Dream on, MSM, Trump's base ISN'T splintered unless it's splintered OVER TRUMP.

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 have not heard such rambling babble as the nonsense you posted.
You, sir, are on of them. You know, the ones that want war, but will not take your own children by the hand down to the recruiters office.
Go away, go far away. I hear karl rove needs a new assistant
Ever hear of Charles Lindbergh who argued for neutrality in WW2, before Pearl Harbor?
And in the last 20 years, we invaded two and assisted in regime change in several others.
We dropped so many darn bombs we ran out of them. Thanks, Obama and Biden, you sick POS warmongers.
We went to war over 3,000 lives lost on 9-11-2001, but Putin is a monster for saying enough after 14,000 were killed in Donbass?
No one’s hands are clean, especially ours.
Its easy to still support Trump and not agree with him on this issue.
For this administration I don’t think they’ve considered any of the 8 points, frankly.
replacing one totalitarian regime with another - so what? Just as we have worked to install puppet regimes in many countries.
Your fears are in alignment with the left.
How’s that feel?
Re: 84 - Not just Biden, but many, many FReepers here apparently have also not considered those eight questions.
One FReeper dismissed the Powell Doctrine because Powell was a “failure”. Would not even address the eight questions regardless of their relevance. When that happens, you can be fairly confident that people have not thought through those eight questions much.
So tell me, when was the last time the United States unilaterally invaded another country and annexed its territory? 1848? 1893? Agree with them or not, actions in Korea, Vietnam, and more recently in the Middle East we’re done under UN approval or in concert with other nations. Putin acts alone to satisfy his vision of the Motherland. So stop with the infantile nonsense.
“U.S. has military bases in more than 40% of the “sovereign” nations of the world”
The US is invited into every one. We don’t take territory. That would be Russia and China.
Thank God we have allies who understand the evil in the world.
Described from a media entity, who believes everyone should think the same way.
You have no idea how “democratic” those countries are. Turns out the U.S. government has been meddling in foreign elections even more than they claim Russians have been meddling in ours.
Personally, I think Powell is a scumbag. But the eight questions/points of what they call his doctrine are entirely reasonable and necessary, IMO, if we are going to get engulfed into something that could trigger a nuclear exchange.
Exactly.
Another war to protect people that hate us against people that hate us that profits a lot of politicians and MIC people, but destroys a generation.
Now, with nukes.
Nope..
I am aligned with Trump. Feels good.
The U.S. doesn't invade other countries to "own" their lands. We invade them to install governments that are willing to do business with the same global corporations that buy our own government.
Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley capture the essence of this perfectly. Does anyone ever wonder what the hell the voters of South Carolina care about the war-mongering globalism that defines these two stooges? They don't. Graham and Haley don't represent the voters of South Carolina. Rather, their rise on the U.S. political scene coincides with the decision of Boeing Corporation to invest a fortune in new aircraft production facilities in South Carolina. Graham and Haley are employed by Boeing, not the people of the United States.
Why is Lindsey Graham pushing so hard to have the U.S. military protect Ukraine, even while he's one of the worst in Washington when it comes to protecting our own borders? It's because Ukraine International Airlines was the first company from a former Soviet republic to buy Boeing aircraft for its fleet.
Lindsey Graham doesn't give a sh!t about democracy in Ukraine. If Vladimir Putin purchased Boeing aircraft for Aeroflot and that Zelensky dude was buying Airbus aircraft, the U.S. would be supporting the Russians in this one. In fact, the Russians wouldn't even need to invade Ukraine because the U.S. would have done it for them.
“the war-mongering globalism”
This phrase is defeated in reality. Peace through Strength is good old Reagan conservatism. When Russia acts as it has done in Georgia and Ukraine, three times now, it shows that the reality is that there is evil out there.
You'd think at least marginally intelligent people would figure it out after seeing U.S. military forces used to protect radical Islamic royal families in the Middle East for decades ... to "protect democracy." It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
If only he had lived up to that himself.
One of the defining moments of my teenage years was the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. The suicide bomber drove his bomb-laden truck past a checkpoint manned by guards who had no ammunition in their weapons.
That's when any interest I had in a military career came to an abrupt end.
"Peace through Strength," my @ss. At least Reagan was smart enough to bail out of that dump.
“claptrap where “good vs. evil” nonsense is peddled to gullible Americans to support corporate globalism has gotten old, dude”
The great thing about your conspiracy theories, are that you can fit them into anything you disagree with. Conspiracy theories of “globalist warmongers” are accepted by weak minded individuals, who can’t discern simple or complex realities.
You not accepting “good versus evil” is just part of the reliance on relativism, that is a destructive force in our society and the reality of that destructive force is widely accepted by most conservatives, but not liberaltarians.
