You misspelled "extreme democrats and extreme republicans"

I honestly don’t understand the implication here.  “Power move?”  How so?  

Trump:  “Hey look, we have B-2’s and F-35s.” 

Putin:  “yeah, I know.  Cool.”

Is the implication supposed to be “watch out, cause we just might use these against Russia?”  

Putin knows there’s zero chance of that happening.  Besides, I think he’s probably much more worried about drone swarm attacks, like the kind that took out most of his bomber fleet, than he is about fat Amy.

This is classic Trump.  Using the military as a symbol of strength to try to mask his weakness and ineffectuality.  Putin is going to get Ukrainian territory out of this, and Trump is pressuring Zelensky to surrender it to him asap.

But yeah, cool air show.  

“Vlad, look at these static display F-22’s.  Badass, huh?  …..Now, go enjoy the Donbas.”

I’m certain you realize we did the same thing in Tokyo Bay on 2 Sept 1945. Also made Mamoru and his delegation, aboard the Missouri, stand with their back to Tokyo and the Emperor to sign the unconditional surrender. All very public, purposeful, and emblematic.  But yeah a drone flyover would’ve been super duper epic, sucks we had to fly some fully loaded B-29’s and a shitload of fighters over the palace that morning instead of a few MQ-9’s to project American power.

This illustrates my point exactly. 

In your comparison example, we were at war with Japan.  We dropped nukes on them and forced their unconditional surrender.

Today, we’re not at war with Russia, and the “deal” that will be brokered will almost certainly result in Russia….aka. the enemy……seizing land from a sovereign nation.

And guys are acting like a fly by is some sort of flex of strength and power.  It makes no sense to me, and the downvotes and memes with no other comment tell me it doesn’t make sense to other guys either.

“Hey Vlad check out my Raptors… they don’t have drywall screws in their wings.”


There was more 5th generation air power on that Ramp and in the Air over that exchange than in Putin’s entire Air Force and he knows it. This was a reminder that not every NATO entity is full of smoke, maybe rethink the way you looking at Latvia and Estonia.

He stood tall on the Maginot Line.  He lead the attack on Pearl Habor.  Later, he fought off waves of Viet Cong during Tet all by himself.  He ended Gulf Wars I and II.  Donald J Trump, war hero, bone spurs and all.  Because if he said it, you know it's true.

Of course, there's Biden's false claims.  Just posting for balance, of course:

I didn't catch a quote of, "I'm a war hero" in that article, so not quite the counterweight you intend.  Got any other draft dodging Presidents spouting that claim?  Maybe Bush with his connections to get into the ANG and then do war in the aftermath of 9/11?  Maybe his "Mission Complete" stunt was like saying it without saying it?  I dunno.  You let us know if dumbass gets a pass on this one or not.

This just in.  Politicians are egotistical malcontents!  I don't care at this point.  Give me policies that move this country forward.  Border is shut down (without congressional intervention for the most part) and our foreign policy so far is exceeding what I expected.  Jury is out on the Trump economy approach but better than status quo.
