1. All former living US Presidents have issued statements of support for Ukraine's people except one.

And I wonder who that one is...?

[abqtommy]

7. Ooh! Ooh! I know this one. It's TFG who was never elected so has never really been

a U.S. President!

[TheProle]

8. Is it Bill Clinton?

I have seen Obama and Bush statements, and one from the Carter Center.

Trump had his say last night, and may history damn him.

[Tommy Carcetti]

9. Hmm, let me check.

Nope, nope...guess again...

11. Okay, that accounts for all of them

As I said, Trump made his statement last night. All other living ex-presidents have spoken.

I’m assuming you’re referring to Trump, but not sure what you’re getting at, other than it’s yet one more stain on him. I agree that it is, I’m just not sure why you’re surprised.

13. He made a statement.

However, his statement had no support or solidarity whatsoever for the people of Ukraine.

He called Putin "smart" and called Ukraine "a great piece of land." Like it was a golf course.

19. Again, I get it.

I have now alluded twice to Trump’s pro-Putin statement. You acknowledge he made a statement.

So which living ex-president has not made a statement, per your claim above?

[Tommy Carcetti]

20. I said statement in support of the Ukrainian people.

Trump did not do that.

He just gave a self-serving screed at a fundraiser claiming President Biden was weak, Putin was "smart" and Ukraine was "a great piece of land."

Nothing to show support of the Ukrainian people, or to condemn Putin's actions.

22. That's rich AF, coming from him.

He and Cheney should have been tried in a world court for crimes against humanity for their unprovoked attack on Iraq (and Afghanistan). Cheney the Dick made $84B from the Iraq war. Hanging is too good for them.

23. Carter's Statement

Statement from Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Ukraine
Feb. 24, 2022
Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine using military and cyber weapons violates international law and the fundamental human rights of the Ukrainian people. I condemn this unjust assault on the sovereignty of Ukraine that threatens security in Europe and the entire world, and I call on President Putin to halt all military action and restore peace. The United States and its allies must stand with the people of Ukraine in support of their right to peace, security, and self-determination.

2. Please don't get pissed at me, but if Obama would have

handled Crimea in a meaningful way, perhaps we would not have been in this mess. He just let Putin take it.

Sorry for being negative. Won’t do it again.

5. no shit

and praying? I hate that sanctimonious sh**.

12. 😐

3. My favourite Former President, on time and on the mark. n/t

[brer cat]

4. Excellent statement.

I suspect that President Biden has consulted with Presidents Obama and Clinton (possibly also Carter) . They are members of a very rare club and I'm sure he would enjoy using them as a sounding board.

15. Fotshopt? Is vlad that little?

Alex, I'll take "What is a Napoleon Complex" for $9,900.

17. Yes, he really is short. But he packs a mean teabag of Polonium, so don't drink the tea. nt

18. I ADORE that photo.

'Fuck around and find out.', given physical form.

Nick Fury, eat your goddamn heart out lol.

10. Ukraine's health minister: 57 Ukrainians killed as a result of the Russian invasion, 169 wounded

21. So far. And there are usually more not known

when the figures first come out.

We can always hope that the Russian army mutinies again, but probably not likely.

[getagrip_already]

24. and russia is bringing crematoria along for the ride....

awfully convenient if you don't want evidence of civilian slaughter left behind.

[L. Coyote]

25. One of my first thoughts when I saw this news, Nazi ovens to destroy the evidence.

[lindysalsagal]

14. This beautiful man knows to reserve his powerful words for truly dire situations like this

so that they command the world's attention. This is why we don't hear from him during tedious domestic political struggles, much as we'd like to.

27. K&R for a POTUS chosen by the American people...
