No one has to speculate. Trump actually said he would not have let it happen. Whether he could have stopped it is another question but he does not want Russia in Ukraine.
The part where Trump goes on to say how horrible the situation is and that this never would have happened under his administration because he knows how "savvy" Putin is. Say what you want about Trump, but Putin is not an idiot by any measure. Trump realized that Putin is a master manipulator and a genius at subversion. This is important to the context because it shows that all the "praise" he was giving to Putin was actually satire to emphasise Biden's ineptitude and not to elevate Putin. He went on to show how Biden and the rest of NATO we're completely unprepared and too incompetent to deal with Putin.
I think that keeping that oil secularly in the ground until it's the most profitable for the oil/gas company to pump, process, and sell it is what they are most likely to do.
Yeah this item reminds me how lucky we are that Trump is no longer in charge of US foreign policy at this delicate moment.
Amen to this. Can we get past talking about him? He is now irrelevant.
Dont forget this thread is in the "American Politics" section. So the purpose is to discuss the domestic political angle. Trump - or "Trumpism" - is still very much in charge of a good portion of the American mindset.
And that is unfortunate. But speculating on what he would do or what Putin would not have done is pointless. IF the current POTUS is faltering what is the GOP alternative? They are divided.
Where is most of the NATO countries getting their oil from? And ask yourself who those oil revenues are funding? Then ask yourself what would happen to these countries if Putin cut their oil supply off? That should explain why NATO has done everything but the one thing that will cripple Russia's ability to make war.
Except for last week when he said they had no intention of invading.
Sorry. I didn't read past your first sentence because it became clear that I am wasting my time trying to explain anything to you. So you have wasted your time responding to me.
