Trump kept oil prices low which kept Putin in check.
While Biden jacked up world wide oil prices, thus giving Putin a huge war chest.

Most have lives / families / jobs there.... They're not on holiday and can just pull out as fast as one would pull out of an ex-stripper when the bag over her head broke....

So Putin invaded Ukraine during Biden's presidency because Trump is old.
Can you even hear yourself?

Biden isn't 80 and Trump was 70 in 2016. While I'm thinking about it Russia's economy is about the same size as the Texas economy. I don't know where you pull your numbers from but I'm guessing if we look closely there's brown stains on them.

"With the whole of the Drevian ruling class cruelly exterminated, Olga hatched a plan to do away with the rest of them all together and announcing that she would be soon arriving at the Drevian capital of Iskorosten and asked for them to arrange a funeral feast where they could mourn over her husband’s death in that the very city.
Despite the not having heard from either of the missions they’d dispatched to Olga’s court, the Drevians set about preparing the feast and after drinking themselves insensible on mead, Olga’s soldiers put 5,000 of them to the sword.
Even this orgy of bloodletting wasn’t enough to satiate her need for vengeance and Olga gathered an army to wipe out her foes for good. The surviving Drevians begged for mercy and offered to pay in honey and furs to escape her anger.
She seemed to soften, although at this point you’d think they’d know better…
“Give me three pigeons,” she said, according to the Primary Chronicle, “and three sparrows from each house. I do not desire to impose a heavy tribute, like my husband, but I require only this small gift from you, for you are impoverished by the siege.”
The Chronicle records in great detail the feat of precision-guided pyromania that followed:
Now Olga gave to each soldier in her army a pigeon or a sparrow, and ordered them to attach by thread to each pigeon and sparrow a piece of sulfur bound with small pieces of cloth. When night fell, Olga bade her soldiers release the pigeons and the sparrows. So the birds flew to their nests, the pigeons to the cotes, and the sparrows under the eaves. The dove-cotes, the coops, the porches, and the haymows were set on fire."

"There is no splitting hairs here.
To argue that Putin is strong, smart, and successful in part because American democracy is a sham is a direct assault on our country and it puts our former president in league with a killer who aims to destabilize a continent and the alliances that have kept us free and secure for decades.
It is despicable. It is un-American. And if Donald Trump continues to be enabled by the Republican party, Republican voters, and America’s conservative propaganda machines, then we may very well be led once again by this man, giving him the chance to follow through on his promise to break-up the NATO alliance and put a stake through the heart of our democracy once and for all.
Americans of goodwill must not let petty, political bickering get in the way of this stark reality. The danger this man poses to democracy the world over has not passed."

Anyone with half a balanced brain that listened to what Trump actually said would be able to see how the media twisted and ran with it.
