David Brooks: ‘We’d Be Looking at a Very Difficult’ Scenario with Russia, Ukraine if Trump Was President
Breitbart ^ | 19 Feb 2022 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 02/19/2022 2:59:43 PM PST by Mr. Mojo

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that “we’d be looking at a very difficult and very troubling” scenario if former President Donald Trump was still the president during the current situation with Russia and Ukraine. Because “Donald Trump was never one to really go toe-to-toe with Vladimir Putin.” While President Joe Biden “has done an excellent job of rallying the Western alliance.”

Brooks said, “The Biden administration has done an excellent job of rallying the Western alliance. It’s been a demonstration of why the world needs America to be a leader of the free world. Whether that will last as the costs ratchet up for all of us in the West, we will see. But, right now, it looks quite unified to me.”

If Trump were Prez there’d be no situation / scenario at all. And that’s because he was feared and respected.

<< Brooks said, “The Biden administration has done an excellent job of rallying the Western alliance. >>

In which alternate universe? I doubt Brooks was challenged on that BS.

The plan is here is transparent, with help from the usual media propagandists: Build this situation up to be a crisis of historical magnitude, and when Russia doesn’t invade, Biden will take credit in hopes of mitigating his well-deserved reputation as a weakling.

But it’ll be in vain. No sale.

Isn’t Brooks, who never met a leftist he didn’t like, the resident “conservative” at the NYT?

I won't accuse David Brooks of being a liar.

I will accuse him of being an insufferable fool.

Or maybe he is just on drugs.

Brooks is a joke. Rallying the Western alliance? To do what? Putin knows we aren’t going to have a war.

Take your soppressata baguette and shove it up your perfectly creased pant leg, Brooks.

We really can’t blame Brooks, because he is an idiot.

The person to blame is the a%%hole that signs his paycheck.

Trump killed 200 Russian paramilitary in the Syrian desert when they tried to attack the American base with artillery.

The media covered up the whole thing and Pompeo talked about it once in congressional testimony.
