It’s Ukraine gaslighting time!
American Thinker ^ | 28 Feb, 2022 | Terry Paulding

Oops! Nobody’s agreed to the narrative yet, so…?

They’re all scrambling, visibly uncomfortable, all the pundits coming on all the talk shows on cable news, contradicting one another and stepping on one another’s narrative. The hosts have become so used to having a storyline to parrot, they can’t stand it. They’re practically begging to be told the “right” tack to take! But Ukraine/Russia isn’t following a path that anybody predicted.

Biden and his administration are no help at all given he’s the one who practically invited Russia to come on in, then got upset about it. It’s not clear whether we’re heading into WW3, watching a mild skirmish that will end soon, whether Putin has lost his marbles or is being crafty and smart, or helping “free” some break-away sections of the country. It’s not clear whether Zelensky is an installed puppet (apparently by the WEF), or the brave patriot he’s currently appearing to be, ready to stand and fight for his country.

The various retired US military generals and other “experts” making the talk show rounds aren’t helping, either. One lays out the scenario that restricting Russia from the SWIFT banking system will break Putin. Another demands we set up a no-fly zone. Yet another, says that it’s all historical—that the whole thing started before the year 1000, and we just don’t understand. Another says that since Ukraine was in bed with Hitler in WW2, it’s still a hotbed of Nazi sentiment, and Putin is just weeding that out, at long last.

It’s almost as if they wanted this war.

“Trump was at CPAC talking about the border yesterday. My neighbors at the pool were talking about Ukraine.”

Trump also talked about Ukraine. And the border must be talked about also, since the United States is being invaded by an army much much larger than what the Russians have in Ukraine.

“We need to adjust tactically to avoid electoral wipe out for MAGA candidates.”

Absurd. In other words, hide/assent to the Biden administration’s destruction of the United States in order to convince Americans that we are pro-Ukraine?

That lying accusation that MAGA doesn’t support Ukraine means you have accepted MSM/Hillary Clinton propaganda.

I actually cut my Skype with my son short last night so I wouldn’t miss Viva Barnes. Great show as always. Just wish Barnes would get rid of that cigar. The show Viva did with historian George Szamuely was an excellent look at Ukranian/Russian history.

The GROPElite and Biden’s handlers (er, Biden) BOTH want the war. It is intended to make Biden strong, Trump look like a Putin stooge.

LOVE THIS.....

Today’s mass media talking heads don’t have their pre-printed focus grouped approved
common talking points and teleprompter scripts. Without their DNC approved gospel, they are lost.

And all the years of the Big Lie of “Russia, Russia, Russia”, have firmly convinced people that Trump and Putin are best buds.

And basically Mitt Romney is now a serious threat to run in 2024, and before I would have written him off, not so sure about that now.


I was thinking the same this weekend. GMTA. Dems and Fake News are pushing Romney HARD now. Trump has an Achilles heel on Ukraine. He needs to address it. I’m afraid he just doesn’t pay attention to the details here. He a billionaire builder. Foreign policy is not his interest.

And assuming Romney somehow is the Republican nominee in 2024, I don’t see him losing this time. He would wipe the floor with any Rat with Independents.

Senator Johnson was just on the radio calling Putin a “war criminal.” He’s on the ballot in 2022. We need to hear similar from President Trump now.

This isn’t a foreign policy parlor game now. It’s the biggest shooting war since WW2 in Europe. We can no longer allow the peace through weakness isolationists influence over our MAGA movement. They are electoral poison for the GOP and President Trump.

Americans love an underdog. The plucky Ukrainians are practically from central casting on that account.

I was stunned to hear my neighbors talking about Russian tanks running out of gas yesterday. Everybody loves the video of the Ukrainian guy asking if they needed a tow. LOL.

“We can no longer allow the peace through weakness isolationists influence over our MAGA movement.”

Trump — peace through weakness????? Do you know what the letters MAGA stand for?

There YOU go, parroting the MSM/democrat talking points. Can you cite just one example where MAGA is weak and isolationist.

No, Trump, who was president and probably will be again, should definitely not chime in and call Putin, whose mental stability is being questioned just now, a war criminal.
