LOL! "why no, I absolutely can and will NOT cut Trump ANY slack whatsoever...because [lawns analogy]....". (meanwhile, you cut enough slack to Doh! Biden to reach the bottom of the sea, and wrap the fish'n line around a giant squid, despite the fact that this horrific mess happened on Doh!'s watch due to Doh!'s incompetence, while the *horrible invaders* dared do no such thing while the unworthy of slack meantweets occupied the very same office). Yeah...ain't no such thing as TDS...(and Covid came about due to a magic bat shitting on a wet market that just happened by extrdaordinary coinkydinky to be located in the backyard of China's virobiowarfare lab...).
Yep. Two years later, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea and sections of Lugansk and Donetsk. Guess who Obama's point man on Ukraine was at the time?
I’m sure your Googling skills are as adept as mine. It was widely reported so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding it.
Obama was gullible with regard to Russia. In his defense, Russia had not done all that much up to that point. They had already had a rumble in Georgia, and towards the end of Obama's second term, they invaded and kept Crimea after Hillary handed Putin a "Reset" button, of all stupid things. I am positive that Obama gave up most of his gullibility with regard to Russia by the time he left office. I'm not a democrat (and I never voted for Obama), so I have no need to defend Obama. Trump was equally gullible (even after Crimea), in addition to having business interests and personal (entertainment) history in Russia: a dangerous combination for a greedy businessman-president with a tendency to try to buy silence from his whores (and, undoubtedly, their pimps). Trump spent a lot of time trying to sweet-talk the barbarians. He certainly never said anything approaching the "Evil Empire" speeches of Ronald Reagan.
It must be nice to live in such a simple world with such simple logic. If we had more Americans like you, we might be able to bring back witch trials: "She was there when the earthquake happened, eating a sandwich that was known to cause earthquakes, according to leading soothsayers! I say we burn her at the stake!"
Can't be nearly as nice as living in a political world where the media-you know, the one that is protected via the first Amendment--in order to free them up to vet and scrutinize political servants of the ppl (govmnt ofc holders)--plays politiburo guard dog to the very ppl, institutions and offices they're charged with vetting.... ...and nicer still, to be among the lemming masses who need not think of any position, but merely regurgitate their spoon fed talking points from said office holder, via said poodley watch dog guard bunnies...
That was widely reported. Trump says he would encourage Russia to ‘do whatever the hell they want’ to any NATO country that doesn’t pay enough | CNN Politics

If you click on the video it shows trump saying exactly that. I add this because the trumper requested someone to post a video of him saying that and you posted a cnn article in which the video was imbedded without explaining it. You have to hold theirs hands and spoon feed the truth to them. They still will spit it out but you do what you can do.
