He is definitely a politician, and is taking the 'traditional' approach on military action/defense posture. It's the posture we have taken for the last 75 years, but it needs to stop.

Plus as another poster pointed out, defense contractors in Texas.

How can this be tricky? Poontang isn't bashed in Ukraine, Poontang then attacks a NATO ally as he has previously stated he wants to be back into the Russian fold then by Treaty, the US is then at war with Russia.

In the meantime, we get Russia to become a vassal state of China, and a really really sbiithole nation for a generation since no one but China will invest in it. Russia is Not making big bucks with oil exports, quite the opposite due to huge discounts just to keep oil flowing.
It is heavily reliant on natural gas exports to Europe for cash flow. It is has already blown through cash reserves, forced all money to stay in Russia so while the exchange rate is high, no one can do anything with the captive funds.

He had some serious momentum back in 19-20, and then goes full establishment cuck. It doesn’t take long for that slush fund money to find its way back to you I guess. What a piece of shite.

Yeah that all happened in an isolationist vacuum didn't it? I don't recall any US foreign intervention in the 80s and 90s that set off a culture of Muslim anti-American extremism.

and I suspected Ted was a mole a while ago. I think when the Bush's came out and said they think he is a strange fella.

the original tea party took a lot of establishment seats. Turtle got pissed and decided they won't wait to corrupt and offer members of the tea party HFC chairmanship's and blackmail them.

they will finance them and then tell them to act all MAGA for the long con.

What a dilemma for the Cruz for President crowd who also see Putin as some idyllic meld of William Wallace, John III Sobieski, and Simon Bolivar.

How will Putin react to this. Bolsheviks have always recoiled at the very notion of contradiction.

Cruz's biggest promoter Michael Berry just recently complained about sending all that future laundered money to the Ukraine with all the problems we're having here.

And how is the other one - Levin - reconciling this unsettling situation.

More evidence of how potentially disappointing it is to fall in love with politicians and football coaches.

Yeah, well, he's about run his course. It's time for a real challenge for his seat from a conservative Republican.

How Fing stupid are you to think this Country has EVER practices true isolationism? We have been meddling where we are not wanted or needed for about 100 years now.
How can you be so dumb to ever think anything else?

If we just gave back the taxpayers’ money that’s like a $1200 check each. Check my math

If we can afford to send $40B at a time to Ukraine, can the Feds sent just $1B to Entergy to pay for Ida damage? If we're going to waste tax dollars, at least help U.S. citizens in the process.
