6. The man is out to lunch. "And he (Putin) wasn't an enemy at that time."

As opposed to that he is an enemy now?

Btw Russia was kicked out of the G 8 after they invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea.
You remember the invasion of Ukraine that your man Mike Flynn gave the green light to.

Can Trump be a more of a toady to Putin? Btw part 2 he speaks like a 3rd grader with
his use of adjectives such as “many, a lot and really big” vs using words and complete
sentences to articulate ideas.

7. He claims it was Justin Trudeau who kicked Putin out of the G8 but

the Conservative Prime Minister Harper was in power when Putin got kicked out for attacking Ukraine in 2014. Trudeau was elected PM for the first time at the end of 2015. Second time Trump has said this. I wonder if he is going to scapegoat Trudeau for other things too. Nothing wrong with penalizing a war monger like Putin with less access to power.

Justice matters.

It's frustrating on many levels.

First, he doesn't really know what he is talking about. He has no knowledge of actual history, and acts like Russia was kicked out for no reason.

It's very insulting to think this man is willing to not take the time to learn what is really going on. He just watches some TV, listens to some FOX, and forms the same dumb conclusions as your average MAGA.

I find it to be very embarrassing to know this man is the leader of the US, and that enough of our citizens wanted to vote for this moron.

Plus, he's siding with Putin!

16. Trump is dyslexic so that is why he is so vague.

Dyslexics speak in vague ways and go with the gist of things. We counterpunch and pull down human constructs (like democracy or raw capitalism depending on which side you are on) and are good at things that take exploration of unknown facts but bad at managing facts once they are known. They are populists which is why Republicans have been running them since Reagan. Churchill, Napoleon, Hitler, Eleanor Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, JFK, Reagan, Bushes 1&2, and now Trump are all dyslexics of one kind or another. Hopefully people get tired of Trump's vagueness you talk about as they did with Justin Trudeau in Canada and Churchill (they voted him out in 1945 if you can believe it, just after he had won WWII).

when in fact Russia was kicked out because they invaded Crimea in 2014.

Dude has dementia and is gaslighting us. Both can be true.

10. Facts and history are so inconvenient to Krasnov. He just makes shit up and he is out to lunch too.

A fact is a statement or piece of information that is known to be true, verifiable, and based on evidence or observation. Facts represent reality and can be proven to be accurate. They are distinct from opinions, which are personal beliefs or judgments.

History, broadly defined, is the study and understanding of past events and their causes, encompassing various aspects of human society and culture. It involves the examination of evidence, the analysis of information, and the interpretation of the past to explain how things came to be.
