If they even know what’s going on. The younger ones who use the internet do, as we can see from their protests. But last night on CNN, they interviewed a woman in Ukraine who had family in Russia and she said she was the one who gave them the news that Ukraine had been attacked by Russia. She said they were like, “What??! War?? What are you talking about?!?” They had no idea because…state-media.

Nope. Hi, Trumper! Let me guess, anonymous board so you “voted for Biden.” Suuuuuuure you did.

DP

I live in MD, so I can vote my conscience. I wrote in Bernie (again), because the party shafted him (again). Given the hypothetical choice right now between Joe Biden and Trump, I’d now prefer to have Trump. I’m sorry that angers you but that’s how I feel. At this point I’m definitely willing to admit that I felt safer during Trump.

Hey there dummy. Did you notice your orange hero Trump is championing the aggressor that precipitated this thread?

I didn’t insult anyone in my post. I would like you to apologize to me and others here for your incivility, please.

Be better.

🤣🤣🤣 You better do it PP! I think she means business!!

+1 and I am not a Trumper

+1 and not a Trumper either, but people like the PP above NEED to brand people who support MAGA as lunatics so it can justify their own vicious hatefulness. Makes them feel good about themselves.

Nope. MAGA actions speak for themselves.

The actions of those that would prefer American not to be great are pretty clear.

The Trumper idea of what a “great America” looks like is an abject joke. They are willfully ignorant, reactionary, deluded, selfish morons.

Awww you mad? Because Biden is doing WONDERS for us right now, huh? I’ll take some mean tweets any day over this absolute moron we have in office right now.

He can’t possibly be any more moronic than you are. Keep talking, you’re just proving my point. And man, do I love to be right.

We’ve booked it for 21 days… I guess if there’s an attack it won’t matter at that point and we’ll just stay there. There’s not much around it, and it’s miles and miles from anywhere that would seem even remotely important. Closest “city” is Roanoke, and that’s almost 45 miles away. That seems like the best we can do on short notice. We both WFH and are familiar enough with home schooling thanks to the pandemic that I think the kids will be ok for a while. They’re too young to really understand this, so as long as they’ve got stuff to keep them occupied I think they’ll manage ok….. I never believed we’d be in a mess like this a year ago. It’s just inconceivable. I just can’t even fathom it.

Covington is not that far from the DIA facility in Charlottesville.

Your schtick is getting worn out.

I didn’t vote for Trump, but I will also acknowledge we didn’t have 22 page thread about a possible Russian nuclear attack during his presidency, either.

I have a serious case of buyer’s remorse with Joe Biden. I now look at the Trump-era fondly. I feel awkward admitting it, because I hate being wrong. But that’s how I feel.

GMAFB. You are blaming Biden for this?

“I voted for Biden but…” Sure you did. Liar.

NP. Fact remains we didn't have a potential nuclear war looming over us when Trump was president. He took a strong stance against Putin and put sanctions on the pipeline being built between Russia and Europe and warned of Europeans becoming too energy dependent on Russia. He called out NATO for taking advantage of the US, which NATO was doing. There are many, many, many things I disagree with Donald Trump but much of his foreign policy was actually on target. Despite all this, Trump got pilloried in the presses. But had the Germans and other nations not been so short sighted and shut down their nuclear plants in exchange for becoming energy dependent on Russia, had all the NATO countries lived up to their military spending obligations, Putin wouldn't be thinking the West is weak and divided and invading Ukraine. It's not to Joe Biden's credit that he removed the sanctions Trump put on the Russian pipeline. Nor do I think it was wise to have all the US embassies fly BLM and rainbow flags in despotic regions. In case you hadn't noticed, both Russia and China have been increasingly dismissive and aggressive since Biden took office and it's not hard to see why they may be thinking the US is weak.

