    As somebody told me the other day, they beat Hitler, they beat Napoleon.

    In case any of you lurking Trump voters here need another example to ignore of how this person has no business in government and is too ignorant to be president. You are complicit in an impending tragedy to your history and the world.

    This guy says he is the one who can stop World War III and people believe it. Embarrassing and terrifying, weird just doesn’t cut it.

      LoL, yeah.

      And they beat the Nazis with a looooot of help from the US, pooring equipment into the Soviet Union, and then drafted the hell out of their country and sacrificed millions.

      The Napoleonic war was when soldiers muzzle loaded their guns and prrimarily armies travelled by foot or rode horses. And kept warm in the winter by normally not going out to fight wars.

        They also very much had the advantage of knowing their terrain and both Hitler and Napoleon got cocky and kept going during winter time without being prepared for it. Hitler especially was actually making good progress until winter hit so you could almost even say that Russia took a calculated risk (even though I think it’s more of a “got lucky” situation).

        Reminder that when it was Napoleon “defending” (battles vs the coalitions), he absolutely handled Emperor Alexander (Russia) ass in the field. See Austerlitz

          Yeah people seem to think nuclear powers cannot lose wars. Afghanistan, Vietnam and several other countries would like to chime in.

          Look nuclear escalation is a theoretical option, bit in practice it’s a lot harder than people think. And now with the recent sarmat test, war on Russian soil, the broad attacks on Russian infrastructure, gigantic losses and Russia relying on north Korea for production of artillery shells… Russia looks weaker than ever.

            Look nuclear escalation is a theoretical option, bit in practice it’s a lot harder than people think.

            For two reasons in this case.

            1. Russia knows that the wind can blow radioactive ash across their border.

            2. Putin has grandchildren and dictators want legacies.

      As if this is what was needed to prove it. Trump once answered a question about the failings of western liberalism by talking about how liberal cities on the west coast were doing badly.

    I’m sure none of you need me to tell you this, but I feel the need to say it anyway- Trump brought up Hitler and Napoleon being unable to defeat Russia.

    It’s really fucking different when you are being invaded. Than when you are the invader.

      Every politician tripping on power dream is to accomplish what they could not. Watch out for the propaganda against other countries, especially when it comes from a government full of shit.

    • orange turd claims to want to pull US out of NATO, whose primary adversary is Russia

    • orange turd saying he’ll stop funding Ukraine’s defense against Russian invasion

    • Right-wing groups outright shown to be funded by Russia

    • orange turd has been known to be friendly with, and speak positively of, leaders of Russia, N Korea, and China… knowingly not to be friendly with NATO nations.

    If this doesn’t scream to you where his loyalties are and where this country is headed…

    Fuck this worthless fucking piece of shit.

    Apologies ahead of time for the coarse opinion, but this shitbag has no remote concept of the preciousness of any life aside of his own.
