    No.... I've made many posts on here regarding the topic. I've had to educate you why the Baltic states are important against Russia and you merely stopped debating once it became clear you were incorrect... aka took your toys home.

    Ukraine is a major exporter of food and is a energy transit hub. And the knock on effect is because Russia is a major commodity exporter they were able to blackmail the globe through food and energy.

    You don't see the reasoning in getting involved in a conflict that impacted global energy and food supplies? Pretty sure lots of wars have been fought over resources.....

    How utterly embarrassing it is to be trump. He claims Putin agreed to something only for Putin to do the opposite within an hour. What a complete and utter embarrassment. His braindead supporters @Tomstro claim Trump is feared and respected

    LOL

    Just curious, what would you have him do? There’s more movement than at any point before on negotiations to end the war.

    I’m certain American tax payers are tired of funding this war. Our own country is going bankrupt. It’s very unfortunate the position the Ukraine is in, but no matter the outcome Ukraine loses.

    Why would you do this unless you are Putin's little b*tch? Putin plays Trump like a fiddle. Mr. Tough on Crime unless it's Putin, himself or MAGA folks committing the crimes. Then it's just a witch hunt or fake news. LOL. You can try to hide all the truth, but we know what you are doing you lying psycho.

    Trump terminates program tracking mass abductions of Ukrainian children
    Observers fear the move has compromised evidence of war crimes by Russian officials and will hinder efforts to rescue thousands of missing Ukrainian children.


    The Trump administration has terminated a U.S.-funded initiative that documents alleged Russian war crimes, including a sensitive database detailing the mass deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia, according to U.S. officials familiar with the directive and documents obtained by The Washington Post.


    The move has barred the transmission of evidence to prosecutors pursuing multiple criminal cases, including the International Criminal Court’s landmark indictment of Russian President Vladimir Putin for what it has called the “unlawful transfer” of children from occupied areas of Ukraine, U.S. officials said.

    If our country is going, "bankrupt" why did Republicans in the house just approve 4 trillion dollars in tax cuts which will make the debt crisis worse?

    This is what I love from MAGA voters. They always claim how bankrupt we are but their cult leader isn't trying to balance the budget? They're spending trillions to give tax cuts to billionaires

    You are entirely incapable of explaining why the Baltic states are vital American geostrategic interests.

    They are not.

    Incorrect about what? You cannot even coherently articulate a thought.

    I don’t disagree with you that we’re still spending too much money. I also agree that bill should have been smaller. It remains to be seen if any of the money will be returned. While it’s been approved, it hasn’t all been spent.

    With regards to taxation, we’re over taxed as a country. Taxes should be cut. For everyone. What I do know is I’ve never been employed by a poor person. Increased Consumer spending, business investment and expansion, Stock market growth, will all follow tax cuts.

    Nope. This myth has been disproven time after time. Study after study has shown trickle down economics does nothing for the middle claas. Yale Princeton Harvard all have in depth studies that prove this point. ( https://dailymontanan.com/2023/02/12/when-will-we-learn-that-trickle-down-economics-doesnt-work/#:~:text=This needs to be said,our society to the wealthiest. )

    Taxes are lower today than they've been at any point in modern history. This idea we need give billionaires more tax cuts and they'll somehow pass those savings onto others is bullshit.

    The wealthiest time in American history were the 1950s when the marginal tax rate was almost 70%. Income inequality was at the lowest and the middle class was thriving.

    But I'm confused? We were told by his braindead low iq cultists @Tomstro @HTM @Space Ghost that Putin feared Trump and only Trump could negotiate a peace deal?

    It will never not be hilarious how braindead his supporters are

    I’m bored so I will continue to entertain myself.

    Only it’s not a myth. You had the lowest rate of unemployment ever in his first term. The economy was the strongest I had seen in my lifetime. I don’t need a Harvard or Yale study to disprove how much extra money I had in my wallet under Trump as compared to Biden’s economy. The cost of living was considerably higher under one when compared to the other.

    I had a bunch of money too. Not because the economy was doing good, but because the government gave me a crap load of money.

    The lowest unemployment rate happened under biden when unemployment was at 3.4%. Trump took over a economy in his first term that had produced 60+ months of job gains. Yes cost of living went up under biden as it did on every developed nation in the world due to covid supply chains. Now Trump is destroying the economy and raising prices on every day Americans bcz of his dumbass tariffs.

    The entire world saw inflation under biden but now America is the only nation that's seeing prices go up bcz of Trumps policies. Your propaganda and disinformation doesn't work here
