    I have no desire to talk to YOU about this. You have shown an inability to use any common sense.

    Putin had wanted to take Ukraine back since 2014. Nonetheless, Russia had no need to to anything aggressive under Trump as Trump was helping Putin. Trump was on the verge of leaving NATO, which would have given Putin the ability to do anything he wanted without any repercussions. When Biden took over, Putin had no other choice but to invade Ukraine in order to get what he wanted.

    This is common knowledge among people that understand how things work with Putin.

    Of course to all the people that believe in Trump being God, everything he did/does is better than anyone else. Continue to think the way you do. I have no desire to continue to talk to you. You do not have an open mind for data and facts. With you, it is all about kissing Trump's ass. I personally cannot stand the odor he exudes.

    Whatever you say. I have no desire to talk to anyone that refuses to see things as they truly are. You have lost any credibility with me. I know you do not care about that one iota, but I do.

    Go and talk to someone else that can believe what you say. I am not one of them. I have a brain that works.

    No, you have not proven yourself to be able to parse data and information correctly. I do apologize for saying this, but I have lost all respect for you and anything you have to say.

    Malpractice? I'm good with that. It applies to 535 people in DC, who continue to violate the constitution on a daily basis. We keep re-electing them, so we clearly approve of it.

    Trump demanded that NATO become stronger by forcing other countries to invest in the alliance. That’s hardly making it weaker.

    Trump bombed Russian backed Syria for gassing their citizens (while Obama allowed it to happen). If that’s helping them then yes I suppose I don’t have comprehension skills to your standard.

    You are right they wanted to take Ukraine since 2014. Yet the only president this far to scare them from taking land grabs was Trump. That’s a fact. Trump is the kind of crazy that scared the pants off of other crazies, and that’s obvious.

    All my life I have been a listener, a reader, and a person searching for knowledge.

    Whenever I find something I do not know, I am super happy as it advances my journey in life and that is my goal. By the same token, listening to misinformed information, blind ideological beliefs, and non common sense thinking is a negative that does not make me advance but makes me take a step back.

    The reality of life is that there is data and facts and there are beliefs. I deal with data and facts, beliefs are not anything tangible.

    Here are a couple of articles you should read and "try" to understand so you can better yourself as a person of reason
    As such and when facing a situation where this exists, I back off because there is nothing I can do to make a person that doesn't want to see, see. In addition, there is nothing for me to learn to keep my interest in the communication with such a person going forth.

    Not a very good poll. It ignores the fact that all POTUS surround themselves with advisors. The only competency a person needs is the ability to listen and make a decision. No leader can always make the right one.

    I come from a psychology background, so I ignore studies and "evidence/facts" based on emotions, unlike the Left.

    Tell me, what is, "Established Competence" in terms of making a person qualified to run for president, and who determines the criteria?

    You mean like all the rotten advisors that Trump hired that later got fired or quit because he was not listening to them?

    Biggest turnover in a president's cabinet in all our history.

    If they weren't doing their jobs according to his standards do you expect him to keep them on just for appearance sake?

    What I am saying is that Trump chose them. He is a rotten evaluator of talent and knowledge. Here, as much as with everything else, he was very incompetent.

    Trump was out of his environment in politics. As such he had to depend on others to put together a team. Do you really think he chose everyone without others making suggestions? I contend that some of those advising him were card carrying members of the swamp who only wished to cover for each other and cripple his administration. I think he learned from his mistakes and it's part of the reason why the swamp is desperate to keep him out of the WH. Personally, I believe he should let someone else drain the swamp. Just go golfing and enjoy what time he has left. Even if he was to run and win he will face the same resistance from both the Democrats and members within his own party that enjoy the way DC works. It's not really about the people. It's about power and money.

    You forget one thing about Trump, no one could tell him anything. He knew more than anyone else.

    Have you already forgotten?

    How can we ever forget, when people like you obsessively want to remind us?

    You call me being obsessive but don't say the same thing about Trump being obsessively egotistical?

    Why am I not surprised

    Whenever a thing or person dominates most conversations it's a clear indication of obsession.

    Yes you are right. Trump was always obsessive about everything. He was right, everyone else wrong, there was a witch hunt against him, the press was after him all the time, the Democrats are enemies, etc. etc. etc.

    All you're doing is confirming your own obsession by obsessively pointing out another's.

    I have never stated otherwise.

    I have always stated that I am obsessive about fighting incompetence and evil. It is my goal in life that when I die, I will be judged for what I did do right and not for what I did not do. Fighting people (like Trump) that represent everything I am against (immorality, lack of ethics, lack of principles and inhumanity) is an obsession in my life. It is what gives me a reason to live.

    Are you obsessive about anything? Or do you just live with no goal/objective in life?

    Obsession is good when it helps you to accomplish something worthwhile.

    So if someone can lead well into a disaster and/or crap results, that's the guy for you? I go for the one that delivers.
