What you just said is bullshite. Here are the reasons why.
1. Training of Ukrainian troops was accelerated during the 1st Trump presidency.
2. Trump was the first to provide Ukrainians with lethal aid back in 2018.
3. The USA has continued to supply Ukraine with intelligence and other levels of indirect support since the start of the 2nd Trump presidency. By the time that Trump returned to office, Ukraine no longer needed direct support from the USA.
4. The Trump administration has allowed weapons to be delievered to Ukraine despite our own conflicts. In early March, a batch of Patriot missiles which were purchased by Germany were delievered to Ukraine. Trump could have easily invoked national security concerns to have those interceptors sent to the Middle East instead. However, he did not. He allowed them to go to Ukraine.
Not to mention that literally every Ukrainian long-range drone uses 2 Starlink units on there, you take that away and all their drone tech is nothing more than an oversized RC hobby planes. In fact most of their drone range and communications go to shite. Their targeting is assisted with real time US intel.
Their mid-range drones are all courtesy of American drone companies like White Stork Group which Trump admin allowed to partner to improve the drone tech. Most of quality mid-range drones R&D is done on US soil or Europe. All Ukraine provides is a testing ground.

Well...being one, gives me a little insight.
That insightful sample size of 1. I was a registered independent prior to 2022 and I can't stand Rubio or his record. So your insight doesn't even carry an anecdotal weight.
Democrats are unable to produce anything non-establishment that will put working American families first.
If it's Rubio vs. any Democrat I'm probably just going to vote 3rd option that's closest to my beliefs. I won't cast a vote for that neocon whore.

The Ukrainians are going to win this war, they are going to win their freedom and the respect of the world, they are going to set themselves up to be technological leaders in a field we were set to dominate and yet have fallen behind in, and in doing so are going to be Europe's answer to Silicon Valley with tens in not hundreds of billions of dollars of investment pouring in for years to come.
All because our Boomer-azz president can't see past a real estate deal with a Russian dictator, and had to f*ck underage children and cover it up.
This is what an TDS overdozed shitliberalism sounds like. Holy fricking delusion.

It's more of an understanding that JD Vance will have little to no draw from independents. It isn't that Rubio is an amazing candidate...it is that Vance will be a terrible one.
And you got that conclusion from where? Whatever makes you assume he has this appeal to "independents"?
I noted that you ducked replying whether you support Rubio or not.

Question: How is any of Rubio's neocon leanings not exactly what Trump has been doing the last 15 months? I've always been a fan of Rubio except his foreign intervention inclinations, and that's ultimately what cost him in 2015 GOP primaries. Vance is in a tough spot. How does he deal with the foreign intervention questions during the primary. He either is seen as a flip flopper if he embraces the actions of the last 15 months or he comes off as weak for not speaking up more. Rubio at minimum can show 15 years of consistency.
Rubio is 100% tied to Trump's neocon flip last 15 month, which tells me Trump was lying and planning this shift all along by putting someone like Rubio at the SOS position. I suspected it could mean that but now there's no "maybe" about it.
JD has been benched during this fiasco and hopefully he can distance himself. Rubio can ride the interventionalist neocon brand that worked so well for Republicans since 2008./s
quote:
My guess is he will be Sec of defense under JD
Considering the foreign policy liability that Rubio represents, JD won't put him on the admin at all. If JD is about America First, Rubio has no part of that administration. He's a shill.
Tulsi for SOS and bring back Joe Kent for Secretary of Defense.

So...me believing that Rubio will beat Vance makes me part of the "MAGA" base? Since you are so much smarter than everyone else...please walk me through that logic.
I assumed you support him based on your jubilant metaphors of how easily Rubio can beat Vance.
That's what the meme was in reference to, not whether you believe Rubio can beat Vance.
If Vance can brand him as an ameba loved by the Democrats he will beat Rubio. A carreer politican/lobby lawyer vs an middle of America vet who succeeded in business and politics. It's a simple choice, but then again there are a lot of dumb fricks in the R voting base.
Exactly, you can't even post a pic.
Realizing how retarded and gullible portions of "MAGA" base is really exasperating. It boggles my mind how easily they can be swindled by these neocon shills. You learned nothing and incapable of learning or discerning same plays.

Yall dumbasses will fall for it just like you do the pther media darlings.
98-0 cabinet confirmation.
When was the last time Democrats unanimous voted for anyone who wasn't going to hurt the Republican party or American people. This literally all anyone needs to know what this political ameba represents. He'll compromise everything and he will do what his handlers ask.

