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.
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.
So what are you suggesting we do?
In deciding whether to take any more substantial opposition to Russia than meaningless expressions of outrage, western Europe won't side with the US. They don't want to freeze to death and have their economies destroyed from loss of energy. Even Canada has no willingness to give up their imports of Russian oil.
Countries don't have friendships. Countries have interests. Do you think it is in the best interest of the US to stand practically alone against Russia and China and harm the economies of our best allies in order to prop up Ukraine as an independent state?
Tucker is a fool
