In my entire life, I never thought the Republican Party would cave to Russia. The party of Reagan, the party of WWII hero GHW Bush, Vietnam hero John McCain… They are now a party that is feckless and weak, dominated by extremists with no real leaders.

@AmyMcGrathKY Here’s a little advice. You’ve run twice for Senate against a guy who literally has one foot in the grave & the other on a banana peel & have gotten trounced both times, maybe STFU scum.
@AmyMcGrathKY @CheriJacobus It happened in 2017 or before. Trump was the final straw.
@AmyMcGrathKY Thanks for bringing up GHW and McCain to remind me why the GOP sux.
@AmyMcGrathKY In other words, the GOP is being forced to adhere to the will of the people. What a tragedy.
@AmyMcGrathKY Or the Democrats stand and partner with Iran… who would of thought🤔
Be better at history… Nothing happening in Ukraine is worth and increase in the chance of nuclear war… The wise men who shepherded America through WW2 understood that Eastern Europe was irrelevant to US interests…that’s why revolts in Germany 53, Hungary 56, Czech 68, Poland 80 were ignored… Take ANY 2 semester US history survey class in college and get back to me where Ukraine is ever mentioned… And btw why didn’t we mobilize this armed response when Russia took Crimea in 2014? And finally save me the oh so hoary cliches about WW2 and appeasement of bullies…Hitler was only 43 and upon assuming power almost immediately started attacking his neighbors…Putin is 70 and in his 20+ years of rule he invaded…Crimea…and now Ukraine…wow…for a guy bent on revanchist acquisition he’s playing a really slow game…perhaps when he’s 100 he’ll attack Lithuania… Finally, Russia has now demonstrated its military cannot project force, lacks basic C&C, has weak logistics, second rate weaponry, and sketchy troop training and morale….the fact the western Intel did not know this before the attack on Ukraine is either sheer incompetence or corruption…there will be no attack on Poland etc.. Fundamental fact for those who worry about Russian expansion…taking an entire country over is not like the game of Risk… After WW2 Poland was destroyed. First the Nazis and Russian rolled through and carved the nation up then the Nazis blasted through eastern Poland as the Wehrmacht chased the Russians back to the gates of Moscow…where Russia reversed the fight and sent the German army fleeing back through Poland… As I wrote, Poland had been leveled…and the Soviets came in and installed their puppet govt…there was no resistance bc Poland had been through the wringer.. Poland was never profitable for the Soviets and like all its eastern bloc satellites became a huge economic sinkhole…does anyone think that a free Poland could be defeated and then made profitable by Russia? The Japanese plan in the pacific was to strike america at Pearl and thus give them enough time to conquer territories and then add these areas into a functioning economic unit…the Nippon empire never came close… I realize now when I admonished folks not to think of country conquering as Risk I should’ve added the addendum that no one’s the Borg either…countries cannot be assimilated…making war on hostile people, conquering them, and thinking those nation states will quickly become a cohesive piece of a greater whole…no, the country will be riven with dissent, guerrilla actions, bombings, labor slowdowns will render the conquered territory a hindrance not a benefit… Thus endeth the lesson…
@AmyMcGrathKY Tell the truth. Rational Ukrainian parents are rebelling. They don’t want their child sent to the charnel house.
@AmyMcGrathKY From whom should we borrow the money to fund Ukraine?
@AmyMcGrathKY Where have I heard this before?
