Reckless Neocons Want Escalation With Russia In Order To
Regain Control Of The GOP
Neocons Want A War With Russia To Regain Control Of The GOP
When you heard neocons calling for no-fly zones in Ukraine, know that part of their motivation is to regain relevance in their own party.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought Republican neocons out of the woodwork, agitating for escalation and U.S. military involvement. The same people who brought us the Iraq War and a 20-year occupation of Afghanistan that ended last year in an ignominious and chaotic U.S. withdrawal would now like us to go to war with Russia, a nuclear power, over Ukraine.
Why? Partly because they’re reacting emotionally to the war, which is understandable up to a point. But mostly they would like to leverage a military conflict with Russia to regain control of the Republican Party, whose voters have become deeply disillusioned with foreign interventions — and with the neocons who peddled them to the American people.
~Snip~
But now the neocons are back, if only for a moment, and they’d like you to consider the idea that we shoot down some Russian warplanes, or annex Ukraine into NATO, or do any number of other reckless and provocative things to get us into a war with Russia. Also, they would like to be the ones to lead this effort.
Understand that these aren’t just stupid ideas from small-minded people, it’s part of a larger, desperate bid for relevance, a last-ditch attempt to regain influence in the GOP — influence that these people long ago squandered, and should never get back.
Commentary:
Meanwhile we have Neocons like weepy Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney and Ralp Portman calling for "No Fly Zone", or bringing the Ukraine under the NATO umbrella.
Yet, more to the point, the problem is the "Deep State Cabal" that controls the "Uni-Party", full of ‘Rats and ‘Pubs' (aka, neocons).
No doubt Mitt Romney Mitt will definitely be running in 2024. And I suspect the big Neocon money is already lining up.
