Trump touting this as proof tariffs work lol I work in economic development, and have had a hand in prepping sites for billion-dollar investments. This move wasn't decided over night, or when Trump was sworn in, or when Trump was elected. The due diligence alone would take longer than that...

That's... not how that works, you complete moron.

Except the US needs them just as much as the Europeans need the US. It's just the MAGA crowd that doesn't get that. We are heading towards a multi-polar world, and while there are scenarios in which China overtakes the US economically and militarily, there are no scenarios in which China even...

Sending Ukraine weapons that they couldn't use against Russians. https://www.businessinsider.com/republicans-leaving-out-key-detail-trump-javelin-sale-to-ukraine-2019-11?op=1

2016... when Trump called everyone on the planet a low energy loser, except Putin. When he hired Paul Manafort to be his campaign manager? That year?

Consider for a moment that my comment wasn't referring to every Trump supporter, but the fact that many of his supporters are supporting Russia solely because Trump, and increasingly conservative media, does.

You realize you're talking about Donald J Trump, right? The man has never let "I can't do that" get in the way. This is Mr. Build The Wall And Make Mexico Pay For It. He could walk out there tomorrow and say Russia withdraws to 2014 lines or he tells the Europeans to liquidate Russia's assets to...

Trump supports Russia, so Trumpers support Russia. That's all there is to it. He could just as easily order that frozen Russian assets--worth hundreds of billions of dollars--could be liquidated to pay for Ukrainian aid. But he's not doing that. He is Russia's bitch and always has been.

It goes like this: "Does the Ukrainian government want to continue the fight?" If the answer is yes, arm them.

Oh please. Surrender harder. There are no respected institutions who are suggesting that Russia has the ability to conquer Ukraine. None. There are no respected institutions that Russia has the ability to then occupy and pacify Ukraine. None. Just keep looking for a reason to roll over.

I just read the article and did not come away with that assessment. And since it was four months ago, you'd think there would be a host of articles saying that Uktaine is weeks away from imploding.

...continuing the arm Ukrainians to fight them? Is this is a serious question? This isn't a football game. There isn't a time limit. No respected outlet has suggested that Russia is on their way to victory. They need the US to stop their support of Ukraine for them to obtain victory. This isn't...

Zeihan is geopolitics for 10th graders.

You'd have to ask them. I grew up a Republican. Shove the whataboutism.

I haven't read "on the brink of collapse." No one respected is saying that. They are saying that Russia wants a way out because they are spending a lot of time, money, and men in Ukraine. So long as Ukraine wants to continue the war, the US and Europe should continue to arm them. It's a...

That's not what is happening, don't strawman this situation. Russia started the largest invasion in Europe since WW2 to prevent a country from westernizing... the invasion failed they are now desperate for a way out. It's just not that complicated. Russia doesn't have the ability to invade...

It is ridiculous to suggest this ends with WW3. If people are worried about large scale wars, they should be worried about nuclear proliferation. For 80 years, Europe and allies in Asia have been able to side with the US and get an ironclad commitment that American strength will keep the...

You do not know if Ukraine can or cannot "force Putin to capitulate." The Ukrainians should be the ones deciding if they want to continue the fight. Clearly, they want to continue their resistance to the Russian invasion. They don't need American manpower to do this, they need European and...

If you are the United States there are no downsides to continuing to support Ukraine. For something like 1% of a defense budget, we get to continue to punish Russian aggression and continue the post-WW2 standard of opposing wars of conquest... and significantly weaken one of China's only...
