So what you're saying is that Biden's entire CORRUPTOCRAT administration was ALL ABOUT MORE WAR!!

See, this is easy.

That tape is from 2014 - the Obama administration. The intention was to provoke Russia, by overthrowing his friendly neighbor's government and planting a coup government that was anti-Russian - all while ramping up the rhetoric that NATO membership (and a weaponized border) was on the table. This would constitute an existential threat to Russia - much as the Cuban Missile Crisis constituted an existential threat to the United States. 

The same response that Kennedy took was predictable - an immediate military response. Russia immediately rolled into Crimea, to protect its Black Sea naval base from the unfriendly and illegal coup government planted by Nuland and the Ukrainian Ambassador. This is history - not an opinion. Any adult can listen to the tape and objectively verify. 

It's important to note that Trump continued the provocations against Russia. He armed Zelenski with offensive weapons and he brutally sanctioned Russia. He made no effort whatsoever to address Russia's existential concerns. Instead, he ratcheted up the tensions by continuing to increase sanctions on Russia and funding/arming Ukraine's illegal coup government. It's also important to understand that Ukraine's Constitution expressly prohibits joining any military alliance, east or west. Ukraine's perpetual and Constitutionally mandated neutrality was the guarantor of perpetual peace between Russia and Western Europe, since both powers guaranteed Ukraine's borders based on the agreement resulting in the return of Russia's nuclear weapons. It was a critical aspect of Europe's AND Russia's security architecture, and the overthrow of that government was a provocation intended to push Russia into a proxy war with Ukraine's illegal government.

NOW - with Russia having prevailed against all odds and overcome NATO's weaponry and sanctions and acts of espionage against the Russian State, - Trump is forced by circumstance, not by any morality or sense of justice, to respect Putin's position. Zelenski and Ukraine have become an embarrassment - a failed proxy. As Trump has pointed out repeatedly, Ukraine has no cards. Putin holds all the cards between Russia and Ukraine - ALL the cards. And any cards that Trump holds - there are many that I know of and likely more that I do not - will be played based on AMERICA'S interests, not Ukraine's. So they're ****. They're Kurds. They were never allies. They were proxies. The most generous argument is that they were clients. But they weren't. They were hapless proxies. 

Again, these are not opinions. These are the facts in front of your face. But you might be too propagandized to employ manly judgment and simply see what is in front of your eyes. 

Understanding his world is the work of a man. Letting other people create narratives for his consumption is the work of a not man. Most of what filters down to the public originates in "think tanks," which are paid by corporations like Blackrock to create narratives for public consumption. They have no other product than narratives. These narratives are filtered down through the media, and each "side" of the political spectrum has favored media that promulgate narratives originating in think tanks.
