Ukraine being forced to fight with one hand tied behind it's back and the supposedly mighty armies of Russia still can't beat them and resort to terror attacks on civilians.

If the rest of the world wasn't so desperately sucking down oil and had made real efforts to replace oil infrastructure years ago like they were supposed to, then I doubt this war would have lasted long as it has.

I firmly believe if Reagan had lost to Carter the US would be a lot farther along in renewable energy.

We were on the edge of a knife in the 2000 election and if W and a republican SCOTUS hadn't stolen that election we'd be in very, very different times.

What makes you think that? Trump wants to see Europe destroyed and is an enemy of Europe who has already announced war several times with the fantasy of taking over Greenland. Once Trump has firmly established fascism you can be sure that America will attack as well because that is the only way Trump's government will make money and resources in the long run.

Dude... Trump has accused the world ( except Russia etc ) of heading for WWIII... Trump is going full throttle to achieve his goal because what he blames others for he is ultimately the person doing it.
