You don't? Are you unable to see and hear these things with your own eyes and ears?
Have seen zero posts from you on how Trump buddies up to Xi.
Perhaps you can link some of them.
You can sure as shit listen to what he says, and watch what he does, though.
And the US military lose it's sole source of key microchips for MOST of our military hardware....
Gus doesn't seem to understand the "long game" that Putin and Xi are playing w/ Trump here. All he can do is hear mindless Trump chatter and cheer it on.
So, where are your PAST comments on this?
Now that you've been called out on it.
"He should wear a suit and tie also" is a far cry from "that is so disrespectful and inappropriate".
You have no links, do you?
It is literally happening right before your eyes.
All Trump has to do is refuse to commit US forces in support of other NATO countries; which is exactly what Putin and Xi will tell him to do, and he will comply when he gets a bunch of money, or a Trump Tower Beijing and Trump Tower Moscow.
Wrong again. He got himself and Ivanka a bunch of "trademarks" for cheap clothing with their names on it.
That is literally all he cares about. Practically every piece of Trump branded shit comes directly from China; he's heavily reliant on them for selling his brands, and that's not changing anytime soon.
We certainly did in WWII
And we taxed the rich to fund it, and develop the greatest manufacturing base the world had ever seen.
But, then we quit taxing the rich and started going deeper and deeper into debt.
Last time we had a balanced budget, tax receipts were 20% GDP; they've been 16% and will track lower if Trump and his GOP buddies push yet more tax cuts for the billionaires in this country.
The trick they keep fooling you with, is that you are in that group; but you are not.
SA, no doubt, was really in to Iraq and Afghanistan. Anyone who opposed invading and occupying 2 geopolitical shitholes was un-American. 6 trillion. But gosh, a few billion to cripple an actual geopolitical foe? Too much! America first!
Also herkyhawk00:
"There's no way Vietnam defeats America, right?"
"There's no way the Taliban/Afghanistan defeat America, right?"
"There's no way Afghanistan defeats the USSR, right?"
"There's no way David defeats Goliath, right?"
Finland, Poland, etc need to be launching Ukrainian drones at Russian energy infrastructure and refineries every other day.
Hit more of the Moscow infrastructure, too.
Just deny it, like Putin has with destroying undersea fiberoptic cables. That's a direct attack on NATO countries, and they need to push back and gut Russian infrastructure like a fish.
Playing right into Xi's hands here.
Losing Taiwan in advance of the US having alternate sources will shut down the pipeline of critical components for our most advanced military hardware. That would enable China and others to actually compete against us on the field of battle.
Precisely what Xi and Putin want, and they appear to be getting it w/ MAGA Morons cheering it all on
I understand how treacherous they are. You have no understanding of Ukraine oligarchs.
no not at all. You keep spouting military industrial complex and corruption.
you are likely correct. But you are blind to what they have on Bidenista s.
I edited my response becuase I don't want to get into the debate about countries Putin has invaded, reasons why, and the similarities in history to what the USA has done.
You're smart enough to understand my above statement has no relationship to whether I think countries should invade other countries. You also had enough character to come back and admit when you were wrong.
I noticed that the history expert @bcherod upvoted your response to me. I make a clear differentiation between yourself and someone who purports to be an expert in history and posts nonsense. God help her students if she indeed teaches.

Totally agree, I have considered it a huge hole in national security for years. I also considered it to be Biden's crowning glory so I'm not shocked it is being weakened or killed.
If that in fact is true, why aren't you quoting it as I asked yesterday? I mean, how hard is that?
Also, you're telling me your read the academic book I cited? Would it be o.k. if I started to ask you some questions about the author and content? I deleted that post for purposes of an experiment. You claim to have read my supporting links, so you should have no issue answering questions about the book while not being able to go back and do a Google search.
I mean the author is from UC Berkley, an obviously right leaning institution.
lol

The immaturity and incompetence of Bonespurs was on full display. Administration #2 dumpster fire is well into its wheel house. How embarassing for the good ol' USA.
I’m wondering how long before Krasnov sends US troops to Ukraine to support Russia
He invaded Georgia in the same manner as Ukraine. Their troops still occupy the northern tier.
Russo-Georgian War - Wikipedia
He believes that the countries who comprised the Soviet Union are part of what he refers to as "historical Russia". He also promised the world he would not invade Ukraine just months before invading it again.
He stated his reasoning for this last invasion was for going after Nazi's? Was that true or not? What was his ultimate reasoning?
IDGAF who upvoted my post. Why did you edit your post? What do you mean about scoring an internet win? Are you more interested in winning or being correct?
Anything, and everything, that Biden was "for", MAGA has to be "against".
Simply doesn't matter if it was a national security improvement. That is how they have been programmed.
Zelensky's position improved tons while the U.S. lost credibility and respect. How this translates in military terms remains to be seen. This depends on how NATO nations and now even other nations consider U.S. weakness and the possibility of future alliances to counter aggression. In other words, If there is a change in dynamics in international leadership, there will be a scramble.
Face it. The Orange Turd, and the VP did the unthinkable on broadcast television. It was an amateurish display by incompetents. Judge the world feedback which is larger and more crucial than the MAGA audience. Let's drop the political divide and think logically.
He continues to bash through his stance, when you ask for the actual supporting evidence, in my case a report he kept referring to about the VA, suddenly he doesn't have the time or ability to go find it, and by all my research does not exist. That is golfhacker summed up in a sentence.
I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to @ISUBryce so not sure what you post is about, and don't really care. Just wanted to clarify.
I'm also wondering if the "reporter" that asked Zelensky why he "wasn't wearing a suit" wasn't some setup meant to embarrass him?
Just a clownshow from the beginning.
That guy happens to be the one banging Marjorie Taylor Green.
^^^^This is an excellent comment.
It appears it's the world leaders vs MAGA in regards to the reaction to what occurred Friday.
Radical Right media has worked overtime to justify what happened.
