North Korea's Kim came out today and said they are ready for nuclear war with South Korea and the U.S.   Since Joe is now known throughout the world as "Back-Down Biden", every bullying dictator in the world is going to be kicking sand in his face, all to the further embarrassment of Americans.  This was the best the Dems had to offer in the last election.  Lol  

Ask Putin what he thinks of "Back-Down Biden." The Biden-led coalition has shattered Putin's economy and his army is in tatters. Kim is running scared. So is Xi.
And you are officially delusional, which is now obvious to all.
You've basically become Putin's Poodle.

From the article

I hate the fact that Putin hasn't been defeated.

Ukraine fighter planes.  He wants to back-down to Xie.  He's telling Pelosi not to go to Taiwan.  He backed down to the Taliban in Afghanistan.  Should I go on, or does this jog your memory?

He did not back down to CornPop
And we all know CornPop was a bad dude.
That proves joe is a tough guy.

It's too early to say who is winning in Ukraine. Arguably Russia controls less territory now than it did in the early days of the invasion.  The Russians are making slow gains in the east, but the cost so far has been extreme.  It is estimated they have lost 75,000 men either killed or wounded.  That's estimated to be 50% of the initial invading force of 150,000.
.
Ukraine had about 150,000 active duty soldiers at the start and now have upto 700,000.  Russia had about 300,000 active duty soldiers and about 2,000,000 reservists.  They'll eventually have to do a major mobilization to replace losses in the war.
.
There's no doubt Russia could pursue the war for a long time, but the cost is going to be high in losses of soldiers and equipment.  

I've never seen anything remotely suggesting what you say is true. Most of what we send to Ukraine is arms. Yes, there's also money but there's oversight.
So before you continue to vapor about kickbacks to "Washington insiders" why don't you prove it.

There isn't a single thing in your post that's true.

Heeeeeeere, fishy, fishy, fishy.

Lost's post is replete with conspiracy theories and disinformation yet calling that out is intelligently bankrupt? Seriously?

But having "debated" the issues with LostDaughter many times, I can tell you it's futile using facts and logic with her. She is lost to the world as we know it.

As far as I know it is. Nothing criminal had been alleged yet by law enforcement or other legitimate investigative body. Consequently, claiming it's evidence of criminal activity is, by definition, a conspiracy theory and disinformation. As I've stated before, if anyone, including a Biden, is found guilty of criminal activity they should be held accountable and punished accordingly. Now why don't you say the same about trump?

Bradley Cortright. If you care to cite the NYT you should include that link. Even if the laptop happens to be authentic, it doesn't mean that any criminality has been established.  And yes claiming there's criminality without any evidence is disinformation. Try reading my post more carefully next time. I said that if criminality is proven then Biden should be held accountable and punished accordingly. Why can't you say that if trump is found guilty he should be held accountable and punished accordingly? Let's say both Biden and trump are found guilty of criminal activity. I say punish them both. Do you say just punish Biden?

THIS IS WIDELY KNOWN and published information. If I linked the actual NYT article you would bitch about needing a subscription to read it.  

But you keep dodging the real question. It doesn't matter if the indictment is the result of a federal grand jury or a local one. If either Biden or trump are indicted and subsequently found guilty at trial by a jury would you agree that either must be held accountable and punished accordingly? Kind of a simple question.  I can only imagine why that's so difficult for you to answer.

When just the other day he called it "Communist propaganda."
Hypocrisy much?

I have consistently been in agreement with Jazz on points such as this. Whether it be Hunter or Trump or anyone else:  
- Investigate. If there is enough evidence ...
- Prosecute. If the case is made ...
- Convict. And then ...
- Incarcerate. Or punish accordingly.
.
I would like to see Hunter and Trump as cell mates.

"And if Hunter is found guilty of tax evasion, I hope that he will be made to pay the price, too. ... and become Trump's cell mate."

I guess LostDaughter is too dumb to be a hypocrite.

The Board of General Motors includes an eBay guy, a Novartis guy, a Walmart guy, and an NBA guy. What the fuck do they know about engineering car engines or building automatic transmissions? Hunter was hired for his background in law and finance, NOT for his knowledge of drilling wells or building pipelines. And note that I said "background," not "expertise" or anything else that you would use to divert the discussion.

"[Hunter] Biden’s role at Burisma Holdings Ltd has come under intense scrutiny following ****unsupported**** accusations by U.S. President Donald Trump that Joe Biden improperly tried to help his son’s business interests in Ukraine. Interviews with more than a dozen people, including executives and former prosecutors in Ukraine, paint a picture of a director who provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance and strategy during a five-year term on the board, which ended in April of this [2019] year. ..."  
.
"They also said that his presence on the board didn’t protect the company from its most serious challenge: a series of criminal investigations launched by Ukrainian authorities against its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, a multimillionaire former minister of ecology and natural resources. The allegations concern tax violations, money-laundering and licences given to Burisma during the period where Zlochevsky was a minister. ..."  
.
Zlochevsky was investigated starting in 2012 by Prosecutor Pshonkin who was replaced by Shokin who STOPPED and did NOT pursue the investigation of Zlochevsky. The EU, the UK, the IMF, the World Bank, and others wanted Shokin removed for his FAILURE to investigate corruption. That was when Biden threatened to withhold US aid (2014) unless Shokin was replaced. Shokin WAS replaced and the investigation of Zlochevsky was resumed by prosecutor Yarema. However, in the intervening period, Zlochevsky had fled the Ukraine to parts unknown. When convictions were overturned, other charges were annulled and the investigation suspended a few years later, Z returned to Ukraine. Then, NEW charges were brought against him in 2017 and he fled the country again.  
.
Neither Biden, Hunter nor Joe, tried to stop the investigation and prosecution of Zlochevsky / Burisma.

Confronted with a litany of actual FACTS, Willy is reduced to brief and ineffectual sarcasm.
Wave that white flag high and proud, Willy!

If you consider being precise and accurate as spliting hairs then you have even bigger problems than I thought. And instead of your ridiculous hypothetical about trafficking underage girls, let's get back to the question at hand.  After all we are not discussing Matt Gaetz. I think that if either Biden or trump is guilty of a crime both should be prosecuted, held accountable, and punished accordingly.   Do you agree? It's a yes or no question. However, if you answer no an explanation is required.
