If Rump had been invested in war stocks like Biden and Pelosi we'd be bogged down in a quagmire in Venezuela. It's just luck that his father gave him a real estate empire to bankrupt instead. Nice people who are actually interested in peace don't get to that level of society.

Not sure why you think "Putin has got to go", or who the frack you're going to replace him with. The only other viable candidates are a few oligarchs, mafia figures (there's a lot of overlap there), or a couple of generals who are super-nationalists. The people I worked with in Moscow said, "We don't like him much, but all the other alternatives are an order of magnitude worse so we'll vote for him again." The Russians are stuck with the "lesser evil", the same as we are.

Oh, by the way, it wasn't Obama who started shipping tons of weapons to Ukraine, it was Rump.
