I think Jones is better than one or two posters think.  PA's biggest concern is defensive line.  They are loaded at LB and in the secondary.  Oline is intact so there's cautious optimism in Titan land......

What do you think it would take to get Russia to leave Ukraine?

 

USA and its allies, America most of Europe and Japan is enough combined strength to keep Russia and China at bay. They can only succeed if we’re not aligned. So make it fair make other nations spend more but to concede to communism control has to be a no go. Ukraine can only fall if NATO is weakened. If NATO is weakened Russia and China will flex and see what they can get.
 
What’s the possible outcome of Ukraine falling to Russia.

A. Nothing and we’re living in peace

 B. China sees the blue print and go after Taiwan and every thing else in China sea.

C. One European nation declares war sending US to WW3 

Which one is most not likely to happen.

I’m a little confused here. If you’re worried about the spread of communism into Ukraine, where were you 3 years ago? Trump is having to clean up Biden’s failed foreign policies, yet you take your shots at Trump? Ok, let’s take Trump and the U.S out of the picture. Let UK go and deal with Putin. They met Zelensky, after his tantrum, with open arms. Where is Zelensky today????? The ungrateful Europeans and the Chinese should embrace the U.S. for the sacrifices made during WWII. If not for U.S involvement, Europe would be speaking German and China would be speaking Japanese.

Ukraine is a mess and still a corrupt country, but Trump will save them at a cost of precious minerals, and I believe he will track down the $billions “lost”. If China wanted Taiwan, they would have made their move. The spread of communism has always been there. Are you just now waking up?

Your knowledge of WW2 is OFF . 
In no way over the last 3 years has the spread of communism been more concerning. We can go back and forth on a lot but my question is. Letting Russia have Ukraine benefits the world how?

Yes, Zelensky made a dangerous mistake. Who sided with Russia? A foreign leader in the Oval Office arguing with our president and the left sides with the foreign leader. True Americans? To reach a peace deal, concessions have to be made from both sides. Zelensky was in total agreement and ready to sign…..then he started making demands. Biting the hand that feeds you is never a smart idea. Begging European allies????? I think you have your wires crossed. Remember, the shortest book in the world is the list of French WWII heroes. Yeah, who needed help again?…..and we were fighting on two fronts.

And the biggest book would be the Uk that stood up for freedom while again the US pretended as if the expansion wouldn’t come knocking. The US allows Russia to take Ukraine. China take Taiwan. That’s communism expansion at its greatest and once they dominate the east they will dominate the globe. The US is stronger with a stronger NATO then a stronger Russia/China and any reasonable person understands why. 
That’s all Ukraine/Putin comes down too. History repeats its self. It’s east Poland all over again, What did we learn?

Again how does helping communism spread helps the USA or the world and any fashion?

Nobody and I been at this for over a month can explain to me how turning our back on NATO and siding with Russia. Helps us in any form. You can dislike zelenskyy but the fall of Ukraine means the expansion of the steel curtain of communism. And again more importantly is China is watching. And a matter of as little as a few months communism could dominate the eastern hemisphere. How does that make for a safer planet. We’d be back begging our European allies for help. From a smaller microphone.

I think this is a dangerous mistake and I believe many have to believe this also.

I didn't see a question, only a statement., but I'll try

I don't think Trump downed NATO. He does not want to be the #1 funding Country, he wants others to, wait for that Democratic talking point "pay their fair share"....  NATO would be nothing without us - he is using that to his advantage.

We are already great - we could be greater, and that is what trump is working on IMO.

I'm not sure how old you are, but I will never forget a few days after 911 Republicans and Democrats came together united as one. The lines were erased and the focus was on protecting America. I was almost in disbelief. I hope to never see that again, because it took an attack on our own soil to make it happen, but we do come together when we have to. 

My main point is yes The US spend allot on NATO but in terms of both great wars the USA fall extremely short. Giving Ukraine to Russia will help us in no way. We can down play our European allies as much as we want but history shows when blank hits the fan they have been the first to stand up for freedom. Years ahead of the US both times.  
 
I just want one person to explain to me that the fall of Ukraine to communist Russia . Help in any form, In terms of world peace. Explain how Putin taking Ukraine benefits America, or the world in any fashion.

US might want to protect Taiwan at all cost but good luck explaining that to china after Ukraine. It’s basically the same claim. And both Russia and China  have wild strong beliefs on what should be theirs and after they basically have that hemisphere in their control. Communism will dominate.

Yes America can become great again at that expense similar to how we did in the beginning of WW2. But then WW2 happened. We seemed weak and an island nation tried it. 
 

Trump inherited this problem but it’s his problem as POTUS to get right.

I don’t see how Downing NATO in favor of communism makes America, the world more safe. 
 

Not one response?

So now we’re worried about the spread of Communism? Look no further than our federal, state, and local governments across the country. Putin wants Ukraine because of the farmland and precious rare earth metals. Trump has mentioned an interest in these metals already. These metals have military applications as well as smart phones, jet engines, catalytic converters (why they are stolen), and many other uses. Taiwan produces most of the world’s semiconductors.  The U.S will defend Taiwan at all costs.

