Thanks, I also tried to do it with a little humor considering your username.No Spin Ag said:Nailed it.richardag said:I think I get what you're saying.No Spin Ag said:I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying that no one should be surprised by how he handled things. I'm also not praising him, just saying that because Putin decided to invade on Biden's watch, Biden will be there with the rest to celebrate Ukraine's victory when it happens.aTmAg said:Please. It's not merely "lame" or merely "not Biden". It's flat out incompetence and weakness. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. The Ukrainians weren't "aw shucks.. there goes Biden again.." they were LIVID. As they should have been. The WH had to rush out and release a "clarification". But it was too late. Putin got the message loud and clear: The man at the top does not really have the stomach for it. And that is all they needed to hear.No Spin Ag said:It starts out with "Russia will be held accountable", but I get that it reads very vanilla, and compared to Trump, just lame. I'll be the first to say I wish he would've said it in a harsher tone, but that's not Biden. He's not a brawler like Trump or even a straight shooter like W, he's a senator and that's just how he speaks/thinks.aTmAg said:
Prior to Putin invading, Biden said in a press conference:Implying to everybody (and especially angry and vocal Ukranian leadership) that we wouldn't really do anything harsh if it was a "minor incursion".Quote:
Russia will be held accountable if it invades, and it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion, and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera. But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the force amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia.
Now, those words being said, I'm sure everyone in Ukraine is happy with what he's approved and been a part of to help them get to where they are today.
And Ukraine sure as hell wasn't happy when Biden squashed the Polish MIG deal. And it's very likely that Biden would have acted just like Obama and refrained from giving them weapons that were worth a damn if it wasn't for tiny ass nations like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania offering Ukraine their Javelins right away. If tiny ass nations like that, which border Russia (or nearly border in Lithuania's case) can hang their necks out there and give Ukraine their best weapons, then what possible excuse would Biden, the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth (and on the other side of the world), have for not doing so? None. Biden was practically dragged kicking and screaming into doing the right thing. He has not been praiseworthy at all.
I do find it amusing that(re:if I understand you correctly)even after all the weakness and blunders the current President's administration has done regarding Ukraine, if Ukraine prevails this administration will spin it as a victory for their policies rather than in spite of their policies.
edit for clarity

Trump should keep his big mouth shut instead of constantly saying idiotic things
if he had done so over the last 5 years he would have been a two term president
but he can't help himself from being an undisciplined loudmouth

Putin is the Russian version of MAGA in Make Russia Great Again. MARA
The problem for Putin is that the Russian Military is a reflection of Russian Culture and the Russian People.
With some exceptions like Navalny they are the lowest most stupid and corrupt of white people with their drinking in the morning and going drunk into battle.
Many die by 55 from alcoholism, smoking and heart disease.
They are like drunken Monkeys with Hand Grenades as is Putin himself

Obama: Putin takes Crimea

This is reality. I don't give a crap about the words. It's about real people and their lives. The dem leaders you worship are responsible for making Putin feel enabled.
Too bad this enablement has led to thousands of lives being destroyed.
Putin "minded his manners" cuz he got what he wanted with his lapdog in office.
Just accept that your guys are incompetent weaklings. Take your licks and try to nominate somebody better next time. If they exist.
Dude, the dems ****ing suck.Lapdog trump just sucked worse.hence his L.

It has been a disaster, not a "genius" move. Putin was so afraid of Trump he tried to help him win twice.
You are confusing Putin's intent and reasoning for invading when he did with the actual outcome of said invasion. He obviously and clearly didn't do it while Trump was President because Trump had already hit Putin in the mouth twice in Syria. Trump was also a unique entity on the global stage that hasn't been seen in the modern era of US Presidents...if ever. He was a wildcard and the world looked upon him as such which is why you saw conflict across the globe die down, relatively speaking. There was all kinds of analysis written about this attribute of his presidency at the time. Everyone was scared to act up because they didn't know how the most powerful country on the planet would respond other than punch you in the throat if you got out of line.Whistle Pig said:cevans_40 said:

Just "vibes" and "feels" things would be "different" because the man Putin tried to help elect would be "tough".
Trump has no idea what he would do differently.
No it's been a demonstrable disaster. Nobody thinks this is "genius", not even Putin. It's ok to admit it, you don't have to play goalie anymore.Quote:

All these words……. Trump was ignorant. Trump was dumb. Trump can't run a lemonade stand. Trump this Trump that.
Here is all that matters.
Did Russia do anything while Trump was in office?
Yes or no?
No, it's mostly the weakness of democrats. One merely needs not be a total incompetent pansy to make sure that doesn't happen.TXAGFAN said:Fantastic logic - everything that did or did not happen is a result of trump?Agsrback12 said:
