putting the nation first or submission to Trump. Gabbard is approved, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will have an ideological sympathizer holding the keys to the U.S. intelligence community crown jewels. This is not an exaggeration.
The fact that Trump nominated Gabbard makes it clear that he is putting his distrust of the intelligence community before the critical interests of national security.
Gabbard has served in uniform and deserves respect for doing so. Still, her views toward all of the United States's key adversaries make her plainly unsuited for this role. Put simply, Gabbard openly blames the U.S. rather than its adversaries for the threats they pose to U.S. national security.
On China, in a statement happily regurgitated by Chinese state media, Gabbard previously called on Trump to end the "destructive trade war with China." The former congresswoman also pushed the narrative offered by China sympathizers, such as Ray Dalio, that China should be treated as a partner rather than as an exigent national security threat.
On Russia, Gabbard opposed Trump's removal from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty in response to rampant Russian breaches of that treaty. She has blamed NATO and the U.S. for Russia's invasion of Ukraine (again, to the celebration of both Russian and Chinese state media), has repeated Russian propaganda claims that the U.S. has set up secret bioweapons labs in that country, and has argued that the U.S. not Russia is wholly responsible for Putin's nuclear brinkmanship.
On Syria, Gabbard has gone far beyond Trump's skepticism for continued U.S. military presence in the country. Regurgitating propaganda from Syrian President Bashar al Assad's regime, she has blamed Trump for Syria's challenges and expressed sympathy for Assad's leadership.

NOTE—
Tulsi is fine with me. But it seems that this right wing news site has it in for her. Please see the source site for the full opinion essay.
Anyone think Tulsi Gabbard is a far, FAR better choice to head up Homeland Security than the pus-infected scab of a human stain Mayorkas?

I know. It is an insult to even make that comparison.
And with Thune at the helm, I'm sure the senate will do just that. In fact, I'll be shocked if even half of Trump's nominees will make it through confirmation.
RINO Ukraine doofuses at this source. Always have been.
meh, tired of the “everyone is a Putin puppet” crap
CAUTION: What you are about to read is 100% BS written by people who hate you and tried to murder your candidate.
Supported Bernie in ‘16. I’d be wary. It’s like nominating Hegseth. They’re both hot and serious at the same time. Will they come through and be successful executives? No evidence in their past. Trump may be counting on the leftover bureaucrats to do the day to day stuff.
Going to FULL SQUIRM MODE ARE WE ???
Just exactly what does everyone have that’s been covered up and not want to be released from the sealed archives ???
> On China, in a statement happily regurgitated by Chinese state media… <
Regurgitated? Really? An author who uses a word like that clearly has an agenda. So I’ll have to classify this article as a soft propaganda piece.
Yeah, not buying it. Not even a little.
Bernie is a legit liberal as is RFK and Gabbard. This falls in line with Trump as he is a Populist. Trump wants what is best for the country, not necessarily what is best for the Republicans.
“Trump may be counting on the leftover bureaucrats to do the day to day stuff.”
If PDJT wants to have a successful term, there had better be ZERO “leftover bureaucrats” by 2/1/25. They’re the major stirrer-uppers running things behind the curtain, feeling secure in the belief that their jobs are secure forever. No; they must go.
This is lawsuit-worthy.
“meh, tired of the “everyone is a Putin puppet” crap”
I hear yah. If you are not for the Uke war, then you are a Ruskie sympathizer.
The jerks never consider putting America first as a reason for disliking the Ukraine war. It’s Europe’s war, not ours.
It’s the intel community that has propped up the supposed strength of Putin in order for the IC to continue to play their spook games and skim OUR TAX MONEY for their personal gain (Both US and Russian spies).
I’ve noted a number of times here that the Deep States HATES HER GUTS, and as far as I can tell that started when she went to Syria while in Congress and met with Basher, very likely because the top secret briefings conflicted with what she was hearing from other sources.
She is now wise to our Deep State and that scares the crap out of the Deep State and they will do all in their power to stop her, as we see here.
As DNI, Tulsi Gabbard will have to follow President Trump’s policies and the facts instead of prior opinions she may have expressed. What this hit piece argues is that Tulsi Gabbard is unqualified because she was previously guilty of wrong think. Why not first let her go through the confirmation process and address any issues that develop?
No question.......toss ‘em out.
Even the RINOs don’t want what’s best for the Republican party never mind the people that vote Republican
A lot of damning comments on Gabbard. Some of which I can’t refute because I lack knowledge.
What I do know is I’ve seen Tulsi talk extensively of the threat of nuclear war which she rightly sees as paramount importance in preventing. As a military officer she well knows the horrors of war and invasion.
Something those ass-clowns Biden, Harris, Mayorkas etc likely don’t.
