Survey of 154 scholars places 45th president behind even ‘historically calamitous chief executives’ linked to civil war
Donald Trump finished 45th and rock bottom of a list ranking US presidents by greatness, trailing even “historically calamitous chief executives” who failed to stop the civil war or botched its aftermath.
Worse for the likely Republican nominee this year, his probable opponent, Joe Biden, debuted at No 14.
“Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall,” Justin Vaughn and Brandon Rottinghaus, the political scientists behind the survey, wrote in the Los Angeles Times.
you don’t know that. and by being the first country to “go nuclear” they’d be putting a HUGE target on their backs. no way that would happen.
Ok, it makes things more likely to go nuclear. Now that’s that settled, this is a bad idea, right?
explain your reasoning.
Prove you’re not a sealion first.
Or how about this: I would love to see NATO go gloves off. We tell Poland “Hulk? Smash.” and they rush across the border and reinforce Ukrainian positions. A US carrier group rolls up and sinks what remains of the Black Sea Fleet before the Admiral can get a second cup of coffee. Marines start landing in Sevastopol and the obligatory McDonalds is setup within 36 hours. F-22s body the Russian air force without even being seen. The Kerch Strait Bridge isn’t just bombed, but completely taken out from end to end. What remains of Russian ground positions west of Mariupol is full of soldiers who hear rumors that NATO POW camps will give you hot food and a warm blanket, and that’s sounding like a damn good deal by the end of the week.
Do you know why I don’t advocate for that? Because I’m not a goddam fucking moron who thinks Putin would just accept this loss and run away.
Isn’t that what I said? FIGHT YOUR OWN BATTLES??? Putin would HAVE to accept losses like this because as it is he’s having a hard time keeping people IN the russian military. Losses on this scale would seal it. While we’re at it just go assassinate him. Why not? leave him alive and this shit continues.
