The fact that they can't hide is that Putin took Crimea on Obama's watch and Donbass on Biden's.

 

This shows the reality...  It's a lot easier to make a mess than to clean up after someone else has.  This mess belongs to Obama and Biden.  Trump's cleaning it up.

 

 

 

Don't annoy them with facts. 

 

In fact, Obama's reaction to Crimea was so poor that Putin was emboldened to attack Ukraine when Biden was in power. 

 

The smart-*ss would say that Obama should have given the rest of Ukraine a security guarantee. 

 

The realist - and I'm no fan of Obama - knows that the 2010/14 Ukraine political situation was such a hot mess that Obama would have needed to be touched in the head to give a guarantee to that bag of snakes.

I cant even read this article because you need to subscribe.

It's titled "How Trump made millions running failed casinos".

If you think you understand how these billionaires are managing their money, you don't because you've never had that kind of money. 

https://www.vox.com/2016/6/12/11909176/trump-atlantic-city-business

 

Years ago, there were several documentary exposés 'splaining how bankruptcy is actually baked into the plans for Casinos and some high end hotel projects.   I always thought it was dodgy.  But then, I don't run in those circles.  Billionaires aren't like the rest of us.

Lost in the story about the White House blow up was the blowback Zelensky received from his own delegation for acting the tough guy fool.

Putin Says Ukraine War Would Not Have Started If Trump Were President

And what were the "pundits" saying when old dementia Joe was President? There are millions the world over that are applauding President Trump for his effort in trying to end the war in the Ukraine. Even Hillary has claimed that she will nominate President Trump for the Peace Prize if he is successful in negotiating peace. 

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/08/15/hillary-clinton-says-trump-could-win-nobel-peace-prize-if-he-ends-war-ukraine-i-d-nominate-him/

Err, I think Putin was using what we call flattery. He knows Donald is a simpleton who loves being praised by strongmen.

Like taking candy from a kid.

 

Here's another example:

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that Chinese President Xi Jinping told him China would not invade Taiwan while Trump is in office.

 

"I will tell you, you know, you have a very similar thing with President Xi of China and Taiwan, but I don't believe there's any way it's going to happen as long as I'm here. We'll see," Trump said during an interview on Fox News' "Special Report."

 

"He told me, 'I will never do it as long as you're president.' President Xi told me that, and I said, 'Well, I appreciate that,' but he also said, 'But I am very patient, and China is very patient.'," Trump said.

 

Trump says Xi told him China will not invade Taiwan while he is US president

 

‘Putin clearly won’: Pundits say meeting was ‘bad for Americans’

 

What a bunch of childish morons.  There is no "Putin Won," or "Trump Won."  

The ideological idiots can't grasp that "HUMANITY WINS" if tension are deescalated between major nuclear powers and a path to mutually beneficial relations can be forged instead of being on the brink of nuclear war because of these juveniles dick-wagging about who is winning or losing.

The "pundits" are worse than petulant 7 year old spoiled brats and should be treated as such!

Another anti Trump thread, based on less than all the others 

 

... "Both leaders suggested progress had been made on talks about the future of the war in Ukraine but neither disclosed details during their joint appearance in front of the world’s press where neither took questions from journalists." ... 

 

Don't know what y'all expect, or know what everyone else doesn't know.

 

What I expect, since EU doesn't want the war to end, and convinced Z not to, I expect RU & USA agreeing to remain peaceful, and RU do what it needs to do.   

 

USA will not back NATO silliness in a regional conflict that doesn't involve the EU, nor the USA.  Z has no interest in a ceasefire or peace agreement, so live or die with that choice.

 

RU has been as patient as anyone can expect.  Time to end the silliness.  Boot Z & govt from their dictatorship, and let UA citizens have an election to decide it's future.

 

Given trump mouths off at even a glimmer of success, sometimes even when they are outright lies what do you expect from the media, especially when Trump calls out the media as the "enemy of the people" a typical extremist comment? Respect - LOL. In this case Trump's repeated claims of finalising the Ukraine / Russia conflict within a day of coming to power! Trump is his own worst enemy

Did you miss the headline word "pundits"; It's an opinion piece. No news...Trump obviously failed with his meeting objectives.

Anyone who believed political hyperbole like that in the runup to an election is naive, at best.  I'd actually use a stronger word than naive...

 

Similar to those who actually believed they could vote by text for Hillary.  (For which a guy named Mackey got tossed into prison just for forwarding this obvious joke).

Who was in the White House in 2014 when Putin took Crimea?

 

Who was in the White House in 2022 when Putin took Donbass?

 

In both cases, BTW, the local population actually voted to stay with Russia.

 

How many parts of Ukraine did Putin take while Trump 45 was in the White House? 

 

That's not a MAGA truth.  Those are facts.

 

 

Where are all the MAGA fans this morning telling us all Trump is  " Winning " maybe there Internets crashed. I posted some time ago Trump fails on every Ceasefire he tries to end. This is yet another failure. Zelenski is going to the Whitehouse on Monday where Trump and his Clones will belittle Zelenski again and will blame him for carrying on the war against Russia. Has Trump got the backbone to travel to Kiev or is he to frightened to fly there.

If we're on the brink of a nuclear war it's because a dictator invaded another country. Not because of a commentator wagging on winning or losing.

 

Winning, isn't that something trump thinks terribly important and brags about continuously? Glad to see you don't agree with him on that one.

Because you are just parrotting discreditted msm narrative. Their narratives, in case you didnt notice, are only hating Trump at any cost. Whatever he does they say its wrong. So your parrotting the nonsensical Ride Putin Hard narrative(because Trump is trying to win peace through diplomacy) is both dumb and dangerous.

This thread is about Trump cleaning up a mess left by those past presidents.  Obama and Biden own the Ukraine tragedy.  Both attacks happened on their watch.  None on Trump's.  He's just gotta clean it up.

There is no doubt who was in office, but the narrative you are boosting, I do not agree with.

 

However here is quite a sober article who gives you partly right and also explains the complexity of world order  and foreign Affairs securing allies and also needed resources to keep the west floating as the leader of the Free world, and why Trump is not.

 

All Empires serves oranges and lemons, which side do you want to be on?

He couldn't clean a kitchen floor.

If the bluffer had any balls he would have had an armed guard with him to arrest Putin as he has on an arrest warrent on him for war crimes.
