Yep ..

This pretty much explains it. I guess the difference is that Trump is actually implementing his plan, not just talking about it and doing nothing like his predecessors.

Kicking the can down the road appears to be stopping with Trump. It's high time for this.

And no one cares that Musk is either acting without any authority or the DOJ just perjured themselves in court.

Yeah, from the sounds of things, Communist China is going to exploit the absence of US soft diplomacy (in the form of USAid) to gain more partners and allies through the Belt and Road Initiative.

The Democrats are complaining about Elon Musk. Elon has access to their records, Elon is Trump's vice President. Elon has access to our Nuclear secrets, etc....

Does anyone remember the name Sam Brinton ? Brinton, the transgender nightmare that underwent Conversion Therapy, served as the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy from June to December 2022. So, Brinton did possess knowledge of our Nuclear Programs. Brinton was dismissed by the Office of Nuclear Energy after being charged with luggage theft on three occasions at different Airports. Although highly educated, Brinton was caught at various airports stealing women's luggage. A designer saw Briton Wearing clothes she designed that were one of a kind and in her Luggage that was stolen.

This was all done on Biden and Kamala Harris's watch. I notice the Democrats were silent when these stories broke.

Has anyone noticed the really bizarre stories of equally bizarre people can't be made up ? Truth is stranger than fiction. :doh: I think given a choice, we'll take Elon Musk. :yep:

Or making accusations of transphobia against anyone who mentioned it because you know such weirdness needs to be accepted by the mainstream.

Do you think, there are some Trump voters who have regret their choice at the voting station, After his latest statement on the war in Ukraine ?

Markus

Absolutely. But I think every voter does not agree with everything a sitting president does.

what statement are you referring to?

That Zelensky was a dictator and it was Ukraine who started the war.

Markus

I've heard about that, but haven't heard the actual statement (that way I know what he said exactly and garner context)

I'm not well versed on the Government of Ukraine, but isn't the country under martial law? and isn't Zelensky ruling by fiat under that law? Plus normal elections have been "postponed" indefinitely (as far as I'm aware) That's pretty much the very definition of a dictator is it not?

As for Ukraine starting the war, They didn't "start" it, but they aren't completely blameless either. Their political machinations (both internal and international) played a large part in setting the stage for a fight and NATO pretty much ensured it would happen, then got cold feet.

This situation reminds me of the Cuban missile crisis, then you had 2 countries with one in the middle, here you have the same situation only with more countries involved on one side.

and rather than invade Cuba to solve the issue, the U.S. placed an embargo (which is still there to this day.)

Just my opinion. :03:

I doubt any of them care. Ukraine is an unimportant issue for US voters.

It is. It might come as a surprise to you, but Ukraine has been fighting a defensive war for almost three years by now - which should be more than enough reason for martial law.



No. Not only doesn't Zelensky rule alone, de jure doesn't rule at all (the parliament does). The role of the President of Ukraine is mostly representative, and only martial law has given him some additionall power (like supreme command over the armed forces). The Ukrainan parliament is still fully functional, despite the circumstances.



The last elections were held in July 2019, and in case you have forgotten the country is currently been invaded by an enemy aggressor, and holding elections would not only be difficult (especially in zones currently occupied by the Russians), but the population doesn't even see a reason why they should, on the ontrary, 65% of the population support the postponement of the elections for the duration of the war, while only 12% oppose it.




No. While the political moves towards the EU and towards NATO can -correctly- be seen as unfriendly in regards to Russia, this isactually a reaction to another Russian aggression- the invasion and annexation of the Krim peninsula in 2014. And of course it's an act of self-determination - something that has been heavily supported by American presidents, most notably by Woodrow Wilson and by FDR.


Do I need to mention again that it was Russia that invaded Ukraine with a large scale invasion in February 2022?


To achieve the goal of EU membership the government of Ukraine had taken measuers to reduce corruption and oligarchs' influence, which by 2022 were showing successes real progress.


The "Their political machinations"-talk is propaganda coming right from Russia, very little -if anything- about that is true. That talk has been around for a while because Russia actively blasts it on purpose into social media, especially in the English speaking nations and in Western Europe.



You are entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is deeply flawed, shows a serious deficit in background information and is based way too much on Russian propaganda. If you want a more fitting comparison with a historic event: the annexiation of the rump state of Chechoslovakia by Nazi Germany in March 1939 is much closer.
