Rand Paul and Blinken spar over Putin invading countries that ‘were part of Russia’Posted By Rod Kaufman |
Trump would have "negotiated" a deal since he's the great "deal-maker" of the century in which Ukraine would have been carved into pieces with Russia feasting on almost all of it. Then, Davis, Mel and the rest of the cons would be calling for Trump to be awarded the Nobel peace prize!Originally Posted by James Lacey
Biden and his administration have done a fantastic job managing the Ukraine crisis. They have fostered and held together a tremendous Western coalition against Russia and reinvigorated and demonstrated the necessity of NATO and its relevance. If Trump were in charge, he would have been pressuring Ukraine to surrender a long time ago, and he sure as heck would not have been able to pull off the foreign policy victory Biden and his team have done. Biden's actions have made Russia pay a heavy price without escalating the conflict to where boots on the ground are required. Honestly, it's hard to imagine any administration could have handled it better than it has gone so far.
Russia is not a rational actor. The problem with Russia today is that a strong man effectively runs it. If Politburo had been back, and there had been more internal discussion and differences of opinion, the war might never have happened.
