Please link these posts you say I wrote. I have never said that was the only reason (or even a reason) for Putin's invasion.In post after post you suggest the only reason for Putin to go to war this year was that Trump was no longer in office, but there is no basis for thinking Putin held Trump in such high regard that he would have hesitated to launch the invasion for fear of what Trump might do. So, if you want to help Ukraine, leave toxic US politics out of it.
I have observed that he did not invade while Trump was in office (a fact), and I have said that Biden is weak- and that weakness empowers both Putin and Xi (another fact). I have noted that for Xi and Putin both, Trump was unpredictable- and that unpredictability will naturally factor into their calculus.
Those replies, when I have written them, have always been in response to another poster who tries to lay the blame on Trump, or attempts to insert Trump into the Ukraine conversation, or makes stupid claims about Trump being a stooge for Putin.
I have never just made a post that blames the invasion on Biden, because the invasion was Putin's decision, and no one else is responsible. I have never made a post to say "This would not have happened on Trump's watch", or anything that could be taken that way.
You seem to be suffering from TDS. Get over it. Or at least take your grievances to the politics forum where they belong...
