I prefer Duckworth myself, actually.

She’s compassionate, yet practical.

Nah, I've done a very good job of explaining my position through the years. Nowhere in this thread did I give the slightest indication that I'm a Trump supporter. But I'm one by default simply because I don't like Biden or the Democrats.

It's absurd!


Well of course youve done a good job.

The fact that you failed to communicate your position to any of us doesnt mean that you have...failed to communicate your position to any of us. :lol:


I invite you to produce one comment I've ever made on this board that could be construed by
anyone with critical thinking skills that I support Trump. Just one!



Hello Veg!

I don't even read American politics on here but I know you don't love Trump.

It's weird how some people are so obsessed with the binary.

They forget people can be critical thinkers and dislike both men.

I wouldn’t mind exploring the mountains of New South Wales, or driving to Alice Springs.

I think V-Man likes to hike. And doesn’t believe in the present-day political system.

I have generally low moral expectations on politicians, so "credibility" I expect from them is limited to roughly following the policies they have declared to follow.
Maybe we have different news sources because I don't recall "acceptance of limited incursion", despite following the topic very closely. Source, please?

Does this help:
Quote:
The White House on Thursday sought to clarify remarks by President Biden about the consequences of a “minor incursion” by Russia into Ukraine that appeared to undermine weeks of intense U.S.-led diplomacy aimed at stopping an invasion of the former Soviet republic.

Officials in Kyiv reacted angrily to Biden’s comments at a news conference Wednesday in which he appeared to wobble on backing Ukraine if it were attacked by its larger neighbor. An array of U.S. lawmakers and world leaders also expressed dismay at Biden’s comments, with some saying the president appeared to offer his Russian counterpart a green light to launch a limited invasion.

[...]

Biden told reporters Wednesday that “my guess is he will move in. He has to do something,” as he revealed tensions within the U.S.-European alliance about how to handle various scenarios involving Ukraine. “It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do,” he said, adding “there are differences in NATO as to what countries are willing to do depending on what happens.”

^Yeah, thanks!

He's definitely not good in speeches, lol.

He corrected himself, though:

Quote:
The White House and Western leaders spent Thursday trying to clean up the damage, with Biden telling reporters he has been “absolutely clear with President Putin. He has no misunderstanding. If any — any — assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion ... It would be met with severe and coordinated economic response.”
