Donald Trump: This is a war (in Ukraine) that never should have started.

[Deadstick]

It wouldn't have "tolerated" but it wasn't strong enough to do anything about it, other than bluff and make threats it couldn't carry out. Imagine how short the war would have been had they attack with US troops there.

Like i said deluded, of course they were strong enough, this was not the 1990s, and what the hell did it have to do with the US anyway? Ukraine was not in Nato and the coup Regime was illegal and still is, if anyone should have gone in at that time it was Russia.

Do you really think Russia makes decisions based on who is in the White House? Russia will make decisions based on what is right for the Country and people, i doubt Putin stays awake at night worrying about who is the US President, the World doesn't revolve around the US even though they think it does.

But the pattern here is Russia usually backed off when a strong US President was in. Kennedy faced the Soviets head on and they backed down, Reagan also.

No, US backed down and took missles from Turkey

Did they? if you mean the Cuban missile incident the USSR agreed to not deploy missiles in Cuba but what your Media never told you there ws a trade off that the US would not have their missiles in Turkey, if they can face Hitler down they can face anyone down.

No. Kennedy suggested mutually acceptable deal (which included removing of American Medium range missiles from Europe and Turkey) and Reagan suggested mutually acceptable deal. Its not about being strong or weak. Its more about being smart or stupid.
