You supported the crooked lying fraudulent Trump who tried to overthrow our government. Trump weakened Ukraine and NATO and strengthened Russia, Iran and North Korea. Trump divided our country and alienated our allies.
Maybe instead of constantly criticizing our decent honest POTUS you should be united and work on solutions together.
Joe Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy in 2014 when Russia took Crimea.
Joe Biden was in charge of US Foreign Policy, including Ukraine, in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine.
Putin didn’t invade Ukraine unless Biden was in charge.
You got your facts a little wrong there, buddy.
Oh, by the way, Trump strengthened NATO by demanding GREATER funding by those who were under the 2% requirement set forth in the NATO charter.
Wow! You might want to free your mind instead!
D.H. is delusional. Trump was always in Putin’s back pocket, and if he were president now, he would have cheered on the invasion of Ukraine, just as he has done explicitly as ex-president. It is total fantasy to claim that Trump deterred Putin, that Trump strengthened NATO. Absolute crazy talk that defies the clear, fact-based reality of what actually happened when Trump was president and he withheld aid from Ukraine in an extortion scheme to try to improve his political standing. How are so many people so detached from reality? And with all due respect to Rep. Spartz, she was a huge Trump cheerleader even as he was harming her own native country. That is the absolute truth.
M.B. You are 100% correct. It’s just sad.
DH is delusional. I never remember Joe Biden being Secretary of State.
“Trump was always in Putin’s back pocket”. Base on… what? A phony Russiagate hoax that was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, for which one of her attorneys has already been indicted for lying to the FBI and CIA and Senate about?
Trump obviously deterred Putin through tough sanctions and tough policy to strengthen NATO. Why do you think Putin invaded Ukraine TWICE while Biden was in charge in 2014 and 2022?
Joe Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy as Vice President in 2014. “Inconvenient Truth” that you keep your heads in the sand on.
While Joe Biden was VP, he withheld billions in aid from Ukraine in order to have Ukraine fire its prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Why was Biden obsessed with getting the prosecutor fired? It’s possible that he did that because his own son Hunter was on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm known for corruption?
D.H., I will permit you to have the last word, since it is pure folly to get into an online argument over facts with someone who gets their facts from Fox News, OAN and the rest of the fact-free alternative universe. I will not bother to get into facts about what you say is a “Russiagate hoax,” since the majority of thinking people realize that it was a hoax only in the fantasies of Donald Trump and Bill Barr, it could not have been financed in 2016 by the Hillary campaign since the investigation didn’t even begin until 2017, and the indictment you mention is already falling apart under the scrutiny of daylight. Trump did not strengthen Russian sanctions, he reduced them. He did not strengthen NATO, he tried to destroy it. And as for Shokin, he was pressured out of office not because he was investigating corruption, but because he was interfering with investigations into corruption and his staff itself was accused of corruption. The pressure came not just from the U.S. but the EU and the International Monetary Fund. In fact, Shokin and his office were criticized not for investigating Burisma Holdings, but for slow-walking the investigation into Burisma that they inherited from an earlier prosecutor, and allegedly trying to solicit bribes from the targets. The U.S. and other Western powers wanted him to crack down on corruption, and he was not. In addition, the Burisma investigations pertained to allegations of incidents said to have occurred before Hunter Biden joined the board. So again, real-life facts do not support the fantasy you are trying to create. Now, feel free to contradict all of this with more fact-free allegations. I am done trying to refute delusion.
Steve,
Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump started in early to mid 2016, before the election.
In fact, one of the promulgators of the Russiagate hoax was Jake Sullivan, who in late October 2016, tweeted about the secret server connection between Trump and Alfa Bank, which was a 100% fabricated allegation from Hillary, Sullivan, Sussmann, and Joffe.
Jake Sullivan is now Biden’s NSC advisor.
DH should stand for Doofus Head with statements like these.
Nate, it’s not my fault you’re ignorant of current events by not following the indictments in the John Durham investigation.
Representative Spartz, we support you and your native land. Please remain courageous and steadfast as you lead our country to hopefully oppose the tyranny of the Russian dictator. Our prayers are for you and your native land.
Biden is playing right into Putin’s hands but why would that be a surprise to anyone. He is much smarter than Biden unfortunately and the USA and all the world will suffer due to his ineptitude. It is unforgiveable that in January of 2021 we were energy-independent under Trump, and now we are buying oil from Russia. The Dems are trying to spin the narrative but the truth is very obvious to anyone who can see and hear. God help us.
Don’t let facts get in the way, will you?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2021/11/14/is-the-us-energy-independent/?sh=45a6ae8e1387
..oh, and Putin is much, much smarter than Trump. Played him like a drum. Not in his wildest dreams could he have ever though interfering in the presidential election could have paid such dividends. Setting the table for….
Jolf, you do realize that Russiagate was a hoax perpetrated and funded by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in 2016, don’t you?
BINGO, Joe F. Right on.
