not sure how much more i need to say it. trump is the worst disaster to happen to the us. does he support putin? only when it benefits him. trump doesn't give 2 shits about anything but himself.
as for this not happening with trump in charge, lol. russia was in ukraine the entire time trump was in office, and trump did nothing. actually, trump did do something, he withheld congressionally approved funds to support ukraine (helping putin), and did so only at the goal of his own personal gain (not losing election). he also attempted to get us out of nato (something putin so desperately wants). he did issue some minor sanctions and several statements condemning russia, so there's that i guess.
only reason it might not have happened with trump in office is if putin thought trump would pull out of nato, and he would wait until that happened.
again, trump doesn't (edit: said does, meant doesn't) support putin. he doesn't give a shit about him or russia. doesn't give a shit about ukraine either. and really doesn't give a shit about usa. trump cares for trump only. and will do only what he thinks is in his best interest.
fwiw and before you say anything about it, i don't like biden either. but i do think he's handled this situation fine so far. at least based on info i can tell. but i'll take a potted plant over a corrupt bitch anyday.
this part me lol. literally. Biden is
fantastically corrupt. he didn't get the nickname, the senator from MBNA for no reason, I mean we could go on for days about his blatant, out in the open corruption. His son was getting paid
$83,000 a month from a Ukrainian energy company- while his father was Vice President of the United States and appointed by President Obama as head of Ukraine policy- while Ukraine was effectively a US colony post a coup the US backed, supported, and propped up which overthrew a democratically elected government. Euromaidan was not just some demonstration that organically spread like wildfire and democracy sprouted like a rose from the concrete from it - it doesn't go full overthrow without direct US support and meddling. Dude was HEAD of Ukraine policy in a US puppet/client/colony - and dudes son was getting
$83,000 a month to sit on the board of a Ukrainian energy company. Not to mention the guy f**king openly brags about forcing US client state to fire a prosecutor who just so happened to be investigating said energy company that was paying his crack head son
$83,000 a month.
Speaking of congressionally approved funds going to Ukraine - you do realize that a good chunk of those funds have gone to neo-nazi organizations, right? The state department- which classifies the Azov Battalion as a nationalist hate group - and Congress approved funding to these people.
Trump is a bully. He knows how to deal with bullies. He stroked Putin's ego, tried to get along with him. Biden refused to talk to the guy at times. I believe he's refusing to talk to him right now. You make peace with your enemies, not your friends. Only way you can do that is by talking to your enemies.
And Trump never attempted to get the US out of NATO. He openly talked about- all while bashing Western Europe for not spending on defense and buying Russian energy and not American energy. I've linked a video below, it's a great watch. Trump sent lethal arms to Ukraine. Something even Obama (correctly imo) wouldn't do. Trump deported more Russian officials and oligarchs from US soil than did Obama. Trump imposed more and tougher sanctions on Russia than did Obama. Trump tried like hell to block NordStream2.
Who knows what would happen if Trump was in charge. There is no way to know. Unless the issue of Ukraine/NATO was settled- the same thing would likely be happening. NATO expansion has been a sour point for Russia for decades- and it's finally come to head and blown up.
