I just had a conversation this morning about the war in Ukraine and my boss who is a massive Trump supporter was thrilled that Biden authorized long range weapons to be used against targets in Russia, and i mentioned once Trump gets back into the white house he will abandon Ukraine as Trump is a Putin loyalist and he got mad at me saying he isnt a Trump loyalist and will be tough of Russia, i stopped the conversation there, if your going to stand there and tell me Trump will be tougher on Russia than Biden and support Ukraine then thats willful ingorance and i simply cant tolerate that
