Thank you Liz; that pretty much lines up with my understanding of the situation.
What did your man Trump do about them?
NOT A DAMN THING.
Yes, actually, he did.
By opening up drilling and making the U.S. energy independent, putting tarriffs on China, de-regulating businesses, enforcing immigration laws and strengthening border security, among other things, he saved us - at least temporarily - from the economic collapse that Obama and Biden started and are now finishing. And that was all pretty much with both hands tied behind his back by the Democrats.
Energy independence is a meaningless trope. He didn’t get the Keystone pipeline through did he?
Tariffs on China! Without any meaningful attempt to increase the production capacity of US industry.
De-regulating businesses! Are you out of your mind? I run a small business with my Son (electrical contracting), regulations proliferated during dick-heads administration.
Remember the “fill out out your taxes on a postcard BS”, that he boasted about?
My gross income is less than $30,00.00 a year, but I have to employ an accounting professional to avoid huge penalties from the IRS.
Border security??? He did nothing to stem the flow of desperate people from central and south america, and points all over the place: Africans, Russians, Arabs, etc, who are pouring over the border now.
The economic collapse that is coming will not be mitigated by Trump. He is a phony, a con-man, an egotistical BS merchant.
Incidentally; he had two years of a republican congress; had he had a clue of what was required
He was full of shit, and still is, his ego is driving him now, to all of our detriment.
Why is energy independence meaningless? We didnt have 4.30 a gallon gas with Trump. He got the Keystone pipeline started - Biden shut it down and is now begging the Arabs for gas.
What planet are you on?
Right! And Putin did not dare start a war when Trump was the leader of the erstwhile free world.
You set far too much store by Trump. It is just as likely that the Ukranian fascists were reluctant to commit genocide against the russian speakers of East Ukraine until their man was in office.
Putin probably felt that Trump was more likely to respond to diplomatic measures.

Dr Martin draws our attention to ANSER, an organization involved in Operation Warp Speed.
I have queried this - Dr. Martin on ANSER speech - elsewhere. Under another topic.Namely, “This Bow-Tie Has Magic Powers”.