With the US being the bogey man of Putin’s propaganda, the US has to step very carefully. As unhinged as Putin seems to have become, it would not take much for Putin to find justification to start lobbing nuclear weapons. Biden has done a wonderful job of leading the west in diplomacy.
I think history will eventually reveal financial ties between Trump and Russia, and eventually explain Trump’s Russian butt kissing.
Yeah……. great statemenship from Biden, whose inaction directly resulted in Ukraine being invaded by Russia.
Great idea to put sanctions AFTER Putin already invaded Ukraine. Biden is a moron, always has been in his 40 years of “public service”.
Amen. BIden has had to repair all the damage Trump did to NATO and get members to trust the US again and work together – and agree to sanctions that most probably will affect them more than us. We all know what would have happened if Trump was still president.
Jolf, are you serious? “We all know what would have happened if Trump was still president.”
Putin INVADED Ukraine with BIDEN as President. Putin INVADED Crimea with BIDEN as Vice-President in charge of Ukraine policy.
@ DH Rubbish. Biden was making sure he had a coalition before he charged in – and that he didn’t provoke Putin prematurely. Putin has got away with murder from both side of the aisle – Bush with Georgia, Obama and Crimea – and ” why would he…or was it why wouldn’t he ” Trump, who has less brains than my left foot. Which is not very smart…
“Provoke Putin prematurely”? What are you smoking? Putin INVADED Ukraine because Biden didn’t put sanctions on Russia before the invasion.
Putin invaded Crimea while Biden was VP in charge of Ukraine policy in 2014.
Putin didn’t try anything stupid while Trump was President. Leave it up to boneheaded Biden to screw up TWICE in 2014 and 2022. Amazing!
Biden screwed up Ukraine policy in 2014.
Biden botched the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
Biden botched the Russia invasion deterrence in 2022.
Who would have thought that electing a moron as stupid as Biden to President could have resulted in multiple foreign policy disasters, runaway inflation not seen in 40 years, 2 million illegal immigrants coming over the border in 12 months, record high murder rates, and violations of human rights of American citizens en masse?
Putin alone is responsible for invading Ukraine. It has been years since America has had a strong president because both parties put up candidates that play to their extreme bases. Trump was a Putin loving~ all talk president surrounded by at least some competent folks until they resigned or were fired. Biden is at kind, not especially strong, but not an authoritarian lover like Trump. Neither are best America has, but neither are responsible for the evil that Putin is subjecting Ukraine to at this time.
But let me add~ it’s time for Americans to be United.
You are right: Putin alone is responsible. But let’s not delude ourselves: Trump was so “loving” of Putin that he bombed Putin’s troops in Syria in his first year of office. So Putin loving Putin that he imposed energy sanctions (Nord Stream)…which Biden then lifted.
Trump is a sleaze bag for whom I genuinely have no great fondness. I find his personality largely repellent. Because he seemed of such dubious moral character, I genuinely believed the Mueller investigation would turn up dirt. But, after making #45 the most investigated president in modern history, most of which yielded nothing (and certainly nothing regarding Russian collusion), I did something that the other TDS suffers here seem incapable of doing: I admitted I WAS WRONG.
All of the ideologues making their cases here are blinding themselves to the fact that the Crimea annexation took place during Obama’s term, and now this. If trump were so “Putin loving” wouldn’t Putin want to invade during a US puppet presidency because there’d be far less pushback? Why wait until now?
Biden may not be an “authoritarian lover” but he seems to be an enabler. And if China invades Taiwan (as seems increasingly likely) and Biden continues to raise his fist as the clouds, it’s hard not to think he’s hesitant to get tough…because these Sino/Ruso authoritarians have dirt on him, as well as his many financial interests.
But sure, let’s just come together while the media churns out partisan propaganda 24/7, hair-triggered to keep us divided. A certain unsavory character correctly observed who the true “enemy of the people” is–and this enemy is far sleazier than he has been.
Lauren~ 100% agree.
I’m sorry Lauren~ The dis before the agree didn’t get typed. Peace to you~ but no~ I do not agree. However, that’s not important. American unity is important now more than ever and so are the innocent lives in Ukraine. I pray our country comes together and remembers division is what Putin wants.
Leslie, if you want unity, you should be asking why Biden is calling half of America “white supremacists” and racists.
If Trump were president, one really does not know what he would do.
When Trump was president he ‘played’ into Putin hand to assure Ukraine would not move away from the Russiasphere. Despite mind-control social media that has many US citizens in a trance of misinformation and denial, #45 lost fair and square.
Indeed it is time for the US to be united and to seek with other allies a means to address this Ukraine crisis. It is clear, this invasion is wrong. The US, however, is not the world controller and must work with others.
I applaud Rep. Spartz. Biden is weak and crooked (and also senile). Trump was crooked but not weak. I’ll choose the latter all day long.
+1.
And the honest truth is fiscal libertarian and pro America constituents like me see through the scam that is Spartz.
Just wake up already everyone.
