This is not surprising. And it’s worth noting that UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Netherlands also have military advisers and other personnel in country as well.

Never should have taken this long, but the Putin wing of the Republican party can be difficult to overcome. The way they parrot Putin’s propaganda is traitorous imo.

Thank God Ukraine aid has passed!!

Israel and Iran going to war is bad. Very bad.

Everything is a conspiracy theory these days. It's boring and shows how uneducated and gullible ppl are.

The danger is becoming deaf to the point of ignoring it completely. We are reliving the 1930s but there are more outlets for the mass dissemination of their lies and propaganda. It is a clear and present danger to our democracy and it is our duty to stay vigilant.

Well, those 6 immigrants working on bridge paving wouldn’t have died if we didn’t let them in. or something like that. It’s dangerous in a way, but I have become more or leas deaf to what the MAGA crowd has to say these days. The crazy can only be absorbed for so long.

I can only wonder how many actually believe this shameless crap because the fascist movement currently underway in this country is dependent on on the mass dissemination of lies they propagate. https://www.thedailybeast.com/newsmax-and-fox-news-pundits-blame-bridge-collapse-on-open-border-and-covid-lockdowns

Every time I see this thread title, I think of Britney Spears singing whoops I did it again.

I didn't share this tweet in the main forum, but I thought about it:

I cannot imagine Iran really believed that a proxy war using Houthi’s would be successful in any way. I wonder their endgame?

U.S. sinks Houthi boats. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/us-navy-sinks-3-houthi-boats-attacking-merchant/story?id=106016731

Tuberville is an abject moron and ignoramus. Who can forget his masterful grasp of our system of government when he declared the three branches were the House, the Senate, and the Executive. And while it’s concerning that unqualified idiots like him, MTG, Boebert and others get elected to office, they are only a symptom of the electorate that puts them there. And that is downright scary.

Trump tapped into a certain type of charismatic populism that drew in people who were looking for something different, Vivek seems like he is trying to ride that same wave, but Trump has such a grip on his base that Vivek isn’t going to gain a foothold. At least not anytime soon.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps suffered an apparent heart attack a couple days ago. Without an Assistant Commandant appointed, the duties fall to three star.

The A-10, a gun with a plane attached.

Finally the GOP is calling out Tubberville. It's about time, this blanket hold nonsense is shameful and plays into our enemies hands. Pentagon has finally had it too.

He's a con man like trump.

Iran keeps poking the bear with their piddly proxy “militias” in the region. So far, I like our measured responses like taking out munition depots in Syria and meeting their charged, heated rhetoric with calm and simple statements about not wanting the conflict to escalate and reserving our right to protect our troops and interests in the region all while inserting additional troops and military assets into the theater illustrating our full intention to do so. People like Ramasmarmy need to understand that it’s our NATO allies as well as those in the Pacific that enable us to deploy such assets in order to meet potential threats.

Would have to go look on telegram for this, but when one pops up again I will share it here. The estimates from the USA are usually lower than Great-Britain or Ukraine.

Any news links on this?

Before he stepped down from managing his hedge fund in 2017, Robert Mercer was the largest contributor to the GOP and the biggest investors in that fund were Russian oligarchs, also known as Putin’s lackeys. Huge investments in the state of Kentucky by Russian oligarchs still sit on Moscow Mitch’s desk as he decides which candidates to dole it out to. Properties flipped to Russian oligarchs for tens of millions of dollars more than their purchase prices. It goes on and on. The anti NATO, anti democracy rhetoric was bought and paid for by Putin and he’s getting his money’s worth. Opportunist or not, Ravasmarmy is toeing the Russian line. And it’s dangerous.
