Assuming the very real likelihood of Trump being officially
diagnosed with Parkinson's there is no way he should be
allowed by the GOP to run as a POTUS candidate next year.
The Republicans need to find a younger, more intelligent, and
more articulate candidate—and one who is in good health.
Do we really need the trembling hand of another unhealthy
old man, with Parkinson's, hovering over the red button?
I sincerely think not.
Now now, Geoff, Mr Trump never used the N word. Never ever.
Okay, he may have mentioned it once, but he thinks he got away with it.
It was only Tucker. Besides, he meant Ukraine, not Russia. Nobody's been tougher on Russia than the big fella, believe me.
He'll have Ukraine sorted in his first 24 hours as prez, you'll see.
firstly, russia never invaded til biden got in, so dont blame trump.
secondly 12/12 ago , ukraine were willing to negotiate with vlad and probably would have given away a bit of land in the east , but the leftie intellectuals in the USA told zalensky "no aid unless you continue to fight" trump would have encouraged a deal, saving millions of lives.
thirdly, biden is beholden to the military industrial complex and has poured 350 billion into ukraine (a lot of which has been grifted by an incredibly corrupt ukraine) fi you want evidnece for that, the uber left washington post did an article in 2016 on how the ukraine was possibly more corrupt then russia.
fourthly . ukraine has sacrificied all its young men and is currently using "press gangs " to find men to send to the meat grinder.
fifthly russia will win beacuse ukraine is 1/10 its size and now has virtually no electricity , even if it wanted to ramp up arms production .
all in all, the leftie intellectuals have cost the ukrainian people their country.
trump would have gone to kiev, negotiated to give the donbas to russia (they are going to get it anyway) and then had a round of golf with vlad and rocket boy and kept world peace.
the leftie intellectuals may trigger a nuclear war (this is certainly possible) and either way ukraine would have been way way way way better off to negotiate with russia 12/12 ago then see their country destroyed and lose anyway.
why are the left so stupid (or is that naive to not understand this war is being fought for the benefit of raytheon)
Now let's see. We'll go through your points one by one, shall we?
1. Russia invaded Ukraine, a peaceful neighbour.
2. Ukraine committed to defending their territory. Macron tried to mediate a deal. Zalensky said no deal until Russia removes all troops from Ukraine. Russia responded with attacks on apartment blocks, hospitals and power stations.
3. Biden offered military aid to Ukraine. He was joined by NATO, the UK, Germany, France, Poland and even jolly old Oz. Nearly
every country in the world supports Ukraine. China and India are on the fence. The outliers are few: the leaders of countries like Hungary and Georgia are not supported by their populations on this issue.
4. Ukrainians are
volunteering to enlist. Polls show overwhelming support for repelling Russia from Ukraine. It's now nearly 100%. Ukraine has few pro-Russians left.
5. Russia can't possibly win. This is the view of every report commissioned by the EU, the IMF and NATO. The current Russian strategy is to defend its seized (and emptied) Ukrainian territory in the vain hope of a Trump victory in 2025.
Yes, Putin has his hopes set on a US withdrawal from NATO and a weakened Western alliance. This is why Putin aided Trump's 2016 campaign. Leaked Russian cabinet reports described Trump as weak and mentally unstable. These reports proved remarkably accurate: Trump weakened the Western alliance to the extent that Putin believed there would be no Western reaction to a Ukrainian invasion.
Biden's response, by contrast, was pivotal. Biden united the West in defence of Ukraine. That's the difference between the two: Biden acts in defence of national sovereignty and a peaceful, rules-based international order.
Your Dear Leader acts to strengthen a kleptocratic tyranny that conducts cyber attacks on the US government and interferes in US elections. That's a stark choice for the American voters, should it come down to that.
Your five points prove what we've seen over the past decade. Your judgement nearly always proves to be the
opposite of the facts presented. That's a weighty track record, dear, and one we can consistently rely upon.
Good work.
