Yay Tucker! Keep it up. We are sick and tired of wars fought for plutocrats.

Ukraine isn’t Sweden. Nor does it need to be.
How about if Putin tells you that if your mom would just be a good girl to him, he won’t rape and murder her? Fair deal?

The security interest is that the U.S. needs Ukraine in order to oppose Russia in the area. The reason we must oppose Russia is that they are attacking Ukraine (see above). ... The u.s. has a security interest in Ukraine. The security interest is that the U.S. needs Ukraine in order to oppose Russia in the area.

Lots of talk but very weak case for our “security interest.” Basically, she doesn’t make the case. Sort of like if we don’t stop Putin here he will attack Nato next. Which is just a total implausibility.

And what about what the Ukrainian people want? They wantED protection against a belligerent and expansionist Russia. The people want to join NATO.

We have more than one issue is that really too difficult to understand?

And that’s not Tucker’s real argument. His real argument was that we were going to attack Russia. He said that nonsense again and again every day.

Speaking of our southern border, if Putin is taking out a Western friendly regime in Ukraine, we should take out the Communist regimes in Cuba and Venezuela, to which regimes the Russians have close ties.

Russia already took a bite out of Finland in the form of eastern Karelia. And Putin has constantly stated that he does not consider Ukraine to be an independent state, but to be part of Russia.

Of all the suggestions I've seen, these are the ones that make the most sense.

And, contrary to Ukraine, a strong argument could be made that these actions would definitely be in our best interests.

Of course they wanted to join NATO, look what Putin is doing to them. But immoral useful fools here decided that Ukraine “belongs” to Russia.

I watch Tucker every single evening. On this issue he was disgraceful and outright lied to push his narrative.

On days when Biden withdrew our embassy, military and citizens and declared we would NOT fight Russia in Ukraine - Tucker would not even mention it and put on one sided guests who straight out said we wanted to “attack Russia”.

They also said sanctions were the same as attacking Russia.

They also said we’d be defeated - just as they had said we wanted to attack IRAN and that Iran would defeat us.

Tucker did his followers and our security a terrible disservice.

No more bloodbaths involving our troops. Europeans hate us but they love for us to clean up their mess. Let them clean up their own mess. We have a wide open southern border with every piece of crap from every where in the world pouring in here and Biden could care less. And this dust up between these two countries will result in more ''refugees'' pouring in here.

"People who worry that Russia, once it controls Ukraine, will invade Western Europe need to have their head examined. Russia lacks the resources to occupy Europe. They aren’t trying to take over the world."

People who worry that Germany, once it controls the Sudetenland, will invade western Europe need to have their heads examined....blah, blah, blah.

Cowardice, thy name is conservative.

After all, we wouldn't tolerate Mexico having a political, economic, and military relationship with Russia.

America is turning into Mexico. If only the dwindling Caucasus Mountain people could stick together, we'd be migrating to the new world Mars right now. Millions of years of the Lord's genetic and cultural R&D is being eaten alive by genetic and cultural evil. We walked upon the Moon, but we couldn't walk from the black rot of vanity and envy.

There was a window of opportunity for the world's white people to tame Earth's evil, but the evil was too weak and dispersed at the time. Instead, we needed a worthy enemy, an actual challenge, like that time we took out the Neanderthals. Hence, white people killing white began, with industrious efficiency and fervor.

I don’t think the argument is that there is no interest, the argument is that we have many more important issues.

Bingo!

“Well, OK, the US doesn’t have a vital security interest in Ukraine.
But a war would be really cool!”

Except of course Putin is just an old line communist and really believes that the world should be ruled from Moscow. He loves communism and the old Skoviet Union.

And the USSR was trying to take over the world

Why should I take our “intelligence” community and Biden’s word for what is in our security interest?

They are themselves inimical to US interests.
