[Kazan]

War pigs and globalists keep beating the war drums. Hopefully, Trump will continue to resist them.

Why do you post Politico crap?

[JonPreston]

Please, will someone show this corrupt, old pig the door?

[9YearLurker]

The GOP neocons are despicable.

[GOPJ]

Politico? There’s NOT ONE conservative on staff... It would be like taking advice on race from a group that had never had ONE black person on staff for... for.. forever.

“””Please, will someone show this corrupt, old pig the door?”

He couldn’t find the door. And if he did he would forget why he was there.

[Macoozie]

““Will we defend democratic allies against authoritarian aggressors?””

Ukraine is not our “Ally”.
Russia did nothing to the US, or other NATO Allies.

[ProudDeplorable]

As soon as I saw McConnell was heading this, I stopped reading.

No, their reputations are on the line. Not America’s.

Most Americans couldn’t care less about Ukraine.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

America’s reputation is on the line. When we get deeply involved in forever wars, our reputation goes into the toilet and there are a million unintended negative consequences.

[cowboyusa]

Utter bullcrap.

Politico does regular Ob-Gyn exams on Linda Graham, however, Ukraine remains GloboHomoPedoNazi regardless of the “materiel” that Politico gets from Graham and publishes.

Why do you post Politico crap?

Whatever the faults are with Politico (in which there are many), the topic is about the senate hearing in which Hegseth was being dubious.

Hegseth is between a rock and a hard place when he has to support Trump's search for peace thru negotiations. Neither Trump nor Hegseth can pick a side in the war, even if they 'secretly' want Ukraine to win.

The takeaway from the hearings should be that, most senators support Ukraine in the war, and being wishy-washy is what is causing the war to continue with the many thousands of weekly deaths to occur.

[Petrosius]

Right, the ones who want to help Ukraine defend itself from a Russian invasion are the war pigs, not the Russians who want to conquer Ukraine. But I guess for some, the Russians can do no wrong.

[T-Bird45]

“The GOP neocons are despicable.”

It’s readily apparent the CIA has these neocons by the balls.

[iamgalt]

Mitch & Murk of course

[Dr. Sivana]

“Will we defend democratic allies against authoritarian aggressors?”

Democratic allies who topple an elected president and replace him with a president for life?

[Zathras]

This should tell all the Pro-War FR members all they need to know.
Polutico promotes Turtle and Linda in pushing more money to Ukraine.

[9YearLurker]

They’ve got all of Congress and much of DC by the balls.
