If our Republican majority in Congress funds Joe Biden’s war against Russia on behalf of Ukraine (because he’s a puppet on strings) then Republicans are tools of the foreign war loving deep state.

You have to be a complete moron to believe this. There's not a word about Russia's invasion (or elsewhere about Iran's terrorist activities vis a vis Israel), etc. It's as though somehow no other countries are involved and the US magically "created" all these scenarios and the enemy doesn't get a vote. It's deranged.

I don't think the Left is wrong about everything: just almost always wrong about the solution. When Pocahontas complains about monopolistic US corporations robbing Americans blind, she's right. It's just that she wants to replace rapacious and criminal executives with rapacious and criminal regulators. I would prefer vigorous anti-trust enforcement with reduction in taxes, eliminating mindless regulations and protection from "free trade."

The same is true about foreign wars: many of them are justified. What I oppose is a waste of US lives and money by an American elite that refuses to win and lives in la la land so that they refuse to acknowledge what the conditions for victory are before they engage. You want functioning democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan? Ok, be prepared to kill 10-20% of the population to get them to behave. If you're not willing to do that, STFU about democracy and put in stable dictatorships that can protect our interests and that will at least be less murderous than their predecessors.

I can’t support a war overseas when the government’s boot is stomping on my face here at home.
