Trump is not fighting, and his children will never fight. He’s a talker. He might attack a woman…but he would never fight a man. He would send your children to fight just like he did on January 6th…and he would watch from his office. Where were his children on January 6th? Were they even at the rally? That’s what you can expect if Russia, China, or any enemy comes for us. He’ll allow you and your family and friends to fight…but not him and not his family and friends. What we see day in and day out is not Trump fighting for our country; it is Trump trying to stay out of jail…there is a difference. That is why he does not see our military heroes as heroes…he will never understand.

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are not newcomers to what they do. Like Biden, they are not just businessmen or real estate magnates feeling their way around government operations. Trump is a draft dodger, and we are learning daily just a mediocre businessman who has gamed our system for years. In short, he is playing with leaders out of his league and they are loving it.

Xi has been the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and thus the most important leader in China, since 2012 and the president of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) since 2013. He belongs to the fifth generation of Chinese leadership.

Putin is a Russian politician and former KGB intelligence officer who has been the President of Russia since 2012. Putin has held positions as president or prime minister since 1999…as prime minister from 1999 to 2000 and from 2008 to 2012, and as president from 2000 to 2008. He is the longest-serving Russian or Soviet leader since Stalin. Putin served as an intelligence officer for 16 years and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before resigning in 1991 to begin a political career.

Are you getting an idea of the resumes these guys bring to the table versus Trump and his toy soldiers who couldn’t even overtake the White House? Are you getting the picture of why Trump admires Putin so much…maybe because spent a little more time with him and played him like an intelligence officer. Perhaps this provides a measure of insight into why Trump was so fascinated with our secure documents. Are you beginning to understand why Putin seems outright “giddy” as one MSNBC’s guests recently described his posture?

Talk won’t make Putin stop. You must make him stop. Biden knows this. Submitting to Putin’s will in Ukraine would be a win for Russia and the allies that have helped him survive this. If he wins Ukraine, he will recover and come again. Others will surely follow in his footsteps. And if Trump or one of his folks is at the helm, he knows they are weak.

We truly need to be hollering at our representatives in the House. They are not only Trump’s clowns, but they are also enabling our longtime foes. I cannot even imagine what our lives would be like when America turns tail and runs…which is what these cowards are asking us to do. Everything else is a distraction. If the GOP were truly worried about immigration, we would have an immigration bill.

If Putin or some other entity comes for us, I would rather have allies remembering we fought like hell and willing to stand with us rather than allies who remember how we abandoned Ukraine. Trump and his followers are asking us to give up and we haven’t even fired a shot. Is that cowardice? If not, tell me what it is. Not one other ally has pulled out…they are waiting on us. Because we are still the leaders of the free world, our allies and enemies still believe what we do makes a difference. On any day, I would rather have our allies with us as they have been for many, many years.

Biden isn’t perfect, but he knows how to play ball with these guys. Unfortunately, he also has a GOP House Speaker who is playing government. But really, he’s playing with lives and our democracy.
