Day169:

I agree with your piece.
John Bolton himself said this in an interview with CNN but many readers here won't believe it for 2 reasons..
1. Trump has a cult status and many of his followers are quick to look the other way when a dissenting opinion on Trump is given.
2. CNN has been branded the 'Fake News Media' ( incidentally by Trump too) and whatever it reports us false, regardless of how strong the evidence it provides.
Thanks.

Tell me one good report CNN has every written about Trump, just one.

I don't agree though. Trump was a strong leader, and strong leaders may not fear themselves, but they tend to respect one another. There's no way Putin would have invaded Ukraine when no one could predict how trump would react. By now Trump might have sent warplanes and special forces not to assist Ukraine, but to attack Russia directly.
Everyone knows biden is a weakling who wouldn't be able to react even if someone killed his dog and stole his car.

“ By now Trump might have sent warplanes and special forces not to assist Ukraine, but to attack Russia directly”.

And you think if Trump did that you would be writing by now? How you people are so lazy to do proper researches is mind boggling. Even when the researches are done for you and you have clear reports, I wonder how you cannot put the final pieces together.

A Trump insider gave enough information on what transpired at his tenure, including leadership style of Trump and yet some look the other way.

Everyone knows Bolton is just a pained ass. Since he fell out with Trump and started hobnobbing with Democrats, his obsession with Trump is worse than that of Bode George on Tinubu after getting out of jail.

The truth is Biden is spineless. His shameless withdrawal at Afghanistan brought his weakness to the fore. Reason why everyone keeps beating him on his head.

Bolton can call Trump whatever he likes but definitely cannot call him a coward hence his extract below:

The standard line from the right is built on two pillars. The first is the idea that Trump was so strong and unpredictable, the Russian authoritarian was simply too afraid to provoke the Republican. The second is the belief that when the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, it signaled to Moscow that we’re weak and indifferent to international military offenses.

Under Trump America lost its influence and respect all over the world. They became a laughing stock of others. Putin had no reason to attack Ukraine with Donald Trump in power because Trump was already doing their bidding. In fact when Biden won it took Russia a long time to offer congratulations as they were hoping that all these fake allegation of election theft would sail through.

Presently Biden has been able to rally the world in a manner that Trump would never had done in a lifetime. Almost every western country and business enterprise putting up sanctions even without any prodding. 141 countries condemned attack and China is being warned to stay clear of face the same music. America is sending a message to totalitarian state including China.

No play with old man. He fit flog you without saying a word. Biden is flogging Putin seriously in all front. Even now it is Putin calling for direct discussions with the U.S whilst Biden is holding him aloof.

John Bolton is an angry bitter soul because he was disgraced from office as NSA to Trump..he wanted war at all cost hence he was sacked. Let me state this here, there is no president that has ever been harder on Russia than Trump, he understood the game and he is feared not respected by world leaders because he is very unpredictable.

If you watch CNN,you will hate Trump and unfortunately they are propagandists.It was Trump that exposed them and other world leaders for their mischievous acts. For instance, during a summit with NATO, Trump embarrassed the then German Chancellor merkel for doing business with Russia,he brought to light the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, warned her of the consequences, he also made sure they paid their levies which others were up to date..the list is endless. Trump na man he will be 45/47.

This is simply the home and uncomfortable truth why Putin showed restraint during trump administration, any other explanation is risible.

Some delusional and misquided Nigerians still believe otherwise though.

The current crop of republicans in America are very unpatriotic

Donald trump is a cad, blacksheep and blackguard who made America a mockery and laughingstock, Nigerians praising him are clowns
Trump threatened to abandon NATO because member states were consistently spending less than two percent of their budgets on defense in violation of it's chater, except the US.He therefore threatened they either up their game or he would leave the club,so how could these be in Putin's favor?Bolton should tell us who prevailed on Germany to switch off it's nuclear plants thereby increasing their dependency on the Russians, reasons why the sanctions cannot be so strangulating.How come also that America has gone from energy indepence to dependency? Bolton is just suffering from sour grapes arising from his sack by Trump

This makes a lot of sense.
Democratic party like Nigeria's APC are a bunch of propagandist , liars and criminals . They have failed to prevent Putin invading Ukraine and to hide their head in shame comes up with this hogwash story . Crimea was annexed when Obama was president . So is that due to Trump also ?
These guys are failures and like their Nigerian Apc counterpart , lying and blame game is their mastery .
Trump didn't want NATO because he can't find any usefulnes of it to the US but wasting of money .US is big enough to defend itself ..so why join any useless alliance . These guys misled Zelensky and now this hog wash
Park one side jare
If Trump was president and Putin invaded Ukraine and he did nothing , the whole world would be on fire from CNN and their ass lickers media on how Trump is Putin gay partner . There would be more noise on American not sending troops than the war itself .
We are old enough and can't be decisive by these liars called Democratic party

How did he work against NATO? CNN has finished the youths of Africa,he was firm with NATO because they were not living up to expectation via payments..It was only the US who was paying and they paid the most, so how is that being against it? You said he was against Ukraine yet Zelensky vouched for him and supported him all through the sham impeachment. He sent them weapons sleepy joe cant send even now.

