When Trump was in power he had sanctions on Russia's pipeline and gave arms to Ukraine, which was a reverse of the Obama/Biden position. However, he had a working and cordial relationship with Putin. When Biden came in, he stopped those sanctions but simultaneously kept up a damaging and stupid series of paper tiger insults at Putin ruining any possible influence. In terms of deterring Putin it made zero difference as Putin can smell the weakness behind the rhetoric and knows that the economic sanctions will also hit us....and all over a border dispute that few westerners care about. In power Trump criticised Germany's 70 percent reliance upon Russia's gas as bad policy. For this he was criticised by Biden and the Democrats. In power Trump expanded the US's energy production, whereas the day Biden came in he cancelled the US pipeline and much production and jobs reversing Trump's march towards energy independence....embarrassingly Biden then had to beg the Saudis to increase production. When Trump was in power he criticised Nato and Europe on their lack of defence spending and over reliance on America. Biden and the Democrats criticised this when it's the actual truth. And I'm not even going to touch Afghanistan as that still makes my blood boil. Trump was right on all those areas. Trump came with issues but he makes the Democrats look like the set of absurd incompetents that they are.

If that's the kind of source you have used to obtain "information" on getting vaccinated it's little wonder you made the irrational decision you did. Trump and "truth" are mutually incompatible words.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

I have always been a big trump fan! Cant wait to download his new Truth social app when its available on android! I'm more a Gab fan because ultimately even Truth social is on Amazon's servers...so its still subject to censorship by it's enemies. Those who know how it works know what's really going on there. Anyway, I don't really spend that much time on those kind of platforms. In terms of Trump, yeah compared to the Democrats he looks significantly better both internally, economically and on foreign policy.....but I'm not personally a fan of his standing in 2024. There should be some kind of age limit for this job....I think it's more about narcissism with these guys....well it's always been about narcissism with Trump I'd rather have DeSantis. But currently it looks like Trump or nothing. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 Feb 2022 7.07pm)

Harris gives a barely coherent speech on Ukraine. Says there hasn't been a war in Europe for seventy years. The woman's an idiot.

I love this article - I would of course because it rubbishes Biden - but it is somewhat interesting.

Cheers for that, having a technologically frustrating day.
Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course). |
