I have repeatedly urged President Trump that it is crucial for this war to end with a decisive and unmistakable defeat for Putin and Russia.

Tone deaf.
Ted, stop listening to DC and get out and talk to voters.
Whether it’s Ted Cruz or Elizabeth Warren, when they say the war needs to end in an unmistakable defeat for Russia and Putin, not a single one of these politicians have offered any ideas on how to accomplish this goal.
It’s been 3 years and Ukraine is not going to drive Russia out of Ukraine, Russia has multiple times the population of Ukraine, Russia has the allies and industrial production to keep this war going.
What is being said but not verbally is we need US Ground Troops because the US is the only military that would have a chance to drive Russia out of Ukraine.
Any US ground force in Ukraine fighting Russia would be a catastrophic mistake.
Ted does not cope well.
Texas is overrun with illegals and Ted is worried about Ukraine.
Ted Cruz is a RINO hack McCain clone. I say do not fund Ukraine another dime.
Cruz should worry about Mexicans invading Texas more than Russians invading the Ukraine
Classic Trump
The war would have never happened but both the USA and Ukraine had the biggest idiot politicians in the history of the world in power in 2022 so here we are. Time to END IT as Trump promised.
No need to get Z’s approval, just go to Putin and get a cease fire on his side, force Ukraine to hold elections (4% approval isn’t going to get it done got Z), let the Ukranian people send Z on a one-way trip to Paris and then we’ll have peace.
Z does not want peace, he wants to kill every last Ukranian. There MUST be regime change first, it’s not hard to achieve because nobody likes this clown, especially not his own people.
And because we've already pi$$ed away so much blood, money, and credibility in Iraq and Afghanistan, everyone knows we've depleted our integrity capital.
I wish someone would confront him instead of just echoing his empty talking points. Force him to either say yes, he wants the US in the war, or to shut the hell up.
“Tone deaf.”
I agree. Ted is wrong on this issue.
He’s a neocon simp. Zero understanding of that place. Russia isn’t the bad guys here.
Cruz jams quite a lot into this short video. Including something I myself have been thinking. That Zelensky should step down.
Zelensky did not represent his country well either before the meeting (in not getting to a deal that could be signed in Washington), or at the meeting (in antagonizing Trump and Vance).
Somebody like General Oleksandr Syrskyi would make a good successor, and could wear his actual military uniform instead of a pretend military uniform.
Yes.
When these folks spew their defeat Russia and Putin nonsense:

All I can think of is how Dr. Evil wants sharks with frigging laser beams.
Teddy, you are WRONG!
And how exactly does he propose Russia is defeated?
With what money? With what troops?
Ted, then I am fine with letting Ukraine do what it wants to obliterate Russia, but I am not fine with our involvement, in any way.
FR spends a huge amount of time ridiculing the DEI approach to the military, and ship collisions and things like that.
Has it not occurred to folks that this bespeaks devastating weakness of the military? We lost in Afghanistan and Vietnam and you can make a case for losing Iraq, too. What happens if you sent troops to Ukraine and Russia defeats them and kills 1/2 of them? They would have the shorter supply lines. They would have terrain familiarity. Why would anyone think this is not conceivable?
I can’t think of any other scenario more likely to force use of US theater-yield nuclear weapons. If you ship in 50,000 people and 25,000 are getting killed, how can you NOT use nukes to save the remainder and cover a humiliating defeat?
This is all from believing our own propaganda about superiority. It’s very dangerous.
