We aren't even talking about Trump but you can't keep his name out of your mouth. It is a segue. Are we the only ally to Ukraine? No, there are countries all around them but the Biden admin decided to dump money and military into them. The Biden admin is nothing but crook and they aren't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts or for Ukraine to be our ******* buddy on the world stage you clown. They made a deal for something, some kind of profit. A profit that doesn't benefit United States citizens. Especially the half of us that are "garbage".

"nothing but crook" sounds like a Russian accent.

A segue is one thing leading into another. Talking about Trump doing the same thing as Biden but being judged differently is a lateral tangent.

And again, your whole "buddy" tactic shows how little of a mind you are thinking with.
This isn't the ******* third grade where you pick your friends on the playground so that you can fight the bully.
This is worldwide politics, and it's been in play for far longer than any of us on this form have been alive.

Once again, if you think you can do it so much better, then share your plan here for exactly how it should be done.
And don't give me this bullshit of "vote in a better president ". That's just childish nonsense and it's not your plan.

So again I'll ask: what is your plan to "take care of America first", and why do you think communism should be allowed to keep taking over other countries in the world that are not already communist?"

All the reasons Rob is dodging. Because we are such humanitarians.

"Dodging"? You can't answer a single ******* question that's asked of you, other than to make some childish comment about being "buddies" with another country, or about how you could do things so so much better than they've been done for the past 200+ years.

So how about you stop dodging, and answer the questions?
What is your plan to take care of America first?

And feel free to point out where, in any of my posts, I said that we were doing this out of the "goodness of our hearts ".
I'm really interested in seeing that

Sometimes when I type I press too lightly on the keys... this does not make me Russian. <--- meant to be red in a Russian accent.

You are the one claiming I think I could do better and are demanding that I tell you how I would do it better. You're a weird guy Rob.

My answer. I would focus on America and American citizens and all that is involved with doing so. Better from within. Rebuild the foundation of America. Without a strong foundation, the house will fall. The Biden administration has been tearing down walls for almost four years. It's time to start rebuilding.

I am tired. I am going to bed.

Let's be honest, everything is being done for the corporatocracy first. The question is what is the benefit to us? Does it benefit us to let Commie Russia take Ukraine? We've already seen they'll leverage access to natural resources against the west and so that they can invade their neighbor. Do we want Russia in charge of one of the biggest Lithium deposits, one of the largest natural gas reserves and significant Uranium deposits. Donbus is known for it's coal & gold deposits.

Additionally, most folks seem to have forgotten about the Budapest Memorandum in which Ukraine gave up it's nuclear stockpile for security assurances. Seems like an agreement worth maintaining to me.

Clearly this isn't being done out of the goodness of hearts. "What's in it for us" is how we determine where will or will not meddle. General rule of thumb, if there isn't something in it for us, we don't get involved. So now that we know we have self/corporate interest in Ukraine and that Ukraine gave up nukes in exchange for security assurances, the question is simply is this worth it? It seems a lot people in both parties are ready to dissolve our alliances. I'm not sure if they understand how intertwined our strategic interests and economic interests are.

Let's offer statehood to Ukraine. It could be our 51st state. I mean, if we are sending them our money, we might as well get something out of it.

AN ALLY ON THE WORLD STAGE, AND PREVENTION OF COMMUNISM GAINING A LARGER FOOTPRINT.

Communism isn't exactly gaining a foothold outside of in policy from the left...and Ukraine has zero strategic value as an ally...

That was a stupid deal to get into...Ukraine should've kept their nukes then we wouldn't be here...

OK, so you read a meme that claims this.
Now, tell us the policy instituted "from the left" that is Communist in nature.

Be specific. Name actual policy. Avoid posting memes or repeating the same empty complaints you've heard someone else make.

Remember that time Trump was going to get investigated for withholding aid in an effort to coerce Kiev into investigating Biden, but then the funds were suddenly released?
Probably just another of those crazy Trump coincidences...

How sad is your real world that you believe that you got the pull to tell anyone what to do online...for real buddy...get help

Bitcoin is the crypto I have the least of on this coinbase website. Thought I would try it out to see how trading and purchasing go. Coinbase isn't bad.
