Here's a hint: Why did Putin wait until Biden got in to attack Ukraine? Why didn't he do it under Trump's watch? As for Afghanistan, one can only imagine what a Trump withdrawal would have actually been like, but take note that as long as Trump was in charge, he kept a lid on it.

I agree that Biden is PART of the reason that Russia invaded. I think an even more powerful reason is that AFTER the U.S. identified the troop buildup and ACCURATELY and REPEATEDLY informed the World publicly that Russia was preparing to invade, Biden promised SANCTIONS in response. I think THAT - not the election of Biden, but the promise from the military leader of the World that there would be no military opposition to Russia's invasion (and the remaining Western powers echoing that sentiment) - that actually triggered the invasion.

The invasion was justified. NATO countries were wanting direct access to Russia's border - he wanted them to maintain a buffer zone. It's a national security issue. The eastern portion of Ukraine - the Donbas region is pro-Russian. They have been ever since Ukraine was a part of Russia before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. They want to go back to Russia. Unfortunately, the "right to sovereignty" only applies to the West - Russia doesn't get to enjoy that right. Putin wants to re-absorb the Donbas region back into Russia and keep the western part of Ukraine as a buffer or transitional state - independent in its own right but maintaining friendly relations with Russia. That's the problem with the West - their foreign policies are a double standard. Sovereignty is an internationally recognized right - as long as it's a country that the West supports. Iraq, Libya, and Germany in the 1920s and 30s were victims of this mindset. Putin never made the slightest attempt to invade Ukraine under Trump - so why now, under the Biden watch? It's because Biden is the laughing stock of the world and a threat to nobody. Putin knows he can do it and get away with it. It's no "middle-of-the-road" thing. Biden and his empty threats ARE mainly responsible.

With things being as bad as they are under Biden, to say "more of the same" about Trump when he clearly had things better under control is the same as being negative.
