I doubt it.

The Ruling Oligarchy seems to be desperate to get the old war fever going again.

You guys need to get your story straight.

On the one hand, all the stories about strong Ukrainian resistance are a lie, and Ukraine will fall any day now to Russia just as Douglas MacGregor predicted.

On the other hand, the war is going to drag out for months as part of some neocon/deep state plot to distract all of us from Covid (or whatever) and put George Soros in charge of us all.

Russiagate.
Chaos on the border.
Suffocating debt.
Persecution of peaceful Jan 6 protestors.
Daily propaganda briefings from the press secretory.
Corrupt FBI, NSA and CIA.
Lawlessness in blue cities.
Incompetent woke military leaders.
Widespread election fraud.
Runaway inflation.


I don't think so.

Trump pushed GOP hawks to the sidelines. Will the invasion of Ukraine bring them back?

Why isn't yahoo news this inquisitive about the Dems wanting to go to war and being "hawks"?

That is much more of an anomaly than Republicans being hawks and having a respite for 4 years with DT.

They came right back out after the last election. We are paying the price now. Hope to heaven it doesn’t get worse.

I will not vote for RINO chicken hawks like Romney and Cheney ever, not even in the general.

Nothing is bringing them back.

Hawks were horrified when Reagan agreed to meet Gorby in Reykjavik, they felt Reagan betrayed them.

This is one of those Yahoo articles that doesn’t allow comments, because commenters might provide more insight than the article.

Man, have you been reading the posts here? As Trump’s influence fades, their old latent neoconism re-emerges. The responsibility for the twenty year quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan belongs to me, thee and GWB. Count me out of this one. Nothing short of pulling Putin out of his spider hole in Moscow will satisfy many of these ex MAGA proponents.

I’d really like to see Putin make a public request to speak with President Trump about his ceasefire options in Ukraine….even assuming such a meeting would never happen.

Some clarity is needed here, between “militarists” and “militants”.

The former love uniforms, parades, and beating the drum for war, emotionally craving “the thrill” as seen back home, far from the actual fight. They also lust for the riches of war, most of which come from creating the goods of war. The smallest subset see war as a political opportunity for their side, and will opportunistically turn against it when the opposition is elected.

The latter, “militants” are the ones who will have to fight the war. They realize that war is foul smelling, expensive, should be done as briefly as possible, filled with boring work, hurts innocents far more than the guilty, and most of all, comes about because of failure of diplomacy. Yet they also realize that some or bound and determined to cause it, and they must be stopped.

So-called ‘Neo-Cons’ are armchair strategists, who only deserve a minute or two in any discussion of war, then should be asked to leave the room. Leftists should never be allowed to enter the building, much less the room.

The is the whole point of the propaganda about the war in Ukraine.

The establishment class knows Democrats are going to get wiped out in November but want the neocons back in charge of the GOP.

President Trump is perfectly capable of making correct decisions on such matters without “hawks” trying to convince him to start new wars ...
