What a great alliance we have when the big nation bullies the smaller ones.

The US is no longer the good guy on the world stage.

Agree. Biden's foreign policy has been an absolute disaster. But then this is also true of his domestic policy. We expected he would be bad, just not this bad.

Look to Moscow for purchases. The Russian stuff is performing better in the field.

The United States treats an ally properly only when the ally behaves like a toady, and agrees to every American demand.

Otherwise the ally is treated like a naughty child, one who must be sent to bed without supper. But that’s still better treatment than other nations get. Those nations often get invaded.

US foreign policy is to make the world safe for perverts.

Hungary is not on the pervert team.

“Risch became a millionaire as one of Idaho’s most successful trial lawyers.”

“Risch ran for the U.S. Senate seat held by the retiring Larry Craig in the 2008 election....Risch was reelected in 2014 and 2020.”

“On January 21, 2020, during the first day of opening arguments in Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, Risch was the first senator to fall asleep.”

“Risch was participating in the certification of the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count when Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol. He called the attack ‘unpatriotic and un-American in the extreme’ and suggested it was spurred by ‘deep distrust in the integrity and veracity of our elections.’”

Consider this. The US hasn’t been the “good guy” for a very long time....like...every time the Democrats and RINOs are in control and making the military decisions. I think the last time we were the good guys was back when Reagan was president. That was decades ago. Sad and scary reality...but explains a lot. Like how God seemingly has turned away from America now.

What would Hungary need HIMARS for?

“24 HIMARS rocket launcher batteries, and more than 100 rockets and pods”

Ukraine probably has priority anyway.

RFK Jr. made a good point in one of his speeches.

After the emergence of China on the world stage their path and ours has been drastically different.

For the past 30 years, China has gone around the world building bridges in Africa, building roads in South America, building schools in the Middle East, building factories in Asia, etc... They tell the people, “If you are on our side will will give you tools to make your people’s lives better.”

They are certainly trying to spread their influence and gain control over the local populace but that is the method they have chosen.

On the other hand, the US has gone around the world selling arms to dictators, oligarchs and 3rd world shit holes to fight other countries and oppress their own citizens. We tell countries...”If you are on our side, we will help you kill people to maintain your power.”

You are right. We are the baddies.

It’s pathetic. These are not American values. Notice that it’s a piece of chit Republican doing this. The vast majority of Republican politicians have no idea what the average voter thinks and does.

True. But, why in hell are you supporting DeSantis, who flip-flopped on the proxy war in Ukraine and sided with the globalists and Republican establishment on the issue?

That makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever.

Tucker absolutely right yesterday. Trump's hated by the establishment and Deep State because he opposes neocon foreign policy, which is being used a way to enrich our political class and oligarchs.

Ukraine ping

Erik Latranyi: [What a great alliance we have when the big nation bullies the smaller ones.]


Bullying would be what Russia is doing to Ukraine today, and what Russia did to Hungary in 1956. We’re not invading Hungary, let alone annexing it. Heck, we could probably get Hungary expelled from both NATO and the EU. We’re not doing that either. Hungary is free to buy Chinese or Russian arms. There is literally an entire world of alternative arms suppliers out there. Hungary is free to avail itself of those opportunities.

Risch needs to be primaried. Idaho can do much, much better than this cretin.

The alliance is about mutual defence. It ain’t about buying only NATO made weapons.

Poland recently bought tanks from South Korea, which ain’t a NATO country

WE are the (neo) Marxists now. DC is the new comintern. Its pushing a post-modern, globalist, humanist ideology, one that believes society can be remade into one eco-friendly, gender, racial paradise, that fights systemic oppression of the ruling class - and now race, and gender

Meanwhile, those at the center profit greatly, and maintain power through promotion of this ideology and empire. And at home, a security state has developed to suppress dissent.

We will spread chaos to small, and non-compliant nations around the globe in service of this ideology and empire.

Does that sound at all familiar?
