Congratulations. You are still alive, even though you are living with politics.

Trump's method of communicating isn't a problem for anyone except himself, maybe. Anybody who doesn't like it can stop listening.

Now you are simply lying. Trump didn't shoot or attempt to shoot anyone.

The videos show the Capitol police welcoming everyone in on January 6.

Trump was promoting free trade with Russia and the Ukraine and the US. Putin liked it. No war there.

Biden stopped the free trade with Russia. War is the result.

Putin doesn't want war. How do we know? He hasn't nuked the free world as he could if he were a war monger.

The whole thing is about bringing countries into NATO, countries that are bordering Russia. Quit threatening Russia. If there had been no serious threat to them, there would be no war right now, just like there was no threat to them with Trump.

Canada and Mexico have no strength to oppose Russia. If Russia moved into Canada or Mexico, and had friendly relations with them, wouldn't that irritate the US government?

Stop irritating Russia. Pull the US out of the Ukraine before the war goes worldwide with no chance of stopping it.

Did you have a good sleep?

Cool

Mostly. Unfortunately what Trump does affects the US and the rest of the world and it is not possible to ignore it. A few of the things you mention, like the "police was welcoming people" do not match with the police dead. Perhaps the party got out of control or what's the cover for that?

If Russia wants friendly relations with his neighbours that's what they should be aiming for. They failed and used violence (they did not get the chick and decided to rape).

Anyway, back to Ukraine. I hope you slept well too.

Time to look at the rest of the story. You are missing it.

'Russia Started the War' and Other Fallacies

So, why does the media keep repeating the lie that Russia started the war when it is clearly false?

The fact is, Putin sent in the troops to put out a fire not to start one. If ever there was a situation where the Responsibility To Protect (R2P) could be justified, it’s in east Ukraine prior to the invasion. 14,000 ethnic Russians had been killed before the shelling began. Should Putin have looked the other way and allowed another 14,000-or-so to be slaughtered without lifting a finger?

No, Putin did what he had to do to save lives and defend Russia’s national security. Even so, he has no territorial ambitions and no desire to recreate the Soviet Empire. His “special military operation” is, in fact, a defensive operation designed to remove emerging threats that could no longer be ignored. Putin’s 83% public approval rating proves that the Russian people understand what he is doing and fully support him. (A political leader would never garner that level of support if the people thought he had launched a war of aggression.)

Some readers might remember that –before sending in the tanks– Putin invoked United Nations Article 51 which provides a legal justification for military intervention. Here’s an excerpt from an article by former weapons inspector Scott Ritter who defended the Russian action like this:

...

That's why Putin's troops attacked and tried to conquer Kyiv, while "accidentally" murdering civilians, yes?
"special military operation" my ass!
You're delusional, my brainwashed friend.
