Trump 47, Putin & The Ukraine War.
Joe Ferguson forever replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yes, we have a "doctor" here and 2 "molecular biologists" (what are th odds?) that find the time to post 1000's of times. And some seem to think that showing John McCain reciting time honored American ( real republican) beliefs about communist countries supports their perverse cause. How f'in bad must their lives be to push for russian dominance. They must be getting paid twice the standard russian poverty wage. -

President Trump's Foreign Policy (2)
Joe Ferguson forever replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
When I was in grad school, we had 2 great Persian friends. Brother and sister. She was extremely beautiful. He was a science nerd. They went from riches to rags overnight after the revolution. Their family was ostracized and destroyed. But they carried on with NIH stipends, no less. Money well spent. They produced very good science. We should remember that it is from this area that the "cradle of civilization" sprang. They were leaders in science and the arts. now they're shite, as you outline. Authoritarianism brings out the worst and suffocates the best. -
President Trump's Foreign Policy (2)
Joe Ferguson forever replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If I were a betting man, and we all are to some degree, I'd bet 1. yes, but trump isn't willing to propose it 2. No. even trump isn't that stupid but I suppose it depends on the value of the kompromat. what can be worse than what we already know? little boys? little girls? 3. Yes. They'll hold with a few loopholes to make sure everyone stays warm. 4. I think this depends on the midterms. Americans have a last chance to save us from becoming them. -
did you have a nice dinner out? We did too. Too damn windy and cold to walk to the bakery for coffee and dessert. But it was nice... Yeah, I was not aware. Who are the good guys? Does the result matter to us? Whatever you believe, I'm a pragmatist. If we can do something covertly to help the side that wants democracy, i'm all in. If they're both bad, let them fight it out for themselves. they'll be less bad people left. I do know the russians are very interested in enlarging their footprint in Africa. Which side do they support?

We got here because of Stalins land grab at the end offWW2 and Roosevelt's acquiescence. Russia has always wanted more than it deserves or can defend. At least, when America had a backbone. They've lost most of theirrecent proxy conflicts. We're holding our own in the one in Ukraine - without troops. The Berlin wall was torn down. Many soviet holdings were lost especially in the Baltics. You lost the most important event in the 1980 olympics (carter embarrassed you!). Perostroyka began. You still had *****!y grocery stores and movies and pop culture. Ya'll would pay a premium for levis. You wanted to be Americans. And then you made Americans stupidly believe...they want to be you. No small task. Bravo and shame on us.

Not a word about "orchestrating regime change"... Just basic, traditional American policy ion helping those repressed by authoritarian regimes get out of their pitiful situation. No wonder trump hated McCain who was an American War hero and honest broker. More convinced that ever that your a Russian troll. F off Boris. Isn't it kinda late in Donbas, no?

Ukraine has been a been a side bet in the continual US/Russian international game of poker. We went “all in” by overthrowing a democratically elected government in Kiev and Russia called our bluff. The current administration is playing with a hand partially drawn by other… Ah, the tired betting metaphor from the mobster administration. Susan Rice is a pulsar. I agree with almost everything she says.

cool. So who was at fault for yesterday? the implication is you feel it was trump. You're against colonizing Greenland. Therefore, making Canada the 51st state is unacceptable? Panama canal? Tariffs on Canada and Mexico? Lots more to ask since I don't recall you volunteering your opposition before. But it's a start.

It later came out that Rice and Tony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, and Alexander Vindman may have been personally advising Zelensky to do this meeting in the way he did -- that they recommended him to be hostile yes, and trump may have become a rainbow farting, unicorn of a humanitarian. this is meaningless gossip. it's what pretend journalists and propagandists do...