The goal for each NATO country to reach 2% of their GDP was for 2024. Considering 2024 hasn’t yet happened, you can’t really say they didn’t live up to their obligations. Also, Trump started to dismantle NATO and ruin our relationships with our allies. If one wants to make baseless claims like you are, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to make the excuse that the members who had yet to project the 2% goal weren’t motivated to do so because they were worried about the state of NATO’s future due to Trump’s destructible behavior. He said multiple times he’d like to pull out of NATO. When someone asked him if he would adhere to Article 5, undoubtedly the most important aspect of NATO, if an ally was attacked, he responded, “That’s a good question isn’t it? I don’t know, it’s something I need to consider. The fact that he even answered the question in that manner proves he doesn’t know $hit about foreign policy, or any policy really, at all whatsoever. It would render NATO useless. And for anything to work, aside from signed contracts, treaties, agreements, etc. one also needs to adhere to the honor code. We already know Trump doesn’t give a crap about the rule of law, so acting like he would follow any sort of honor code is a flipping joke. Would you support pulling out of NATO?? Because that’s seemingly what you’re implying.

Further, Putin thinks the West is weak and divided because he helped to make it to at way. You’re living in la-la land if you think this is just an opportunity born out of convenience rather than a deliberate action on Putin’s part. Also, this “weakness” talk everyone keeps spewing is getting tiring. If you think Trump showed any strength, well…HAHAHAHAHA. You may be dumber than he is! He threw a temper tantrum over losing an election and TO THIS DAY, he is still crying about it. In fact, the other day on Fox he told Laura Ingraham that the reason for the Russia-Ukraine crisis is because of “the rigged election”. He refused to go to Biden’s inauguration. Anytime he was criticized it was “fake news”. The press was “constantly out to get him” according to him because he couldn’t handle anything less than groveling and praise, let alone constructive criticism. He fired anyone in his administration who wasn’t “loyal” enough in his eyes. He’s poisoned the Republican Party and continues to do so anytime someone in the party finds a spine and decides rightfully to defend the constitution instead of the orange blob of flubber with a bad hairdo. He does all of this because HE.IS.WEAK. Make no mistake, there’s not a single strength that trump possesses.

We have one in the OBX. Russia’s newest bomb is launched from the sea with the express objective of causing a 1500’ wave. Most of the OBX would be gone. We spent a month there in 2020 and the supply chain issues were far worse than at our home in ROVA. Essentially one road in and out of there so it would be easy to be stranded.

With all due respect. Russia has no new bombs. Their technology is about 1995-2000. Their newer weapons are all old tech. They have no weapon to cause a 1500 foot wave. No one does except in Aquaman.

Russia has highly maneuverable hypersonic nuclear missiles. https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/security/2022/02/russian-navy-launched-hypersonic-tsirkon-missile-norwegian-sector-barents-sea

You think they would remain unscathed dropping missiles? As in, the US wouldn’t react and just let them have a heyday? Please. You act like we don’t have methods to intercept them. We do. It’s unlikely that everything would be intercepted but they’re not just going to be able to obliterate the ENTIRE country nationwide without defense.

What an ignorant perspective. You wouldn’t have a 22 page thread about a possible Russian nuclear attack because eventually if the same situation occurred under a dictator-wannabe like Trump, you wouldn’t have access to the information to even know if there were a risk. He would deny everything and lie to the people about what was going on, just like he did with Covid. He’d trample even more than he already did on our rights and censor any information that would be informative to the public, especially if it could be potential criticism of him. Anything like what’s being discussed here would be censored so we wouldn’t even be allowed to have the conversation. He wanted to repeal Section 230. He just attempted to hide evidence by shredding documents. When a reporter asked him one time what he discussed with Putin he said, “It’s none of your business what he and I talked about.” Everything would be a secret because it would make him look bad and he wouldn’t allow it. So the threat may still be there, you just wouldn’t know about it. Although, I supposed ignorance is bliss for people like you.

When a reporter asked Biden about is people should be concerned about nuclear war his entire answer was "no". Not exactly a lot of information for a big question like that.

Exactly. Someone posts this stuff and people just eat it up because the thrive on conspiracies. For one, this guy says Russia is the most powerful army. Oddly, they seem to run out of gas or break down often. And the comments on that video cover such classic hits as: child trafficking; Hunter Biden; the mafia; and even a fantastic reference to the Knights Templar for those who like to go old school.

So per this Canadian, everyone is getting together because they have been laundering money and doing criminal activities in Ukraine while Putin is just there to put a stop to all that like he's the good cop on the block. Everyone is guilty except Putin.
