Twenty, or more, Blue Dogs could get a sweet deal and save the House from MAGA.

There have been several iterations of "Blue Dogs." And we each read history with our own biases affecting what we see. I am talking about the pre-Reagan "Blue Dogs/" Also, the "Bolsheviks" were Putin's predecessors. He is trying to reconstitute the CCCP, with the MAGA-GOP and Tangerine Traitor's blessings.

why didn't Russia claim any new territory during Trump's presidency?

Petro Poroshenko was the Pro Russia President of Ukraine that Paul Manafort helped get elected working for a Russian intelligence officer named Konstantin Kilimnik. Mueller indicted Kilimnik who is hiding out in Russia. Shortly after he was elected Poroshenko allowed Russia to annex Crimea and two Ukranian regions which housed a large number of Russian speaking citizens. Freedom Fighters resisted over the years and Poroshenko fled to Russia when Zelensky was elected in March 2019 with 75% of the vote running on a platform which called for the expulsion of Russians from the Ukraine. Russia regularly sent troops into Ukraine, resulting in the following Addendums to the List of Temporarily Occupied Regions and Settlements that happened on Trump's watch:

Addendum No. 79-р as of 7 February 2018
Addendum No. 410-р as of 13 June 2018
Addendum No. 505-р as of 5 July 2019
Addendum No. 1125-р as of 16 September 2020

These mini-invasions were reported in the news throughout the world. But they were not as large as the one in 2022, which was meant to put an end to Ukranian resistance, once and for all. So, most people don't remember that Russia expanded its war in Ukraine through the Obama, Trump and Biden years. Remember, the weapons Trump withheld, after his "perfect phone call" with Zelensky were to be used in the ongoing resistance against Russia. I thought from the beginning that Trump knew Zelensky would not comply with his request to manufacture a case against Biden and used it as an excuse to do a favor for his pal Putin.

My response will be in two (maybe more) replies.
I have looked and looked trying to find anything that says Poroshenko "fled to Russia" and have come up with squat. Where did you get this info? The only thing about Poroshenko's travels I have found is his being "allowed to leave the country at a border crossing with Poland to attend a political meeting" according to Reuters. Of course it's probably more lies and propaganda coming out of you.

Those addendums you are referring to are talking about areas in the Donbas region which has been in ongoing military conflict since 2014 between Ukraine and Russian backed separatists. There is going to be ebb and flow of controlled areas in a military conflict. Here's the important point though, Russia didn't officially claim any of that territory while Trump was president. Why? Because Putin didn't want the US to get involved, and Trump is (and always has been) a non-interventionists. He was against the war in Iraq for that very reason. Trump not wanting to be involved militarily in Ukraine was not because of his supposed "support of Putin" but his long standing political belief that the US shouldn't getting involved in foreign conflicts. However Putin knew if he got too overt he would attract Trump's ire and feel the consequences, such as the Russian Mercenaries that were obliterated in Syria when the mercenaries violated the no conflict zone.
