GOP to Tucker Carlson: We’re the decision-makers on Ukraine, not you
Politico ^ | February 1, 2022 | Andrew Desidero

Posted on 02/03/2022 8:04:45 AM PST by C19fan

Republican senators are unmoved by Tucker Carlson’s relentless warpath against support for Ukraine — even as it widens an existing rift in their party.

The Fox News prime time host and others on the far-right have excused and even rationalized Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine and downplayed its relevance to U.S. national security. And while GOP senators are shrugging off his name-and-shame campaign, Carlson’s views are permeating the GOP base in a way that could undermine Republicans’ efforts to emphasize cross-party unity as they seek to deter a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

<< Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a brief interview. “Russia is the aggressor. … Ukraine has every right, as a sovereign nation, to have their borders respected. Russia’s not doing that.” >>

Can’t remember Rounds getting this agitated about the fact that our very OWN borders are being disrespected and erased. Probably because he and his fellow globalist RINOs are collaborating with Biden’s puppet masters in doing the erasing.

I suggest that these RINOs provide their sons and daughters to be the cannon fodder for the traitorous, inept, generals like Milley Vanilli when the shooting starts!

Tucker is the only one I know who could have filled at least one of Rush Limbaugh’s shoes and probably the EIB mic.

This fur ball revolves around Biden’s refusal to guarantee that the U.S. does NOT support Ukraine’s entry into NATO.

Putin is asking for that assurance, and Biden is not giving it.

Wake up Biden (and huffy Republicans willing to sound the bi-partisan war drums).

Europe is already working the situation with consulting Biden, nor inviting him into the discussion (26 January meeting in Paris with Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany at the meeting, U.S. not invited).

These RINO war hawks and their buddies in the military industrial complex are only interested in their bottom line. They need to be ousted at every turn.

Of course they do. They represent the donor class.

It seems obvious to me that people CANNOT primary these RINOs. They are not popular with their base, yet they persist.

The Party controls the primary, I suppose. Get in the control or good graces of the Party, and you are well protected.

If they get us into a war that is totally unnecessary, they should feel the same burden felt by those they would send over there.

RINOs are worse than Democrats - because they commit equally vile acts in our name.

"...and others on the far-right..."

Well, if you're a leftwing communist/NAZI socialist, then a pro-America Constitutional Patriot would be to YOUR far right.

They need the war in an election year, especially the economy as bad as it is. And we’ve got plenty of boys to offer up as Cannon fodder.

It is entirely possible for us to support Ukraine without putting any US troops in the country. Weapons, supplies, and in particular up-to-date intelligence and satellite imagery. Doesn’t cost a single US life but might deter Russian aggression.

I think this is why they didn't want any serious vote fraud investigations - they have been using similar tactics to rig their own primaries for decades.
