Warmongering Risks GOP Gains this November
By J. Robert Smith

This past Sunday, we were given indications of two possible November midterm election outcomes for Republicans.  They came on Maria Bartiromo’s “Sunday Morning Futures” program.  It featured Stephen Miller, who served as a top advisor to former president Trump, and Senator Lindsey Graham, an erstwhile ally of Trump’s.     

Miller’s remarks provided a sensible approach in the hope of ceasing the Ukraine conflict.  Graham’s remarks were a continuation of his unremitting bellicosity about the war.  Whichever perspective prevails before November will have a bearing on how voters see GOP candidates and cast their ballots.

Miller’s perspective is definitely more attuned to the American people’s sensibilities.  Polling since January consistently shows that Americans don’t want the U.S. military in Ukraine.  Graham’s constant banging of war drums risks alienating voters who are focused on the nation’s profound domestic troubles and are ready to throw out Democrats, wholesale.

Send fighter jets and shoulder-fired missiles to Ukraine.

"sensibility" is out the window.  The Peace Dividend lasted 30 years, but it's over.

Welcome to Cold War II.

The Russian army is bogged down in Russia, which means they can't be deployed elsewhere.  When the opponent blitzes, you attack the vacated zone.  They've fired 900 missiles, which means they have 900 fewer missiles.

NOW is the time to conduct covert operations in Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Kaliningrad, Belarus, Moldova, and Russian-occupied Georgia.

If we make the most of now, we can bleed and suffocate the Russians to the point that they will depose Putin.

Except, hasn't Putin made or is working on an 'alliance' with China and Saudi Arabia?? 

The other problem is, is that we have refused to allow Putin to pay off debt with his ruble -- and in turn, imagine if the Chinese do the same with the U.S. dollar to purchase goods or the Saudi's refuse the U.S. dollar to buy oil?? (Listened to Beck this a.m.)

That collapses the dollar allowing the great reset as planned; which I believe may be what Putin is trying to also avoid happening to his country.

With Joe in charge, I don't see how this country is ever going to recover, nor the GOP. There are too many RINO's in office; McConnell being the most destruction and Mittens.  At this point in time, I'm thankful for DEM Manchin and Gabbard taking a logical stand against Joe.  They're doing more than the GOP!

The Peace Dividend ended the first year after Defense spending fell below 3% of GDP (2000).  The last time it happened before where that 3% threshold was breached was in 1940.

No one made Putin invade Ukraine; that was his decision.

I have no sympathy for a Cold War Soviet relic like Putin.

When you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Ukraine is not Georgia nor Syria.  Europeans don't give a damn about people who live there.

We hoped that stealing Crimea would appease the Red Menace, but, apparently not.

I'm all for throwing some Javelins and other hardware to the Ukrainians and letting them duke it out.

Other than that this is a European war and they need to step up and assist.

We need to concentrate on China and Taiwan. That is a true national interest.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Taiwan is of greater national security concern to the US because of its domination of supply of microprocessors.

Still, we cannot trust Western Europe to do the right thing in Ukraine.  They have demonstrated that they are more than willing to let eastern and central European nations be sacrificed to the Russian wolf.  Look at Churchill and Stalin's "arrangement" for post-World War II Europe.

If we were really concerned about those microprocessors, we'd move that chip plant (and the talent that runs it) OUT OF Taiwan to somewhere the CCP can't get to so easily.

Because it's only a matter of time before China moves on Taiwan.
And THAT'S not worth a world war, either.

The adults in charge of US supply chain and risk management for the last 30 years have been asleep at the wheel.

You'd think. I know there are plants on the board and being built, but this needed to happen 5 years ago.  I agree @DefiantMassRINO people were asleep at the wheel.
