Very true. Stalin was a monster.

None of the soldiers there were actually Russians. Also don't forget the rapes.

Inconvenient facts. The Soviéts were originally allied with Hitler The USA land lease program. All the allies deserve credit for defeating Hitler.

Ukraine.doean't target civilians like Putin does. They also wouldn't threaten Xi. If something happens probably a false flag. A Putin specialty.

Some thoughts. The Catholic church can do what it wants. If you're not Catholic why would you even care much either way? He is not woke Pope. He is more conservative than Francis on social issues such as LGBT, women in the priesthood etc. He is similar to Francis on relating to the poorest and the suffering, the human dignity of migrants and compassion. That fits with the religion. Maga fascists hate that. They're all about cruelty and intolerance. In my view Trump made Pope Leo IV possible. That's because Trump has stepped back from American global leadership to become just another country operating only on self interest. An American Pope wasn't possible politicaly before. He seems overall a decent guy within the context of Catholic dogma.

No decent person is.

It was a necessary war against evil. Today we also have a necessary war against the evil of Putin.

No.

I support that the USA remains a constitutional democrat republic. Other countries are free to do things their way.

It's not at clear yet whether there will even be a normal midterm election in 26, much less 28. If there are, it's way way too early to know what the political mood will be at that time so good picks will be dependent on that later time, not the past.

Yes Trump has bigly charisma. Typical of cult of personality authoritarian dictators throughout history.

Companion 2025 movie The trailer is a good representation and I did find it very entertaining.

Vance would need to get nominated first to be running against a democrat. He's got the charisma of a bowl of cold porridge.

The Barbra Striesand effect? I hadn't. Made me look it up. Yes it's real.
