Soon as you recognize the reality that he quickly rescinded his own memo IF it ever really existed, was never official policy, and the original plan remained in force. Time to get back on topic?

No, it's a matter of time before Ukraine is swamped by production in Russia, China, N. Korea, and Iran. Support for Ukraine is flagging in the west. Note the Bundestag just the other day refused to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Ukraine has no economic value to the West. It's all political theatre. The Cold War was over, old Soviet Union gone. Putin was pretty much staying in his lane. No point in expanding NATO to Ukraine as Biden went and blathered about. In fact the need for NATO in the modern world order is questionable. Or it WAS, until this screwup.

Oh, you're always imagining Trump is lying, when it's mostly you lying about Trump and Biden. Get over it. Trump ordered a withdrawal, but not a total withdrawal. The plan was to maintain enough presence, that could be quickly expanded, to persuade the Taliban to fulfil the agreement totally if they didn't. That said, Trump strongly wanted out of that war, no doubt about that.

Yah yah. If they could, they already would have, notably in the failed counteroffensive. Plenty of time to get them to Ukraine. Russia has more than basic weapons, and basic nukes as well, which work well on that basic level. LOL. They've actually been quite restrained. Could have destroyed all of Kiev's infrastructure, and more, if they'd chosen to.

Reality is you have no reality, or real information, just opinions and convenient speculations. Kinzinger's an idiot politician. Note how the Deep State thwarted Trump's orders. If he gets back in, he needs to clean house.

Which they didn't. Which makes your post nonsense.

Yeah, why the libtards think Ukraine's still going to win is--wait for it--political theater for their donors standing to profit. Or merely warmongering, got some of those as well.

That was a hoped-for quick way to cause a surrender. It didn't work out. Then they went for taking control of as much of Ukraine as possible and probably annexing four specific regions (Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson) to Russia. It became a war of attrition they figure they'll win. The terms for peace will probably include their demands from the beginning that Biden and the other idiots should have agreed to: a ban on Ukraine entering Nato and a limit to the deployment of troops and weapons to Nato’s eastern flank.

No. Fact is, Ukraine war is losing popular support. Now the libtards want to support Hamas. 🙂 No, just a fantasy. Ukraine will be bled dry. Russia's doing pretty good. You've been listening to the bimbos again. Now, since early peace wasn't negotitiated, they got N. Korea, China, and Iran helping out, with new trade relations. Economy's growing.

No one, at the moment. It's advancing in the Senate. No. In fact, he delayed it. Would have, as Trump's a businessman, not a doddering old politician surrounded by incompetents, used to getting things done in an efficient and cost-effective manner, without Biden's abrupt chaos. He's very conscious about Our Stuff, and so would have arranged to withdraw a lot of equipment that the gov't obviously couldn't use. And he'd have prevented the tragic deaths of the Marines.

Yeah, these old Walter Mittys, Brits mainly, quaff a few Changs in their rented rooms while watching a game of footy, maybe toke some good weed, and then belly up to their keyboards to transform themselves into expert geopolitical strategists.

Wrong. Conquering Kiev was never part of his objective. Nothing to do with Biden and especially nothing to do with NATO. Advancing again as Ukraine is running out of manpower, so even if more weapons are thrown at Ukraine, they can't really use them. Their much touted (in the leftist, warmongering press) spring offensive inevitably failed. Soon as I heard all the hype, I knew it would. Russia is just a larger, more powerful country. It was only a matter of time before Ukraine started giving way. Should have negotiated at the very beginning. Various reasons why that didn't happen I won't go into.

Do you have any information or cogent arguments, or are you just blathering slurs while having a w*nk?

The GOP didn't oppose helping Ukraine and in fact wanted a lot MORE help from the very start. Biggest warmongers in Congress are members of the GOP. You don't have a clue what you're talking about, just making it up as you go along, troll. Not at all, and Trump will negotiate a peace deal over Ukraine as well. Most Americans supported the Taliban deal and will also support the Ukraine deal. But it was a conditional agreement. Biden didn't have to withdraw at all; he could have escalated if he'd so chosen. Had Trump been in power at withdrawal time, it would have gone relatively well, instead of the botch job it turned out to be. Good thing about Trump is that he isn't a warmonger. He wanted the USA out of Afghanistan, soon, and rightly so.

True. And let's not forget the Libya debacle. Hillary's baby!

I suspect he knows the longer Biden keeps it up, wasting more resources (now running out of ammo), the more territory he can keep in the end, the better terms he'll get, and the weaker the USA will be. Biden is a weak negotiator as well, let Iran run all over him, screwed up Afghanistan, cut and ran. He knows he'll win, as did anyone with much sense. Things were stable until Biden, with his love of Ukraine (cue Hunter) went over and blabbered about Ukraine joining NATO. SO stupid. And Biden could have headed off the whole thing by requiring Ukraine to make some concessions. Russia did have some complaints--that Russia obviously took seriously.

