Trump DOES pay his debts

Can you imagine if Trump were a stripper? “Want me to take off my diaper? That’s $40.”

Wow, this administration is as crooked as it comes

PT why do you consider this a partisan issue? vox.com

@PT As the AP News report indicates, Biden added measures against bad actors from Russia, lacking in the Trump Administration, and Trump dropped them. Trump's actions in Syria benefited Russia: apnews.com . The corresponding corruption of the corporatist Democrats is more subtle. They finance their campaigns through contributions from those who get rich offshoring US jobs. But no other major politician and/or their family directly profits from foreign adversaries the way Trump and his family does.

It could be that Putin was confident that Trump would block Ukraine from joining NATO. Trump provoked his first impeachment by impounding aid to Ukraine. My speculation is just as valid as your speculative leapfrogging from coincidence to causality. Trump didn't get Russian out of Georgia or Crimea. Trump didn't stop Russia's ongoing proxy war in Eastern Ukraine.

My speculation is supported by more than coincidence: apnews.com

@PT read the quotes from Trump himself in the article.

And of course all this is accurate, because PT said so. In the fantasy world were a guy with a cartoon character handle on a pervert website is a reliable primary news source, Trump is a great President.

There's no more reason to say the 2022 invasion of Ukraine wouldn't have happened without Biden, than there is to say the COVID pandemic wouldn't have happened without Trump.

If you blame Biden for provoking Putin to attack, you should also blame Trump for provoking Hamas to attack: en.wikipedia.org

^^ ‘ Giving Donbass to Russia--which it wants to be anyways--in exchange for a muscular peace deal, is the best case for everyone.’

Are you taking your history lessons from Neville Chamberlain ?

@PT when the facts I refer to are challenged, I provide links to primary news sources. Reuters has the highest standards, but they are among those that have pay walls. AP News is not as good about sticking to neutral language, and they let some analysis leak into nominally straight news articles. But AP gets points for being non-profit. Other established news sources do this, also favoring the left but more strongly, or strongly favoring the right. I don't rely on pundits, or comedian-pundits, as news sources. I don't think my handle is clever, or that anyone should trust what I say, unless I back it with a trustworthy news source.

Zelenskyy was elected in 2019, and COVID impaired Russia's ability to react more quickly. That seems a more plausible explanation for the timing of the invasion, as opposed to Ukraine possibly joining NATO at some unspecified date years in the future.

I personally am not provoked by the Abraham Accord, I said Hamas was. Palestinians had good reason to be angry at HOW the Abraham Accord was achieved: by the Trump Administration saying it would recognize formal Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem and other parts of the West Bank.

How did US aid to Palestinians support Hamas's attack on Israel? You can't starve out Hamas without starving out all of Gaza. It's plausible to argue that October 7 justifies that. But, that might put the governments of Arab/Muslim countries in a situation where they would either make war on Israel, or be overthrown by new governments that would.

It's not for us to negotiate for Ukraine. The US will decide whether to increase, maintain, reduce or stop assistance to Ukraine. Imagine if, when Japan invaded China in 1931, the US had embarked on strongly supporting China, rearming itself, and fortifying The Philippines. It makes no sense to pressure Ukraine to give up before they are ready. If a deal was made for Ukraine to give up territory and get immediate membership in NATO, that would be a peace that had a chance of lasting. But I don't think Putin would ever agree to that, and it wouldn't save the US any money.

The Trump Administration caused Iran to move closer to having nuclear weapons.
