Trump had no choice but to add to the national debt, since there was still the recession left from Bush/Obama, and covid was a sledge hammer on the economy.
But that did NOT at all "set the stage for the inflation we have" now.
The inflation we have now is totally and completely due to the illegal economic sanctions Biden illegally imposed on Russia.
There is no excuse for such foolish and criminal acts.
Russia is more than justified to defend itself against the multiple acts of war by the ethnic Polish who illegally took over the Ukraine in 2014.
While you may have a point in that Trump may not treat the Palestinians any better than Biden did, at least Trump would not have given Netanyahu the extra $20 billion reward for murder that Biden did.
The first time I didn't even read far enough to see you again arguing in defense of Russia. What is wrong with you people? THis is russian spin
At the time of the partition, approximately ten percent of the population of the territories annexed by Russia was Polish.
[16] Poles included wealthy magnates with large estates, poorer nobles who worked as administrators or soldiers, and peasants. Long after this region ceased being a part of Poland, Poles continued to play an important role in both the province and in the city of
Kyiv. Until the failed
Polish insurrection of 1830–1831, Polish continued to be the administrative language in education, government and the courts.
[11] In 1812 there were over 43,000 Polish noblemen in
Kyiv Governorate, compared to only approximately 1,000 "Russian" nobles
The situation of Polish minority has improved when
Ukraine regained independence, the policy of
Sovietization ended and various Polish non-governmental organizations were allowed to operate. On October 13, 1990 Poland and Ukraine agreed to the "Declaration on the foundations and general directions in the development of Polish–Ukrainian relations". Article 3 of this declaration said that neither country has any territorial claims against the other, and will not bring any in the future. Both countries promised to respect the rights of national minorities in the land and to improve the situation of minorities in their countries. This declaration re-affirmed the historic and ethnic ties between Poland and Ukraine, containing a reference to "the
ethnic and
cultural kinship of the Polish and Ukrainian peoples". Under the "Declaration of rights of nationalities of Ukraine" (approved November 7, 1991) Poles, as minorities, were guaranteed political, economic, social, and cultural rights. The Polish minority in Ukraine were and have been active supporters of Ukrainian independence; they supported
Viktor Yushchenko over
Viktor Yanukovych virtually as a bloc in the disputed
2004 election.
The number of Poles in Ukraine declined after Ukraine's independence, with a total number of 144,130 counted in the
census of 2001. Most Poles who remained in Ukraine were and are concentrated in
Zhytomyr Oblast (about 49,000),
Khmelnytskyi Oblast (about 20,000), and
Lviv Oblast (about 19,000). However, the official 2001 census numbers are highly controversial and questioned by many (for example, the Union of Poles in Ukraine,
Roman Catholic Church in Ukraine and even Polish Consulate General in Lviv
[4]) who allege that the real number of Poles and Polish descendants living in Ukraine is up to 2 million people.
