Nice try twisting crap to fit your line but better luck next time. You stated the principle well before you crapped the bed in the Zimmerman discussion Quote

mtutiger Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 3 hours ago, gehringer_2 said: correct data, but that isn't the spin I would give it. It's standard Russian operation procedure to try to beat a civilian population into submission when the probability of winning on the battlefield starts to waver. And Putin is more than glad to go that route because we have to remember that he draws his understanding of state morality in a straight line from Genghis Khan. All decisions have complex antecedents, but I would guess this fact figures higher in Putin's decisions right now that whatever he is thinking about the US. It can also be read as sign of relative desperation because the last thing his generals want is to give the West a real world look at his best/most secret capabilities. No shit. The Russian way of war existed long before Biden was even born, let alone became President. Quote

Why do you keep saying that Biden is weak with respect to foreign policy? Do you have something to back it up or is it just a MAGA talking point? Quote

CMRivdogs Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Somebody's short memory forgets Trump at Helsinki when he walked out with Putin looking a lot like an abused spouse. When Trump was around Putin he rolled on his back like a puppy looking for belly rubs and got his ass kicked. Trump would have remained neutral on Ukraine until he got a few favors, and then would have undermined NATO. At the very least he'd be doing what we're seeing from Isreal.

It's a general statement, not meant to be backed by evidence, that encapsulates how difficult it is to hit Biden on this when what the administration is doing (ie. Supplying weapons to Ukraine while staying out of the war) is where 80+% of the population is on this question. That's the frustrating thing to me... I will say that criticisms about, say, not providing MiGs seem fair to me. Even if one disagrees or thinks that it risks a wider conflict. Just saying "Biden is weak because, of course, Biden is weak" is... a pretty weak argument. Edited March 20, 2022 by mtutiger Quote

romad1 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Gott in himmell. If you watched the Helsinki press conference, Impeachment 1 and Trump's "Peacekeeper" comments and think Trump would have played this better. You are beyond saving. 1 Quote
mtutiger Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Nothing says "liberation" like veiled threats of military tribunals for anyone who doesn't evacuate Quote
Tiger337 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 I also think that MAGAs believe that Trump would have threatened Putin with nukes and Putin would have backed down like a scared puppy as if this is some kind of TV show. Trump would not have courage to seriously confront him like that and Putin isn't scared of him anyway. Probably, the reverse is true. Quote
