Gingrich: Ukraine ‘Now Worse than Afghanistan’

Jeff Poor 4 Mar 2022

Friday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich decried how the Biden administration was handling the escalation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia.

Gingrich told host Laura Ingraham the unfolding situation in Eastern Europe was now “worse than Afghanistan.”

“[T]he fact is, after watching the disaster in Afghanistan, I wasn’t convinced that it was possible for the American government to be even dumber, more destructive, and more dishonest,” he said. “This is now worse than Afghanistan. If you want to help people of Ukraine, get them weapons. Get them weapons tonight. Get them weapons through the CIA. Get them weapons through covert means. Get them weapons by contracting with private contractors. But what the Biden administration is doing is an absurdity. If they were going out of their way to weaken the United States, they could hardly do a better job.”

“Punish the American oil and gas industry, try to buy oil and gas from Russia and Iran, our mortal enemies at the present time, and at the same time, ask the Russians to take the lead in Vienna in cutting a deal with the Iranians,” Gingrich continued. If you were Putin and you are sitting there watching all this, and you know the Americans are trying — the American government wants to buy your oil, and you know that the $1 billion a day you’re making out of oil finances your entire worse, so who cares about sanctions, this whole thing is an absurdity. It is dishonest. It is intellectually corrupt. And frankly, it’s embarrassing to have the Defense Department that is incapable of getting aid to the people of Ukraine.

“With reasonable amounts of the equipment, and with things like targeting information, the Ukrainians could dramatically raise the cost on the Russians,” he added. “And you’re going to have to do that because, I will tell you flatly, the Russian doctrine is to win. They are going to escalate as much as they have to. They are going to do whatever they have to. If that means taking out a nuclear reactor, they’re going to take it out. If that means using barbaric weapons against innocent civilians, they’re going to use barbaric weapons. Just look at Chechnya and look at what Putin did there. Why would we think he’s going to back off unless he loses?”

Interesting study in conflicting interests. Russia, China, Soros, and Ukraine, all have so much dirt on Biden and his crackhead deadbeat son, any one of them could make Biden dance a little jig while wearing a fake mustache at his next press conference. They could make him do anything, and the same applies to most of Congress in both houses.

The comedy comes in when we realize that each of these 'special interests' has differing and in some cases conflicting concerns. This must be 'walking the tightrope' time for so many in D.C. being pulled by blackmail and bribes in so many different directions at the same time. Whom do they obey when appeasing one while disobeying the other could lead to disaster?

Reminds me of the married man who has multiple girlfriends and all of them want a date next Friday night or they will tell his wife. Pleasing one angers all the others. No easy way out. And, it is a stupid problem he created for himself, brought on by insatiable lust and greed.

Sooner or later one of Biden's mistresses (most likely Russia) is going to tell the wife (i.e., the press) and there is no way to tell how many corrupt Congressmen will be brought down with him.
