Instead the minority gave us Trump. Boy, did we fuck up.

We always need to remember that - TFG lost TWICE! How different everything would be if we'd had a highly qualified POTUS for those terrible 4 years...

Madame Secretary, now President, would have led the NATO effort to support Ukraine and Zelensky. Trump executed Putin's orders to start the NATO exit.. She had the guts to stand up to Putin, not a compromised minor-leaguer, like Trump. Bet we'd have had much better missile supply chain if Ms. Clinton was our President. Fucking Putin would have freaked out if Hillary was President in 2016. The rot would have been exposed 4 years sooner....maybe without an Ukrainian invasion.

With her experience, she knew what was going on in the world - not to mention all the players. And you're right, she knew the dangers of Putin - unlike the dictator-wannabe who still champions and admires him.

There was a reason Putin fought so hard to keep her out.

That's what I find so galling. We would be in a much different place right now - the entire world would - if the candidate who received the majority of votes in 2016 had taken office.

Thanks for posting. It was interesting to hear her perspective on the current issues and her analysis of where things stand with Putin,

I generally avoid MTP with Chuck - but since Hillary was on, just this once it was more than worth it. And since this has turned into a faster moving forum lately, I cross posted it in the Hillary Group for posterity..

She even welcomed the idea of the 'Reset button' at first - as many of us did at the time.

But Mad Vlad has crossed every imaginable red line since then. The only button he's entitled to anymore, is the Quit button.

We always knew how he handled those who opposed him, but the carnage and oppression he's responsible for in just these few weeks ranks him right up there with Stalin.
