please, it’s one chess master, commenting on the move of another master, against a guy that’s playing checkers...

Jimmy Carter is enjoying his afternoon, and a Georgia Sweet Tea! It must really suck to be a “Stupid Old Biden”!

It’s just a reprint of a Business Insider article.

For those who do their own thinking, it's clear as a bell what Trump was saying and it's not "rallying to Putin's side". Start at 3:56, listen through 5:04.

I think that Trump’s own words suffice for what he meant to say. I’d say that an idiot could outfox Biden. What exactly did Trump say?

He said Putin’s move was “smart” and “savvy” which it appears to be ( I assume you don’t disagree since you didn’t offer anything); he also said “this is genius” which is, in my estimation, way over the top, and he said that Putin is “playing Biden like a drum, and it’s not pretty to see.” He is, and it isn’t. I don’t think it took genius to pull this off. Other than that, I can’t see anything that Trump said that is wrong. Evidently, you can’t either.

The remarks by DJT were taken out of context

A quote from a well known Boxer, “Rope a Dope”!
It worked again here.

Perhaps we as Americans should know that we have all those bioweapons labs in Ukraine. I might have said that by Ukraine allowing such a thing, it invited a response from Putin.

Such a shame

Putin is halfway through a 3-d chess game while Biden’s trying to find his checkerboard.

That is too complimentary to the *resident. Brandon is still looking for his shuffle board.

“Here is a simple exercise to understand what Trump said (that Putin made a “smart” move).
Putin’s move into Ukraine was dumb because ___________. Fill in the blank.”

Because Putin is walking into another Afghanistan? Just sayin’.

But he’s smarter than Xiden by far. I said it. So sue me.

The doorknob on my pantry is smarter than Xiden.

They’re not lionizing Putin. They just see him as a better looking pooch in an ugly dog contest.

That is possible. Then again, neither we nor the Russians had a large population of friendlies who spoke our language and shared our culture in Afghanistan. The Russians have that in Eastern Ukraine. I’m just wondering if Mexico will move against some of our border territory. Then again, they pretty much already have it colonized, so it’s not really worth the risk. Also, we have an iron-fisted totalitarian dictator to our immediate north, though he doesn’t appear to have any territorial ambitions at the moment.

No one is rallying to Putin’s side. They are admitting we have no strategic interests at stake.

If europe wants to do something about them, let them spill their blood.

Actually he was referring to the crafty means and gamble of Putin, “I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions.* I’d say that’s pretty smart,” while contending that if he were still president then Mr. Putin would not have invaded, and that Biden had not done enough to dissuade this, and referred to the unfolding events as a “very sad thing for the world and the country.” (WSJ)
*though on April 15, 2021 the U.S. Department of the Treasury instituted multiple sanctions actions against Russia under a new Executive Order, yet that Spring imports of Russian oil to the United States reached their highest level in a decade, and Russia became the second-largest exporter of oil to the US that year.

It sounds like the yahoos are hitting the happy smoke again.
