Putin said it was “madness” to allow countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to leave USSR.

Trump also opposed breakup, accusing Gorbachev of weakness & praising Communist China for showing strength in massacring students.

Coincidence?

2) In 1987 Soviet diplomats & KGB arranged a Moscow visit. On his return, Trump spent $100,000 on full-page ads criticizing US foreign policy on “why America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves."

3) Trump’s love affair with authoritarianism & dictators is nothing new. Trump saw breakup of Soviet Union as weakness, praised communist China for massacre at Tiananmen, & praised China’s Xi for becoming “President for life.”

#TrumPutin #GOPutin #Ukraine
4) Trump withheld certified, Congressionally-approved military aid to Ukraine, violating the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 which prohibits a president from doing so without Congressional consent. He was impeached. Republicans did nothing.

5) Not just Trump:

Mike Pompeo: “Very shrewd & capable. Very talented statesman. Knows how to use power. Enormous respect for him"

Pence: “A stronger leader”

Giuliani: “Makes a decision & executes it. That’s what you call a leader”

#TrumPutin #GOPutin
6) Putin earned KGB creds in brutal East Germany. His job was collecting “kompromat” on Westerners (compromising information for use in blackmail or manipulation for political purposes). Trump’s 1987 Moscow hotel room was bugged. This KGB defector warned us about #ActiveMeasures

1) Why did the South secede?

Conservatives whitewash Civil War history, saying it was about “states’ rights” & not slavery. Here’s a thread to help you make up your own mind and to share. Not my words - the words of the Confederate authors.

2) “Our new government’s foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery - subordination to the superior race - is his natural and normal condition.”

Alexander Stephens has no place in the US Capitol. 2) “Our new government’s foundations are laid, its corne
3) Why did Georgia secede?

The prohibition of slavery… hostility to it, the equality of the black & white races… were boldly proclaimed by its leaders & applauded by its followers… The prohibition of slavery in the Territories is the cardinal principle.”

I will not criticize President Biden for the collapse of Afghanistan. I will not criticize our military & families who endured 20 years of sacrifice propping up that government and training and supplying its troops.

Criticism should lay squarely with the Afghan Army & Government I will not criticize Presid...
I disagree with those saying this is a “sad day for America.” Quite the opposite. It’s a betrayal of America. Our troops endured multi-generational deployments. We built a 300K-strong army. It’s amazing what the US did. But if 20 years of support and billions of American dollars
didn’t give the Afghanis the motivation to defend their country, it shows there is no loyalty to the “nation.” It’s a country of warlords vying for power. Another 20 years would not change this outcome.

1) Over 99% of recent #COVID deaths are of unvaccinated people.

While 625,000 Americans died from #COVID19, conservatives refuse masks and vaccines

Witness the cost of a vast Republican, conservative, right-wing disinformation machine:
