Russia

And you notice Putin made his big invasions during the Obama-Biden and Harris-Biden administrations.  He didn't become dictator of Russia without knowing how to sense weakness. That's why it is intellectually offensive to see his lackeys blaming the party of out of power who can no longer create deterrence. 

Wouldn't his spectacular failure as well as the unprecedented unified response of Western Liberal Democracies suggest his thinking that the leadership was weak was incorrect? In what way is Putin succeeding and exploiting this perceived weakness? 

 

Not to mention he used Trump to do his job for him: make the NATO weaker and divide the United States on culture war issues Republicans are all to eager to use. Let's not forget which President actively withheld delivering weapons to Ukraine and which President has delivered weapons that have led to staggering losses on the part of the Russians.

We noticed that the Republicans were in power for half this century and didn't keep us up with the Russians (as you claim) because, apparently, Republicans are "left wing activists."

Let's not forget that Obama-Biden sent blankets and food. Trump sent javelin missiles. 

 

Now did Biden eventually come around to the Trump policy of arming Ukraine?  Yes, after the invasion had already started, and it was too late to cut off access routes to Ukranian soil.  So Biden gets reduced credit for late homework.  Totally expected from the man who is slow to get  every major policy issue.

 

So for all the gas-lighters posting pictures of Trump next to dead bodies, you got what you voted for.

Yes there was one party in charge of POTUS, and both Houses of Congress when Putin believed there was no deterrence.  So your mind runs with the big lie that its really the former President's fault an in incendiary fashion blames the current mess on the party out of power.  Well it's tough for you.  Leaders are called upon to address the world as it is, not how they want.  If Biden and the Ds cannot handle this crises then they should never have been put in position.  

And yet the previous guy continues to praise Putin and their media claims he’s their guy. 
 

Arent you so proud?

But I suppose you like Tucker?

In the nuclear field Russia is ahead of the US. Left wing activists raised such a fuss that America effectively stopped developing our nuclear arsenal in the late 20th Century, along with missile defense in the 2st. Our enemies did not have such noble pretensions and can do much more than they have shown. 

You're an absolute loon.

If google is right,   3.21 million average. Not sure if this is just US.

US population: 332 million. It’s not going to keep me up at night.
BTW, I heard a few people say that FOX is too moderate.

Now that might keep you up at night.

Doesn’t keep me up at night either. But, it’s enough to make it worth pointing out what a piece of s#!t he is. 
 

He’s the most watched cable news show in America.

Let’s cut the BS.  
 

Which one is praising Putin for invading Ukraine. 
 

knowing that, making all of what you typed just a bunch of drivel.

No quotes. Need to read it. I am not sure how Putin doesn’t  go to trial as a war criminal when this is over, but then again he probably did the same in Syria and Chechnya and nothing happened.

In fairness, I'm not sure there's much more we can do. The Biden Administration's approach is to try and apply pressure in conjunction with EU member states, in a show of solidarity amongst Western Democracies. 

 

When possible, they've announced actions like banning oil imports, which most EU member states can't do. They've supplied huge numbers of weaponry and aid, with presumably more on the way. 

 

I'm not sure what more the West could reasonably do at this point.