This board has become so amazingly neo-con.
They forget they got us Obama. If it wasn't how shitty necons were in the decade preceding Obama, he'd have no real shot of getting elected.
Mark my words, you let these drooling idiots dictate the direction of the party for 4 years and they'll end up put Mamdani or AOC in the WH.
When Rubio will be told to start a war, he'll just ask how many. His biggest sponsors are:
quote:
Top Career Donors and SupportersNorman Braman: A Florida auto dealer who provided extensive support, including a reported $5 million to the "Conservative Solutions PAC" during Rubio's 2016 presidential bid.
Paul Singer: A billionaire hedge fund manager and investor (Elliott Management) who was a significant financier of Republican causes and a major supporter of Rubio.
Larry Ellison: The former CEO of Oracle, who contributed millions to the Conservative Solutions PAC.
op Industry SectorsDefense & Weapons Industry: Rubio has received over \(\$663,000\) from the defense industry over his career, being a top recipient in the Senate in the 2022 cycle.
Finance/Wall Street: Top contributors in previous cycles included Goldman Sachs, Elliott Management, and Blackstone Group.
Pro-Israel Lobby: Rubio has received significant contributions from groups such as AIPAC, NORPAC, and Pro-Israel America.
quote:
No, he doesn't. He's a standard neocon with a Hispanic name and skin tone Trump beat him by 20+% in Florida in 2016.
When I read these boomers fawning over an obvious Cuban shill (for whichever lobby pays him more), it reminds me why the party was in such a horrible shape in 2008. They learned nothing and are unable to discern obvious bullshite in politics.
Rubio will be whatever his highest donor needs him to be. He's like Mendendez, but smarter about how he takes those bribes.
quote:
Really impressed with him and how hard he works.
Can you please list what it is that you're impressed with. Specifics.

I've never liked Marco Rubio. I have 15 years of posts backing it up. You can read the many posts on here anti-Rubio I made back in 2015-2016 when I was the biggest Trump proponent on this board.
It's disappointing to see the obvious wolf in sheep's clothing being getting support from people that claim to be America First, but it's not really surprising. JD Vance is a much more logical person to support but for some reason people here think Marco speaking Spanish will make him a better candidate (it won't).
Rubio is an establishment Paul Ryan type parasite to come out of the GOP mold in Florida, like all the rest of compromised Cuban reps. They are so easily bought.
He's 100% controlled by Israeli lobby, MIC, and any big interests. His only goal in life is to enrich himself and his Hialeah brood at any cost. Larry Ellison had a dinner with him to vet him in 2016 to beat Trump according to Epstein emails and that's enough for me to know he's a puppet.
When he got a nearly unanimous approval by Dem committes and R's, that's when you know you have a real establishment POS on your hands.

A political science major out of SFL who never held a real job. His whole life has been memorizing speech bits and giving out general taking points while looking for donations. Never actually achieved or accomplished anything worth talking about. RINOs were grooming him to be a their hispanic outreach shill because they thought that's the way to win a Hispanic vote instead of improving their policies towards white voters.

If the stated #1 priority of Macron's French government was to wipe the bombers' country off the face of the earth, and those words had been backed up by action - no, in my view, that wouldn't be terrorism.
So if a bomber county was also looking to destabilize and destroy France which is what pre-empted hostile words by Macron. And what actions would justify killing the leader?
quote:
No, as long as the family wasn't the target.
Well, we clearly have a very different definition of terrorism then.
So if someone country took out let's say Macron and his elderly wife and French staff while they were flying from some government function it wouldn't be viewed as an act of terrorism?
quote:
Terrorism is generally defined as the unlawful use or threatened use of violence against civilians or property to intimidate or coerce governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It is characterized by premeditated, ideologically motivated violence designed to create psychological fear beyond the immediate victims
I'd say taking out Macron and his wife on a plane would qualify as intimidation to the French and would create psychological fear and uncertainty.
quote:
I'll start - if you're an organization that blows up an embassy (killing dozens), you're a terrorist organization.
Would bombing a leader of a country or a political figure and his family fit the same bill? You're gonna find yourself in a corner with these kinds of examples, bud. It's going to get real "double-standardy" real fast.

Point us to where I personally attacked you. The reason it comes across to you like a gotcha question is because you're very uncomfortable answering it with clarity.
I didn't mean you, I said the other two belligerents one of which called me a "phggt" and the other one wouldn't stfu about alt/shill etc. They had no interest in any real discussion and you know it.
If I don't immediately answer it doesn't mean that I'm uncomfortable. It just means that I'm thinking about it because it's a complicated question.
