Afghanistan in the 1980s didn't have any cards but they played it tough and, with US help, they brought down the entire Soviet empire. Yet our President doesn't think that precedent is in Putin's mind as leverage?
In the real world. Not in Trump's.
For those posters who keep saying we should cut our aid to Ukraine because they will never get their land back anyway, we should bring up this example. Our aid helped end the cold war. Huge bargain.
Whoa.......while I normally applaud and appreciate forward thinking, I kinda think liberals (and the rest of America) need to be 100% focused on containing Trump's Kingship and Dictatorship urges.
It doesn’t matter if we can’t promote an alternative. How did we get here and where do we go are important questions for all of us to consider. I’d think we’re capable of holding two thoughts in our heads at the same time. Failure to consider these questions during the Biden administration was disastrous.
Well, if we are talking about Biden/Democrat disasters..........I'd say failure to contain, stop Trump might have gotten overlooked while focusing on other things.
One of the ways Trump was able to win was via his campaign message on Ukraine and Palestine. Reckoning with the failures of liberal foreign policy is crucial.
It's more like Mitch McConnell kneeling down and thinking that the Supreme Court he jerryrigged would do his job on stopping Trump. If there's a culprit for the rise of King Drumph it's Mitch McConnell.
