The number of Republican voters who are against the war in Ukraine has steadily increased. In March only 6% said that the U.S. is doing 'too much' for Ukraine. That number is now 48%. The Republicans in Congress have been pressing the Biden administration to better safeguard the enormous amount of weapon and money it is sending to Kiev:
Following concerns in Congress and accusations by Russia about weapons smuggling, the Biden administration released its blueprint on Thursday for ensuring that the $17 billion in arms it has so far sent to Ukraine were making it to the battlefield — and not the black market.
On October 27, nine months after the U.S. sponsored war started and after $17 billions in weapons and ammo have been send, the U.S. State department published a:
U.S. Plan to Counter Illicit Diversion of Certain Advanced Conventional Weapons in Eastern Europe:
The plan will be a whole-of-government effort implemented broadly across three phases: now through Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, FY 2024, and beyond FY 2024. It will focus on three lines of effort:
Bolstering the ability of security forces in Ukraine and its neighboring states to account for and safeguard their arms and ammunition during transfer, in storage, and when deployed; Strengthening border management and security in Ukraine and its neighboring states; and Building the capacity of security forces, law enforcement officials, and border control agencies in Ukraine and its neighboring states to deter, detect, and interdict illicit trafficking of certain advanced conventional weapons.
Add 15 points against Ukraine involvement to compensate for DS spin.
I’m active in the R party. Poll watcher. Big Desantis and Trump supporter. Absentee ballot collector, etc. And I’ve been against all support for Ukraine from the start. Especially after Vindman, CIAramella, Chalupa, Butisma, Biden, etc., What they did to Trump.
And Zelenske is a very wealthy grifter, laughing all the way to the bank.
The entire country is corrupt as hell!
We’re idiots for sticking our nose in there. It won’t end well.
What a giant scam.
Maybe RT News is giving Doug some true insights into what they are going to do. One thing—war with Russia is not a good idea in any case. It could go to WW III quick. USA and Poland, Maybe Latvia and Romania join in a move to strengthen Ukraine. We get hit hard, More troops sent in. NATO Splits Most go neutral, we are left holding the bag. US Ships are attacked, Troop planes shot down. War is declared after a Rambo Speech by Biden, Russia attacks Alaska after we hit Russian oil fields. China and North Korea join the fight and attack Guam. Brazil and south Africa join Russia as well as Iran and Syria. Starting to sound like August 1914.
I hear the Gulf of Tonkin is just off the coast of Odessa.
You posted the article and it is simple and straightforward.
The mystery is how in your mind you changed it all up into an entirely different story.
Keep the war in Ukraine going.
It is the only way to save Brandon from his actual accomplishments. Bad governments have a long history of using foreign wars to distract the populace.
No, Megan is not a paid troll. In my opinion she is completely wrong on this issue. But she has been a long time member contributing lots of useful opinions and I agree with her on many other issues. She is a rancher and family woman of some type out in Montana, or somewhere like that.
But the debate has become pretty embarrassing and hijacks threads.
McGregor was a very respected Colonel and is not a crackpot. Yep he gets paid by RT. So is/were Dennis Miller, Larry King, Jesse Ventura and many other intersting people.
Yep, it’s a government owned network.
But even a cursory look there shows a diversity of opinion that you don’t find in any of our own media. And shockingly, you can even add comments after news stories. Try that at FOX, CNN, MSNBC, MSN, etc. And many of the comments are pointedly against the story and are not deleted.
Speaking of government ownership of the media, BBC gets a pass. And our recently exposed fascist arrangement between social media and news giants and the DOJ/FBI to silence dissent and suppress stories makes the “RT is government owned” argument ring hollow.
As for McGregor, he’s a good guy with some interesting things to consider. He was discussing a plan Petraeus was pushing of a US force invading Ukraine to go force on force with Russians. Petraeus is making 200k a year minimum from KKR a globalist hedge fund with massive financial interests in the Ukraine ATM for insiders.
Bottom line, Megan was wrong to discount McGregor because he is paid by RT. RT is more balanced than any US network including FOX. You are very incorrect to call her a paid troll.
These “who is the paid troll” games are a waste of time. The fact is most people here came by their opinions honestly in their lives, education and experiences.
We all need to stick to more intelligent arguments than “paid troll”.

Careful! You’re going to stimulate orgasms in our resident globalist, neocon warmongers.
“No, Megan is not a paid troll.”
Thank you. And we live outside of Cody, Wyoming towards Yellowstone. If you’re ever up this way let me know and if you’re in an RV we have paved RV parking with hookups and septic.
I know we don’t agree on this subject but I’d enjoy the chat.
That sounds you have figured life out pretty well. And if you find a way that someone will give you mailbox money for posting on FR, please freepmail me.
It sounds like a nice idea but I like posting on here and would hate to turn it into a job. I’d have to stop posting on Sundays if it were work!
With US troops in the Ukraine supposedly seeing to it our donated weapons and dollars are properly used, it will only take one Russian missile strike on a building killing a US military personnel for Biden to quickly yell, “war.”
Thank you Desert Rhino for Post #27. You are exactly right. Rather than making personal accusations, we should all just enter the debate and seek the truth, and become better informed.
Ukraine is listed as one of the most corrupt Countries in Europe. Why would we want to give them money? Now we are sending military advisors to try and find out who stole the money and weapons. It looks like our deranged President is trying to start a proxy war with Russia.
It’s NOT a NATO partner, so get the hell out of that shithole. Let the EU morons handle it, if they can. Zelensky and Putin are both corrupt dictators. Other than all the illegal US BioLabs, we have no interest in that place.
Snicker that is Biblical...and by the way. I remembered it was Wyoming, but I said “Montana” to try to keep some weirdo from ever becoming some kind of nuisance to you and yours.
I am beginning to think that it may have only served to protect the potential weirdo rather than you. I think if the weirdo showed up... it would likely be a day he would remember grimly...albeit briefly.
I guess I’ve acclimated to Wyoming. Not really worried about crazy people any more.
I suppose if you live somewhere that a grizzly bear could show up in your backyard, it might create a level of self-confidence in a person
