The RINO playbook. Just replace “appeasement” with “bipartisanship”.

I digress.

It is a shame that all of these threads have become so ugly and rigid. Russia is the aggressor and what they are doing is horrible. I want to see the conflict end. I also want to avoid a larger conflict or God forbid, the use of nuclear weapons.

As I have said many times, I feel sorry for the powerless citizen on both sides who are paying a horrific price over the games played by elites. That is human history in a nutshell isn’t it?

Ask yourself how/why our State Department is getting so much of the money in the “Ukraine Aid Package”. Why? They did such a bang-up job in the sandbox and Middle East at large along with the Ukraine that we are going to reward them with a 13 billion dollar slush fund to work with globalist NGO’s?

It is possible to despise Putin AND the elites over the Ukraine. This is not directed at you, but it seems like it is easiest to just pick a side and be ugly to the opposite faction when in reality all of us should despise the elites who brought us to this point on BOTH sides.

Yes, Putin is the biggest corruptocrat in the picture but the Euros, our diplomats and intel agencies, the oligarchs in the Ukraine, and our media bear some blame too. They thrive on sowing chaos and the little people pay a big price. Where has all the money gone that we threw into the Ukraine over the past few decades? What did we get for it? What did the average Ukrainian get for it?

I want an accounting. Yes, Putin is #1 on the list but why are my children and grandchildren paying for these elite games in the Ukraine (again)? Where is all this money going? How did we contribute to this proxy war and who benefited from it?

Why can we not ask these questions without being called a Putinista? Again, rhetorical questions not addressed specifically to you.
