Yep; just as Reagan was, 30 years prior. But, typically, the Euros didn’t listen.
Yep, and if they don’t drive Russia out of Ukraine and Crimea, Russia will have increasing leverage over Europe.
That’s why it’s absolutely critical they drive Russia out. THey need Ukraine oil and gas competing against Russia.
Wonder if the German officials at the UN are still laughing about what Trump said.
Not only didn’t listen but laughed at and ridiculed him - and our own press and pundits and Democrats did the same - relentlessly.
Germany is a WOKE disaster area.
And, a powder keg, with the fuse waiting to be lit.
Imagine that, Trump was right. AGAIN!
“Imagine that, Trump was right. AGAIN!”
Go figure right..AGAIN!!!!
“Yep, and if they don’t drive Russia out of Ukraine and Crimea.......”

Who is going to do that? Who is “they”? At what point is Ukraine going to demand U.S. boots on the ground? I’ve heard the rumbling already of demands for U.S. troops being sent to fight in Ukraine. When did that country become a part of NATO? Are we going to send our military into another long war with no specific goal, and regulations that limit them as to engagement with the “enemy”? Who will be designated as the enemy? Russian military troops or Ukrainians who are on the Russians side in the conflict?
Are we going to once again send young men from our country to die on behalf of the military complex leaders whose rules of engagement make it impossible to actually win and with no end date for the “conflict”?
I think Biden has stirred up a hornet’s next and the U.S. is going to end up being stung in the a$$.
Right now “They” is Ukrainians with the help of western weapons.
And unfortunately Moscow Joe is slow walking aid. He’s only delivered 8 million of the $40 million congress authorized. NATO has been too slow with weapon support. They are only now getting Ukraine superior artillery needed to stop Russia’s advance. And they are only now thinking of providing fighter jets.
But if Ukraine fails to push Russia back, then it is in NATO’s best interest to get involved directly.
Billion, not million. One billion is one thousand times one million. One billion is such a large number that the word “billion” sounds too small.
Right
We’ve delivered 8 billion of $40 billion authorized. Maybe if Congress authorized $500 billion, Biden would have stepped it up a little and provided at least $10 billion by now.
Those numbers are cheap compared to what it will cost if we actually have to go in.
And consider that just one LPN facility alone in Ukraine that Russia seized was valued at $29 billion. And now Russia controls Europe’s largest Nuclear reactor. I wonder what that is valued at.
Europe will pay higher oil and gas prices and higher grain prices to Russia for decades if Ukraine loses this war. The stakes are much much higher than any paltry $40 billion.
The EU is falling apart. We are not far behind. This Ukraine scam will go down in history as the biggest suicide pact in history.
“How DARE you refuse us gas just because we are fighting a war against you !
The problem is Trump was assuming they could get it from us. Trump’s advice doesn’t hold water today. Today Russia is a more stable supplier than the US. Hey, Russia had no problem selling to them. The dolts in Brussels refuse to take the gas. Apparently they’d rather freeze. Stupid euro weenies are almost as self destructive as DC is.
It’s a double whammy of stupidity from both sides of the pond.
Bet Germany is pining for some mean tweets about now
As VP, DeSantis can study Trump methodology of hard hitting tactics, navigating DC and international affairs. Then on to the corner office for DeSantis in 2029.
