Lastly, one more bad thing that will almost certainly come out of this. Just like my high school days, when bullies sense weakness, they immediately attack. China is watching closely. If Putin takes Ukraine, outplays and humiliates Biden, China will absolutely invade Taiwan.
Wayne Allyn Root; WND There are so many complex reasons for Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine. And so many outcomes yet to be determined – sadly, all of them bad for the USA.
"First, let me tell you a personal story that explains the psychology of Putin. I grew up the only white Jewish kid attending an almost all-black middle school and then a 90% black high school. Needless to say, I was the favorite target of bullies.
"I know liberals haven't a clue about this, but whoever is in the minority in life gets tortured, intimidated and unfortunately, gets their a– kicked. A lot. That's a fact of life.
"Therefore, I got tortured, intimidated and beaten up on a daily basis. The bullies at my school stole my lunch, beat me in the bathrooms and chased me home after school.
"Most weak kids never change. I'm one of the lucky ones. A tough gang member took pity on me and taught me how to fight and defend myself. After a summer of brutal hand-to-hand combat training with my newfound tough friend, I vowed never to be intimidated again. I showed up at school ready to defend myself.". . .
. . ."No bully ever touched me again. As a matter of fact, many of those tough guys and bullies became my buddies. I gained their respect.
"The lesson is "peace through strength." Only by being tougher than the other guy can you avoid conflict.
"That perfectly describes former President Donald J. Trump. I can picture Trump telling Putin, "If you attack Ukraine, we will bomb Russia to oblivion. Don't try me." And Putin never did. Putin behaved while Trump was president." . . .
Trump knew how to handle Putin, while Biden has no clue | Israel National News - Arutz Sheva . . ."We know three things about Putin and Ukraine, and whether Zelensky is going to end up killed or locked in the Gulag for the rest of his life, and whether more Ukrainians next will die at Putin’s initiative than have been slaughtered since Stalin mass-murdered as many as seven million during the Holodomor with the active and criminal assistance of New York Times Russia bureau chief Walter Duranty:
1. None of the present mess happened when Donald Trump was president.
2. Vladimir Putin played by the rules of international comity throughout the Trump years.
3. Biden came in, demonstrated his and Antony Blinken’s foreign affairs chops in Afghanistan, and the whole house of cards came crashing down.
"This was predictable from an incompetent who, in but one year, has presided over a complete breakdown of the social order. America successfully was rehabilitating from four Obama years of rot and decay, and Biden has proven transformative, introducing chaos marked by America suffering a severe nationwide collapse in urban law and order, a parallel breakdown at the southern border, historic inflation and economic dysfunctioning, a racial-based social cacophony that has undone racial harmony that reigned only a few years before, a cultural collapse in public education that sees children brainwashed to worry about personal pronouns and whether they are incorrectly gendered bodies while being taught lies in history and corrupted math.". . .
