So... you agree with Putin?

Good to know.

And my pup and I had a lovely walk...but I certainly didn't walk AWAY from anything.  Now... in about ten minutes, we are driving to Freeport, Maine to have lunch here:

that isn't what I asked you, but you're good at dodging.

dodge this-- nato broke  the agreement first;

---------------------------------------------
twenty-three years later, President Putin has made Ukraine’s preliminary steps to joining NATO the principal grounds for the Russian invasion of Feb. 24, 2022. The alliance’s leaders have always made clear that it is up to each European country to make its own decision about membership. But the eastward expansion of NATO particularly inflamed Putin, who has claimed that Secretary of State James Baker and other Western leaders assured Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990, at the time a unified Germany joined NATO, that the alliance would expand “not one inch eastward.”George Kennan would surely have understood Putin’s reaction. The architect of the “containment” policy toward the Soviet Union wrote in 1997 that “expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post–Cold War era.” Kennan continued: “Such a decision may be expected to inflame the nationalistic, anti-Western and militaristic tendencies in Russian opinion; to have an adverse effect on the development of Russian democracy; to restore the atmosphere of the Cold War to East-West relations; and to impel Russian foreign policy in directions decidedly not to our liking.”

hispanic employment?  Right before the Covid spike, under Trump it was 4.4%  Today it is 4.3%
https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_unemp ... %208.59%25.

black women employment?  Right before the Covid spike under Trump it was 5.4%  Today it is 5.7%

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU04000032

So you admit that black unemployment for women is higher now that it was under Trump.

For everything else, you're clearly clutching at straws provided by gullible liberals like yourself!
And with ALL that evidence of Trump's far superior record compared to Biden's, you're STILL a foolish supporter of the corrupt and demented idiot you voted for!

and if you don't think that Biden out-maneuvered Putin vis-a-vis NATO unity, expansion,  and their coordinated response to the Ukraine invasion, you should let someone else act as the national spokesperson.

"coordinated"? that's rich...

it is what you don't want to know.

You commented about Ukraine in response to a post from me about a CATO report on the status of immigration on our southern border.  You're **** as dumb as a sack of hair.  Run along you ignorant moron.

You quoted me when I was responding to someone else about Trump's lack of effectiveness in southern US border illegal immigration.  I had quoted a CATO Institute report in my post.  My guess is that you saw CATO and read NATO and quickly knee-jerk teed off on me about  Biden and Ukraine.  It was synonymous with me writing a post about the Boston Red Sox and you attacking me for the failure of AMTRAK to stay on schedule and on budget.  It was way beyond apples and oranges and was closer to apples and haikus. or apples and microwaves.

I think that you should be a big boy and admit you **** up, apologize to me for **** up, and then take care not to **** up in a similar fashion going forward.  But I'd bet money you won't.  You don't have the maturity or the character.
