Burgum: ‘We’re At War with Russia, We Just Haven’t Sent Troops Yet’
American Greatness ^ | July 3, 2024 | AG staff

Posted on 07/04/2024 11:21:48 AM PDT by chickenlips

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

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

“Did I miss the declaration?”

You apparently missed all of them.

Starting with North Korean invasion of South Korea, 25 June 1950.

The latest being Russian invasion of Ukraine, 24 February 2022.

From Wikipedia
“No formal declaration of war has been issued in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. When Putin announced the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, he claimed to commence a “special military operation”, side-stepping a formal declaration of war.”

As we close in on the most important election in my lifetime, I urge you to refresh your image of the horror of WAR.
Why?
Because this 2024 election is between the America hating Soros, Obama, Marxist Democrats & RINOs allied $$$$ Military-Industrial Complex WAR HAWKS and DONALD TRUMP!
President Trump has often declared abhorrence of events such as those depicted in films like “Hamburger Hill” & diplomatically avoided several situations between 2016 & 2020 that could have led to war!
Doesn’t concern you? Have or going to have kids?
Think about YOUR KIDS ON THAT HILL as the MIL-IND COMPLEX & their bought & paid for DEEP STATE flunkies laugh all the way to the bank!
It sure as hell concerns all of us...or should!
FILM HERE: (FREE!)
“HAMBURGER HILL”

I was merely pointing out that the US feral government is conducting an illegal war in Ukraine, and this clown Burgum admits it and can't wait to shed US blood over there (yeah, I know, we're already there and have already shed a lot of blood).

This should eliminate him from list of potential Trump running mates.

Burgum is as bad as Mike Pence.

E, that wasn't aimed at you. Just trying to remind folks that General Smedley Butler was right: War is a RACKET...a very PROFITABLE one...unless one of YOUR loved ones comes home in a BOX!

SURELY Trump isn’t dumb enough to put Burgum on his ticket! The Deep State would almost certainly assassinate or impeach Trump just to get that neocon war pig in power! That’s how bad the elites want “boots on the ground” in Ukraine.
