We all know that Biden/Harris are extremely weak. Have been able to do NOTHING. The chatter in Eastern Europe was that when Harris was send as the US representative to Munich that Putin when all in. Analogous to the US sending Condoleezza Rice to Iraq to discuss policy with Saddam Hussein. Weak and Wimpy - Demo. Has there ever been a weaker team representing the US in the last +200 yrs.?
Putin saw Biden's Afganistan debacle. China is watching how Putin invading Ukraine plays out. Taiwan is next.
When you are weak, you only grasp at straws and try to project strength by show only. Look at US troops being sent in by Joe Biden to Estonia and Poland. If war breaks out in Ukraine and it spills over into Poland and Estonia, US troops will be at severe risk of being killed needlessly. Russia is employing its heavy weapons, tanks, missiles, warships, fighter jets, all at once. You know if full out war breaks out, Russia will come out full force and try to end it quick. Huge casualties, civilian and military will be the result.
''Putin was very strong and powerful.'' President Donald J Trump........Helsinki. Here is him with the fawnings......Dec 2007.
Nothing says not woke like invading your poor neighbor country and destroying your own economy. No wonder Cons love Putin.
Putin is a mass murderer, has order the killings of uncounted, bombings, shootings, faked suicides and often by slow poison. He is a narcissist, a successful one, so if you want to respect him for that fine but I'd just put a bullet in his brain.
No, we certainly do not have to respect Putin. We should not underestimate him though. And this is the line I watch right wing people in America cross day after day. Putin in no way shape or form deserves the respect of anyone from the west. He is a threat to us and if you think coddling him is a good idea then you are a fool. Not to underestimate your opponent is good advice though.
