Maybe the undertaker would like to go fight Russia. What a phony.

I’m afraid the end to this war cannot be resolved without Ukraine giving up BOTH the Donbas region and Crimea. Those will be Russia’s non-negotiables.

Putin isn’t going to face his own people and tell them that hundreds of thousands of Russian young men died for nothing. It ain’t gonna happen.

Democrats and RINOs have never met a war that they didn’t want to get involved in ...

The Dems would rather the war continue until Ukraine ceases to exist.

The only reason to visit Ukraine 8 times is to meet the USAID bag man and open a new safe deposit box.

It’s time to just leave Europe, period. No more troops. No more money.

As to the Ukraine/Russia war, ask both sides if they want Trump to mediate. If either side says no, then step back. Don’t get involved one way or the other.

Then let the EU try to sort things out, on their dime.

Wonder what Blumenthal got for those trips? He didn’t go out of the kindness of his heart.

If I were Trump, I’d say, “Well OK then. Don’t like our approach to this f’n debacle? Tell you what, we’re outa here. You guys handle it, and by the way we’re going to withdraw all of our military assets from Europe starting TOMMOROW. You’re on your own”

Anyone with HALF A BRAIN knows that...unfortunately there are a number of people, still here, that want us to think that they don’t have half a brain.

awesome, Democrats have now very PUBLICLY shown that they are:

grossly and unabashedly anti-Semitic

anti Israel

pro-foreign wars

anti-secure borders

pro unlimited illegal immigration actually paid for by Federal taxpayers ...

pro government corruption

pro massive and obvious wasteful and corrupt Federal spending ... thus pro massive taxation and inflationary borrowing by the FedGov

pro massive regulations

anti domestic energy independence

anti energy production

anti energy altogether

so, i ask, why would ANYONE who is actually paying attention ever vote for a Democrat?

Well Da Nang Dick, feel free to get your ass over there and grab a rifle if you feel that strongly about it.

Newsflash! The Ukes are losing. Almost an entire generation of men is dead. How many more do you think you can feed into the shredder before they collapse entirely? The American people don’t want to fund this or the massive grift that goes with it any more.

Ally ? What alliance does he think we are in that includes Ukraine ?

It is certainly not in NATO.

I believe if they push him far enough he will do just as you’ve described. And the sooner the better in my view.

DaNang Dick: did you bring any “bling” back with you?
