Firstly Trump fired any Justice Department prosecutors who participated in investigations against him. Removed security clearances of intelligence people who have criticised him. Signed an Executive Order removing security clearances and banning from federal buildings any lawyer who assisted in impeachment investigations against him Signed an Executive Order requiring any plaintiff wishing to challenge the legality of Trump's actions in Court to provide, up front, a bond covering the totality of Government legal costs, to be forfeited if the case fails. The above are clearly designed to oppress any opposition using the Courts to restrain him. It should ne noted Putin used similar techniques to gradually suppress opposition in Russia. Does this trend not cause concern for the American voting public, let alone handing all the "cards" to Russia in their war against Ukraine, tariffs for tax collect and so on?

Trump is a traitor to Democratic forces stopping access to essential services for Ukraine. The result being more Ukrainian deaths at the hands of the invader. Ukrainian access to U.S. government-purchased commercial satellite imagery, which includes Maxar, was suspended, a National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) spokesperson told ABC News. The development came after the U.S. paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine. https://abcnews.go.com/International/russia-conducts-massive-aerial-attack-ukraine-overnight/story?id=119543077

Thai culture frowns upon asking direct question of your superiors, both socially and in business. The Thai cultural term is Kreng Jai.

i assume anyone on a presidential protection role would be highly trained no matter their gender / look. Going on about "woke" is extremely BORING. However, Americans have a rather odd interpretation of "hero"

Surrounded by highly trained Secret Service bodyguards

There was a prior treaty of friendship signed in1997 between Russia and Ukraine which was broken by the Russian insurgency war commencing 2014. Russia was heavily involved with the killings in Donbas region and of course annexing Crimea. In other words Russia has been busy upsetting the apple cart in Ukraine for a number of years. As I understand Russia had no true intent to "make peace', but to force compliance to their terms for a considerable period of time prior to the outbreak of open warfare. You may recall the West has thought Russia would conquer Ukraine with the capture of Kyiv within a week, but Russia totally screwed up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian–Ukrainian_Friendship_Treaty#:~:text=The Treaty on Friendship%2C Cooperation,existing borders%2C and respect for

Reasonably so. I would guess he would have loved to punch out the two of them

Why not keep up intelligence sharing in an effort to reduce the deaths of a fellow Western Democratic nation rather than handing another advantage to the enemy whilst bullying an European state suffering invasion. Trump / Putin have yet to include Ukraine in peace negotiations so why think conclusion of the conflict is near when trump is handing over all the advantages to Russia at zero cost; it really does come across as extortion / appeasement which to date Zelensky has rejected.

Trump has now cut off intelligence for the Ukraine, an excellent method to increase Ukrainian death and injury. trump has sunk to the low depths of betrayal of Western Democratic and Rule of Law interests. As each day passes trump demonstrates he is unfit to Represent the Office of the President of the USA. One wonders if the Supreme Court now regrets absolving him from prosecution for any decisions whilst in power. Will anyone in the current US power structure stand up for decency and support against tyranny.?

Only you know where for get $967 billion US contribution to NATO which is an outrageous claim as: Nato's annual budget and programmes come to about €3.8bn (£3.2bn or $4.1bn) overall, and there's an agreed cost-sharing formula to pay for the running of things such as: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44717074 The Marshall Plan was repaid over and over again by the proceeds of Peace i.e. trade which trump is ignorantly trying to interfere. Perhaps as an American you may wish to give some thought to the unnecessary death and destruction created by US forces since the Korean War and the many mistakes made by associated policy decisions, including by trump.

To repeat their has been numerous reports / quotes from Putin establishing his vision for rebuilding the Russian Empire. A few more links ... https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-belarus-strategy-document-230035184.html https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/putin-ukraine-russia-tsar-peter-great-imperialism-rcna32909 I usually do not accuse someone of being an apologist for Putin, but in your case I will make an exception with your hair splitting and attempts at denial for authoritarians. I will not bother to respond to anymore of your trolling activity in this topic.

Yeah Putin was so clever his military planning for the invasion was picked up by spy satellites and Ukraine warned. Thought you would response with nonsense. The quotes provided were from Putin's speeches or are you doing the usual MAGA reaction, fake news blah, blah

Snipped for brevity. At the time Obama was dealing with the major threat to stability; ISIS. I believe it is generally considered Obama made mistakes in response to Russian insurgency in Donbas and Crimea take over. Obama's response to criticism: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4063939-obama-defends-2014-crimea-response-in-cnn-interview/

I guess your saying only a minor difference in power / influence....LOL

The conflict in Ukraine was underway during trump's first Administration, I recall approx 10,000 killed from 2014 in the Donbas region until the invasion.

It has been reported numerous times with quotes from Putin's speeches... Over the past year, Vladimir Putin has compared himself to empire-building eighteenth century Russian Czar Peter the Great, and has attempted to annex entire regions of Ukraine while declaring that he is “returning historically Russian lands.” https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/putins-plan-for-a-new-russian-empire-includes-both-ukraine-and-belarus/ Speaking after visiting an exhibition to celebrate the 350th anniversary of Peter's birth on Thursday, Putin drew a parallel to his invasion of Ukraine. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/putin-ukraine-russia-tsar-peter-great-imperialism-rcna32909

No Truman VP took over when Roosevelt dies. There was not an UK election during the European war in WW11. The Japanese did not pose a threat to the homeland

After the European war ended when there was no longer a threat to the UK homeland

Comparing posters on this forum to Trump - says a lot! - LOL

Exactly

They? who led the conspiracy...trump's only in it for himself - gagging for the Nobel Prize - lol

OK Mr Defence expert

I know and adding Ukraine will only expose him further, that is the point I was making

Trump has repeatedly lied about the US prior level of support for the Ukraine, insulted Zelensky as well as demanding access to Ukrainian mineral rights to the value of US$500 billion in breach of prior supply agreement and without any security guarantees. Trump has repeatedly unilaterally broken prior agreements e.g. Canada and Mexico trade agreement, so in reality what worth is Trump's word.?

If Putin were to win the war in Ukraine it will only bring his borders closer to NATO countries Putin has very clearly stated he wishes to re-establish the Russian Empire so his propaganda for the war are lies upon lies.
