Mike Johnson Backs Allowing Ukraine to Strike Russia with U.S.-Provided Weapons
Breitbart ^ | 05/22/2024 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 05/22/2024 1:14:44 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday appeared to back allowing Ukraine to use American-provided weapons to strike Russia or Russian-controlled territory.

One reporter asked Johnson about a House Intelligence Committee letter calling on the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with American-supplied weapons.

The letter stipulates that this would allow Ukraine to strike “Russian-controlled territory” as well as Russian territory and represents a significant escalation in America’s seemingly endless proxy war against Russia.

The Russians are so lucky they have you to defend them.

“The Russians are so lucky they have you to defend them.”

I’m not defending the Russians. I’m calling you out for your hatred and racism. I doubt you’re even an American. Many of our ancestors left the old country to escape religious and ethnic hatred and persecutions. Now here you are, trying to stir this up in America.

You’re one of the biggest imbecilic gasbags to have ever posted on FR. You can’t see beyond false analogies. Your reasoning (and it’s a stretch to even call it reasoning) is rooted in misapprehension and misconception. Ukraine is not being destroyed...yet. It’s being damaged. If what you’re promoting happens, there will be so little left of Ukraine that what remains of it might as well be absorbed by the surrounding countries.

Nobody came to help Armenia.

“...there will be so little left of Ukraine that what remains of it might as well be absorbed by the surrounding countries.”

This is Ukraine’s SECOND chance at self-administration following Holodymyr.

(Not counting when Germany messed with Russia).

I need to stay off of these Russia/Ukraine threads. I tend to do my own sort of escalation. I apologize for being a bit harsh. That seems to be how these threads go with a lot of people and not just me doing it.

I know I lack the influence to affect U.S. policy and am guessing you probably do, too. Just have to wait and see how the war plays out. Maybe there won’t be as much death and destruction as I’m expecting before this thing is over.

So, stop being so blind,and stop trying to rationalize Putin;s invasion. Only Putin would find your posts satisfying.

I have never written anything positive about Putin on this forum. However, the underhanded pattern of activity that took place which was orchestrated by western intelligence agencies along with George Soros and others over many years was intended to provoke the Russians into a confrontation. There are many here like you who blissfully ignore the root causes of what has taken place. It should be an embarrassment to repeatedly post ignorant nonsense and intentional mischaracterizations, but because you have been completely duped by unending and relentless propaganda... most of us with a different point of view refrain from name calling.

But a little self-reflection might be helpful to you. It should be a clue to you when you are on the same side of any issue as Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Greg Casar, Delia Ramirez and the rest of our current cadre of DC swamp creatures. Do you also support black lives matter, and defunding the police? Do you support secretly flying millions of military aged illegal immigrant men directly from locations in hot spots throughout the world to strategically selected areas through the USA and putting them up in posh motels with taxpayer funds? Do you support letting men pretending to be women using the same bathrooms as little girls? Do you also support using lawfare with federal, state and local authorities to keep Donald Trump from taking back his rightful position as President of the United States?

President Trump has promised to quickly end the madness in Ukraine, and he will. His solution does not include sending unending $$$ hundreds of Billions of unaccounted taxpayer funds to Ukraine to further provoke the Russians into WWIII.

This situation is one of the largest swindles in history with the biggest victims being hapless Ukrainian men and boys who have been slaughtered by the millions not to defend their country but to provide a cash cow for corrupt politicians. But you just keep spouting out the same nonsense day after day. Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Greg Casar, Delia Ramirez and the rest of our current cadre of DC swamp creatures thank you for your efforts.

You’re one of the biggest imbecilic gasbags to have ever posted on FR. You can’t see beyond false analogies. Your reasoning (and it’s a stretch to even call it reasoning) is rooted in misapprehension and misconception. Ukraine is not being destroyed.

Imbecile gasbag?

You win the argument. That is, if the argument is about who can throw out the most or biggest insults in lieu or making a coherent argument and/or one that offers real responses.

Your argument is total nonsense, and if imbecile is to be used as a description, then, it's an imbecilic argument.

Up to now, Ukraine has suffered trillions of dollars in damage, and if that's just 'damage', then you had better go back into your mother's womb to hopefully grow the brain which never developed.

To undo the destruction, or to rebuild Ukraine, would require trillions of dollars and decades of rebuilding. To rebuild the lives lost from the invasion, well, it's not possible. So, in fact, Russia has destroyed Ukraine. Destruction is the only way to put it, and 'damage' is the idiot's way of putting it.

I don't need to promote anything, since, what Putin and Russia and your kind have done up to now, is the actual destruction of Ukraine, and that's been happening way before any arguments I've made in support of the Ukrainian people and for Ukraine as a country.

Keep it up. Putin appreciates your efforts in his behalf.

