Ok, now we're talking. Literally.

Macron set up a summit between Biden and Putin.

That, gents, is how all this is supposed to work.

Sure would be great if Macron can step into Merkel's old shoes and become the capo of Europa.

If this works and there is no invasion, all this talk the Biden admin has done will be held up as a huge success. Meaning when the WH has revealed its information on what Russia intends to do.

Stock market likes the news.

European militaries could send a million troops to Ukraine as a deterrent to Russia. But they don’t. Because they don’t care enough. So, if Europe doesn’t care enough to defend its own back yard, America shouldn’t either.

If Russia invades Ukraine, it’s a consequence of Europe’s failures.
For decades, European leaders failed to strengthen their militaries despite prodding by numerous American presidents & NATO Commanders.
Europe is weak. By choice. And now they get to live with it. Not us. We need to stay out and focus on our own border.

is there no limit to your political naivete?

There never was going to be any invasion. Brinksmanship and fear porn for political gain is no success. Brandon painted himself into a corner and needed France's boy president to bail him out.

I know you'll Russia-hate your way out of believing it, but if you review what the Ukrainians themselves have said, they didn't believe any invasion was pending either.

One thing is obvious: You and all Democrats still think global warmongering is an acceptable way to pursue your domestic political objectives. That is absolutely despicable. Shameless.

No one knows if there will be an invasion, or if an invasion had been planned or any other tense formulation you want to toss on it.

Certainly it looks like Belarus has been invaded and occupied by 30,000 Russian troops, after the Russians promised and promised and promised they would leave when the 'exercises' are done. You probably believed that one too.

And even after Belarus, you take Russia's word over that of the US. And after Russia recently invaded Ukraine (Crimea) and Georgia and flattened Chechnya and many Syrian villages and city centers. Still, you believe the Russians.

or were those wars Democrats' fault? Just more Russia-hate?

100% this will end Trump's future with the GOP.

This sort of thing decided the entire 2016 election so Republicans will be consistent and reject the person who puts America's secrets at risk out of laziness OR WORSE.

amirite? gary? Sally? Joe? Are we agreed on this basic matter?

WASHINGTON — The National Archives confirmed on Friday that it had found classified information among documents that President Donald J. Trump had taken with him to his home in Florida from the White House and that it had consulted with the Justice Department about the matter.
The agency “has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes,” according to a letter posted on the National Archives and Record Administration website that was sent to Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, Democrat of New York and the chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, who has been scrutinizing how Mr. Trump handled presidential records.
“Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice,” said the letter, written by David S. Ferriero, the national archivist.

Harris is right and you are wrong.

The question is not whether sanctions are effective. It's a question of what kind of sanctions will be effective enough to do the job without causing too much pain for the west. That's a tough call.

It's true that Putin has decided to invade. It's also true that he could change his mind. But without sanctions there will be much less deterrent to the invasion. There would be no reason to change his mind.

Harris said the sanctions are some of the strongest sanctions if not the strongest that the country has ever implemented. Can you tell me what exactly ARE the sanctions we have imposed?

I am sure that if Russia ultimately invades Ukraine, Biden, Harris and the media will be blaming Trump. Every time they F up (and they F up quite often) they resort to blaming Trump. Again, and again and again ...

We imposed sanctions after the annexation of Crimea. Those sanctions are still in place. But Harris was probably referencing the new sanctions that will be imposed if Putin invades. I don't know if the details have been made public. But if it happens, they will primarily blame Putin.

Now I've answered your questions. You should answer mine.

Do you believe that Trump should go to prison for mishandling/stealing classified material?

Should Hillary to to prison for mishandling/stealing classified material?

If it's Biden versus Trump, who will you vote for?
