Back in the 60s, Nikita Kruschev said “We will never win a war with the United States. To defeat them, we must do it from within.” If anyone doubts that Trump and his accomplices in the GOP aren’t agents of Russia, they are in severe and fatal denial.

Was't Kruschev the one who also said, "We will bury you"?

I believe so. Trumps bromance with Putin calls into question Trump’s actual intentions. He is clearly doing all he can to destroy this country. Will our Democratic elected officials let him get away with it?

Yes. He also said that they would never win a war with America. He said the way they will win is from inside. Any questions about Donald Trump being Putin‘s puppet? I think we got our answer in the 1960s

Because of the Jake Sullivan and former CIA director Bill Burns, Ukraine was not given even 1/3 of what the USA promised to give them on time (in 2022), was given less than 1/20 of what the US could have given.

Why? Because Biden was too slow to jail Trump and to help Ukraine.

Biden's program was to spare Russia from losing their war in Europe, while keeping Ukraine afloat and sovereign. -- Such a mid position is never positive, it's always goes pro-aggressors. Now we have Trump who joined Putin in his war in Europe. https://substack.com/@valeriiterentev/note/p-161590879?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=1npyai

It wasn’t up to Biden to jail Trump. That is the role of the DOJ. There is supposed to be a separation of powers between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government. AG Garland was slow. The whole Jan 6 investigation dragged on and on while the DOJ went after the rioters, but never held Trump accountable. Then Merchan didn’t do his job either. The failure was not with Biden. It was the job of the judiciary to arrest him. Both from the national level and New York.

Yes, it was not… But Biden was the system, and Garland and Sullivan were part of that system. Biden built that system.

Valerii, The system was built by our founders. Biden couldn’t legally or ethically interfere with the justice system. Unlike the fascist in office today who wants his tiny hands in every aspect of government. That’s not how our democracy works.