Trump foreign policy was solid and strong. American enemies feared him, he dealt with them ruthlessly. China and Iran didn't have it easy at all during trump era.
Now look at the situation where putin travelled to China to seek unrestricted and no limit support for his Ukraine war. That will never happen under Trump, China will think hard of the consequences as a result of such announcement.
Besides trump is unpredictable. If he decides to support Ukraine, it will be no holds barred. Not all these nonsense seeking 3rd party to send ammo to Ukraine
Biden is too weak abeg, I'm a Democrat but I missed trump.

Biden is more like Buhari not Trump
Appointing black to a position has little relevance.Trump did appoint a black man as the first chief of military ..guess that's not in your notes.
Your anger against Trump is that he prevented you getting visa to the US ...! Jeez , I don't want you in my house is now a sin!!. He is indirectly telling you to fix your damn place ..but I won't use that to judge the man .He was a firm leader but also one who knows when to fight and when to hold his punches. Throught out his tenure , America did not invade any country
Guess you prefer Obama who formed ISIS, destroyed syria and Libya for no just cause .
Trump has his own faults but he was a far better leader than Biden . Trump was the first US leader to set foot on North Korea and tried to make peace btw North and South Korea . He broker peace between Israel and many of their arab neighbours. He also ensure decimation of ISIS which Obama was romancing with like APC and bandits in Nigeria.
He wanted a safer America hence his strict Visa policy
And how is a lax visa policy a criteria for good leadership?

What NATO under Obama and Biden does is sleep, drink and eat, they contribute little or nothing, but Trump made it equal contribution. They expect America to do all the work and send it to every NATO member...

You don't understand how NATO is funded. Contributions are not shared, they are used to purchase arms and to perform other administrative tasks. The NATO command structure is virtually a different standing army that needs its own equipment and funding.

Did u read the text at all?? It is the Trump and his cult of fundamentalist Republicans accusing people of cowardice despite their being out of power and saying that if it were them no attack would have happened. Trump was cowed by Putin and Kim of North Korea. He was really awed by dictators and wish to be one of them. Unfortunately he was in America that does not tolerate such tyrannical or totalitarian system.

If Trump was so courageous and powerful he should have even done something simpler than attacking Russia. He should have refused to handover to the so called Biden he and his supporters are calling a weakling.

If Trump get heart e for refuse to handover, den you for see who really get heart.......you unrelenting Trumpist should go and sleep jare

In short , trump upset every lever of the establishment that the west hold dear, trump showed the establishment is just a handful of people withholding power over the majority, he exposed this and was going to dismantle it hence the reason they were all out for him. They succeeded in getting rid of him anyway but the cost of that is what we are seeing right now

He made some points in the article, but I ask everyone saying if trump was president Putin wouldn't have invaded Ukraine, what did trump do when Saudi Arabia sent some men to go kill the journalist who spoke against the king or prince and killed him inside the Saudi embassy in turkey, he neither imposed sanctions against the Saudis or did anything tough, just his usual silly talk. I fear that what Putin has done would cause china to one day invade Taiwan, and if that happens nothing america would do regardless of who is in president.

Trump set foot on North Korea so what? Does it make North Korea stop nuclear testing?

You say America did not invade anybody under Trump so why are you supporting Putin for invading Ukraine?

Trump and PMB resemble that is why they operated in the same wavelength.

Putting blacks in key position in an America that has been racially charged by Trump is a great courageous decision and only a bold leader could do that and not a racist supremacist like Trump.

Biden also took the courageous decision to cancel the evil ban on Nigeria from the immigrant visa scheme that separated many Nigeria families.

The problem we have in the air waves is not those who supported Biden or democrats in the last U.S elections because they never make the inciting post of comparison. It is the die hard Trumpist that never miss any occasion to tell that if it was them this or that world have happened or would never have happened. Ona propaganda for Trump even for Naija here strong pass APC own.

If Trump really get courage and heart e for do something very simple...he for refuse to leave power. Then we go know if America na im get Trump abi na Trump get America. Biden wey ona say he weak na im drive am commot!!

Make ona go hide jare

Brave leaders take brave decisions against stereotypes and biases. The leaders who championed change and a new way of doing things are courageous than those who want to take us back to the status quo.

Do you support Israel. If you do then you would know what Obama did for them. But we cannot see because of tunnel vision
