Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned on Sunday that potential 2024 GOP presidential contenders who have called for the U.S. to pull back its support for Ukraine in its war with Russia should be careful with their words.

During an appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” moderator Margaret Brennan asked Rice about recent remarks from former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) criticizing the U.S. for its robust support for Kyiv.

Condi Rice is one of the early affirmitive action hires.

Candace Owens isn’t a squishy Bush disciple. Therefore, she’s not acceptable to the mindless media, and corporate elites.

How dare anyone question an undeclared proxy war the Constitution gives the federal no power to wage.

“Maybe if we stopped pouring hundreds of millions of dollars to Zelensky...”

It’s quite possible that he is threatening to expose Joe/Hunter/James criminal activities and is blackmailing Joe into sending him our money.

Condoleezza Rice should be quietly volunteering at a veterans hospital along with Bush II and Cheney.

Being that none of them appear to be facing charges for war crimes at an international court anytime soon, this would probably be the next most palatable remedy.

It seems like a big part of the pro-Zelky narrative is missing from public discourse. Just simply braying doom or else, doesn’t make any sense at all.

Remember when FReepers salivated over Rice and Bush throughout the 2000s? We were totally lied and conned.

Trump led us to the light. Not only that, but no one misses Saddam. If he was still in power today, his sons Qusay and Usay would be in charge. We may have to address them.

As for the Broncos, she is just worth 12 million. About like a local attorney, doctor or successful realtor in an average city.
You didn’t know that was enough cash to buy a 4.6 billion dollar NFL team?

You weren’t here back when many FREEPERS would have crawled over broken glass to vote for her for POTUS.

“but we’re defecting a rule- we are defending a rules-based system that says might doesn’t make right, you can’t just extinguish your neighbor,” Rice told Brennan.”

Ok Condeleeza.... but it’s ok to wipe out Libya for no reason? It’s ok for the western Ukes to do ethnic cleansing in the Donbass and pond them with artillery?

Guess it depends on which neighbors for her.

The Muslims attacked here on 9/11. A counter-punch was necessary, imo, but it seems that the punch didn’t land where it needed to.

Has Rice been to Ukraine to pick up her share of the loot yet? Or, is she still in line awaiting her turn?

All these politicians, consultants, advisors, and “experts” sure are ready to get us in a war in which conservative young men will be the ones asked to go volunteer for the body bags. Meanwhile, they will be sitting in their gated communities eat high dollar beef dinners, or on CNN, explaining to us why more body bags are better than none.

True but IMO a more discriminating immigration policy is a far better remedy.

But the ‘fight em over there’ types won’t have any of that.

Looks like she’s the leading expert on Russia.

Condoleezza Rice

Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condoleezza_Rice

[Excerpts:]

High school and university education

“She attended an International Politics course taught by Josef Korbel, which sparked her interest in the Soviet Union and international relations...She also studied Russian at Moscow State University in the summer of 1979, and interned with the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California.[23] In 1981, at age 26, she received her Ph.D. in political science from the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. Her dissertation centered on military policy and politics in what was then the communist state of Czechoslovakia.[24]

From 1980 to 1981, she was a fellow at Stanford University’s Arms Control and Disarmament Program, having won a Ford Foundation Dual Expertise Fellowship in Soviet Studies and International Security.[23] The award granted a year-long fellowship at Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology or University of California, Los Angeles...Rice was one of only four women – along with Janne E. Nolan, Cindy Roberts, and Gloria Duffy – studying international security at Stanford on fellowships at the time.[25][26] Her fellowship at Stanford began her academic affiliation with the university and time in Northern California.”
[...]

Academic career

She was a specialist on the Soviet Union and gave lectures on the subject for the Berkeley-Stanford joint program led by UC Berkeley professor George W. Breslauer in the mid-1980s.

At a 1985 meeting of arms control experts at Stanford, Rice’s performance drew the attention of Brent Scowcroft, who had served as National Security Advisor under Gerald Ford.[30] With the election of George H. W. Bush, Scowcroft returned to the White House as National Security Adviser in 1989, and he asked Rice to become his Soviet expert on the United States National Security Council. According to R. Nicholas Burns, President Bush was “captivated” by Rice, and relied heavily on her advice in his dealings with Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin.[30]

[...]

Chevron was pursuing a $10 billion development project in Kazakhstan and, as a Soviet specialist, Rice knew the president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev. She traveled to Kazakhstan on Chevron’s behalf and, in honor of her work, in 1993, Chevron named a 129,000-ton supertanker SS Condoleezza Rice.[30]

It would be easier to have Hillary’s team take care of that.
