paxamericana Posted August 16, 2025 Report Posted August 16, 2025 This brings up many interesting question, should America have defended Europe from Russia? What is in it for America to do so? Russia would have gladly paid America handsomely to step aside. Russia and America are not natural enemies. Quote

August1991 Posted August 16, 2025 Report Posted August 16, 2025 Putin wants a regime change in Kiev. IOW, Zelenskiyy must go - and western Ukraine must become like Belorus. (Zelenskiy is a Russian actor but that's another story... ) This is an ugly Slavic war. ===== In 1993, Nixon thought Russians were still Communists, Soviets. He was wrong. Since the 1990s, we live in a new world. Quote

Do not dismiss the question, this is the heart of American Isolationism. Why should we defend Europe? What do we get in exchange for our blood and treasure? Russia poses no real threat to America. Their nukes do not need to face Washington , but Beijing. Edited August 16, 2025 by paxamericana Quote
Chrissy1979 Posted August 16, 2025 Report Posted August 16, 2025 A CCCP shirt? Putin just showed up to make a mockery of Trump before the whole world. The U.S. has never been so weak. 1 Quote

It’s going to be based on the election cycle. It’ll be another 4 years to get a chance at American engagement with the allies again. This decade is the protectionist decade. Quote

To get Trump to delay further secondary sanctions on India and China that would eviscerate the Russian oil export. This is also bad for the world as the Siberian oil contain water as a byproduct. This will go offline permanently if the pipe freezes from a pause in production. Skyrocketing oil prices world wide unless more production comes online elsewhere to offset.

Regardless of what Putin says, the facts stand on their own. Putin did not invade on Trumps watch. Trump outright threatened him not to while he was President. Trump also authorized more lethal anti-tank weapons... the very weapons that helped stop the initial invasion from completely taking Ukraine on week 1. 1 Quote

herbie Posted August 21, 2025 Report Posted August 21, 2025 Ukraine war was avoidable if Greatest President Trump was President (2020) and we see who's stupid enough to believe it. Quote

SpankyMcFarland Posted August 23, 2025 Report Posted August 23, 2025 Trump should get Ghislaine Maxwell to confirm this while he’s at it. Quote ‘How small we make our worlds. Gather them in, tighten them up into little castles of fear.’
