Wasn’t he a bit of a hawk before ?

Yes, but his view of America’s need to exert power and influence went beyond just pure hawkishness. He was a bit of an old Reganite in terms of his view on the way America should yield soft power as well, and so has been one of the biggest champions of USAID on the right ever since got a national platform

But it’s regressive. Equity matters more than distortion wrt taxes

Carving up a sovereign country with an ex enemy with no involvement from the country involved!
If they get away with this,who is next?Carve up Europe!

That’s the plan

The Uk will be added to the board game too,what a bunch of despicable toads in Washington and Moscow.

Several things are fascinating about this

  1. Only a couple of people have realized the flaw of the central premise of where this starts - that most of these covid restrictions were only broadly imposed under the Trump administration, and therefore were done so at the local level in ways that are very difficult to tie to the subsequent Democratic administration. Those who pointed that out are being treated like they are insane
  2. It very bizarre to me that it feels like the conventional wisdom on our response to Covid has solidified on “we over reacted and ruined people’s lives and we’re still waiting on our apology.” Even among non-partisans. Especially after the election that seems to be where a lot of moderates have settled.
  3. Continetti was a conservative who had seen the light 2-3 years ago. He wrote a highly regarded book about how the conservative movement was realty a sham that was inseparable from and largely driven by nativism. It seems he’s gone back to just parroting whatever line is coming out of the RW establishment.

Yes, the plan is clear. Topple Zelensky and force elections in Ukraine. Poroshenko or other oligarchs waiting in the wings.
Failing that, foment political chaos inside war torn and precarious Ukraine.

People underestimate the pure evil. The lenghts the US will go.

“I like [Zelensky] personally… he’s a good guy… but I personally don’t care. You have a leadership [in Ukraine] that has allowed the war to continue,” — Trump

Allowed the war to continue

Pure evil.

You know, having low approval ratings require new elections might not be a bad precedent for the US now.

Russia is capable of “very quickly” destroying 100% of Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, but does not want to do so.

Attack ongoing.

Also, Trump lies (of course) Russia has tried their best to destroy Ukrainian cities and have destroyed all of them in the east down to the smallest ruin. The only way Russia could destroy it more, is by nuclear launches. Fuck that bastard and fuck everyone who voted for him. Fucking evil degenerates.

I can see an opening for the Democrats. Will they take it?

More moderate is the winning option. More left is the losing option.
