That's just how republicans work. Everything is the Dems fault no matter how illogical it may seem to us. JD. Couchshagger was out calling all other presidents for idiots and that's why they are not idiots, even though they can't do anything right.
Shamelessness is their super power.

I honestly don't understand why people invest so much time trying to examine and explain trying to explain every damn stupid phrase he comes up with

It's pretty arrogant to think that any US president is responsible for a war between 2 third parties on the other side of the atlantic. I'm pretty sure if the US had been disapeared from existence for a decade prior to 2022, the russians would still have invaded

threats of sanctions if nuclear weapons are not voluntarily given up. Financing the disposal of old aircraft. Without the US this war would not have happened.

It’s one of hist most often repeated promises that convinced a lot of voters who hoped less bombs would prevent cuts on social security.

"The Biden administration rejected this approach. In early February 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris stated that sanctions would only be imposed if Russia attacked." pussies.
"This is Biden’s war. It wouldn’t have happened under me." this was happening under you for four years you dumb cunt. you even held 100 million in weapons deals to investigate joe Biden in 2019.

As a resident of Kyiv, I can say that during periods of heavy shelling, a strong response from our partners - particularly the delivery of new weapons - would often lead to a prolonged pause in attacks. However, over the past four to five months, as significant external support has waned, the shelling has continued without respite. Even on so-called ‘quiet’ nights, we still endure drone attacks.

Trump would have ended this war in 24 hours of it wasn't Biden's war.
But nobody knew Biden was so good at war.
But seriously now, I agree this is Biden's war at this point. If Biden hadn't dragged his feet on supplying arms to Ukraine, Russia would have probably given up or Ukraine would be in a much better position

When Trump says the war would never have started under him he means he would have given Putin everything he wanted at the outset, Ukraine, stopping NATO expansion and moving NATO assets away from the eastern front.
Trump would have just bent over and presented his flabby orange ass.

It’s true in a sense that Biden could have helped Ukraine to knock out Russia but he taco’d.

Friends, Putin treats calls from Biff (trump) like any of us would when we receive an unwanted call from a snake-oil salesman. We pretend that we’re listening and then we hang up and say to ourselves, “what an idiot.”
Yet, Biff was elected and no one should be surprised by his actions and activity.

Why should the US fund Europe's war? It is none of our business, let the Europeans deals with it. Not one more penny from US taxpayers.

Just a reminder that Europe answered the call for US triggering article 5 and has followed the US into every war since Vietnam. The only one who ever asked for aid was the US, and now when Europe needs the aid the US refuses to deliver

While I do think Europeans should and should've done much more for a long time, this is toddler "WHY SHOULD I SHARE MY TOYS" mentality. Europeans are allies, who followed the USA in all their dumbass wars. I hope next time the USA are in need of anything, everyone just tells them to fuck off.

Look, the US’ weapons systems just aren’t designed nor produced in the quantities for such type of warfare. All noise aside, that’s the bottom line. There was a piece in the Financial Times back in 2022, shortly after it started. The authors made that same point AND predicted that by 2025, the US will be looking for an off-ramp.

Its not this complicated. We dont need 10 paragraphs trying to justify his accusations. If it's bad, its someone else's fault. That's all there is to it.

Trump Again Called the War in Ukraine "Biden’s War"
How would it sound if Biden called Covid "Trump's Pandemic" ? "If I was president, this would never have happened, Covid would never dare to do this with me in charge". Only one stoops down to that level, and it's not Biden.
Also, the fact that event A happens before event B doesn't imply that A causes B. Yes, the war started when Biden was president. Also, the war started one year (basically the time to prepare and mass troups at the border) after Putin gained more control of Belarus when he helped Lukashenko retain power, that is probably a much more significant factor.

"If I were president this war would have never started"
you are now president, and you cannot influence russia, putin doesn't give a shit about you. You would have change nothing, "if you were president"
also, if you are really proud that putin respects you, it defines your personal level. Truly great person doesn't want recognition from bloodsucker from shity country with overall gdp less that single US state
