Biden is a DISASTER is this the best America can do? seriously??? Unfortunately, there are too many people who do not comprehend if Ukraine falls, it's the end of national sovereignty and a rules-based order. Putin will not stop there, he wants to go all the way back to the Cold War borders. He has repeatedly said so. Trump has long admired Putin, and wants the same powers. Be careful what you wish for. 5 2
Jingthing Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 At this point it's probable that he'll be nominated and then it will be a one on one race in a 50 50 country so tragically it is hardly impossible for him to become president again. Also we all know even if he loses, he will try to do a coup again, this time much better prepared. As far as the nomination, DeSantis has already bombed, he'd be stupid to even run now. A hope I see for not nominating Trump is in the Christie / Sununu lane. If both run no chance but I think Sununu without Christie running could possibly be a trump spoiler.

I suppose you were just fine with USA not sending military to europe in WW2? Especially if you were German. Or I guess Russian invading Crimea and Ukraine would also appreciate USA staying out of it all then maybe they can take over Finland and a few other countries? 1 1

They should just stay home and fix their problems at home. They have enough of those. You really believe this. Take a look at those wars and tell me how the world would be better and some of those countries open and free. A world without the current South Korea just one Korea under Little rocket man, or Vietnam under a 100% Chinese backed Military, or the Taliban running rampant killing women and children who don't do as a man says or want to learn, or Sadam Hussein still alive murdering his people and those of Turkey because he could. In your view the US and its allies have created a world that you do not see as viable. So you wanted to live in a world where traveling to certain areas of the would have been unavailable and trade would not have ever been free. You must want a world like there was prior to 1900 without the USA's involvement. A world where other countries, like the UK, France and Spain were the top feeders and the US was like posted below. No thank you. BYW Who do you think created most of what we see today by the Industrial revolution and their involvement? What was the US world like in 1900? In 1900, the average family had an annual income of $3,000 (in today's dollars). The family had no indoor plumbing, no phone, and no car. About half of all American children lived in poverty. Most teens did not attend school; instead, they labored in factories or fields. This must be the world you want https://www-brookings-edu.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.brookings.edu/books/the-ghost-at-the-feast-america-and-the-collapse-of-world-order-1900-1941/amp/?amp_gsa=1&_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16804814012136&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brookings.edu%2Fbooks%2Fthe-ghost-at-the-feast-america-and-the-collapse-of-world-order-1900-1941%2F The collapse of British naval power, combined with the rise of Germany and Japan, suddenly placed the United States in a pivotal position. American military power helped defeat Germany in the First World War, and the peace that followed was significantly shaped by a U.S. president. But Americans recoiled from their deep involvement in world affairs, and for the next two decades, they sat by as fascism and tyranny spread unchecked, ultimately causing the liberal world order to fall apart. 1 2
