Cuba doesn't share a border with the US. Duh. I didn't say he had an excuse to invade Ukraine, just trying to help you understand their reasoning.
They share a maritime border, and they are a mere 90 miles away from our most sensitive areas in Florida.
We've also seen China make inroads into Latin America, which we traditionally considered our sphere of influence, and we haven't invaded anyone.
Russia already has had former Soviet Republics join NATO. This isn't about that. It was about the Ukraine chasing out a pro-Russian government that shot its own people.
The idea that Russia was somehow "justified" or we should "understand" their reasoning is silly.
They wouldn't have done so under Trump, but with Biden showing weakness and incompetence in the Afghanistan withdrawal, Putin figure why not give it a shot. Remember, their demands BEFORE actually invading were related to baring Ukraine from joining NATO. The US responded with a no guarantee and a "don't, don't, don't' response from Biden. Funny enough, they didn't think much of Biden's "threat". Biden and his incompetent administration doesn't know the difference between diplomacy and a PB&J sandwich.
Oh, stop fucking lying, Cleetus.
Afghanistan was a shit show because Trump and Pompeo sold our Afghan Allies down the river at Doha.
The reason why Puty didn't invade during the Trump years was he was ALREADY given everything he wanted. A free hand in Crimea and Donbas, pulling out of Syria, holding up weapon shipment to Ukraine and blocking their admission to NATO. Shit, Trump even tried to get Russia back into the G-7! (The other allies shot him down.)
NONE of our enemies respect this administration. Why should they when this administration presents men in women's dresses and routinely hires incompetent people solely on the basis of race and gender. Other, less spoiled, countries haven't fallen victim to the woke crap. They laugh at us in this regard, as they should. This is exactly whey the world is so much more of a dangerous place under Biden. Face it, you guys are wimps, or at least seen as wimps, to the nth degree. Wait and see what happens on the world stage when Trump takes over. Things will "magically" settle down and yet you dimwits still won't get it, that is assuming that Biden doesn't start WWIII on his way out.
Guy, our problems in life are not because of Woke.
Our problems in life is that Republicans have gotten stupid people like you all upset about woke while the rich demolish your nice, middle class lives brought to you by Democrats.
If I offered you a million dollars, but you had to treat a trans person like their identified gender, I'm guessing your objections would disappear pretty quickly.
As for Trump, we've seenwhat his kind of management looks like. Plagues, Riots, and recession.
You mean like Kavanaugh raped that women?
Actually, several women came forward to report that kind of behavior from him. Most of it in his HS and College years, and normally, I wouldn't have an issue with that. Most of us regret who we were in HS and College. But they didn't do an investigation, they just rammed the nomination through.
How about like the Russian collusion narrative that many of you moon bats still believe despite the Steele Dossier.
You mean the one where Weird Beard Durham spent four years trying to prove that the FBI was doing something criminal, and was laughed out of court?
As opposed to Mueller, who got convictions of Trump minions for Russian Collusion before Trump pardoned them?
COVID likely leaked from a lab. You nuts acted as if that was just impossible, despite evidence to the contrary. Many to this day still don't know because the MSM won't come clean. You are being led around by the nose and don't even know it.
Except again, where's your evidence? They've taken the Covid Virus apart molecule by molecule, and they've found no evidence of gene splicing or any other manipulation.
What they have found is lots of evidence that it spread through the Wuhan Seafood Market,
Shit, I've seen some awful things in Asian Markets in this country, even with all the rules. I could imagine what kind of shit goes on over there. (Mrs. B131, who is from Sichuan, says she'd never eat food from Wuhan, even before Covid. They just eat some weird stuff.)
Then why was the MSM attempting to tell you that he was "as sharp as a tack?" Did it make you mad that they were telling you something you knew was false?
I must have been watching a different MSM. The one that made a big deal every time he spent 10 seconds looking for an exit off a stage vs. the consistent Sane-washing of Trump we've seen.
Here's the ugly truth about the MSM
1) They are big corporations, so they are probably fine with the Plutocracy Trump is ready to unleash on us.
2) Trump is good for ratings because he makes such a spectacle of himself.
It's the problem you have when News is supposed to sell Corn Flakes.
He was forced into doing the "right thing". Brainwashed folks recognize this. They setup him up by allowing him to debate, past his bedtime no less. They knew he was going to fail and they figured that would be enough to make you thick folks believe that he willingly stepped down. You are easily manipulated puppets and your masters know it.
Or he realized after the debate he didn't have the stanima to do this. I personally wish he had come to this realization earlier. But after a year of Trump and the Insane Clown Posse screwing things up, we are going to miss Joe's minor gaffes.
Biden doesn't stumble. He says and does the wrong things. You can't blame a stutter for him wondering off stage or him saying that he went to 54 states. Thankfully, his most recent "garbage" comment played right into our hands, but I don't think that was a gaffe. He just said what is in his and many liberals heart...a disdain for anyone that opposes their opinions.
Oh, I think he was rightfully describing the people who called people "Garbage" at the Nazi Rally at MSG.
The fully part is that we do have the respect, which is why we won. It is hard for a normal person to respect loons who can't tell the difference between a man and a woman.
Guy, you "won" (49.9%) because people were upset about inflation, not because they all hate on the trannies like you do.
So your opinion is they hired him because he was the best guy for the job. I mean he was an attorney. He also happened to be a crack head and the son of the US VP who was special envoy to Ukraine. Believe what you will, but most people are able to put 2+2 together. I have a feeling you wouldn't have a hard time either if this would have been Trump and one of his sons.
Well, I'd have a hard time believing that because Eric and Don Jr. are morons. As demonstrated by the fact that they've never held a position outside of the Trump Organization. Trump was pretty fast to throw them under the bus during the bank fraud trial, though.
So, going back to my point, what did they supposedly get for all of this? What policy change? Especially since most of the money came after Joe was out of office.
Right, so they decided to shoot them down off the coast of SC after it had traversed the entire country to check it out. Brilliant I tell ya. You guys are super smart. This is the reason you lunatics shouldn't be running our military. The majority of you guys are too dumb to run the military and too wimpy to fight in it. It is a real conundrum as to how to make good use of such people.
If they shot it down over land, it might have killed someone on the ground, not to mention the impact would have made it impossible to examine the wreckage.
