What do you think of endless wars- Israel Palestine, Russia Ukraine?

@DeWayfarer And Putin is held in Russian eyes as being on par with Peter the Great and Catherine the Great former Czar and Czarina of Russia

@hippyjoe1955 And they are ALL DEAD! 🤷🏻‍♂

@DeWayfarer And when history is being written Trump will be shown to be a joke while Putin will have statues of him built and streets named after him. Putin is likely the smartest world leader we have right now.

@hippyjoe1955 I doubt that. You gave some good examples of what happens to dictators.

Most of those monuments where distroyed shortly afterwards.

@DeWayfarer You mean like Trump? Putin is not a dictator. He is a democratically elected President who has worked and economic and military miracle. He took on the ultra rich and won. Trump? Pfffft!!! He has enriched his family. The average American is poorer from Trump's borrowing massive amounts of money and simply printing more money to cover the debts. The US is about to enter a very very dark time. Not all Trump's fault. The US has been on this downward trajectory since 1929.

@hippyjoe1955 Oh, Trump's a minor dictator. Not near on the order of Putin or Xi though, nor any that you have listed so far. Add Napoleon to that list. At look at what happened to his monuments.

@DeWayfarer So what dictates has Putin made while governing Russia? Please be a bit more specific. As for Trump have you ever heard of Executive Orders? Those are dictates.

@hippyjoe1955 Guy his whole life is a case study in what it takes to be one. KGB member to start it all off.

@DeWayfarer Yes Putin was a KGB lawyer. Do you have anything else that may indicate his dictatorial tendencies? You know like invading Valenzuela and capturing Maduro? Or bombing Iran? Or arming the genocide in Gaza?

@hippyjoe1955 study himself yourself. I'm not your teacher.

BTW I despise Trump! And Trump still considers Putin a friend, same with Xi of China.

@DeWayfarer I have studied him but you are the one making the accusations so it is up to you to defend you position. I have never seen any near the dictatorship of Trump in Putin. Look at what happened in Ukraine. Eastern Ukraine voted to become part of Russia because western Ukraine was killing civilians in Easter Ukraine. Putin didn't act. He waited for the Duma to accept Eastern Ukraine into Russia. The Duma did exactly that and still Putin did nothing. He tried to negotiate peace with Ukraine. He initialled two peace treaties with Ukraine. Ukraine tore them both up. Finally the Duma authorised military action to which the people in Eastern Ukraine said "What took you so long". The special military operation is an effort to remove an occupying force not start a war. Western Ukraine is occupying what is now part of Russia. Maybe if you actually did some research you would not be fooled by the US propaganda machine all the time.

@hippyjoe1955 You absolutely have not!

You won't even acknowledge that Trump has said multiple times that Putin is his friend.

That is if you consider Trump yourself a dictator!

Trump just loves dictators.

@DeWayfarer So what did I get wrong about what is going on in Russia/Ukraine? Please be specific. As for Trump he has lost all credibility now. He can say what ever he wants and we will all know it is nonsense.

@hippyjoe1955 Guy I have seen you defend Trump. Heck even on my own comments.

@DeWayfarer And I am also capable of disparaging him as well. I am an independent thinker. If a world leader makes a wise move then I will support him. When a world leader makes a bad move I can criticise him as well. Trump has just made a HUGE mistake. He deserves to be criticised.

@hippyjoe1955 I will not argue with you any more. Go elsewhere!

To your so called independent thinking is pure hypocrisy.

I despise Trump even on the apprentice TV show. I am a independent thinker because I am consistent.

Unlike Trump who was a Democrat once during the apprentice TV show.

@DeWayfarer Maybe you should try to stop being such a team player and think for yourself. If more Americans did that the US would once again be the most envied nation on earth. Following Bush and Clinton and Obama and Trump and Biden's disastrous reigns the US is now the laughing stock of the world and wildly despised. Ever wonder why?

@hippyjoe1955 Too funny!

Trump was a Democrat when I started to despise him!

@DeWayfarer And that proves?????? You're a team player? I dunno Care to explain yourself?

@hippyjoe1955 That I am not a follower. Yet still consistent.

@DeWayfarer So you didn't like Trump when he was a Democrat because he was a Democrat? Please explain.

@DeWayfarer I never followed him so I had no idea who or what he was all about. But then again the US had Reagan who was an actor so.....

@hippyjoe1955 oh theres quite possibly episodes somewhere of the apprentice on the Internet. Possibly even on YouTube.

Reagan was as well a switch, Just before becoming a governor of California. When he was president of the Screen actors guild. YES A MAJOR UNION!

@DeWayfarer What I find funny is how every president all the way back to Wilson have worked to destroy the US. I don't know if it was on purpose or not but the effect was the same. Some much more so than others but the net effect has been that the US has become more and more of a failed state.
