So in your dictionary, opposing Biden’s Ukraine policy makes somebody a troll?

What othe Biden policies are we not allowed to oppose, according to you?

If Ukraine beats Russia, I’m ok with that. I just don’t want my tax money going over there. But Biden insists on sending my money and my family’s taxes to Ukraine. And you apparently support Biden on this, because you denounce me as a troll for opposing him.

This wouldnt be the case if DJT were still in office.

His election was stolen and everyone knows it.

Rudy and Sydney Powell exposed the scheme.

Rather than send arms, we should be helping put a stop to the war.

President Trump would have negotiated a deal.

The MIC and their Democrat operatives would have opposed him every step of the way, and the masses with their daily injection of anti Trump propaganda would have sided with them.

Trump was increasing our war capabilities against Russia Europe and moving troops closer to them.

Trump wants Ukraine to receive jets.

Trump says the US should broker a peace. He even offered to lead the negotiations. Biden and Zelensky turned him down.

Yes, before the midterm elections, Donald Trump, candidate against Joe Biden for 2024 suggested that Biden let him negotiate, it didn’t happen.

Trump also supports jets for Ukraine, sending nuclear subs over to threaten Putin into shutting up with the “constant” nuclear war threats, and Trump was building up our nuclear forces against Russia and reactivated V Corps and moved it closer to Russia, to Poland, and advised our NATO allies to disengage themselves from Russia and increase their militaries.

Trump also sent weapons and money to Ukraine, and calls Russia’s invasion a “holocaust” and “genocide”.

Still waiting for you to educate me about Reagan. What happened? I’m always willing to admit when I am wrong. So when are you going to provide me with things about Reagan I do not know, according to you?

That is a very big no-no, do not drag conversations to other threads, and do not stalk freepers.

Now I’m stalking you am I. No, I offered to allow you to teach me what I don’t know about Reagan, since you claimed I know nothing about Reagan either. I was letting you know that I am still waiting for my lesson. I guess you really have nothing to teach me after all. That’s all you had to say.

“What’s important is democrats ability to embezzle billions”

Don’t minimize Republicans ability to embezzle, and do it well.

Obviously stalking, when you drag an old dead thread into a different thread out of the blue, that is nuts.

MARCH 22, 2022: Trump Explains What He Would Do to End Putin's War in Ukraine

Trump wants Ukraine to receive jets.

Varney pressed Trump on "what extra military help you would give to the Ukrainians. You say you want to do more than just the MiG jets or the Javelins."

"Well, I think the drones are just as effective as anything nowadays," Trump said.

Drones are not jets

March 9, 2022: Why the US rejected Poland’s plan to send fighter jets to Ukraine

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told the Polish minister of defense that the US does not support the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to the Ukrainian air force “at this time,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said, either by Poland transferring them to Ukraine with the US backfilling Poland’s fleet or by Poland transferring the MiG-29s to the US to then give to Ukraine.

Austin “stressed that we do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian air force at this time, and therefore have no desire to see them in our custody either,” Kirby said.

His comments come a day after the US rejected a proposal from Poland to send Soviet-era fighter jets to Ukraine by way of a US-NATO air base in Germany.

Perhaps you're confusing President Duda with President Trump?

Trump was increasing our war capabilities against Russia Europe and moving troops closer to them.

He was also calling for the other NATO nations to spend more for their defense, which served as a deterrent. Why did they have to wait until an attack on Ukraine to see he was right?

If we had followed that policy instead of electing (I know) Biden, he might have been able to negotiate an agreement.

As for his policies, I did a search. To no surprise, all attacked him, but for all kinds of different reasons that in many cases contradicted each other. The only thing that was consistent was their hostility towards Trump.

Trump wants Ukraine to receive jets.

I would agree the attack on Ukraine was wrong, but I don't know who to believe on what, so I can't say if that would be the wrong or right move.
