Strike. Singular. Cuz in a couple months Trump will take over and put that on ice.
Biden could do a whole lot more – but won’t.
Too little, too late. If Biden wanted to salvage his reputation at all, he’d have to do a hell of a lot more than authorizing something Ukraine has been asking for for a long-ass time now.
He should transfer like a trillion dollars of military equipment. It’s an official act, so he’d be immune from prosecution.
How many nukes is that, because that’s probably what it would take.
I’m not a fan of proliferation of nukes to an unstable region.
But top-tier stealth fighters and bombers, anti-aircraft systems that can track hundreds of miles into Russia, tanks, a navy, and all the guns, bombs, armor, and electronic warfare equipment they’ll accept sounds good.
Hell - give them the classified future-tech shit.
Make the Ukraine the best-equipped military in Europe with the stroke of a pen.

Why’s it unstable?
I bet it’s lack of nukes.
I’m all for driving out Russia and making Ukraine free. But the reality is that it will have problems with political stability after this war, and with unstable countries veering right these days, the last thing we need is a fragile country with a right-wing nut job next door to its enemy armed with nukes.
Nukes are a great deterrent as long as nobody uses them.
I get what you are saying, but nukes are to prevent war not to be used as a defense.
Ukraine should just never have dismantled their nukes in the first place.
A better method would be to just allow Ukraine into the EU even though “not being at war” is one of the prerequisites.
They did, on the promise that they would be taken care of. The moral of the story is, if you have nukes, you have to keep them now.
Nah man. I won’t refer to Biden as anything, but the man who had the power to stop trump but never did
Why blame Biden for Trumps actions?
I think you misunderstand. I just won’t be calling Biden “uncle Joe” or the like because he has all the information and power in the world to have brought trump to justice, but didn’t
How could he bring Trump to justice as a president?
Could’ve shot him in the face and then got a presidential pardon. Jokes aside, so many people overestimate the power of the US president.
I mean, didn’t the supreme court literally make it legal for the president to assassinate political rivals? Biden just didn’t have the stones to drop those fascist fucks into a black site.
I read somewhere that decision only applies for that specific instance. Meaning it was only for Trump.
I don’t think Biden would want to be the one to start that habit
This is how I see it. I doubt trump hesitates.
Except a MAGA congress gets to determine if it was okay.
How is it still a MAGA Congress? All the MAGAt politicians have become landfill.
It’s fun that your answer to fascism is fascism but with a guy you prefer.Did you notice the second sentence starts with ‘jokes aside’
I did, in fact, not notice that. Sorry about that.
could have seal team sixed his ass
One simple thing he could have done would be to have not run for president again when he said he wasn’t going to, making Harris have a shorter time campaigning and giving Trump a huge head start.
He can barely function from a physical and mental perspective. He should have GTFO the moment he could. It’s a wonder we didn’t have anyone younger from the beginning.
He has immunity and won’t use it for the greater good
Immunity from what? How could he use that immunity to bring Trump to justice?
Presidential immunity from anything he does even the injustice of forcing trump go through trial with judges who haven’t been compromised by trump interests and face repercussions for his actions from the last 8 years
Edited to add: when they go low, go low with them
The Court declared that a President is immune from prosecution when exercising the ‘core powers’ of the presidency. Not from anything they do.
If a president could force their political opponent to face trial with judges chosen by the president then that could be weaponized by future presidents like Trump or anyone like him.
The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
What do you feel he should have done that he didn’t do?
Allow the usage of long range missiles.
Early in the invasion of Ukraine Russia shared video of a functional hypersonic missle that could deliver nukes past all current air defenses. That was why he was hesitant to escalate by using long range missles.
If I remember right, since then we’ve found that Russias hypersonic missles cannot steer at hypersonic speeds and have had some misfires making them less of a threat. That plus the fact that Trump is months away from helping Russia, the strategy has changed.
Why excuse the inaction that brought trump back to power?
What inaction are you referring to? What do you feel he should’ve done that he didn’t do?
Replaced Garland with someone who would actually do their job.
He could have also just shot Trump in the face, because the SC gave him a blank check to do whatever.
Replaced Garland with someone who would actually do their job.
What should he do differently? Trump has claimed that the DOJ has been weaponized to keep him from becoming president. If the court of public opinion believes that (and a lot of people do) then Merrick Garland has to be absolutely sure he can win a case before prosecuting Trump otherwise more people will believe it’s just a ‘witch hunt’ and it will be harder to try again.
He could have also just shot Trump in the face, because the SC gave him a blank check to do whatever.
The SC ruling was that Presidents have immunity when exercising the “core powers” of the presidency. I doubt shooting Trump in the face would be considered that and it would only empower future presidents to do the same.
Trump is a threat to the constitution. The president has an obligation to protect it.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Ergo, shooting Trump in the face would be a core power of the president.
I don’t disagree but the court of public opinion would. And doing this would give grounds for the next president that comes along like Trump to just shoot their political opponents.
So you’d replace Garland and the new AG would do what, exactly? Fire Jack Smith?
I see him as the shitty candidate nobody wanted under Obama, who the democrats used to push out Bernie.
I think he’s trash.
Are you trolling? Hillary pushed out Bernie.
Joe daring Vlad to actually start that war he keeps talking about.
Its so annoying that when sleepy joe wakes up he actually does pretty good things. I think if biden would be kamala age he would actually be a better president as he seems much more progressive and has some pretty good policies. Of course theres gaza but that whole situation is such a mess.
Uncle Joe or Dark Brandon
If a certain orange haired moldy cheeto is gonna stop funding them, it’s the least he can do with the last of his time. Let Ukraine give Russia a love letter in the form of missiles being allowed to strike deep into enemy territory.
Yeah, I don’t think that’ll make a huge difference. The minute the US stops supplying, Ukraine’s in trouble.
So Trump would have made annexation through military force acceptable. Instead we have Putin now changing Russia’s nuclear doctrine to: Attacking in Russia, even with conventional weapons, merits a nuclear response. A member of a union will be considered as the union as a whole. And generally lowered the level of threat (to ‘sovereignty’ instead of the former ‘existence’). https://www.newsweek.com/russia-putin-nuclear-doctrine-1988843
I don’t see this ending well. The Ukrainians, who are getting the missiles do not only have their own interest of not conceding any territory, but also the interest in getting others, primarily the U.S. involved in a direct confrontation.
Trumps only plan for avoiding nuclear war is continuing to gargle Putin’s balls and let him do anything he wants, including wipe out Ukraine
The only thing Trump is trying to avoid are consequences for all the crimes he has committed.
If Russia decides to fire nukes, nobody is to blame but Putin. Not only is he the one pressing the button, but he could literally end the war tomorrow since he is the one invading sovereign nations.
The chance that Trump doesn’t try and use a nuclear weapon on Iran is near zero. It’s like drunk, depressed, isolated Nixon all over again, but worse this time.
No.
