It would appear not to be a coincidence that trump repeated a Russian talking point shortly after...

[Billiejeens]

Nope. I remember the dems pissing their pants that Reagan was a "cowboy".

They ridiculed him mercilessly when he predicted that the soviet union would end up on the ash heap of history.


They were wrong and they never admitted it, nor learned.

The same groups that were horrified at his prediction, are now the same groups attacking Trump. And they are just as certain of their beliefs today as they were then, and with just as little consideration of if that is justified.

This
Every word.

I really think that I liked the 70's and 80's Democrats a little better.

They were wrong about everything, of course.
For the most part they were not insane totalitarians, though.

Nah, you are uninformed. Reagan supported the contras, and thousands of US personnel left the service so not to be shot at with US muniions.

 

[Moonglow]

Sure. That's why they banned supporting the contras. LOL. You are LYING.

No, I am sitting.

The effort to support the Contras was one component of the Reagan Doctrine, which called for providing military support to movements opposing Soviet-supported, communist governments. By December 1981, the United States had already begun to support armed opponents of the Sandinista government.

then this happened.



Public knowledge of routine human rights abuses committed by the Contra rebels led to the passage of the Boland Amendment by Congress, which cut off any appropriated funding for the Contras that would be used to overthrow the Nicaraguan government.

No it isn't. Democrats brought it on themselves.

This is the point when I ask myself why am I wasting time conversing with a nitwit with no accurate understanding of history...........and put you on ignore. Bye-bye.

 

[Moonglow]

In August 1985, Congress approved $25 million in humanitarian aid to the Contras, with the proviso that the State Department, and not the CIA or the DOD, administer the aid. President Reagan created the Nicaraguan Humanitarian Assistance Office (NHAO) to supply the humanitarian aid.

You people sure do have a weird obsession with Russia. Could it be racism? What is it?

It's a reaction to trump's disturbing affinity for Putin and authoritarian rule.

You have every one that isn't a berg sycophant - on ignore -

The only remedy that would be better would be for you to simply leave the site.
Your spam is tiresome.

President Trump is 100% opposite of what you feel that he is.
That's your issue.

Just a suggestion. If you have a link to credible sources substantiating your belief, provide it. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a worthless opinion.

You should start a thread on that totally unrelated topic, Troll.

It is documented history.
There is literally an entire world out there that you have no idea exists.

Trump stopped Nord Stream 2, told NATO to spend more on defense and to end their
reliance on Russian energy. How was that being on Russia's side?

Biden allowed Nord Stream 2 construction to resume and said a minor incursion might be okay.
How is that being on Ukraine's side?

Yet the Kremlin is pushing the narrative that the problem is that there is no legitimate Ukrainian authority with which it can deal. As such, Putin can proclaim his commitments to a peace without making any commitments or compromises necessary to any true negotiation process.

Meanwhile, painting Zelenskyy as a “dictator” dampens the enthusiastic support that once greeted him from democratic countries. This, is turn, can translate to the reduction or even end of military support for Kyiv, Putin hopes, allowing him a fillip in what has become a war of attrition.

What Putin needs for this plan to work is a willing partner to help get the message out that Zelenskyy and the current Ukraine government are not legitimate representatives of their country – and into this gap the new U.S. administration appears to have stepped.

That's where Putin's useful idiot, trump, comes in.

MAGA voters caused this.

Zelensky is just as authoritarian as Putin, if not more.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Zelensky is just as authoritarian as Putin, if not more.

But is not allied with Putin, as our MAGA schlump is.

You've been reading Kremlin press releases again. Or trump's comments. They are closely aligned.
