Will everyone please stop with the BS about which president is responsible for Putin's invasion?
The answer is neither. Putin doesn't sit around thinking about our president all day.
This is happening because of what has been building in Ukraine for many years. But the straw that broke the camel's back was the crackdown on Medvedchuk and his pro-Russia party.
The people of Ukraine want to be a real democracy with closer ties to Western Europe. Putin does not want to see that happen. That's why they are at war. The timing of the invasion has nothing to do with who happens to be our president.
Sure, but if Trump were in Office, you'd so quickly blame him. Now it's neither's fault, eh? But Trump doesn't get credit for this or that 2 years in, Obama get the credit. You sir are the most honorable Democrat on this thread, by far.
My response isn't to you directly Fat Hurts, it's all of the other Democrats who are on here every time I check in and will bow to Biden who did what, F'ed up the economy, but wait...that part is Trump's fault. I come on here to see if the same characters are wasting their lives on here and I'm never disappointed.
Trumpist 'conservative' saying the quiet part out loud. That 'conservatives' feel more at home with Putin's militaristic 'Christian' white authoritarian non-democratic culture than they do with Joe Biden's democracy.
I suspect many, if not most, evangelical Trumpists feel the same way. They are more comfortable with Putin than with Biden. Which is where we are going in 2025.
"Lauren Witzke, the Delaware GOP's candidate for Senate in 2020, has nothing but praise for Putin and "his Christian nationalist nation": "I identify more with Putin's Christian values than I do with Joe Biden.""
You are such a lying loser I hope your boyfriend makes you sleep in the basement. Liberals pander to minorities, like you. That's why, so you can get your free stuff. Loser.
More pro- Putin Trumpists. This is who they are and they will run the country in just theee years.
Steve Bannon today: “Ukraine’s not even a country. It’s kind of a concept. It’s not even a country .. It’s just a corrupt area that the Clinton’s turned into a colony where they can steal money out of.”
Joe Biden doesn't care about our gas prices...He's a global warming zealot...
Yo, deplorable. That article is more than a year old, in Bide's first week in office. Catch up. Don't be as stupid as the GOP thinks you are. They do love the uneducated, as Trump says. For a reason - they like their voters uninformed and stupid.
The Biden administration has approved more oil and gas drilling permits on public lands per month than the Trump administration did during the first three years of Donald Trump's presidency, according to an analysis shared exclusively with The Climate 202. The report by Public Citizen, a liberal advocacy group, illustrates that President Biden has been slow to reverse Trump's fossil-fuel-friendly agenda, despite his campaign promise to push for “no more drilling on federal lands" because of climate change.

this is one problem with the upvote/downvote system. What does 5 downvotes mean? Are people saying 'down with Republicans for praising Putin?' or are they saying 'bad post - we don't want to know about what the Republicans say' or 'I just don't like that agip chap?' or downvotes for saying that it will be bad when Bannon's ilk runs the country again?'
I mean it's just a factual post with a quote from a republican leader who used to work in the White House, paired with a guess that the repubs will win in 2022 and 2024.

I dunno. use your words, LRC.
They are saying you are an idiot. Only the other halfwit Flagpole rivals your nonsense posts.

The up/down voting is lame. I couldn't care less about it one way or the other. MOST of the time, my opinion is shared by the majority. Sometimes it isn't. The only correct opinion in either case is mine, so I don't care if others have it right or not.
To your specific question though, I believe the down votes there were down voting Bannon's statement.

If Trump was in office and he strengthened NATO, levied sanctions, and denounced Putin in the strongest terms then I would praise those actions.
But there is no way Trump would have done any of that. His recent statements about Putin prove it.
So while I repeat that this invasion is not the fault of any US president, our reaction to Putin is extremely important. And again, I thank God we have Biden right now.

The up or down votes are generally whether they support the post that they are voting on. So the voters did not agree with agip's post or opinion.

Right. And not that Bannon is parroting exactly what Putin has been saying in his speeches. Putin has been amping up the rhetoric declaring that Ukraine is not a country.

This is very disturbing. The wild card in all of this is China. While China is ideologically closer to Russia than to the US and Europe, I was hoping that our close economic ties might at least keep China neutral.
The following report seems to suggest that behind the scenes China has already picked a side and it's Russia.
As Russian missiles flew through the Ukrainian sky Thursday and world leaders decried an invasion spreading across the country, China refused to condemn Russia's move outright, while appearing to levy blame on the United Stat...

what's to disagree with? Bannon said that. It's a direct quote.
Or they don't like the idea that the Republicans will again run the country in 2025?
Flagpole's right I suppose - the whole thing is pretty stupid. In politics threads people will just vote blue or red without thinking about it much. Disappointing!

it's probably just a way for China to pick a path through a minefield without truly choosing a side. They can't ever really support Western foreign policy...' but on the other hand they can't really oppose the West either because their livelihood is selling stuff to the West. So they'll say mild rebukes like this but not actively do anything to choose a side.
Votes in the security council might be interesting though.
