    Not an immediate outright denial? That's strange.

    It was not that simple, why would Putin take a simple agreement, especially considering the U.S. Has never said they were pushing for Ukraine in NATO.

    It's amazing how you try and find any way to **** on democrats, this is a stretch even for you.

    What happens when he starts threatening other members of NATO in that region?

    I guarantee that Trump would be the one projecting the false flag to justify the invasion. Putin wouldn't even have to do very much. Trump would tell the false story to rationalize the invasion. And the EU and NATO would be too busy disagreeing about what to do since in this world, the US isn't leaking any of the intelligence about the coming invasion.

    I can't emphasize how much crazier this would've been with Trump as president. He'd probably be calling Zelensky the war criminal instead of Putin.

    He's doing it now. He went on Clay Travis show and said that Putin didn't want to invade but got left with no choice because of Ukraine letting the situation get out of control.

    I don't know if he's compromised or not but I don't think ultimately it matters.

    He sympathizes with dictators. Nothing is more clear about Trump than his love for and desire to be a Strongman ruler.

    Also an incredibly important tactical element too because Putin's military is stretched right now, and having protests at a large enough scale to force him to pull back resources to deal with this would be a huge advantage to Ukraine being able to retake airfields, and have some time to truly put their major cities in a better place to defend themselves.

    Better it could topple Putin, or at least severely weaken him.

    I don't know much about missile defense systems, other than I know they do exist, and the more time the better.

    Because Putin told him so. Trump has and always will admire and believe in Putin. He will always be Putin's little puppet.

    Keystone pipeline would not raise domestic production, it was a conduit to get oil to the southern coast to then sell it to Europe.

    The U.S. is still a net exporter and rising gas prices actually helps the U.S. oil industry, it's becoming very clear that have no clue how this works.

    You might want to read this.

    https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained...ermined,materials from producers to consumers.

    Crude oil prices are determined by global supply and demand. Economic growth is one of the biggest factors affecting petroleum product—and therefore crude oil—demand. Growing economies increase demand for energy in general and especially for transporting goods and materials from producers to consumers.

    U.S. oil goes to wherever they can get the best price, it does not matter what's happening at home.