Good analysis, Michael Q.
So you prefer a LYING, GRIFTING, CORRUPT prezident who is no better than Putin. donald Dump loves his dictators, but they all know he’s a FOOL…
Putin is a man that understands and acts on weakness. Although Trump had his share of misgivings has was not weak. This invasion would not have happened under his watch. Rep. Spartz is a woman of character, we need more like her in congress.
Oh man… Reading these comments is just really disappointing. I wonder, and fear, what it would really take to get Americans to agree on anything.
I appreciate Representative Spartz’s concern for her home country, and I share it, but I don’t see how her comment that what President Biden “is doing to this country and the world is unforgivable” is at all helpful. It seems that all the Republicans can offer is that President Biden should have enacted sanctions before Putin invaded Ukraine, as if a pro-active economic strike would have deterred Putin. It just seems to defy logic to me. Parents don’t punish children to prevent them from doing something wrong; rather they threaten the punishment to prevent the unwanted behavior, and then impose the punishment if the unwanted behavior occurs. What would be the incentive for Putin to not invade Ukraine if we had already imposed massive economic sanctions on Russia, Putin, the Russian oligarchs et al?
While your point about parents punishing children is true, Biden lifted Russia sanctions that Trump imposed, Paul. Could we at least infer that those Nord Stream sanctions might have been long-overdue punishment for Putin’s actions in Crimea?
You could infer that. I’m not sure that it is the business of our country to try to prevent a pipeline in Europe though. I suppose you would argue that the Biden administration’s waiver of the Nord Stream 2 sanctions gave Putin the idea that he could get away with a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But if that were true, wouldn’t he now turn back after having all these sanctions imposed? If the sanctions would’ve prevented the invasion, they also should have the effect of reversing it.
You say their pipeline is their business, but our politicians go over to Europe to tell them to turn off their nuclear and coal plants so they can use unreliable solar and wind and use Russian gas for baseline energy production.
Europe put themselves at the mercy of Putin through their green energy delusion at the behest of clueless US politicians.
If Trump was President he would have sold Ukraine to Russia.
Actually, if Trump was president, and he was, Russia wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine, because he didn’t.
Biden completely screwed up the Afghanistan withdrawal, resulting in 13 US Marines being murdered, and Putin realized that Biden is a bigger moron than he was in 2014 when Putin took over Crimea.
‘Hard to imagine Biden being “a bigger moron”: than in 2014, D. H., but he has indeed accomplished it.
BINGO. Money is donald Dump’s deity…
Pray for peace.
Amen
She didn’t escort President Biden. She disrespected him.
No she didn’t disrespect Biden. She said what a lot of people were thinking! He DOES need to “get his act together” and actually lead for a change….
Now Rep. Spartz is brought into the room and has to join the grown up’s table. It’s a world where problems are complex and the decisions are never perfect. It’s a world where issues have nuance that require assimilating some facts that can be known but many more data points and anecdotal input that aren’t so concrete. The best decision today might be made differently tomorrow. You know, grown up stuff.
Got his act together facts for the last 14 months:
S&P 500 Index at record highs 12-10-2021
Keeping fixed mortgages at 3.1% 12-9-2021
Consumer Spending increasing to 13.9 trillion 10-1-2021
Debt to GNP Ratio dropping 9% from 2020 to 2021
Unemployment levels at 4%. There is an actual labor shortage
GNP reaching all-time highs 9-1-2021, from a negative 19.2 % July 2020 (Trump)
NASDA increased 12751 to 16057 from 11-2020 -11-2021
Dow Jonex Industrial Average Index (year to date 12-2020-12-2021) up 17.53%
Itel, Samsung & other Computer Chip Firms ReShoring new manufacturing facilities
The largest successful airlift since the Berlin airlift with “no” operational casualties (despite a extremely shitty agreement dumped on him)
Investments of tens of $Billions into new EV – Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Complexes
Unifying all the NATO countries together (with many neighbors) confronting Putin and imposing painful sanctions
All without “Grand Standing”!
What the hell has she accomplished in the same time line?
Inflation at 15-30% annually negates any “increase” in price.
Please learn about real vs nominal dollars to understand that Biden is responsible for the worst inflation trends in 40 years.
BS, DH. I suppose you think Biden created inflation for the entire world…
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to F things up.
1.Afghanistan
2.Inflation
3.Border Policy
4.Energy Independence/Gas prices
5.Employees “Real Wages”
6.Supporting such an extreme legislative policy even democrats won’t support.
Trump was a mouthy A-hole, but had great policy achievements. Biden inarguably gets an “F” on 1-6. Afghanistan was the biggest US foreign policy debacle since the Vietnam pullout. And leave it to Joe to bring back Jimmy Carter style inflation. Now Ol’ Joe is now reuniting the former Soviet Union. What’s next for Joe gas lines? Maybe another “Great Depression? I’m not a huge Trump fan, (at least he’s not a socialist) but leave it to Joe to bring Trump back as President.
