Ex President Donald Trump cannot shut his yap as if he is still campaigning for another bout of Presidency, going against President Joseph Biden, not even at this time of catastrophic invasion by Russia of Ukraine. In my opinion his behavior is quite possibly treasonous to the United States of America and all our allies who believe in Democracy. Basically he is touting his relationship with Putin and his comparatively macho stance with Putin and thus Russia, as compared to the gentlemanly approach of Biden. He says this war against Ukraine would not have happened if he were still President. As usual, it is all about HIM.
Which were YOU on the schoolyard? THE BULLY WHO STARTED THE FIGHT? THE GANG LEADER? THE PERSON WHO GOT PICKED ON? THE ONE WHO TRIED TO BREAK IT UP? Did you walk away and decide it was best not to get involved because you didn't know who started it or what the fight was about?
Yea, Trump and Putin have a lot in common: They are both Bullies who spin Fake News. Evil people mess with our minds, and that is what if felt like every damn day of the Trump Presidency. Sick of being confused by the Princes of Lies, people felt they had to choose between being a member of a cult (The Republican Party) or dealing with the trauma that cult inflicted on the rest of us. You had to choose sides. For someone like me, whose beliefs were moderate overall - it was especially excruciating. What happened to honest debate?
Does an ex-President have a 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech? Yes, he does. He should be reminded that citizens of Russia do not. Those who protest the war or anything else in Russia are being arrested. It is only because of those who have dared risk this arrest - and unknown future - that we know that all Russian people are not in agreement with their government Does he have a moral obligation to speak the Truth? Yes. However, there is The Truth and then there is His Truth.
How do we know what information is True? We rely on JOURNALISTS.
The killing of a journalist who might reveal the Truth through reportage Brent Renaud, is telling.

This morning one of the first news stories I picked up was that bombs had hit Lviv which is twelve miles from the present Polish border. An airfield that was used for training and staging of Ukraine military air force was bombed. Strategic? Sure.
Remember the reports of Russian jets flirting with the borders of various countries a while back?
That WAS the hint of war to come.
