Is this a joke? Every time the Democrats try anything to improve the country, like say health care reform or an infrastructure bill, or nominate a supreme court justice it is obstructed to death by Republicans.

8% is not a large portion.

“But when push comes to shove he seems to have the right people’s backs.”

The current level of sanctions applied against Russia by so many countries dwarfs sanctions applied against any country you mentioned.

“what is the most desirable outcome”

Huh, strange take for a guy who just recently said “enough politics here.”

Keystone XL is not already built.

“Imagine if everything just goes spectacularly well for Ukraine and Russia agrees on returning to status ante quo like Iraq did after the first Gulf war, they’re still just gonna get choked out and painted into a corner like a scared rat?”

“Blows my mind how people can’t just fucking do the right thing.”

You mean Kyiv, not Minsk. And yes they do.

Did you see any other former president speak glowingly about Putin’s actions?

“Dipping into it so we don’t feel too much pain at the pump when Putin decides to risk WW3 doesn’t make any sense to me.”

He also suggested to me in another thread that I’m a socialist (?) and that he lived under a fascist government. Unless he happens to be a really, really old Italian, I’m not sure what planet he’s from either.
