Condoleezza Rice warns GOP candidates against pulling back from Ukraine: ‘These conflicts always come home’

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.

Trump is the only one.

I have respected Condoleezza Rice, she is very smart. Basically, she has removed herself from politics for years, shown no interest in higher office. She has no interest in returning to government, from her interviews. She was a good Secretary of State, IMHO, and seemed loyal to her administration. She has zero interest in siding with Russians or Ukraine.

The thing is, ultimately, she is correct. Conflicts like this frequently end up at our doorstep. This isn’t Vietnam, or any of the other skirmishes. I have no doubt that Putin and the Kremlin have minds set on re-establishing control of former vassal states. Including Poland, which will trigger WW3.

I don’t support either side per se in the Ukraine conflict. I think that the only peace will come after all Ukrainian territory is liberated. Then Russia will negotiate to end it, and likely end Putin. I see the US government and NATO giving just enough to continue the conflict, which is a horrible strategy for humans and the environment.

Yes I was. I have a different handle due to unfiltered honesty.

“We must fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here.”

So, does that mean we have to fight the Washington DC corrupt, traitorous criminals where they reside so we can keep them, our sworn enemies there, from destroying us over here in flyover country?

These neo-CON scum are nothing but one-worlders who hate our constitution and our national sovereignty. They are helping to usher in the one-world government and government surveillance system of the anti-christ.

Note how they want us fighting non-stop around the world, but they demand open borders and non-stop immigration into America. “Fight them over there” but let millions of them “immigrate” to america. These people are truly sick and are hellbent on destroying this country and the constitution.

Condoleeza says, ““And I just say, just remember dates 1914, 1941, 2001, these conflicts always come home.”

Perhaps she should remember the outcome of a few significant interventions the US has been involved in since WWII:
1948 - Fall of the Republic of China
1951 - Tibet annexed by China
1953 - Korean Armistice
1961 - Bay of Pigs
1975 - Fall of Saigon
1983 & 1984 - Beruit barracks bombing and US withdrawal from Lebanon
1993 - Battle of Mogadishu
2011 - US withdrawal from Iraq
2021 - Fall of Kabul & US withdrawal from Afghanistan

Not so much her, she was pretty open with her agenda, we just weren’t paying much attention to the long-term of it all and many thought nation-building was a grand idea. Now we know it isn’t and endless wars are a pointless loss of blood. Rice is a smart woman, but when it comes to these foreign adventures, she’s simply wrong.

The lady's been out of the loop too long to be taken seriously about anything except piano technique. I think it's apparent our corrupt representatives are trying to bolster and protect their favored illicit profit laundromat at our tax expense while repaying their military industry investors. Pretend-esident actually put the pensions of a foreign (and non-NATO) country's politicians over a small city's disaster? After blowing up Russia's pipeline and coming just short of bragging about it?

This regime and their puppet have to go ASAP for the sake of all Americans who still revere our nation's laws and legacy. This should have been Europe's problem all along with the U.S. providing moral and technical support (if anything). Billions upon billions flushed away for what? The nuclear hellscape we've worked so long and hard to prevent?

Trump too has said the U.S. should slow its aid to Ukraine and instead push for negotiations talks between Kyiv and Moscow.

This.

The Dark Trend Of Martial Law, Vigilantism and Public Humiliation In Ukraine

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dark-trend-martial-law-vigilantism-and-public-humiliation-ukraine

In a war setting the habit of governments is often to revert to the most ugly and barbaric forms of judgement and punishment, depending on the level of corruption among the officials in charge, so it’s not surprising to see many of these dark behaviors rising within Ukraine. However, for the past year the violence of martial law and vigilantism by Ukrainian soldiers has been mostly suppressed in western media and social media. In fact, posting video evidence of these activities would often get you banned on websites like Facebook and Twitter.

With the changing of management at Twitter, more and more examples are beginning to surface of one particular form of punishment, which involves strapping people to street signs and lamp posts, gagging them and sometimes stripping off their clothes and beating them.