What about the freedom loving Armenians. What would not be missed at all, is you, if you had never been born at all; in fact, you would not be missed at all if you were to suddenly leave the world, but then, nobody would know about that, since, you're a nobody. Nobody misses a nobody.

Not true.

keeping quiet while the world is burning, comes back to burn you and everyone around.

If everyone thought the same as you, we might as well not even exist.

We can vote to effect change, but, voting is not the only way to improve the world, and those who speak the l0udest tend to be heard the most. It's the 'squeaky wheel gets the grease' argument. Speak now or forever hold your peace/piece (whichever applies in your case).

I think these Russia/Ukraine threads are a waste of time which is another reason I should stay off of them. I can’t recall a single time a person’s mind was changed because of the content of those threads. Peace out.

That's garbage. Putin was looking for the slightest excuse to go into Ukraine, and his ambition to reconstitute the Soviet Union did not need any excuse. Putin's provocation was his desire to rebuild the USSR. He's stated that goal many times in the past. So, stop the justification and rationalization. It's dumb.

Even more garbage coming from you.

I've never been on the side of any of those people you mention and could never be.

In fact, I'm not even with Biden on the issue of Ukraine, since what Biden is doing now is the opposite of what he would be doing, if not for his debacle with the Afghanistan pullout. He is supporting Ukraine only to not have another Afghanistan-type debacle. I, on the other hand, would be for support of the Ukrainian people, no matter who was or is leading that country. And, in fact, most republicans in congress (house and senate) are also in support of helping the Ukrainians, with funding and armaments. So, are those republicans also on the side of Biden and Pelosi and Tlaib and Soros and those other anti-America fools?

Do you support secretly flying millions of military aged illegal immigrant men directly from locations in hot spots throughout the world to strategically selected areas through the USA and putting them up in posh motels with taxpayer funds?

Still more garbage from you.

You are a hoarder of garbage. Are you the resident garbage man in FR? You have to be to come up with so much trash.

I'm with Trump, and I want all those people who came here illegally to be rounded up and sent back to where they came from, and as soon as possible, and within Trump's first year in his second term. And in fact, I want all the DACA people sent back too. And I also want all those America haters to be deported too, including Soros and Tlaib and Omar and AOC and even those American-born haters.

So, stop dropping your garbage into FR.

And, you're wrong about Trump ending the war in Ukraine as soon as he takes office. Trump is playing to his base, but reality is that, he can't do anything to immediately stop the war. What he can do is to make it real expensive for Russia to continue its war effort, and to deny Russia any trade with the U.S. and/or Europe. We can take away the oil and gas funding that is helping Putin right now, but even that takes time fo put into effect. So, no, he can't stop the war quickly, no matter how much he talks about it and no matter how much you believe he can do it. Get real. This is not a movie; this is the real world.

Do you support letting men pretending to be women using the same bathrooms as little girls? Do you also support using lawfare with federal, state and local authorities to keep Donald Trump from taking back his rightful position as President of the United States?

You're not only full of garbage, but you're also full of that excrement that rhymes with sheet.

You can't win the argument by making your points, and so, you think you can win by throwing out all kinds of accusations which are nothing more than shit.

Get a brain and make sense, and make coherent and intelligent arguments. But, if you have to know where I'm coming from, I have made many arguments in the past in FR which can show you exactly where I stand on those issues. Look them up and you'll discover that I'm actually a lot more conservative than YOU, for certain, and no doubt a lot more conservative than most here on FR. So, stop your foolish junk or garbage arguments.

This situation is one of the largest swindles in history with the biggest victims being hapless Ukrainian men and boys who have been slaughtered by the millions not to defend their country but to provide a cash cow for corrupt politicians.

Are you sure your not Putin or a Putin plant?

Because...

That's exactly the kind of argument that Putin would make in order to try to stop American support of Ukraine.

I'm a conservative, through and through, but I see you as a Putinista. Your arguments can easily be interpreted as from someone who wants Putin and Russia to win in Ukraine. That would classify you as a traitor, if you're not a Putinista.

Do you need more garbage bins for your garbage collection? Putin would be very happy to help you, since you've been so helpful with HIS cause so far.

You can't know of any single instance regarding any one issue, but, people's minds can be changed, and it happens all the time.

Knowledge is power, and ignorance causes people to do foolish and stupid things.

If people's minds can't be changed, then, we might as well go about all our lives and forget talking to other people, and forget impacting their lives with knowledge about which they were ignorant. If what you say is true, the whole internet is a waste of time, and so is TV and radio and newspapers and magazines and word-of-mouth. A mind is terrible thing to waste, so, all brains need information in order to fulfill their hunger.

That's an unknowable.

Have you done a poll to see if minds have been changed? Also, how do you know about minds having been changed on other issues. Remember that, there are facts that people may not have heard of regarding a particular issue, and there are different opinions which can also change people's minds.
