sovereign Ukraine as "an act of genius."

The former President often accuses his enemies falsely of treason,
but his own giddy rush to side with a foreign dictator who is proving
to be an enemy of the United States and the West is truly shocking
even by Trump's self-serving standards.

As President Joe Biden reprises the fabled presidential role of
leading the free world, the predecessor who wants to succeed him
(the twice-impeached ex-president who tried to illegally overthrow
the U.S. government, Donald Trump) is showing Putin that
impunity, dictator-coddling and hero worship will return
*if* he wins back the White House.

( Hint, hint: "Russia, if you're listening . . ." )

Trump also sent an unmistakable message to Republicans,
who are already playing into Putin's hands by branding the
current President as weak, that siding with a US foe is the way
into the ex-President's affections ahead of this year's midterm primaries.

Trump didn't take long to make sure Putin knew he approved
of his movement of troops into parts of eastern Ukraine, knowing
that his comments would be picked up and beamed around the world.

In effect, the ex-President is trying to undermine US foreign policy
as the current President tries to stop a war that could kill thousands
of people and threaten the post-Cold War peace.

This is dangerous for everybody, except those few in Trump's inncer circle.

Maybe Trump is hoping Russia will continue to interfere in our elections so he can win in 2024. It doesn't hurt his cause in that regard by siding with Putin in his illegal attack on Ukraine.

Well he got their help twice already, although the second time wasn't quite enough.

Trump praises Putin's 'genius' incursion into Ukraine

YAHOO NEWS -

Quid Pro Quo

In 2019, Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
to launch a scurrilous investigation of Biden because Trump
wanted to weaken his likely 2020 Democratic opponent.
When Zelensky refused, the Trump administration withheld
congressionally approved aid to Ukraine, which is illegal
according to the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office.
That resulted in Trump's first impeachment.

an_light Trump subsequently claimed — without evidence, and at odds
with *ALL* the evidence gathered by U.S. intelligence officials —
that it was Ukraine, NOT Russia, that had interfered in the 2016 election.

In Trump's delusional conspiracy theory, Ukraine did this
in order to "frame Russia."

And what was Trump's source for these claims? “Putin told me.”

One of the goals of Putin's pressure on Ukraine -- as he has made
repeatedly clear -- is to drive NATO back to its boundaries at the
end of the Cold War *AND* to divide the Western alliance.
But with Trump in power, the Russian leader didn't need to bother
with the latter goal, since Trump frequently berated
trans-Atlantic allies and cozied up to US enemies.

Ahhh that reminds me, I need to update the list....

AWESOME 1st yr for the Biden presidency!

? "Operation Ludicrous Speed" got the vaccines [specifically engineered only to combat the then dominant Wuhan-Strain of covid] mass produced, distributed and injected at incredible speed, saving hundreds of thousands of American lives!

? over 55+ Executive orders just in his first few weeks, to help heal America and reverse harmful policies of the prior disasterous republican regime

? passing and immediately enacting the *ABSOLUTELY VITAL* American Rescue Plan, to save families, businesses, and the economy from near collapse

? restoring American respect and prominence on the world stage nearly eviscerated by trump-regime, including the World Climate accords

? confronting both China and Russia, unlike the previous guy who embraced them, including pledging much greater aid to Ukraine in its standoff with a very aggressive Russia - and he didn't insist on any "quid-pro-quo" to dig up dirt on his political opponents

? got us out of a devastating and very costly war in Afghanistan, first started by the republicans 20 years ago.

? passing and enacting arguably the most profound inrastructure bill in several decades: the *VITAL* American Infrastructure Plan! MAJOR, needed legislation supported in a *bipartisan* vote

? massive and immediate aid to tornado-victim communites in 5 states (most of them red states)

? U.S. economy grew 5.7% in 2021 under Biden, fastest full-year clip since 1984, despite ongoing pandemic exacerbated by trump

? nominal wages and salaries were up 4.5%, the fastest increase since 1983! These increases bring nominal wages and salaries to 1.2% above their pre-pandemic trend under trump

? unemployment down to 4.0%

? PLUS a new record for jobs added in 1st year!! thumbs_up
