If we had a real man for president we should have gone to Defcon 1 awhile ago. When you get in the face of bullies they back off and could have prevented this war...maybe. And no, I haven’t forgot about the border.
“When you get in the face of bullies...”
It depends on the bully. In this instance with Russia, the US can’t win a direct war as Putin will kill millions to prove a point. Biden, with his failures in Afghanistan, his screwing up the economy, and his setting up Putin for control with Joe’s idiotic attack on fossil fuels thus turning his own people against him along with his “pass the buck” attitude has displayed a clearly observable weakness to the world that both Russia and China have picked up on.
The cold war was a standoff. It consisted of nothing more than posturing and hard looks because the US and all the major powers knew they couldn’t do anything but lose. But the world wasn’t ready to try to appease a Putin whose only desire is to correct the destruction of his country in the early 1990’s by a process of internal political, economic, and ethnic disintegration brought on by outside sources. Make no mistake, before its dissolution, the USSR had maintained its status as a superpower, alongside the United States, for four decades after World War II. And Putin knows how it was taken and wants it back.
We are committing suicide with China catering to their needs and showing obvious weakness in our faces with the profound amount of “cowing down” to them. And they have only threatened to do something just like Russia in Taiwan. They will attack over the next six months at the latest in my mind. And no one, especially Biden, will do anything about it but look the tough they know he isn’t. Failure doesn’t start to cover his administration as it hasn’t alluded to the pain he starting to provide to humanity through his cowardice and inept actions that will take decades to repair. And possibly millions of lives.

2. You’re either stupid or insane.
Did you forget that part where Donald Trump kept us OUT of new wars, and that with little Turd World countries that couldn’t hope to touch us here at home, let alone incinerate every city of more than 50,000 people in 1/2 hour?
Try engaging your brain before posting.
“If we had a real man for president we should have gone to Defcon 1 awhile ago. “
An assertion that exposes your ignorance of the Defcon system.
You should not suggest things you have NO clue about. DEF-CON 1 is total war. It's not a warning or heightened preparedness. The bombs are dropping; the missiles are launched; our boys/girls are en route in large numbers.
Trump would not have declare DEF-CON 1 because he knew Russia and probably China would have declared the same. The possibility of nuke escalation would be on the table resulting in nuclear armageddon. Do some research.
