American Politics

[QUOTE=GDreams;2670228]Canada shows his true colours. So blind is his hatred of Biden that he can't write one truthful paragraph. It is Putins War. The Russians have invaded Ukraine or are you trying to suggest it is the US. Personally I would have no problem with the US stationing a few squadrons of fighters and ground support aircraft and a carrier group in Black sea. Then again Putin is such an imbecile that he is shelling a nuclear power plant, do you trust him not to go full nuclear war? Do you want nuclear war Canada? I can just see you typing out " Biden's Nucl." just as you are incinerated in a blast.

You are correct, there are bipartisan negotiations to sanction Russian oil. How about waiting for a veto before claiming Biden is opposing it. Truly if today Biden announced he was sanctioning Russian oil you would criticize him for driving petrol prices up.[/QUOTE]Biden in his first day in office made an executive action to cancel pipeline and stop Canada oil. Biden could do the same with Russia. Difference is Biden doesn't need Canada. He needs Putin.

Nuclear war is now possible since the USA hasn't got a president with a set of balls. Biden showing weakness to the world over the past 14 months will bring more danger to USA citizens not only from Russia but China, Iran and North Korea. USA is a joke to the world now and the dictators are licking their chops. Biden is a disaster and we knew it from the beginning. The people who voted for him have blood on their hands.

[QUOTE=Canada;2670191]Zelensky statements today pretty much told the story of Ukraine disaster. Russia-Ukraine: Zelenskyy says it's a 'pity' US support came 'after' Russian war.

Biden threatening sanctions when Russia put thousands of soldiers on the Ukraine border did absolutely nothing to deter Putin. USA putting sanctions after invasion and after Europe imposed sanctions showed Putin how weak Biden was. Putin with help from Biden will take Ukraine and kill thousands of innocent people. Even some Americans. Biden still refuses to sanction oil from Russia and USA continues to pour $80 million dollars a day into Putin's war. USA is funding the invasion of Ukraine. Democrats and republicans together are lobbying Biden to sanction Russian oil and hurt Russia but he refuses. Russia is getting rich off of fools like Biden. Every person that voted for Biden can take credit for innocent people dying. The socialists here must be so proud.[/QUOTE]Yes I saw his speech on the news. You are absolutely right. Biden not helping Ukraine was Biden way of showing support for Russia. His continuing support of Russia oil which is financing the invasion shows the world his loyalty to Putin. Biden is just Putin puppet and Putin keeps pulling the strings and Biden dances around the issues. I think most normal people agree that Biden voters can also take credit for the deaths of innocent people.

[QUOTE=Canada;2670185]Half a wall doesn't work. Criminals and drug runners entering illegally are not looking for work. USA does not have a shortage of unskilled labor.[/QUOTE]Exactly correct. Where the wall is completed it works well. That has been proven and verified by border patrol. But a wall that they can just walk around doesn't work. Ironic that Pelosi and her fellow democrats have huge walls around their houses with cameras and other security devices. If walls don't work then why do they have them.

[QUOTE=EatALotOpus;2670412]Few day before the invasion Psaki was asked during a presser why not implement the sanctions now. The answer was "It hasn't Happened yet".

That's how Biden deters![/QUOTE]Deny and ignore the right decision. Typical democrat. Keep waiting to make the decision to sanction Russia oil until Russia defeats Ukraine. Biden will keep giving Russia $80 million a day to fund the war. Let's go Brandon.

President Joe Biden is without a doubt the greatest steward of the USA economy ever.

BTW, how's Russia doing 'on Biden's watch'?

When a nuclear armed country imposes a no fly zone against another nuclear armed country in a state of war, at some point an aircraft of one side will have to be shot down. And not accidentally.

The USA might not need Russia's oil all that much but many other countries do. Imposing ironclad sanctions against Russia's oil in anything close to the kind of alliance unity required to matter would be doing undo and wildly counterproductive damage to our allies at the worst possible time. That is why Biden made an exception to it. Duh.

Zelensky is asking for everything, early and often. Good for him. His highest priority is the people of Ukraine, not the people of America.

Shocker! This current POTUS' priorities are the American people, our national security and our economy.

