Did you see where he blamed Ukraine for starting the war? The "man" is slap out of his mind.
He's blaming Ukraine for not negotiating a peace earlier. Even a month after this started in 2022, Ukraine could have ceded Donback and Crimea in exchange for NATO membership and a halt to Russian aggression. Was that fair? No absolutely not. Putin is a brutal expansionist and what he did was evil. But was refusing to cut a deal in the best interests of Ukraine? Was it in the best interests of the American taxpayer? So now after having their country leveled and most of his fighting age men killed or dismembered, after the US wasting how many hundreds of billions of dollars guess what the deal is going to be for Ukraine? Giving up the Donback and Crimea, and a treaty to halt Russian expansion. And what good was the money America spent on fighting this war? Why was America paying for it rather than Europe? As long as the American taxpayer is paying for this war, than it's our right to decide whether it's worth it to us or not, which we don't even really get to do given that our citizens who contribute nothing to the economy get the same vote as those that are responsible for paying the bills doing all the work! If climate change were really the most urgent foreign policy issue as Democrats claimed, why are they all the sudden so much in favor of long and expensive foreign wars and defense department spending, especially when it doesn't change the eventual outcome other than the climate footprint these wars have left, which aren't insignificant.
We're in a state of civil war in the US. We have irreconcilable differences that have not been able to be peacefully resolved for quite some time now. Both sides are willing to fight for what they perceive as being right, are they not? The only way this has ever been resolved in human history is violence. Do you think that's the best option at this point, especially now that Trump is president and you're not going to get your way through democracy?
Not going to get my way? Do you think you're talking to a four year old here, ajax?
Pony up some respect.

About the only thing you got right in the above screed is that "Putin is a brutal expansionist and what he did was evil." If you think there were any chance that Putin would even have considered being satisfied with just acquiring Donback and Crimea you are hopelessly naïve! He wanted and still wants all of Ukraine. To him, that is nonnegotiable. Nor is it likely he would stop with that. He wants everything the USSR once owned and controlled, including control over the USSR' former satellites like Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Romania, etc. Appeasing him at this point would have results every bit as or even more disastrous as the appeasing Hitler by Chamberlin prior to WWII!
And it is not true that the U.S, was paying everything to help Ukraine. Many, if not most, of the EU countries were and still are making significant contributions to Ukraine's defense.

Just wait until the same precedents you've set with partisan political weaponization of the justice system cuts back against your side of the aisle in the same way. I think they should. The same censorship, cancellation, and criminalization of political opinion needs to hit the left right back in the pocketbook in just fashion because that's all you're capable of understanding. Mercy is for the repentant. The left doesn't qualify for mercy.
Trump is a modern day George Washington. George Washington took on the bully, that was England and against all odds, he won. And then in an unprecedented decision he refused to become king of America. He chose to step down after two terms. Donald Trump took on an even bigger bully which was the partisan political deep state, justice department, and legal systems. And against all odds, he won, when even I thought he would be joining people like Bannon, Navarro, Flynn, and Manafort as political prisoners for working on Trump's campaigns and were bankrupted and imprisoned for supporting the MAGA movement. You're lucky that Trump is magnanimous and not interested in vengeance. I would hang every last one of these treasonous partisan political prosecutors who weaponized the justice department against anyone associated with the MAGA movement, Jack Smith, Fanny Willis, Judge Engoron, Laisha James. They crossed a line and it just cannot be tolerated or ignored.
Generations from now school children will mistakenly assign the origin of the term "trumped up charges," to the 45th and 47th president when they read about it in history books.
Trump is a modern day George Washington?!! Give us a break! By nearly unanimous consensus of Historians and the American Political Science Association, Trump ranked as one of the worst and most divisive Presidents we have ever had! Democratic and independent members ranked him dead last, and even the Republican members ranked him in the bottom 10!
You're outrageously misinformed and/or willfully blind if you think Trump is magnanimous and not interested in vengeance. Almost everything he has done since his inauguration is motivated to a great degree by vengeance! He hardly even tries to hide that fact! He seems quite gleeful about it, in fact!

What on earth is Donback?

Excuse me while I lob THIS on the table. Emphasizing.
Budapest Memorandum
According to the three memoranda,[6] Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively removing all Soviet nuclear weapons from their soil, and that they agreed to the following:
Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act).[7]
Refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the signatories to the memorandum, and undertake that none of their weapons will ever be used against these countries, except in cases of self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.
Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
Not to use nuclear weapons against any non–nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.[5]: 169–171 [8][9]
Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.[10][11]
Further information: Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation
In February 2014, Russian forces seized or blockaded various airports and other strategic sites throughout Crimea.[37] The troops were attached to the Russian Black Sea Fleet stationed in Crimea,[38] which placed Russia in violation of the Budapest Memorandum.
Main articles: Russian invasion of Ukraine and Legality of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
In 2008 and 2011, Putin expressed the opinion that neither the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine nor the Budapest Memorandum signed by Yeltsin were binding for Russia. In 2014, Putin claimed the Maidan movement and government change radically changed Ukraine into a new entity, toward which Russia has no engagement, allowing the 2014 invasion of Donbas.[58]

None of the people you listed demanded ‘death’ for anyone you’re currently bootlicking, nor did the supposed Deep State that you claim existed and that they supposedly controlled.
Yet here you are, advocating that you would happily kill them all for daring to offend you.
Ajax got it wrong when he said "Donback". I don't know whether that was due to ignorance on his part or just a typo. I should have corrected him on that. Obviously he was talking about the Donbas region of Ukraine. It was either just a typo, or he just didn't know the right name for the region.

In fact it seems that some of his strongest and most hateful vengeance is directed against his fellow Republicans who question any of his lies and policies.

Then their say in the peace talks will be proportional to their financial contribution. When did lefties start advocating for defense spending in foreign wars? You sound like 80s Republicans. Gov Romney the cold war jyst called and wants their foreign policy back. Isn't the real threat we should be focused on climate change? These bombs are releasing too much CO2.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
