They are right about Trump though. As much as he acted like an orange idiot he kept Putin in his place. Biden is uselessBeggars belief.

Ridiculous, he did no such thing. In fact, Trump wanted the US to leave NATO, but under great protest he delayed it until after the election because the GOP was worried it would hurt him. See also: the Open Skies Treaty, which the US did leave in December of 2020 (and then Russia did as well this past December), which would have helped prevent the current crisis.They are right about Trump though.

The strong man act was just that, an act. He is a coward and a fool.
True - over 6 billion in war chest and he made a deal with China on 4th February regarding oil/gas exports.Putin has millions of dollars in reserve - a strong currency to have a lot of (and a lot of it likely stolen from cyber-attacks). Putin has been planning for economic sanctions. Economic sanctions won't immediately hurt as much because of this. India and China also are backing Russia and will continue to trade.
I share your opinion. Crazy is afraid of crazy. Being in nato wouldn't matter to trump, he would go after someone regardless.Sorry for my opinion
And sorry for disagreeing?Sorry for my opinion
I thought Tattle was just a gossip forum. Have never been so well informed on world events and love the fact that it's members are well informed and believe in freedom of speech without judgement.At first this thread terirified me however i love how balanced it is here and theres no scare mongering we deal with real facts that really helps too i think
I think I'm in love with Zelensky.I’ve a feeling Zelensky will be dead very soon. He’s absolutely prepared to go down fighting for his country. Could never imagine Boris doing that could you?
I understand, it gets me that way too.I don’t want to be part of this world.

I think this is true on some level, but like was said in the Twitter thread there - the Ukrainians would be best served by a living 'badass' president, than one who died a martyr. Arguments for both sides, I guess.EDIT
How many leaders would do this? Zelenskyy, you're incredible, sir.
Yes but he would do no good if he fled the country. If he leave the people are abandoned and its all over. He is the people's rallying cry, and he is inspiring his people (and the world) by showing he is there and calling out Putins lies and fighting (or at least making decisions). He has to be seen to be believed.I think this is true on some level, but like was said in the Twitter thread there - the Ukrainians would be best served by a living 'badass' president, than one who died a martyr.

As always with Tattle, your opinion is most welcome only when it fits the narrative of the majority. Which is incredibly frustrating and depressing. Those of us who have been worn down by years of commentary on Trump/Brexit/Covid/whatever is not the populist opinion, rightly or wrongly now just sit on our hands rather than type. It usually isn't worth sharing the differing opinion and coming back a few hours later to many notifications of ridicule.Sorry for my opinion
I understand that, but disagree. History so rarely falls on the side of the martyr however 'right' his cause may be in these few hours.Yes but he would do no good if he fled the country.

The other option is to let Russia walk on in.Hmm I don’t know about Zelensky. He comes across as radicalised in his recent videos. I really don’t think there is any glory in war. I don’t think writing off his wife and kids to a certain death and forcing his people to fight in the name of a country is admirable at all.
He was Putin's greatest achievement. Kept him in his place? Vlad put him in place!They are right about Trump though. As much as he acted like an orange idiot he kept Putin in his place. Biden is useless
A morning glass of novichok helps the tyrant go down...Putin looks bloated, flushed and unwell. I hope he dies a painful death.
I wonder if he actually is seriously unwell and that's what has driven him to thisPutin looks bloated, flushed and unwell. I hope he dies a painful death.