Yes, it sucks to be Ukraine right now. Maybe Zelensky should have been more interested in and applying for membership in some of these democratic Western alliances and done what was necessary to join them a lot sooner than when Putin started lining up troops at his border. Maybe his hesitation was that he fell for the Putin / Trump con that those alliances are yesterday's solutions, unnecessary, a waste of time and money, etc.

He sure is scrambling to join some now. Lesson learned I assume. Same for other countries.

It was not Biden or America's job to jump ahead of sovereign nations to initiate saber rattling sanctions against their enemies before they act stupidly beyond what we were already doing. That is, after the Repubs dropped the necessary Ukraine Military Aid ball entirely from their agenda as far back as 2016 and after Trump got busted by the Dems and properly Impeached for all manner of manipulation to Defund Military Aid To Ukraine on Putin's obvious demand.

Sure, Zelensky now wishes Biden had been running everything in, out and all around his country to keep its borders as safe from Russian incursion as every member country of NATO enjoys, to the years long outrage of Putin, Trump and their fellow Republicans.

Next time.

Then we'll think about building the kinds of walls people have around their homes in those cities. LOL. Good god.

There has been quite an improvement in Americans' quality of life over these past few months compared to all the school and business closures and lockdowns Joe inherited from Trump's cowardice, lies and grossly negligent handling of the potential pandemic that converted it well and surely into the deadly Trump's Pandemic it became.

You don't get to this Morning In America by declaring the potential emerging Pandemic you left America bare ass naked against preventing or quickly responding to as a "Hoax" and spending almost that full first critical year mocking the known mitigation measures and trying to discourage anyone and everyone not to bother inventing or taking a vaccine for it.

You get there by following the science, as Biden did.

President Biden added 678,000 new jobs.

Imagine what he would have done in a regular size month.

[QUOTE=Canada;2670449]No troops but Biden should have put in a no fly zone to at least appear he is helping the Ukrainians. When any country puts thousands of troops into a neighboring country like Belarus to intimidate Ukraine it is an act of war. Biden should have started sanctions immediately starting with oil. Biden is a joke to the world. He is responsible for thousands of deaths. You are one of the few people in the world that thinks Russian shouldn't be penalized for this horrible invasion. You are one of the few people on the world that thinks we should support Russia oil. You and Biden can take pride that your support of Russia is helping Russia take Ukraine. You must be proud.[/QUOTE]

This is the middle of winter in most of Europe. If Russia cuts off oil and gas to Europe, how do the Europeans heat their homes. How do they run their public transportation networks?

Biden's MO is "Ready. Aim. Fire. " Let's figure it out with our allies and do what is best for everybody.

The Orange Fruitcake's MO was "Ready. Fire. Aim." Let's stop buying Russian oil. Wait? What? Gasoline prices are rising? How come oil producers didn't pump more? Oh, well, I don't take any responsibility for it."

The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the USA Capitol said in a court filing late Wednesday that it had evidence that former President Trump and his allies engaged in a "criminal conspiracy" by trying to block Congress from certifying the election.

This is the first time the committee has laid out a potential criminal case against Trump. The committee's filing represented a significant moment in its investigation, because it included rare disclosures of its findings. It also included excerpts of the panel's depositions and interviews with witnesses, including former Vice President Mike Pence's top advisers, former Justice Department leaders, and those close to Trump.

Wednesday's filing was in response to a lawsuit brought by right-wing attorney John Eastman, who advised Trump in his final weeks in office. Eastman has refused to provide documents to the committee and invoked attorney-client privilege, saying he was Trump's lawyer.

How does John Eastmen prove he was TrumpShit's attorney with any evidence other than unpaid invoices for TrumpLevel legal services?

When Putin is replaced, the replacement might slit Putin's throat and hang his naked corpse upside down in the center of Moscow with its head touching the ground so the people of Russia can piss, shit and spit on it for the following few weeks.

But if Biden and the alliances impose sanctions on Russian oil, that oil isn't going to sit unsold in Russia. China will buy it. Somebody will buy it anyway because the world needs oil.

Russia would barely notice it if the USA stopped buying oil from them because we import so relatively little of it. But other countries, many of them our allies, rely quite a bit on Russian oil imports.

What Biden would be doing by rallying a hardline alliance sanction of Russian oil is asking our allies to make all the sacrifices while our oil purchasing adversaries benefit and while we skate from any real sacrifice over it. Not exactly the usual American way of doing these things.
