“He could have done that, but it didn’t happen. Yes, the question probably wasn’t pressing at the time because there was no full-scale invasion.

“But our territories were occupied.”

of course, we all know what Trump did do: he tried to extort Zalenskyy for dirt on Hunter Biden by withholding relief funding that the US Congress had already authorized to send to Ukraine. He was even impeached over it.

          reminds me of people who claim to be Christians yet do nothing close to following the teachings of Christ.

            Well it’s kind of hand-in-hand these days, what with all the christo-fascism and all.

              WWJD?

              i’ll tell you what he’d do: he’d fashion the biggest whip the world has ever seen and whip the everliving daylights out of a lot of very bad people. than he’d make them pay their taxes, lol!

                The silver lining is that when someone tells me they’re religious, I know to be wary of them. Sure they could possibly be fine people, but they could also want their god to torture you for all eternity after you die just for not conforming to their world view. World lot those types, better to steer clear of them I say.

                  with the religious, one can only know two things: they hold irrational and false beliefs based on myth and which defy reality, and that some part of them - perhaps a large part - cannot be reasoned with. In my experience, this makes religious people both unpredictable and dangerous.
