Now, I know he stopped funding for the wall...but I would love to know if you had a source for he "dismantled" Trump's wall other than re-tweets from Giggle Palozza.

What damaged relations are you referring to? As Lou pointed out his policies allowed Russia to invade Ukraine. Just like his policies led them to take Crimea when he was VP.

On Iran. Hi, I’m the real world. They likely already have it. Maybe you should have Kerry windsurf over there again…

Maybe Biden can have the Chinese fly a balloon over the mts in Iran instead of our airspace. Oh, and let’s not forget Biden turned the Taliban into one of the best equipped militaries in the world.

I’d like to think he’s doing this on purpose because nobody can be that stupid. Or maybe the problem is his supporters are.

Keep waving those Ukrainian flags!!

Know you're rooting for the Ruskies but they are losing big time. Videos show them fleeing all over and their top General says they are losing the war. This when Ukraine has not even begun their summer offensive.

No one is rooting for Putin. I hope the people of Russia and Ukraine people are able to get back to their lives. The Russians and the Ukrainians have been through enough steaming, hot political nonsense for over 100 years.

I’m rooting to stay out of it. The way to beat Russia is by crippling the Bear economically with US energy.

I find it very curious that those who were so anti-war 20 years ago are so hawkish now.

I’m old enough to remember when Ronny Ray gun (as he was called by the likes of you) was going to start WWIII. He didn’t and the country did well through the Clinton years. My point, you peddle in fear. Always looking for a boogeyman to further your agenda.

Check back with Giggle Palooza if he was your source. There doesn't seem to be any credibility to claims Biden dismantled any of the wall.

Arizona and Texas had erected shipping crates to try to fill in gaps in the wall. Biden ordered those to be removed leaving large gaps.

Thanks MOR, I didn’t think I’d have to source common knowledge.

But hey, we’re making a difference when it comes to ceasing the climate from changing (fools errand).

Really, Boobie, this is the conclusion you ended up with?

It's funny how you "edited" out the portions of my post that explained how the Russians could be defeated. But we all know, that's how you libs do news and debates.

Maybe, if we use your logic, we should assume you're also getting rich off the smoldering bodies of dead Ukranians as well, right?

It’s interesting that a Republican warned us about the Industrial-Military complex. Well, he was a General after all. :)

If only he listened to Patton on Russia….

It saddens me we’re still fighting our Granfather’s wars that they themselves wanted no part of.

I really didn't understand Ike's comments / or thought the Industrial-Military complex was more or less conspiracy. But in recent years it's become plainly clear to me that Ike was spot on. In fact, I would argue that every war beginning with Vietnam was foisted upon us by the Industrial-Military complex (Deep State / Security State / Permanent DC). I no longer look at America with the rose-colored glasses I used to.

PS - I'm assuming you were joking on the Patton comment - that would've been a total blood bath. Like today, I don't think we could've won a war like that unless we used nukes.

What Bobbie and others fail to forget are the lessons of Hitler and Napoleon in Russia.

Shipping crates...the new wall. Sure.

Yep exactly which goes back to my original comment that everyone “spins,” not exclusive to msm or one side of the aisle.
