Aside from Musk having so much amassed power, it is insane that the richest person in the world, US government official and most influential advisor to the POTUS is debating vitally important issues on social media like a 15-year-old … “I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat over Ukraine” is disgustingly unserious.

Fair points.

That said, the current arming of Ukraine -- at least in degree -- is unprecedented for America. Given that, it is hard to say what any former American president would have done if that person could have been transported to 2022. I suspect the policy would have mirrored Biden's but maybe Reagan would be a little more cowboyish.

I've been paying close attention since the Carter years. The President that would have seen the Ukraine danger the quickest and done the most would have been Bush the father. He would have handled it exactly the same as Biden, except he would have flooded Ukraine with weapons. Wouldn't have been a wussy about it. He knew how to handle the Russians.

Now, for most of his Presidency George W. Bush listened to Dick Cheney. So what would he have pushed for?

Reagan in the 80's had a different situation so he would have tempered his response. But Reagan today, with a weaker Russia then he had to deal with might be pretty cowboyish in response. Plus, I don't ever remember a case where Reagan turned his back on a people who were actually resisting and fighting.

Does anyone find it odd, that of all our neighbors that Trump goes after, that he seems to leave Cuba out of the discussion?

Greenland, Panama Canal, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, to name a few.

He reversed most policies on Cuba on day one and left Rubio to handle that as part of his portfolio.

If true, this signals a long term to permanent decision to deny further aid to Ukraine.
 


We really are going to become a BRICS country. Hard to believe.

Thank you. So I gather he hasn't ignored Cuba. But its odd he doesn't talk about taking it over. Perhaps Putin wouldn't approve of going that far.
