    Are you aware of the behavior of middle school girls? I have never seen such a vicious lot.

    Putin invaded Ukraine during the ineffectual Obama and Biden administrations. blaming his escapades on Trump is not supported by the facts.

    John Bolton would disagree with that. Trump is part of the puzzle with his tendencies to support autocrats but he doesn’t deserve the blame. Trump certainly didn’t mind having pro Russian individuals like Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn in his circle.

    Because it’s inconvenient?

    John Bolton had a front row seat into Trump’s foreign policy and is a good source of information. Are you saying Bolton is a liar?

    Weird. Basso used to think Bolton was "brilliant". But for some reason now he doesn't think Bolton's assessment of Trump is valid. Why could that be?

    Yes Obama wasn't as strong against Russia as he could have and should have been. He was nowhere near as weak as Trump.

    Trump basically reversed Reagan's whole philosophy regarding Europe and Russia/Soviet Union for the Republican party. Pretty amazing the Pro-Putin shift Trump instigated.

    I don't know who you are talking to, but if they still defend Trump after all that you are probably wasting your time.

    Oh, my mistake. That's who I was thinking of. Too many who speak out after they ignored the stuff he did then, but would still vote for him after calling him out.

    An ultimate take-down. @basso hates that search exists. I'm sure he's constructed a strange alternate reality where he's been cinsistant all along.

    Nope, Putin is evil. He has stolen from the Russian people all the way back to when he was an assistant to the Mayor of a small Russian city.

    He has stolen hundreds of billions of dollars from his own people to fill his pockets and the pockets of his cronies.
    He turned a democracy into a dictatorship. He erased human rights from his own people…. Has assassinated his enemies and removed his people from the international scene.

    He is the worlds biggest monster and nothing more or less.
