>are you saying that "resistance from the US" is the only thing that prevents "easily take Ukraine"?

You don't have to take my word for it, Zelensky himself has spent the last 2 months begging for more and more financial and military aid from the US/NATO. We have pumped billions into Ukraine already.

And I'm still trying to understand why you think Putin wouldn't take the opportunity to invade under Trump, while invading twice with Biden in a position of power. Especially considering all of the financial interests of the Biden family in Ukraine. You just see that as a coincidence?

And also fighting for survival, there's that. Financial and military aid from all over, after an invasion, is not the same as "resistance from the US" - the latter implies combat, from the US only. It's dishonest to conflate these.

All the guidance that you're going to get is above, and I can not help you further.

>and I can not help you further.

Clearly, because there is no logical response. If Putin truly thought he could easily take Ukraine under Trump, he would have. Which means your assumption is wrong.

Meanwhile, we're back to wondering why the Biden families massive financial interests in Ukraine somehow aren't relevant...

> Meanwhile, we're back to wondering why (insert bogus propagandistic talking point) somehow aren't relevant...

I'm not wondering at at all, I see it clearly. You're right, this rubbish is a distraction.
