I can't be the only one noticing that Putin's response to failure in
Ukraine is extremely Trumpian. 1. Deny that anything has gone wrong 2. Insist that your own decisions have always been perfect 3. Whine about cancel culture

No! Trump was a wildcard - a highly unlikely anomaly - a non-politician becoming the Leader of the Free World. His personality was what the political and diplomatic communities would call an uncouth ass.
He said and did a lot of strange things - many of them way out over the
top. Is he serious or is he bull shitting?
One thing he did well was to spot a swindle. He called out NATO members
for not paying their fair share. He said he was considering leaving
NATO. However, he wasn't taken seriously and basically nothing changed because they were sure that we would not pull out of NATO.
Trump pointed out to Germany that they were getting around 50% of their energy from Russia and therefore Russia had them by the balls, or in Merkel's case I guess it would be by the pussy. He was blunt and rude.
He could come across as a 285 lb Hulk talking to a 20 year old, 125 lb vegan.
The message was - "You exist in part only because we protect you and we expect you to do more in your own defense." And "If you fuck with us -
we win - you lose". The diplomats were gob smacked at the audacity of
Trump.
Trump kept world leaders confused and off balance - he might do
anything. Therefore status quo was a good option.
Now the US has basically withdrawn from NATO - it least in a leadership capacity. That became clear long before Ukraine. Germany decided it
couldn't depend on Brandon and needed to spend an additional $2 trillion
on defense. Brandon has done something that Trump failed at - scaring
NATO - What if the US wasn't there for us?
Trump was a competent, arrogant, and pushy asshole, but he was decisive. Brandon is a simpering idiot. That's not new but now it's different -
the wheel is still spinning, but the hamster is brain dead.
I paraphrase Brandon - I'm being told the Ukraine thing is going to hell
in a hand basket and I don't have a clue what to do now that the
sanctions didn't work, but I have united NATO.
If Trump was still in office WWIII might just be winding down - I
suspect Putin wasn't willing to take that chance.

Hey now, lets be fair. You're forgetting his biggest "accomplishments". He signed a big tax break for rich people. I'm sure
we'll all benefit from that.
And let's not forget his prediction that Covid-19 would just disappear.
"'It's going to disappear':
A timeline of Trump's claims that Covid-19 will vanish"
"https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/10/politics/covid-disappearing-trump-comment-tracker/"
It looks like I'll get my fourth Covid-19 inoculation next month
and my fifth one in the Fall.
My current favorite is the hard work the idiot is doing to get his buddy, Stacy Abrams, elected to the Senate.
"Trump threatens MAGA boycott of midterms at Georgia rally where the
'crowd is hardly applauding': report"
"Donald Trump took his revenge tour to Georgia on Saturday as he seeks vengeance against Republicans who did not help him staff in office
despite losing the 2020 election.
The former president is backing former Georgia Sen. David Perdue (R-GA)
in his campaign against GOP Gov. Brian Kemp and Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) in
his campaign against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Dawn White of 11 Alive news in Atlanta reported "former President Donald Trump has arrived to the 'Save America' rally in Commerce, GA. more than
an hour late. The crowd is still here."
Trump threatened his supporters would boycott the November general
election if Perdue loses the primary to Kemp.
"David Perdue, who is a wonderful man, and incredible family, and really
got screwed by Kemp, is the only candidate in this race who can beat
Stacey 'the hoax' Abrams this November. And you know the reason for that
is because Trump voters — MAGA — Trump voters will not go out and vote for Kemp," Trump said.
"They're not going to vote," he predicted."
At this point the polling has Kemp about 10 points ahead of
Perdue. An election boycott by the trumpis could be just what Abrams
needs to put her over the top.

The problem you liberals have with Trump is he is honest and he says
what he believes. Something you aren't used to in your democrat politicians.