Coherent isn't a word applicable to Biden. Putin prefers Biden, just as he said. Nothing much more they'll do to "stand up" to Russia. Can't, no money and popular support's running out for throwing money down that rathole mostly to help The Party. Worked great before Biden got in to screw up everything.

Not trolling but exactly right. Yes, one of you obviously does have something wrong upstairs. Charitably, a lack of common sense.

So much nonsense. Try to think for yourself. You've been led like the usual ninny into the Demtards' Russia Collusion Reboot. What else have they got, can't run on their record of failure. The ‘Russia Collusion’ Reboot Is Going To Be Terrible Besides, he'd much prefer a weak senile Biden figuratively at the helm. Why wouldn't he? He ain't stupid. He says so: “We are ready to work with any president. But I believe that for us, Biden is a more preferable president for Russia, and judging by what he has just said, I am absolutely right,” Putin told state television, with a slight smile on his face. “This means that I was right,” he continued. “What I said was for our audience first and foremost not for Americans. You are a Russian journalist after all. And you asked what was better for us. So, I told you then and I can confirm and repeat it now: Biden.” The Russian leader previously voiced Biden as his choice of the two candidates as he is “more predictable” than President Trump. --Putin: ‘I Was Absolutely Right’ About Biden

When it's time, it's time. Now you might go to Jib, Advice, PowerBuy, or wherever and get a demo before you buy. Middle of the road has changed a lot in the last 15 years, to say the least.

Oh, it's much more than that. You just now ignored, for example, the national debt I mentioned, typical of selective perception. With that, we got inflation and wrong-headed, absurdly wasteful spending priorities. We could go on to talk about homelessness, crime, the hollowing out and destruction of once-great cities, politics of division, censorship, attempt at media control, dual standards, subversion of the justice system, further expansion of the welfare state, and . . . . You get the idea. Also fair enough, and critically important. Posters on Trump topics here haven't the slightest interest in the reasons Trump supporters (or just tolerators, actually), think Trump might be somewhat good, amid all the noise, for correcting many of the problems Biden and his leftists have foisted on the USA. The hope would be to return more to the previous 4 years (marred at the end by COVID) of low inflation, energy independence (Biden selling off the Strategic Petroleum Reserve--brilliant!), NATO allies coughing up more of their share, peaceful international relations (except for Afghanistan--Trump's plan for withdrawal thwarted by the war lobby, only to be botched by Biden), Iran in its corner after Obama foolishly threw money at them, etc. I imagine it'll be hard for Trump to do much without inflicting pain. Reagan, or now the Argentine president Javier Milei, had the courage, but they also had a large base of support and no vast disinformation campaign w/ cooperation of the media, big tech, and corporate interests. The Dems are also leaving poison pills to stop him . . . . Tried to do that w/ the immigration portion of the recent spending bill that failed. With no interest in those reasons, and, indeed, an inability to discuss them anyway without soiling their diapers while parroting the opinion-setting apparatchiks on The View or MSNBC, posters on a Trump topic merely enjoy the same old bashfest with a lot of name-calling, preening themselves on being informed and highly intelligent while leftists undermine them for a Hunger Games-style society. Kind of like middle class supporters of the Bolsheviks later murdered by the Bolsheviks.

Actually it's just receiving service for payments. The exact amount of payment, in total, including full tuition for her daughter, won't be revealed.

Or 10,000 less, if you don't need more and couldn't really tell the difference anyway? Or 55,000 baht more to get an I9, 48 Gb RAM, Nvidia 3070 graphics, and backlit keyboard? Really depends on how it's used. For surfing porn, watching youtube & Netflix, checking email, checking the BBC, posting on the forum, like most posters--it's overkill. Even for playing script kiddie with your VPN. Ross Ulbricht, aka “Dread Pirate Roberts,” ran Silk Road from his Samsung 700z laptop, 4 Gb RAM, HDD, and a server in Iceland, and amassed 50,676 Bitcoin (worth nearly $3.4 billion in 2021) for himself. Hardware intensive applications--editing videos w/ Premier Pro, playing some recent games with high fps, rendering animations, compiling large programs, etc--will require more. I, like a few others here, find it satisfying to keep an old box running that meets all my needs. 🙂

Not a good idea. Ask Google Translate to translate its translation back into English. 🙂 It doesn't really compare with a skilled human translator. Maneerat on Soi Post Office had a translator working in the back, nice guy, got his translation certified by MFA. I dunno about his tech skills, however. https://www.facebook.com/maneerat.fon.0818630320/?paipv=0&eav=AfaI45RRLJiysfULFKGLsbk7l5nyIm3nfOPqxmNNQf-PBp5HfISwhYQofJr1qmn0TIU&_rdr=

You got the name-calling down right, man. Proof of higher education and intelligence. Count those wins. 🙂
