There is considerable carnage going on right now in Ukraine, that much is true, the mere scale of it is mindboggling and distressing.
Q: Do you support the Russian invasion ordered by Pres. Vladimir Putin of these areas of Ukraine, i.e outside Donbass and Crimea already taken? Or if not supporting, do you condemn it? (for your reference, I strongly condemn it). ??
Given your Trump-hating history, you’re one to talk. ;-)
[You have a most interesting posting history on this topic. And the choice of your screen name. You are welcome to read about me. I have been on here since about 1998, so that is a long time. At any rate, may I ask you a question?

Re your views on Biden’s predecessor, if you believed media depictions of Trump, you’d have to be morally bent to not despise or outright hate him. The reality, however, is more complex in some ways, and the complete opposite of reality in others.
In foreign policy, as in other realms, the average person’s view of Trump’s positions comes from distorted media sound bites. In public, Trump was pretty pleasant to the leaders of America’s enemies. But that’s in public. In private, he kicked them bloody. Trump tightened the leash so hard on Kim, famines ensued. He was seizing ships at periodic intervals. Biden loosened those sanctions by ending that program. And lo - flush with cash, Kim started testing new missiles again.
Trump ramped up sanctions on Russia. He exited worthless missile and Open Skies treaties that Putin did not live up to, that Biden wants to revive. He struck Russian ground troops for the first time in a century*, killing 200 of them, something even Trump-hating Newsweek acknowledges.

Trump’s relationship with the leaders of America’s enemies is a lot like domestic abuse - pleasant in public appearances together and serious beatdowns in private. That is why Kim and Putin respected Trump - his pimp hand kept them docile.
* The last time a president ordered US troops into action against Russian grunts was just after the Bolshevik Revolution. Woodrow Wilson sent the Polar Bears to help the Whites against the Reds.
Rigged elections have consequences. Without rigged elections i don’t think we’d have either Biden,Putin or Zalenski. I condemn all 3 of them. There are No good guys are in this conflict.I could support any land partition that they (P/Z) agree upon that ends the bloodshed asap.Z should have ended this when the deal was No NATO,indy Donbass and acknowledge Crimea...

I do think that US/nato has been too aggressive with membership and generally agree with Pat Buchanon’s view of this.Risking WW3 seems unwise to me.
.
I also think that risk to the US constitution and our freedom of speech is far more dependent on globalists’ expansion of power than russian expansion so , so maybe that contributes to the clarity of some of my posts....
to be clear - Not our monkeys, Not our circus.
