Oooooo we could take over Canada and make it part of Alaska! 🙄 I'm confused - Alaska is already an American state. The point of my post was that Trump sees no difference in Putin entering Ukraine and taking over an independent country. Yet it has obviously never occurred to him that his way of thinking works both ways. Other countries could do the same to the US, hence my suggestion of Texas and Minnesota - both part of the US but are border states. You could get Canada to take over Alaska though. I misread your post. |

I live in MN. Sometimes I wish Canada would take us over. I say the same thing here in Michigan. Me too. I already know the words to O Canada. |

Trump added: "But here’s a guy that says, you know, 'I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent,' he used the word 'independent' and 'we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.' You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response. They didn’t have one for that. No, it’s very sad. Very sad."
www.rawstory.com/trump-putin-ukraine/ Ukraine is already INDEPENDENT. He needs locking up.  Not that I’m defending Trump’s support of Putin, but Putin did say that. The independence referred to is not that of Ukraine as a whole. Putin was referring specifically to Donetsk and Luhansk, the separatist republics that want to break away from the rest of Ukraine, and which he formally recognized as independent. That’s what undergirds the pretext behind sending Russian troops to the two regions, supposedly to keep peace and protect them. |

So, the Trump/Putin dictator playbook:
1. Send lots of your citizens into another (home) country
2. Whine that your citizens are mistreated in that other (home) country
3. Coerce, pay, or otherwise convince some of the native citizens of the home country to become citizens of your (dictator) country
4. Have your citizens (from #2 and #3) start to fight the military and police in the home country
5. The citizens from your country (from #2 & #3) now BEG you, the dictator, to protect them from the home country
6. You invade and/or start a war with the home country "to protect your citizens". You create a new INDEPENDENT state for your citizens out of the territory of the former home country.
SWEET. I wonder if Mexico is paying attention?!?

That’s what undergirds the pretext behind sending Russian troops to the two regions, supposedly to keep peace and protect them. I know Putin said it but surely anyone in their right mind would have corrected the error rather than just repeat what he said in the way Trump did. It just shows his ignorance. Technically both Donetsk and Luhansk are still part of Ukraine though it's only Putin that declares they're not. There is not need for a peace keeping force there, it's been like that for years ever since Putin planted more Russian nationals in the region. It's just Putin's excuse to put more Russian boots on the ground there in the same way he's given a large number of the population Russian passports and now he says they need protecting! Just because you have a large number of invented " foreign" nationals in a country doesn't mean someone can send in troops from another country to keep the peace there. |

Trudeau - Autocrat, tyrant Putin - Genius Got it. This is a great point. “Tyrants” like Trudeau (oh, puh-leez) whose polices run counter to what they want=bad. Actual tyrants like Putin, who opposes a US President that they didn’t vote for, and who isn’t personally hurting them = all good. |

Putin would eliminate anyone who gets in his way including those who are praising and fawning over him. That’s how he rolls. That’s how tyrants roll. They think that they are Putins buds. Tyrants have no friends they demand loyalists. They wipe out their own families without any thought.

All Trump is saying is that Putin passed the same “intelligence test” that he did. “Person, camera….” 🙄

Hell, Trump would have handed America to Putin if he thought he would benefit. I’m surprised we never saw a picture of Trump with his nose up Putin’s ass.

I'm still waiting for our resident trump fans to chime in on this. They won't. Their explanation is that we are too hard on them and we don't accept their opinion. However, if one of them could ever say that something a Republican did was wrong without making an excuse for it, that would be a start. |
