You typically hate to see something like this, but not this time. That was pure evil in that copter.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Cool, guess I’m not voting this election. This is like a half step below offering condolences to Hitler.

You can spend an hour thinking of all the people they haven’t done this for or thinking about his butcher reputation and killing Americans and his people. This administration is a joke.

The grown ups are in charge. America is back.

Apparently we offered them for Stalin and Castro. Sounds like we said "sorry you died, you've got blood on your hands btw."

I don't know why we would do that for Castro. My guess is we did for Stalin because he helped us eliminate the worst human in the modern era.

I've never fully agreed with that sentiment. Nobody doubts Hitler was a seriously bad person, but I'm not convinced he was the worst of the 20th century. Stalin and Mao were both extraordinarily evil, power hungry, and killed more people... mostly their own! I've recently watched documentaries on Mao and Stalin, and they were both seriously messed up, evil men with no regard for human life. Both, in my opinion, made Hitler look like an amateur.

The argument I've seen is we didn't see what Hitler would have done with a win in WW2. Mao and Stalin killed but did it for more mundane reasons (kill some dissidents, mismanage an economy into famine).

Hitler just straight up set out to kill off every Jew, gypsy, and probably in the long term Slav in Europe. If he'd won you'd be looking at the Holocaust on steroids.

Fortunately Hitler lost so you "just" got Stalin set loose on Europe behind the Iron Curtain.

It’s really crazy. The sitting president can’t speak or walk and is probably running on cocaine chicken noodle soup. He’s running against a guy that has been living in a court room while he prepares for a debate and election. I have the date saved on my calendar. Could be the most interesting thing on TV in 2024.

You make some valid points. The only thing I'd disagree with is the mismanaging an economy into famine. Sure, there was some of that, but there was also - from both Stalin and Mao - some intentional famine inducing in order to kill off certain groups of people. Both of those ^&*^&#@ were just pure evil.

The US and Israeli negotiators were rightly pissed.

Yeah but NATO is the one that is goading Russia into a conflict and threatening their boarders. 🙄

Putin probably wants to claim the entire Baltic Sea.

I really do not like Trump but I have no choice to vote for him this election. This is the classic "Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" situation.

Nobody thought that the Biden administration would be this breath-takingly bad. Bad, yes, but he is historically bad.

About as effective as Afghans clinging to a cargo plane. Biden is only good for illegal migrants and student loan free loaders.

It's like they come up with ideas, but never think them through before implementing.

That's been their MO for decades.
