Just realized - All the Democrats in Tuckers video, Pelosia and her attack dogs, due to Trump, have zero credibility with me.

I think you mean “because” not until. Nice post.

When is Aleksandr Vindman going to get off of MSNBC and form a volunteer mercenary battalion of deep state warriors, drawn from the "interagency"? Surely Hunter and the "Big Guy" can make it happen, all that would be required would be a small fraction of their ill gotten loot.

I read "KT McFarland urges Biden to reopen 'American energy industry' to swipe Putin's leverage, lower energy prices" But of course that is impossible, as I also read "John Kerry urges Putin to not let Ukraine invasion distract from combating climate change" Just so long as we get our priorities straight for the next war.

The article states: "U.S. and European leaders blundered in attempting to turn Ukraine into a Western stronghold on Russia’s border. Now that the consequences have been laid bare, it would be an even greater mistake to continue this misbegotten policy."

I commented on your previous article on the Ukraine: "The past/present Nazi areas all seem to be on the border with Poland, and lent credence to the late Steven Cohen, who was prescient in observing that post-Cold War NATO expansion would revive Russian nationalism."

My position on the matter is like that of TexasDude: "Sigh. I just don’t care about Ukraine. I do not want our blood or treasure spilled over there."

And my opinion is that Putin with minimum destruction and bloodshed will install a regime in the Ukraine over which he can exercise some control. The Russians do feel threatened by NATO.

John J. Mearsheimer Essay is excellent, and from 2014.

I don’t understand why the Nato expansion. For some reason with Clinton, I have a feeling money was somehow involved.

The entire spread of Democracy and so called associated values seems to employ a lot of the elite related family members, with funds from the us government. The jailing in Egypt of Democratic US ngo activists and the political pressure in the US duration family relationship was revealing.

I posted the Tucker link 5 hours ago, and dissonant12 the Mearshimer link.

The Tucker is unbelievable. The US Leftists he captures on video, on the hysterical need to “defend freedom” in the Ukraine, and Vinderman accusing Republicans and Tucker of being Putin stooges is hard to believe its real. It needs to be watched to be believed. The hypocrisy of what has been done to the Jan 6, what was done to Trump, the war on conservatives, rule of law, election fraud, Russian collusion is shameful.

Curious where Vindman, Fiona Hill, et al stand on this issue? And the "Interagency"?
