Looks like we found something the Poli Board can agree on and make common cause with AOC and Bernie Sanders.

The left-wing group Democratic Socialists of America has been under fire over the weekend after calling for the dissolution of NATO's Western alliance and blaming the United States' 'imperialist expansionism' for Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine.

The DSA, which boasts high-profile members like New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, released a Saturday night statement condemning Russia's invasion and calling for Vladimir Putin to immediately recall his troops.

Immediately after demanding a ceasefire the progressive group also called for an end to 'further intervention' -- even as Kyiv's own top officials have invited Europeans and other global allies to come take up arms and fight Moscow's military.

If the US Deep State and the American Radical Left go to war against each other, IMHO, this is a good thing.

Will they cave to the criticism? I'll only respect them if they double down in the face of criticism.

In a game who can be the craziest, you gotta bring the thunder. This is actually a rather pedestrian effort on their part, believe it or not. They’ve got much more raw talent than that. They probably don’t even win the day with that stuff.

Who would have ever thunk it?

Half the Poli board are allied with Crazy Bernie and AOC.

There have been some pretty reasoned arguments the past week that this war started at least as far back as 2014 and the U.S. pushed Russia to it. Not saying I necessarily agree with that, but it's worth considering. I actually would like to see the anti-war anti-imperialist wing of the Dems speak up right about now.

Trump calling NATO weak and ill equipped because they won't fund it = Trump being Putin's puppet.

AOC & Bernie calling for NATO to be scrapped = Adults in the room finally talking sense.

They apparently still cling to the idea of utopia. There is no possibility of international utopia. It would be great if everyone would be nice and play nice and do their homework and eat their vegetables, but there will always be those who don't play along. That's human nature.

Wait, so NATO is socialistic in nature, and they don't want any part of it? I don't believe it

Yet you’ll vote for the party that sells the idea that it is possible.
