    Isn't it amazing that a neutral Ukraine as to what was to be expected following the Minsk agreement which only came about after Western powers did a coup on a Ukraine created a moment of breathing for both sides? It's almost as if neutrality was the ultimate goal... Trump's ignorance was preferable to Clinton's cackling or Biden's sniffing. I'd take the idiot anyday of the week over any of the establishment puppets.

    Blah Blah Blah Crimea Crimea Crima Blah Blah Blah

    If you could have disputed what I posted, you would have.
    But you decided to deflect to Crimea.

    Heres the facts. Dispute them or move on

    Trump killed over 200 Russians in Syria
    Trump ousted over 60 Russian Oligarchs
    Trump was the first president to give lethal aid to Ukraine to kill Russians
    Trump sanctioned the NS2 pipeline stopping Putin from having a gas monopoly in Europe
    Trump imposed more sanctions that any other president in history against Russia
    This is your idea of Trump making nice with Russia? This is your reality?

    Dementia Joe lifts sanctions against Putin in June allowing Putin to gain a monopoly of all EU utilities
    Biden turns around and stops all lethal aid to Ukraine in May.
    Then idiot Biden makes a public announcement that no US troops will go to Ukraine. When he was never even asked that question.

    So you can either keep running or dispute the facts.
    Your choice

    Putin does not have a monopoly of European utilities. Yes they buy a significant amount of oil and gas from Russia but 38% of their electricity comes from renewables.

    Europe has been buying fossil fuel energy from Russia for some time it is not new. Nordstream 2 is just a better way to deliver it and unlike Nordstream one it bypasses Ukraine.

    Actually Europe is a test case for the climate change lie. Here is a continent that has little oil and gas and has every reason to move to renewables and any alternative energy souces. They act obsessed about global warming yet here they are buying significant energy from unsavory countries. They have been obsessed with CC for 30 years and still get 50% of their energy from fossil fuels.

    But they support democrat's proposal's for high taxes on the superrich.

    So the notion they are 'cronies' really has no significance.

    See, the term 'cronies', carries the connotation of doing things for your rich buddies, and that applies far more to Trump, than Obama or Biden.

    See, the rich support Obama and Biden because they are better for America, on the whole, whereas the rich who support Trump, do it for self interest, and by that measure, the term 'cronies' applies more accurately to Trump and his cohorts in cahoots.
    Taxpayers? Well, how about that -- the majority of taxpayers voted for candidates who are more likely to do them good.

    Last time I checked, it's called democracy.

    Given that Obama and Biden fought for 14 months to get the ACA passed, which got me an operation in the nick of time, Obama saved the auto industry with bailouts that were paid back with interest, and Biden got me PPP loan that saved my business, they being the one's who signed the legislation into law, your accusation of 'they would step over me if I were unconscious and bleeding' does not ring true.
    Who's kidding who?

    You know damn well you meant it in a disparaging tone, consistent with 'Obama and Biden would step over you if you were unconscious and bleeding', an allegation utterly vacuous and without foundation.

    Yes, but it was reinvigorated a second time with Biden under the American Rescue Plan and was restructured. Under Trump, I applied for it and was rejected, but under the new PPP loan per the American Rescue Plan, I applied and got it.

    How it is strange? It's less formal, but that doesn't equal strange.
    Volumes? What does that even mean, and by what convoluted artifice of twisted thought did such verbiage arise?
    "despicable human being". is a noun phrase, now that you are pinning me down on the precise grammatical term.
    There you go, again. I'll file that in the unicorn dreams file.

    Despicable is an adjective.

    Is all this nonsense because you are getting owned on the Ukraine issue? You never heard of volumes pertaining to books?

    And strange, unusual however one describes it it is not normal or typical for a person to say a president "got you" something. I guess that might be ghetto speak. Obama got me this phone!

    That is stupid logic. If taxes on rich individuals are reduced it is for ALL rich individuals. Not just those who agree with it. Personally i did not agree with it. I totally agreed with reduced tax rates on corporate profits.

    Is that seriously an argument?

    ACA has been a boon to big Pharma and increased the cost of health care in this country.

    If you read the link, you'd see billionaires are typically Republicans and the vote for Biden was an exception.

    Adjectives can be part of a noun phrase.

    "Noun phrases are groups of words that function like nouns. Typically, they act as subjects, objects or prepositional objects in a sentence. While that might seem tricky to grasp, the best way to understand these useful phrases is to see them in action. Get a clear idea of a noun phrase and how it is used in a sentence through examples."

    If I say Joe Biden is despicable what is the noun and which word is the adjective?

    Yes by me and others. Like right now!

    Here is Trump close talking with the Russian president. The issue being discussed was missiles in Europe. Important right? Treason? Traitor at least. Collusion!



    But wait it is not Trump, is is the magic man telling Russia just wait until after the election wink wink. Now it is ok?

    George H.W. Bush was the last U.S. President to deal effectively with Russia. Trump was playing nice with Putin while Russia continued occupying Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine.

    If Russia is allowed to provide gas to the EU from NS2, they will have a monopoly on gas. That pipeline can provide twice the amount needed at a much lower rate and the entire EU will be on it.
    Once that is accomplished, (In Putins head) he will make demands. In 2006 Putin shut off all gas running through Ukraine right in the middle of winter claiming a money dispute. His real reason for taking Ukraine is controlling their oil and gas which will give him control over who gets gas and who doesn't.

    Next he would make demands like either leave NATO or you will be shut off. Its what he does. And it would take months before those NATO allies could recover and a lot of dead people without heat.

    You don't reply to what I write, so I decided to identify your absurd claims.

    Funny, you use that EXACT same claim with other posters you run from when you can't dispute their post.
    So you keep running.

    It's a mutually beneficial thing not a one sided thing which most capitalists and libertarians would see as a positive. Russia's economy is dependent on oil and gas so why would they want to screw their best customers?

    If push comes to shove they can buy from somebody else. 83% of natural gas produced in the world is by countries other than Russia.

    Free trade promotes peace right?

    Trump did say to tell "Vlad" that he would be more flexible after the election.....no wait, that was Obama.

    Then there was Trump’s Russia reset that was a disaster.....no wait, that was Hillary.

    Then there was Trump’s oil policies that just funded Putins invasion.....no wait, that is Biden.

    What is the beef with Trump again?
