Former President Trump on Tuesday called Russia's recognition of two breakaway territories in eastern Ukraine a "genius" move ahead of its military invasion. In an interview on "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show," Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin's recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics in eastern Ukraine on Monday was "smart" and "pretty savvy." Following his recognition of the two Donbas areas, which are controlled by Russian-backed separatists, Putin moved in troops, which led to international condemnation. The former president, who has been teasing a 2024 presidential run, also released a statement on Tuesday arguing that "there was absolutely no reason that the situation currently happening in Ukraine should have happened at all."

Boy, we sure screwed Putin up.
 
Trump is a wannabe Putin.

I was posting here about Ukraine (2013) long before you came along.

Unless you're a newly minted Mod, don't worry about what I do here.
 
Sounds like The Donald and The Pute have won an easy victory .

Outsmarted the OP by a million miles and you cannot stand that .

The good news is that later they will be instrumental in clearing much of the swamp together and giving MAGA a chance -- something which is impossible while this dithering Dementia ridden and Commie controlled wretch remains .

The other 5 threads did not include the volume of orderly, pertinent and most salient and consumable info as contained in the OP you complain about.
