    This is bullshit. At the time it was a hypothetical before Russia attacked the Ukraine.

    You brought up Ukraine which means you brought up Russia.

    Trump is using scare tactics to get NATO countries to pay their fair share similar to how Obama and Biden preached to us to pay our fair share.

    No, what Trump is doing is nothing similar.

    That's why NATO's Secretary General is coming out publicly to reassure our allies.

    How many times has this happened since the end of WW2?

    Never.

    And you're defending this traitor.

    LOL...traitor. Get new talking points. No one has been charged with treason, starting an insurrection, or even peeing on a bed.

    And with the skillful precision of a surgeon, you avoided answering my question to you.

    If another country's attacked us, would we consider that terrorism?

    Russia infiktrated our cyber security networks in 2019/2020. Many experts called it thebworst hacj in American history.

    Our executive branch didn't really do much and pretty much just accepted it.

    He said

    “No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.“

    yes he did say he would encourage an enemy state to do whatever they want, not limiting military activity, against allies. Yes he did say that

    I saw an article that China has persistently attacking our networks for 5 years. Who was president at the beginning?

    I'm more concerned about what actions our executive has taken when thee things happen.

    But anyway, your original question was about Russia and then you pivoted to China.

    Persistent for five years you say. What has Biden done knowing Xi has been ‘persistently’ hacking us for that long, you know, deep into his presidency?

    I would say, in this case, his own worst enemy actually killed him...
    This statement is so undeniable, blatantly, enemy-of-the-state territory that even the most loyal Trump supporter can not deny it's danger.

    Your preferred candidate for President of the United States suggests Russia should attack Europe, thus most likely unleash a nuclear war that will also engulf the United States.

    Would you still vote for the guy...??!

    But then, Trump loyalists are nothing but self destructive. They would continue to vote for Trump even if he proclaimed to start a nuclear war himself!

    He's done more than the previous administration did.

    Yeah, he gave Putin a list. Your own post says it's been going on for five years which means Biden didn't stop it. How partisan can you be when it comes to admitting the truth?

    It's not enough that he has created major chaos in one nation, he has to do it on the world stage and accommodate dictators like Putin.
    Do folks even realize how concerned most of the civilized nations are , about the possibility of another Trump term?? As they should be.
    Not that the Trump crowd gives a darn. It seems they only think of themselves and what they think Trump will do for THEM.
    A major power , to be truly effective , does not behave this way. With that much responsibility , it has to be very wise and knowledgeable about what and how it is doing things, and saying.
    Trump indicates again, where his "loyalties" and "interests" lie. ( with other dictators who ,like him salivate for absolute power)
    Trump has become America's Achille's Heel

    Not sure the idea would occur to them, but if Trump did it, they most likely would support him as they have through al l his destructive actions. Whatever "rationale" he would provide for this would portably be acceptable to them.

    All he is doing is offering up mixed messages. There is NO consistency or REASON to his answers.

    The only point that came out of this is that he is a big fat BULLY. ( and wants to play "enforcer" to get them to pay.(without any consideration of whet state each of the allies are in , given that the whold is just beginning to regroup from a world wide pandemic. (which affected every nations finances)
    Trump missed his calling. He would have been a perfect Mob Boss.

    So Biden has been president for 3 years. I'll ask you what was done the first 2 years.

    are you saying the op title is a lie?

    from the article (I do have to say, Ironic of Trump to attack others for not paying their bills)

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...a-to-attack-nato-countries-who-dont-pay-bills

    "“I said, ‘You didn’t pay, you’re delinquent?’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”"

    To T group, he is not a traitor, he is their second coming and all time patriot. (even though bone spurs "prevented him from truly being a true patriot )
