Yes taken out of context, but it was absolutely 100% stupid and self inflicted.
Were Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh - geniuses or making genius moves? Somebody could say it but that’s not the first word out of your mouth when an enemy launched a war - and you’re the American president.
I’m totally annoyed Trump made that statement. There isn’t one of us here who wouldn’t have told him not to, if he listened to anyone.
This childish penchant to turn every enemy into a monster and every ally into an angel is immature, ridiculous, and leads to greater warfare.
Ukraine’s refusal to release water they dammed up which provided 90% of Slovenia’s water supply, their active pursuit of NAT0 membership on Russia’s border, and institutional corruption at every level, make Ukraine a not good neighbor.
We know how terrible Putin is. Can we deal with these issues as adults and not children?
