With a growing number of American voters expressing skepticism over U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Republican North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum doesn’t appear to be reading the room so well.
Burgum who is on Donald Trump’s short list of potential running mates, appears to be doubling down on the neoconservative impulse to engage the rest of the world via military force. Burgum has long been on record as stating that the U.S. is engaged in a cold war with Russia and China.
Now he’s being even more reckless, telling a reporter that “We’re at war with Russia, we just haven’t sent troops yet.”
Burgum went on to suggest that the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars and military aid being given to Ukraine aren’t “irresponsible” but are “a bargain” in that they are being used to “destroy a peer competitor.”
Doug Burgum: “We’re at war with Russia, we just haven’t send troops yet”
Sending money to Ukraine isn’t irresponsible, it’s a bargain
To the people who say we shoudn’t send money to Ukraine until we focus on our own border, we can do both pic.twitter.com/NISpUjxc0Z

What Burgum fails to mention is that this “bargain” is also pushing the world closer to armed conflict with a nuclear-armed foe.

This dumb putz should never have been on the list.
Unless Congress declared it, it is an illegal war.
Is it an illegal war? Did I miss the declaration?
Yes. This stupid move takes Burgum off the VP list.
We have American Soldiers in direct contact with Russian troops.
Tell him to take extra wool socks with him when he goes. Winter comes early in Ukraine.
Where?
I suggest the Governor don a uniform, grab a rifle, and charge the trenches in Ukraine.
Agreed. That statement alone disqualifies him from being the VP. I am no longer in his camp. But geez, who else is there?
What’s with these globalist yahoos and this “we” junk? What’s his Zeeper handle? I don’t see any of the mongers grabbing a rifle themselves.
Understand that Burgum made his money buy selling his company to Bill Gates and Microsoft. Fargo ND is still the second largest Microsoft campus. Few know that. Burgum will never act to rein in big
Our suspicions of Burgum being another Romney are now proven correct. Just another globohomo neoCON Bush lover.
Burghum was a dumb choice at the bottom of the list to begin with. This should take him entirely off the list. We don’t need a liberal GOPe as the post-Trump standard-bearer, and he adds nothing to the 2024 ticket.
Hey Dougie, what is your pal Bill ‘Mengele’ Gates’ position on this ?
He’s out!
Just say NO to this wacko.
He did not want to be VP obviously. Would you want your name on a list beneath Kamala Harris?
“ This dumb putz should never have been on the list.”

For sure. The last thing we need is to place more chameleons into office where they can then change their “color”.
Thinking like this is what will get us into a big war—a world war—Allies vs Axis. And in such a war Ukraine will be the first to go. People think we can not lose a war—we have in the past (Think CSA and CW) Japan thought they would always win, because of their code of Bushido—but they lost. This time we are fat and lazy—we make few things anymore. Will China sell us steel to make tanks? This time the war will be here! Russia is a lot closer to Alaska. They like fighting in the snow! If we lose, it will go hard for us.
