The guys at the Duran say that many of the neocons are Trotskyites - dangerous promoters of chaos.

When one’s own country is in grave disrepair, I would argue that said country is in no shape to fight a war, much less win it, proxy or otherwise.

The warmongering neocons are wrong. Their policies are not based on sincerity. Rather, they are based on serving the military industrial economic interests. The stated goal of stopping aggression and/or protecting democracy amounts to no more than an insincere cloak righteousness.

George Washington was an isolationist.

Right after he and the Continental Congress begged for, and received, massive monetary and military assistance from France that turned the tide of the American Revolution.

Every time somebody wants us to get involved in a war, its suddenly the 1930s all over again (for about the 12th time now) and whoever they don’t like is Hitler.

Its not the 30s. Putin is not Hitler. We have been weakened by among other things, wasting a huge amount of money in the constant foreign wars we’ve been involved in since Desert Storm over 30 years ago. Our main opponent is China, not Russia. We should have been seeking ways to split Russia off from China as much as possible - not driving Russia into China’s arms.

Aside from China, the biggest threat to America is its own corrupt deep state which is aligned with their fellow globalists abroad. They are the ones who orchestrated the current war in Ukraine in the first place. They also stole an election and installed an eminently corrupt regime headed by an obviously senile old kleptocrat.

#8: Excuse me? Perhaps you should search articles posted here after 9/11/2001. If you weren't behind taking out Saddam and the Taliban, this was the wrong site for you.

It was after Obama was elected that we started losing. Obama followed suit with what Ted Kennedy did in 1975 to funding South Vietnam.

He threw away what was already won.

Who is we? Imo, “We” started “losing” way before Obama.

David Horowitz is totally wrong on this one.
For our freedom and liberty to survive, the corrupt , sleazy, very woke, Dementia Joe supporting regime in Ukraine must be beaten.

I think our politicians are so interested in saving Ukraine because it’s the corrupt money laundering state where they get all their illegal kickbacks. While they were screaming Russia Russia it was Ukraine who tried to defeat president Trump. Now they send Billions of dollars to Ukraine and refuse to put any oversight over where that money goes. We are being ruled over by corrupt scum.

BINGO!
That's why Pelosi visited Ukraine. To secure arrangements for the kickbacks.

Well put, wish I had written it.

Is it me? I remember prior to President Trump's Campaign nobody seemed to care what a murderer Putin was. Wall Street was all for investing in Russia. Heck Obama even had Putin do a Judo demonstration at the White House.

Tucker had a monologue on how the Dems Russia, Russia, Russia ploy drove the first wedge between US and Russia relations. It was the start of the new cold war.

Empire abroad = empire at home.

Progressives, central-planners and woke radicals succeeding at promoting globalist ideology abroad is a direct threat to freedom and limited government at home.

George Washington was an isolationist. I’m with George.
Count me in. Not a penny more to any foreign government until we get our own financial ship in order. The ship is taking on water.”

I agree.

In April 1941 Germany had conquered all of Europe except England,

And the Soviet Union. Horowitz omits that crucial detail.

Germany suffered most of its casualties on the Eastern front, and would have failed to conquer the USSR even without U.S. intervention.
