The art of the deal

[Riveting-]

Was that condition actually in the agreement?

They didn't "apply" to NATO and Biden didn't "approve" it. Biden doesn't speak for NATO.

If your argument is so strong why do you have to lie about the facts? Adding to that, you're lying on behalf of Vladimir Putin!!!!

It appears that MAGA has sided with Russia against Ukraine because........what? Biden supported Ukraine so you have to be against them? Or as you said, Trump just has to be right again. Get in line goose stepper.

The war in Ukraine might have been avoided had Crow made it clear the US did not support Ukraine joining NATO. To do so would either have prevented the war or else removed a major excuse for Putin to launch the invasion. As it is, Putin cites NATO expansion as a major justification.

I have told you this several times before but it must be too complicated for you to comprehend.

Joe told us it was just a minor incursion.

I comprehend fine. I don't believe Vladimir Putin. WHY DO YOU?

I don't give a flying fck what his "excuse" is. WHY DO YOU?

Putin wants to resurrect the old USSR and believes Ukraine is part of that. He believes there is no such thing as Ukrainians. They're all Russians to him. That's why he did it.

You said you read the WSJ. Read this.......with an open mind if that's possible.

The lyrics of the US Army Choir- Choosing an ultimate song of protest directly to the face of Donald Trump:

“Do you hear the people sing?
Lost in the valley of the night
It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light
For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest nights will end and the sun will rise

They will live again in freedom in the garden of the lord
They will walk behind the ploughshare
They will put away the sword
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!
One Day More!”

Trump flat out lied and Macron called him on it. They aren't loans president pinhead.

He has a bigger set than any Republican in congress.

I guess it was for Isis and Hamas too. Idiot.

I know you’re sympathetic to terrorists, but an act of terrorism is not the same as an act of war.

 

[bonefish1]

Tell that to the victims of 9/11.

You Trump lovers will justify anything and anyone to support Trump-sanctioned idiocy. Including becoming apologists for Putin the murderer.

You lefty libs love to side with the oppressed terrorists and try to justify terrorism because after all, if we were only nicer to them, maybe they wouldn’t hate us so much.

Choosing an ultimate song of protest directly to the face of Donald Trump:

I think just the opposite. They are looking for Trump to rid the world of the barricade and end fighting.

1. "In 1956, The U.S. Army Chorus was established as the vocal counterpart of The United States Army Band “Pershing's Own.” From its inception, the 34-member chorus has established and maintained a reputation of excellence in the performance of choral literature."
   
   

   ​

2. Do You Hear the People Sing? The song's title as a slogan in the 2014 Hong Kong protests.
   There are unofficial adaptations of "Do You Hear the People Sing?" in Cantonese and Taiwanese, intended as actual protest songs; better known versions include "Asking Who That Hasn't Spoken Out" (問誰未發聲), written in Cantonese for Occupy Central with Love and Peace, and "Lí Kám Ū Thiann-tio̍h Lán Ê Kua" (你敢有聽着咱的歌) in Taiwanese Hokkien.[8]
   
   The song can be heard in protests in Hong Kong as recently as September 2019, when students sang this song over the national anthem during a secondary school's opening assembly.[9][10][11] The song was initially removed on music platforms including QQ Music in mainland China because of its widespread usage in anti-extradition bill protests, while its English version was later removed from those platforms.[12]
   
   Aside from the aforementioned Cantonese and Taiwanese Hokkien adaptations, The Telegraph said that the song "has long chimed with people protesting around the world", adding that it was heard at the 2011 Wisconsin protests, the 2013 protests in Turkey, and a protest against the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Australia in 2013.[8] It has also been used by anti-TTIP protesters who have interrupted TTIP congresses as flashmobs singing the song.[13]
   
   The song was also used in support of the Maidan protests in 2014 by the group Ukraine 2020, who released a music video for the song on YouTube.[14]
   
   In 2016, the song was used as a protest song in South Korea's nationwide Park Geun-hye resignation movement.[15]
   
   In 2017, the song was translated into Filipino by theater artists Vincent de Jesus, Rody Vera, and Joel Saracho, and has been performed at rallies to protest the killing of activists and drug suspects under the administration of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte,[16] and again following the 2022 Philippine presidential election.
   
   Iraqis involved in the protests in 2019 also released a video with the song used.[17]
   
   In September 2020, a number of MSLU students in Minsk, Belarus, were detained after performing the song in the lobby of their educational institution. The students were protesting after president Alexander Lukashenko's disputed re-election.[18][19]
   
   In April 2022, the song was used as a protest song in 2022 Sri Lankan protests against the government of president Gotabaya Rajapaksa.[20]
   
   In April 2022, a clip of the 2012 film version of the song circulated on Twitter in protest of the lockdown during the 2022 Shanghai COVID-19 outbreak. The clip was ultimately blocked by the Chinese government to stop further protest.[21]
   
   In the 2024 South Korean protests over former President Yoon Suk Yeol declaration of martial law in the country, the song was used by various protest groups standing outside of the National Assembly.[22]
   
   On 22 February 2025, the US Army Chorus sang and performed the song at the White House Governors Ball hosted by Donald and Melania Trump.[26] The performance came after Trump pushed memes of himself as a king figure the prior week.

I know you’re sympathetic to terrorists, but an act of terrorism is not the same as an act of war.

ISIS took over and held vast areas of Iraq and Syria. That's an invasion. We were at war with them.

Using your ludicrous criteria because Vlad is just a misunderstood leader, that's just war.
