  • The Russia-China axis and the decline of American power on the World stage.

    Ukraine is under attack, very limited Western response so far. It is part of a much bigger issue. What should Western powers do?

    Let me ask you FF, is the decline of American power on the world stage a bad thing in your mind?

      LET'S GO BRANDON!


      I'm sure the world will be better off in the tender mercies of Russia and China.

        America's decline in international influence has primarily been the result of installing a cognitively challenged puppet in the Oval Office. Things would look a lot different (as in more peaceful and prosperous) if Trump was still president.

          That is factually true - but the leftists will never admit it...

            Well, I don't agree with you, but Donald Trump certainly does. He has called the Russian invasion of the Ukraine "genius", "smart", "wonderful", and "savvy". Trump also says that the United States could "use that on our Southern border", although Trump didn't clarify whether he meant that he would be in support of a Russia invasion of Texas, or whether Trump wants to use the US military to invade, conquer, and annex Mexico.

              Leftists are never happy. They are authoritarians that want some sort of globalism, run by western elitists, and they also want everybody to play nice. They aren't prepared to deal with the nasty elements on the world stage.

              I am quite positive that Putin would not have chosen this current path with Trump as president. In fact, Trump was president and Putin behaved. "Surprise, surprise!" But Leftists still want to blame him (as illustrated by the headlines regarding the Trump interview). Even the above post shows the weirdness of the Leftists.

                  Focus on words and theater. Biden could use you in his administration. He likes to create problems and then divert attention to Trump, too.

                    Here in Canada, there is a very important book which is widely read by Christians. Among other words of wisdom, the book contains the following quotation which is attributed to Jesus:

                    "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire."

                    Makes you think, doesn't it.

                      I'll disagree that it was "genius" given that with an ineffectual Europe and a cognitively challenged president in the U.S., Putin would have been a fool to wait.

                      Or the painfully obvious selection, which you naturally missed. That such a force would definitely stop the fire hose flow of illegals crossing the border.

                        I agree to a point. As Trudeau just showed us, they have no problem at all with "the nasty elements on the world stage" since so often they are the nasty elements on the world stage

                          Trump is just telling it like it is. It is a genius move on Putin's part. Acknowledging this fact does not signify approval.

                          You also have to remember Trump's style of diplomacy: he would smile and shake hands in public while quietly issuing heavy sanctions. Putin was thrilled to see Joe installed as president.

                            Are you afraid Trump is holding a grudge against you?