An aside: The U.S has supposedly discovered rare earth metals in Wyoming to the tune of 3.6 billion metric tons which would make America the #1 producer over China.

These are my opinions which I’m sure will be disagreed with.

There is no answer here that the US and Russia will be happy with.  Putin has stated his intentions in the past and it’s not just to acquire a little more land. Look into multi polar order.  In his view, Ukraine wouldn’t have a seat at the table to negotiate their own future, it would be decided by the big players, often through military means.  Trump is a great deal maker but I’m not convinced he can successfully negotiate with crazy.

What’s the option if Putin keeps pushing?    

The only option is not a popular option only answer is a strong NATO . If a strong NATO (the European side especially stood toe it wouldn’t happen). The moment NATO allows Ukraine to fall. China will start its expansion in the China sea. We’ll have an embolden china and Russia. Communism will dominate the eastern hemisphere.

This war will end sooner than later.  As Trump said, and I believe him, Putin would never had invade Ukraine.  Just like Hamas would never had invaded Israel.  

Yes with many more deaths and allowing Russia to do what hasn’t been done since the third reich. That’s not winning. And I don’t hate trump. just genuinely think that’s a bad idea but for all we know Trump hopefully took that off table. 

Only information obtained from this is. Putin when you do a full scale invasion and take Ukraine the US will not stop you. This is not a deal.

 This is chamberlain waving the false paper of peace.

Check references, work, history, schools, criminal history, etc. Of course it wil likely go to a face to face interview. 

It should be by meritocracy. Each to his own ability.

 Which party is going to be the hurdle to removing race from job applications?

I have seen it personally in the hiring process where I worked. That is only one location but I wonder…….

I’ve seen it in my hiring process. As an interviewer and as an applicant Don’t care for what party this or that. Let’s just get rid of asking ppl if their white black or Hispanic. Credentials should be enough. And again Legacy applications should be removed also best man/woman available across the board.

How about we don't include name or race on the job application or college admission. 

When I managed Service Merchandise (I had 100 employees) - when I received applications. I made copies of them leaving out name and address. I gave them to my hiring manager and he called them in for interviews not knowing name, age sex or race. He and she(I had a couple)  called them in based on qualifications ......and that was from 1996 to 2002....

100 percent agree if race doesn’t matter why have it on applications . Hippy 2028

It’s not about most qualified or not. Systems was put into place because the history of this country. 
one will have to believe that the history is well beyond us. Legacy hires and college acceptance rates to legacies are Just as bad. Would you rather have a rich kid performing surgery on your love one or the most qualified. 
 

In 2025 would you rather check off with

White

 black

 Hispanic

 or

 Asian 

on your job application, college admissions?

 I’m  all for best man for the job? But is this country?

Wasn’t Combs recently charged in several felonies and lawsuits?

Gaetz was investigated for two years by the Biden DOJ and no charges were brought for lack of evidence.

I expect everyone to proclaim innocence. I get it. Why admit guilt when you haven’t been convicted of anything. Even if guilty, the evidence might not stand up in court. 

To compare the cases however, apparently several witnesses have come forward and made sworn statements to law enforcement against Combs. We don’t get multiple indictments on innuendo. Apparently none could be found so far against Gaetz.

 But yes, they are both innocent until convicted and I expect both to proclaim innocence.

To compare the two however….. 

what I’m getting at is where there’s smoke there fire. P diddy been on the hot seat for about 10 years before any indictment. Same as all the others. If republicans hatch there faith in gatez and what’s smoking is proven to be true. Then what?

Too Ridiculous For Even The DOJ:  Yet even the DOJ was unwilling to exploit Greenberg’s unsubstantiated claims — apart from leaking them to the press to hurt Gaetz’s reputation. They announced their closure of the investigation in 2022."

A congressional report means nothing!  There has been NO charges!

To reason with you. Reagan I do feel like this is a political move. But if proven and to be honest just like diddy and the rest gaetz has had have a lot of smoke before the actual fire. 
my stance is I if guilty he should burn. If not his accusers should burn.

Statement from Gaetz:  

Fellow American,

The Biden/Garland DOJ spent years reviewing allegations that I committed various crimes.

I was charged with nothing: FULLY EXONERATED. Not even a campaign finance violation. And the people investigating me hated me.

Then, the very "witnesses" the DOJ deemed not credible were assembled by House Ethics to repeat their claims absent any cross-examination or challenge from me or my attorneys. I've had no chance to ever confront any accusers. I've never been charged. I've never been sued.

Instead, House Ethics posted a report online that I have no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body.

This is a sham witch-hunt – just like the ones they conducted against President Trump. 

I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court - which is why no such claim was ever made in court.

My 30's were an era of working very hard - and playing hard too. It's embarrassing, though not criminal. I live a different life now.

P diddy really just put out a similar statement.

Ima just say this I made a huge jump to middle after Biden most will say lean republican. But I am firmly 100% burn them all (GOT) referring. When it come to pedi crimes. Republicans please let’s not mess this up on gaetz behalf. It’s too much at stake.

Just curious if you voted for trump how do you Feel about the nominees. On a scale of maga to Rhinos. Serious question.

I don’t like Gaetz one bit but trump won convincingly I think he owes it to his voters to fill MAGA to his cabinet .
