CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

JD Vance called Trump America's Hitler in a private email to a friend.
In 2016, Vance wrote in a private message to his former law school roommate: "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a**hole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?"
I don't know of any prominent Democrat that has ever called Trump Hitler.
I know Piers Morgan brings it up all the time, almost every time he has a left wing guest on his show, he tries to put that guest on the spot and tries to claim that the left is calling Trump Hitler or a Nazi. He basically slaps them with this strawman, when actually it was JD Vance, Trump's VP that called him Hitler.
Many on the left have called Trump authoritarian or a fascist, many have pointed out that some of the things Trump has said are echoes of phrases from Mein Kamf or from speeches Hitler has made. Many of Trump's ex-admin, office collegues have also said Trump is a fascist. They do this not to be name calling but to put an ideological label on him. Much like calling me an Atheist isn't name calling.

Sorry, no. Russia was never promised that NATO wouldn't expand. Those "promises" were made to the Soviet Union and were never actually promised, if they had, they'd have ended up in an actual treaty. Beyond that, Russia didn't keep their promise of not attacking former Soviet Republics -- so even if the US had promised it, Russia broke the deal first, by attacking Georgia, Romania, and Tajikistan.
Also, if the war was about NATO expansion, as you claim, why did it take Russia almost 25 years after NATO had expanded before attacking? That makes no sense whatsoever, particularly as NATO had denied Ukraine membership -- there was no danger of Ukraine joining NATO until after the "rebellion" in the Donbass (which Russia supported with Russian troops and equipment) had ended, at a minimum (there were other issues, as well). And, again, since Russia was keeping that rebellion going with troops and equipment, Russia knew there was no way Ukraine was joining NATO.
Instead, this is where you need to go to Putin's writings to find the actual cause for the war, the writings where Putin talks about expanding the borders of Russia back to what they were under the Russian Empire.
Except we haven't been containing Russia. We've allowed him to attack Georgia, Tajikistan, Romania, and Chechnya, and never intervened. We allowed him to annex Crimea with little pushback. We've allowed Russia to set up a puppet government in Belarus.
As for Ukraine becoming neutral, it is sad that you think you (and Russia) should decide the internal politics of Ukraine. Ukrainians had already decided that they want to be tied to the West, not to Russia.

I thought it was before the meeting
Before Trump Spat, Zelensky Was Asked Why He's Not Wearing Suit. His Reply
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was asked a question about a suit before his meeting with Donald Trump descended into mayhem.

That is Marge Green's new boy friend.
A reporter at a wingnut outfit.
She broke up with the Yoga instructor who was just some guy who had a mat in his van parked down by the river.

US is important in the Securities Guarantee. I would expect the deal will be, Ukraine will let Putin keep the land he has stolen as long as they leave the rest of Ukraine alone and leave, and NEVER come back, or else Europe and USA will be back and this time they will do direct engagement in war.

It was before JD Vance stepped in. It was the second question asked to Zelensky by a right wing corespondent.
