At one recent rally, some of Trump's supporters said Putin should have free rein, while others advocated sending in U.S. troops.
...COMMERCE, Ga. — As former President Donald Trump tries to refine his message about Russia's war against Ukraine, his base is splintered over the question of America's engagement in Eastern Europe.
"It's not our business," Peggy Bright, 57, said shortly before Trump spoke to an unusually restless and muted crowd here Saturday night...
...Alina Roberts, a Trump voter who was born in Latvia and lives in Atlanta, said at Saturday's rally that Putin cannot be stopped without direct U.S. intervention....

I recommend to emotional people that they turn off the MSM, stop letting themselves be triggered by the 24/7 agitprop, and think - with their God given brains - about their own lives and what can be done to fix America right here at home.
Its not about the US getting physically involved, most Republicans believe more should be done to help the Ukrainians fight, such as sending Migs.
Nearly half (45%) say Joe Biden has been too cautious in supporting Ukraine. Again, this is driven by partisanship (60% of Republicans vs. 35% of Democrats).

I'm more concerned about all the pro-Ukraine people here that are actual leftists and neocons from America.
I think after the recent polling showing Biden at 40% it’s best to not trust the polls anymore.
We are so screwed.
Well said.
The End.
Yeah, I can see a situation where someone could easily feel that it’s too bad that they both can’t lose.
Splintered? As in the base disagrees with Trump over something? What?
Three paragraphs in it’s something about someone from Latvia but still nothing from Trump
NBC.com should get this straight- everyone agrees that if Trump hadn’t been shoved out that they’d be enjoying life at 2.50 per gallon and Ukraine would be nothing more than a subject in their kids’ geography class. So, no they’re not splintered.
Both countries are horrible. Russia is Russia and does bad acts. Ukraine is the annex of USA’s deep state and does bad acts. Let ‘em duke it out between themselves. No need to waste our taxpayer dollars, and lives of our young people in the military, on this war that Biden stoked.
If I wrote that headline, I would have used “shattered” instead of “splintered”. It’s all a lie anyway, why not get creative.
I put my application into the deep state false narrative pool (DSFNP). Waiting to hear back.
“it is their country, their future, to be decided by them.”
Except it is controlled by America’s corrupt Democrats and RINOs, so nothing really is being decided by the Ukrainians. DC is running the show to continue their money laundering, bio warfare experiments, etc., that they can’t legally do on American soil
Is this the same rally where the weather was horrible?? I suspect that has more to do with the “subdued crowd” than any “splintering of Trump’s base”.
From traffic here on FR, yeah, there are differences of opinion on how Ukraine should be handled, but not on support of Trump...
First of all US doesn't have a Monroe Doctrine anymore. Its also disingenuous to equate US trying to promote democracy to Putin spreading totalitarianism.
Liberaltarian isolationist is merely a soft word to describe Neville Chamberlainesque heads in the sands Leftists.
The isolationist libertarian fringe has crossed the rubicon. Some have stated it very clearly from their ranks, they believe that Russia and China are their allies against their delusions of a NWO globalist western conspiracy.
You can’t understand that and believe the libertarians are part of the conservative cause. Hell, they’re to the Left of RINOs and Biden.
You're missing the point-Putin invaded a sovereign neighboring country. Saying both countries do "bad acts" is nonsense. ONE INVADED THE OTHER!
Re: 25 - If we can answer fully the Powell Doctrine’s eight questions, that would be a start.

I support Trump to the hilt. I also support Ukraine against Putin. Regardless of Trump’s opinion on that subject, I still support him. The survival of our Republic rests on destroying the DemocRat Party and the globalist RINOs and their oligarch funders.
You’d think any Freeper with half a brain would get a clue about the leftist agenda of these globalist stooges when Bill Kristol went home to MSNBC and Max Boot went home to CNN.
1. Is a vital national security interest threatened?
2. Do we have a clear attainable objective?
3. Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
4. Have all other nonviolent policy means been fully exhausted?
5. Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?
6. Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?
7. Is the action supported by the American people?
