandparents to flee for their lives. And they’re still holding a grudge and keeping republicans in power over that.

Now extrapolate that to potentially millions of Ukrainian refugees coming here. They would settle here, have children, and brainwash them about how President Biden and Democrats let Russians take their country from them. Those kids would end up just like the successive generations of Cubans who are hard-core GOP’rs. And there would be far more of them, and they would be highly politically motivated to continue to punish Dems in America. This will affect the Democrats for generations if we take in a bunch of Ukrainians who wouldn’t fight for their own country when Russia attacked them.

We cannot admit Ukrainian refugees. It would be an unmitigated political disaster within 20 years.


Oh are we running political tests on refugees now? Despicable.

- Democrat


What? Are you living in a fantasy? Of course we are. Do you think it's for nothing that refugee candidates are being asked about their past membership in political parties and current social media handles? Yes we are running political tests, Polly.


There's a difference between "are you a communist or a Nazi" and "what American political party do we think they'll join?"

"If artillery hits the facilities, “radioactive nuclear dust can be spread over the territory of Ukraine, Belarus” and European Union countries," the Ukrainian Interior Minister warned.

Why does Russia even what Chernobyl? Only thing I have seen is that is on the shortest route from Russia/Belarus to Kyiv.

The US does not unilaterally control SWIFT, dumb dumb. It's a consortium.

Never said they did control SWIFT, dumb dumb. It's his job to pressure and convince them.

Nope. The US can fine any bank with US operations doing business with a Russian bank though
