I agreed when he called January 6 an insurrection and blamed Trump for it.

The problem is that he's a weasel who also said the impeachment trial is "moot".

Now we have a 14th amendment ballot situation, and SCOTUS is likely to rule that the Senate is the only body with jurisdiction to convict him of insurrection. So I guess it wasn't moot.

What wars did Trump start when he was president? What wars happened when he was president?

Didn't he tell Germany not to build the Nord Stream pipeline because it would make them dependent on Russia? And they laughed at him.

Funny how selective and short terms memories are.

OK what is the word for someone who invites a dictator to invade other countries? Appeaser isn't strong enough.

Damn, when I agree with McConnell...

If you ignore the quotes we’re talking about and the fact that he never cared what kind of wreckage he left in his wake and if you ignore his love of dropping bombs and if you ignore the fact that many nations knew he was bat crap crazy and so cooled it on their stuff for a while and if you ignore the fact that he gave China his blessing for genociding the Uyghurs… yeah.

His words tonight should make us all petrified

This is so laughable. Under Trump there was no new wars and he brought the Abraham accords.

No matter how hard you try Trump has been a president of peace and economic prosperity. Bumbling, stumbling dementia. Joe has brought us closer to World War III than any other president in modern American history. Him and DNC are a bunch of warmongers.

There wasn't war because trump was giving it away in alliance with the bad guys.

He pulled out of the TPP, giving China the South China Sea without a shot fired, all while paying more in taxes to China than to the US.
He pulled out of the JCPOA, allowing Iran to return to rogue-state status.
He literally bowed to the North Korean dictator.
He allowed Russia to take Donbas without a shot fired.

And the Abraham Accords were useless except to Kushnes who made off with 2 billion dollars and to the Saudi's who were given US nuclear secrets.

I guess you want the US to side with the dictators and become and authoritarian country as well. I guess if you are a straight white Christian male, then you can just sidle in with the other dictator adherent. The rest of us would like to continue the American experiment, as imperfect as it is.

"The former president is advocating a return to his “America First” nationalist foreign policy, prizes tough talk and ruthlessness on the global stage, and remains disdainful of allies and the international security architecture that has been the foundation of American power since the end of World War II. While these are positions that would represent a sharp transformation of US foreign policy, it is quite legitimate for him to present them to voters and try to win support for his vision."

Yep, love it or hate it, it's a major shift away from funding and being involved in regional conflicts all over the globe. Possibly unique in our political system where both old school Republicans and moderate Democrats are pro-war.

The opposite of this is not peace, it is letting authoritarians take control of the world assets. That is not a win for the US, or the companies that drive out capitalist society. It isn't a matter of being "pro-war" it is matter of preventing catastrophic war in light of nuclear solutions to angered nations. No one in the US WANTS war. It would be a lot better if bad actors like Putin were put out of power. Short of that, we can either let one country invade another, or we can do what we can to maintain some sort of order. Why is Russia at war in Ukraine? Who knows, but Ukraine is a soverign country that has been invaded. We either let Russia invade and take them over, or we support Ukraine. Why should Russia be allowed to just take another country?

Why is it the USA's job?

It is the world's job, which is why the US are in DEFENSIVE alliances like NATO. If not the US, then who? And what are the ramifications if the US sits it out? Either Russia just steamrolls through Europe or the US joins Russia, which is what Trump wants, and subjugate humans as chattel for the wealthy and corrupt.

Let's put it this way. If the US doesn't do it, why do you assume your life would be the same "after" as compared to now?

+1 this is true. Democrats really need to examine their policies, positions, and priorities.

DT wants nothing to do with sending out money and military overseas.

Green lighting Russian attacks on NATO countries. Just disgusting.

I'm sure he'll deny it tomorrow and then hint that maybe he's not kidding the day after.

I hate trump but he isn’t a war monger - he is pretty much a separatist.

Shows how much Trump loves Putin and authorian dictatorships.

With power comes responsibility. As the number one superpower the United States has an obligation to help countries invaded by war mongers.

Read a history book. We like being the Western superpower. NATO is our alliance. We created it. We don’t want Germany to be a military power. We wanted bases in Europe. It worked as a deterrent. The purpose is to NOT have wars in Europe.
