So, does rational thought and historical prophecy make “the Great One” a raving lunatic?
Is Levin still a raving #NeverTrumpMaybe but he's no magnet to the Fox News Stooges like Lindsey Graham apparently is.
His defense of William Barr was disgusting. And still is.
Same as he supported the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Is Biden projecting again? The deep state behind him wants to replace him but is dissatisfied with Harris as replacement. So how about the following as a creative option...
I am a regular listener, so I know what he said prior because he was a big Cruz guy, and what he has done since. Do you not think people can have a change of heart or mind?
You have to admit Trump was hard to read when he first announced based upon his history. Do remember he once said that Democrats are better at running the economy then Republicans because it seemed like republicans always get us into a recession. Then all his praise for Obama and Hillary during their heydays?
I figured he was a joke candidate like Pat Paulson, even though I liked what he was saying, but that didn’t make me a never Trumper.
It is brave of you to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian dies.
Not really. I just support Ukraine in their natural defense of their nation.
But it is brave of you to support Russian dictators while all the Russian people suffer and get jailed for protesting.
Let's ask ourselves a question that actually means something:
What are Putin's intentionscapabilities?
Benito Mussolini intended to reestablish the Roman Empire, but the Italian military was not quite up to the task - Mussolini's "intentions" far exceeded his actual capabilities.
Fast forward 75 years, and we're looking at 'Vlady' Putin, who has his own grand intentions (apparently described by Mr. Levin). But what are Putin's actual capabilities? Here on FR, there's a constant stream of threads suggesting (beyond any reasonable doubt) that Putin's conventional forces might rank right up there, NOT with the Soviet Union (or even Nazi Germany), but WW2 Italy.
The Russians apparently figured out how to cross a border, like Mussolini's troops, but 'blitzkrieg' didn't make it into their training schedule (nor did 'vehicle maintenance', 'operational security', QC on precision-guided munitions, etc., etc. ;>). The invasion is a gigantic 'cluster f#@k', with some folks even suggesting the Russians will have difficulty withdrawing back to their own borders if they need to.
The Russian military is falling apart at the seems, and Russian conventional forces are revealed to be a hollow shell. In other words, "Putin's intentions" far exceed Russian military capabilities. But guess what? We're still being fed the same old narrative: "Putin = Hitler!" and "Oh my God, we're all gonna die if we don't STOP PUTIN NOW!"
Mussolini would not have been impressed by Russian conventional forces, but he would likely have appreciated our establishment propaganda...
;>)
So you are against arming Ukraine.
Apparently you have comprehension problems.
No. I support sending weapons to Ukraine.
...and no I don’t support you supporting or bootlicking of Putin.
“I see several US interests in Ukraine.”
So, do those interests dovetail with the Powell Doctrine, irregardless of it boots are on the ground sooner - or later?
1. Is a vital national security interest threatened?
2. Do we have a clear attainable objective?
3. Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
4. Have all other nonviolent policy means been fully exhausted?
5. Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?
6. Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?
7. Is the action supported by the American people?
;>)
My problem with Levin was that Trump won the nomination in July, 2020, and it was a forgone conclusion a month before that, yet Levin stayed on the fence nearly up until the election. Petulant doesn’t begin the describe the way he acted. I don’t get what he was trying to do.
“Which would result in Ukraine becoming a vassal state under Putin.”
No, it does not. What a retarded statement to make.
Such a terrific point. Thank you.
Putin has been in high office in Russia for 20 years. If he wanted the USSR again then he has done a terrible job getting it. In other words, these USSR fears are driven by people that want war. Question their motives.
“Maybe Levin ignored what Putin published for you because he believes Putin was lying thru his teeth.”
Maybe Levin has no clue about that and is simply a war hawk like the rest of the eGOP. The history of Russia and Putin says Putin is making accurate statements.
“So, does rational thought and historical prophecy make “the Great One” a raving lunatic?”
Yes, since Levin made wild assed claims about what he claimed Trump would do if elected President and Trump did none of those things.
