Trump isn't the President.

Ahh, I now understand why he used the mysterious word "was" which I was having a hard time understanding the meaning of until your post clarified that for me.
 
Putin is a great number of adjectives, but dumb is not one (in an intellectual way). He knows that there’s 0% chance he can win any war with Ukraine and NATO - 0%. They don’t have the technology, they don’t have the manpower, they simply have bluster.

My guess is they continue to simply use the position as a bargaining chip which Putin solely controls as no one can tell him otherwise.

Well if they were a Democracy they should be killed by fire immediately because that is the absolute worst form of government that has ever existed.

I only root for Constitutional Republics!!! All other looser government types kick rocks.

You should create a separate thread so you can prove to all these indoctrinated Americans that we are a republic, not a democracy.

President Wilson was wrong, we went to war to “make the world safe for democracy (should have said republics)!”

FDR was wrong too when he said, “In our Democracy (should have said republic), officers of the government are the servants and never the masters of the people.”

Or George W Bush speaking together with Tony Blair, “The notion of democracies (should have said republics) beginning to emerge scares the ideologies.”

Or “liberal” Donald Trump:

“She (Hillary Clinton) put her emails on a secret server to cover up her pay for play scandals in the state department. Nothing threatens the integrity of our democracy (should have said republic) more than when government officials put their public office up for sale.”

Thank god we have true Americans like you who can straighten out this mystery. This Russia thing has been stressing me out. But not nearly as much as people calling America a democracy. That’s the real threat facing the western world today.

I would caution you, kind sir, that you have made an egregious error assuming the U.S. is only a Republic. We are a mighty Constitutional Republic. A simple Republic is hardly better than a lowly direct Democracy. Both are subject to the whims of mere men. Our Constitution was crafted by American GODS! There was Devine influence on the creation of our sacred national documents, most specifically the Constitution! The constitution is inviolable (unless enough people agree...). The constitution was not formed by mere men, well, it was actually, but they were really awesome dudes. The constitution guarantees that the rights of all people will be respected (depending on skin color, gender, sexual orientation, of course).

Without such a constitution you might find people just deciding that other people could be kept as slaves. Without such a constitution you might find people being forced into military service against their will. Without such a constitution you might find the rights of people to live and work and pursue happiness infringed upon based on such arbitrary factors such as sex, sexual identity, sexual orientation, skin color, ethnicity, or other such arbitrary differentiations between people.

We are ONLY great because our constitution is great. It and it alone, without the cooperation of men, without their consent or mere force of will, makes freedom, liberty and justice possible. There is no way that people without a Constitutional Republic could form a just government, and there is no way that under a Constitutional Republic that a government could be unjust.

European responses are beginning. This is a pretty big deal. Cutting Nord Stream 2 is going to hurt Russia’s economy.

February 22, 2022 Ukraine-Russia crisis news

Tensions between Moscow and Kyiv are at their highest in years, with Russian President Vladimir Putin signing decrees recognizing two separatist pro-Moscow regions in Ukraine as independent, a provocative move as fears of an invasion mount. Follow here for the latest news updates.

That’s the stuff. Send Russia back to the Stone Age economically. Force the Russian oligarchs to choose between seeing their assets frozen and travel visas blocked or talking Putin off this ledge. I guess they could always do plan C, serving Putin some special tea to end this… I’d also be fine with that.

 

As tragic events unfold in Ukraine, take a moment to consider that the foreign policy goals of defeated former president Donald Trump and his MAGA movement bear a striking resemblance to those of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

What does Putin want? His aims go well beyond Ukraine. As the Atlantic’s Anne Applebaum summarizes: He “wants to put so much strain on Western and democratic institutions, especially the European Union and NATO, that they break up. He wants to keep dictators in power wherever he can, in Syria, Venezuela, and Iran. He wants to undermine America, to shrink American influence, to remove the power of the democracy rhetoric that so many people in his part of the world still associate with America. He wants America itself to fail.”

Trump’s foreign policy sought to do much of what Putin wants to achieve, including intimidating Ukraine by withholding vital defensive weapons. Trump, like his role model in Moscow, favored weakening NATO, elevating dictators (from China to Turkey to North Korea to Hungary to Russia), undermining democratic elections, demonizing the media (the best check against power-hungry politicians) and finding common ground with kleptocratic-style government.

None of this was based on America’s interest, but it was in the interest of wannabe authoritarians and illiberal regimes. As Fiona Hill, a former Trump adviser and brave witness in the former president’s first impeachment hearings, put it: "There’s no Team America for Trump. Not once did I see him do anything to put America first. Not once. Not for a single second.”…..

……It seems that contempt for democracy domestically often goes hand in hand with contempt for democratic allies abroad — and hence, sympathy for authoritarian regimes. By contrast, defenders of American democracy are generally on the side of other democratic countries. It’s one more reason we dare not let the MAGA-infused GOP back in power.
