I listened to the interview before commenting. I still think it's as simple as that.Halifax2TheMax said:Sorry, it’s not as simple as that. When a transcript is provided, you’ll see how hard Hannity tries to get him to say or agree that Putin on the ritz is evil or responsible for vast amounts of human suffering in Ukraine and POOTWH can’t utter a bad word about him. That’s not admiration nor admirable, particularly when 90% of ‘Muricans think Putin on the ritz is the enemy. There’s more to it than admiration of dictators.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

no doubt that was a fear, but mainly because of how volatile he can be and the lack of restraint in saying what is on his mind. I mean, he was poking NK over Twitter, for crying out loud.JB16057 said:I don't know but what I do know is that Trump didn't start WW3 like everyone said he would. We now have both Putin and Kim Jong-Un acting out and we are stuck in the middle of it. It's only a matter of time before China does the same and then our situation will only get worse.Make fun of Trump all you want but at least he had open lines of communications with other world leaders. Yes, other world leaders can be dictators but they still need to be given respect because they have nuclear power. Saudi Arabia wouldn't even take Biden's phone call.
I don't believe for one second that putin wouldn't have done this if trump was still in office. it was all about timing, not leadership. he would have had an easier time, I think, had trump been in office. I don't think trump would have lead the way with sanctions and condemnation like biden did. I think that's why putin wanted trump in office in the first place.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

We can also assume that Putin didn't invade Ukraine while Trump was in office because he knew Trump wouldn't allow it to happen. Once again, this is only an assumption and doesn't really matter.Trump doesn't have restraint but it is not an assumption that he didn't start WW3, that is a fact.0 -
yes, assumptions based on how he operates. trump wouldn't allow it to happen? what would he have done? nuked the kremlin? called him names on twitter? I'm honestly glad vlad didn't invade when trump was in office. I see it going one of two ways: WW3, or Trump would have let putin do what he wants, NATO country or not.JB16057 said:Those are assumptions.

They’re playing republicans and their voters like a fiddle. No reason to do these things now vs last administration other than what it contributes to undermining our democracy and empowering wannabe fascists.JB16057 said:I don't know but what I do know is that Trump didn't start WW3 like everyone said he would.

Respect us earned, not given under nuclear threat.0 -
what does that even mean? you don't think this has merit just because it's an editorial?JB16057 said:Lol. Opinion pieces are not news.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
I could post opinion pieces all day long but I choose not to because they are ONLY opinions. Sure, they have facts riddled in their but it is not a reliable news source. Opinion pieces are dangerous in that some believe they are all fact based.The Juggler said:Oh. But your incoherent post is to be taken as fact. hahah. Gotcha!

You are not making any sense. Of course it will be an opinion on whether or not Trump's policies made what Putin is doing easier or not. I am guessing you disagree with the article? Now, you realize that is an opinion you are taking...right? If you would like to refute this notion, I would be all ears. But seeing as how you've declined in multiple posts already, I am assuming you are unable to do so.JB16057 said:I could post opinion pieces all day long but I choose not to because they are ONLY opinions.

Also, there are such things as expert opinions. Judging by the author's resume here, I'm thinking she knows more about this subject than you. Could be wrong though! Would love to hear you refute it.Jessica Pisano is an Associate Professor of Politics at The New School for Social Research. She writes and teaches about contemporary and twentieth century politics in Eastern Europe. Her work focuses on the enclosure of public resources, the constitution of material and social power, and political and social processes of dispossession. She asks how shifts in political economy affect people's lives, and how those effects translate into changes in local, national, and global politics. Her research is interdisciplinary, drawing on archival sources as well as a variety of immersion-based methods, including participant-observation research.

All that I am saying is that opinion pieces are only that. They can include facts but an opinion is still only an opinion. I can post plenty of opinion pieces on why Trump is a better president than Biden but I don't because they are opinions. That's my point. I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense to you.The Juggler said:You are not making any sense. Of course it will be an opinion on whether or not Trump's policies made what Putin is doing easier or not.

I'm on page 4 of my google search and can't find anyone with any credentials that wrote any such piece.HughFreakingDillon said:I'd like to see these. I could always use a good laugh.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
HughFreakingDillon said:I'd like to see these. I could always use a good laugh.I know you would and they are a waste of time. That brings up another good point. This message board will only tolerate opinion pieces that they agree with. If I had posted opinion pieces, I would be told that opinion pieces do not matter. I've been tempted to do so many times but id didn't because of that reason.How often do you think opinion pieces get mistaken for factual news?

There is a difference between experts forming a conclusion based on years of study and all available data and an opinion piece.JB16057 said:I know you would and they are a waste of time.

Oh. Okay. So it seems like you are declining to state your opinion on how Trump's polices did not make it easier for Putin to invade Ukraine....in essence and ironically, agreeing with the article.JB16057 said:All that I am saying is that opinion pieces are only that.
