Stop Talking About Ukraine, Republicans!

[excalibur]

Republicans really need to do this.

​

Amid the media’s 24/7 UKRAINE UPDATES, perhaps some enterprising journalist could write an article explaining how our esteem for that country’s borders benefits a single American — other than President Joe Biden.​

​

Our own border has become a transmission belt for the third world, bringing in rapists, murderers, future welfare recipients and left-wing activists. The Democratic Party’s brilliant policy of defunding the police and emptying the prisons has, oddly enough, led to a breathtaking surge in violent crime. Our schools have been taken over by lunatics who teach white kids that they are evil — and probably transsexual. Inflation has hit a 40-year high.​

​

U.S. media: Whither Ukraine?​

​

Midterms must be coming!​

​

In 2020, Democratic data scientist David Shor advised his party: “Talk about the issues [voters] are with us on, and try really hard not to talk about the issues where we disagree. Which, in practice, means not talking about immigration.” (Emphasis mine.) After the election, he said that the main way the media’s COVID hysteria hurt Donald Trump was by preventing anyone from “talking about Hunter Biden or immigration.”​

​

...​

​

What Republicans should be doing: talking about the issues Democrats are trying to avoid.​

​

What Republicans are doing: talking about Ukraine.​

​

Whenever you see any media talking about Ukraine, your Pavlovian response should be, Oh, I see. They don’t want me to think about immigration or crime.​

​

...​

​

Nope! Can’t shut down this utterly anachronistic organization, requiring America to defend the likes of Latvia, should some other pipsqueak nation violate its precious borders. (Why isn’t Latvia down in Texas right now, defending our borders?)​

​

Far from unwinding NATO, our country’s leaders are constantly trying to expand it, thus increasing the odds that Americans will be forced to go to war over some other country’s sacred sovereignty. Pointless wars are the lifeblood of defense contractors! We pay the price and defense contractors get the money.​

​

...​

​

This year, the worshipful reverence for Ukraine’s borders has the added bonus of blocking Americans from thinking about immigration and crime. Republicans ought to be talking their heads off about the unprecedented crisis at our border, Afghan “refugees” raping little kids in our country, illegal aliens hauling meth and fentanyl into our country, rampant shoplifting, carjacking and assaults destroying neighborhoods in our country.​

​

Luckily, the GOP is too smart to fall for the media’s latest subject-changer.​

​

Oh, wait —​

​

@newtgingrich: “The Biden Administration talks and Putin acts. This is such a clear replay of Chamberlain trying to deal with Hitler that it is more than a little frightening. Putin is pushing day by day and has no fear of NATO because he has no fear of the United States or its President.”​

You're right OP, the Republicans aren't doing themselves any favors w/their anti-American pro-Russia rhetoric many of their leaders have been echoing in the media of late.

We agree there.

Did you ever think maybe the issue is being exploited for the very purpose of pitting people between two damning polarized viewpoints carefully constructed by the media?

See how you said "pro-Russian" and "anti-American" in the same sentence like one has to imply the other and there is no middle ground or more complicated strings to the situation?

Soooo manipulative.

He's a useful tool.

 

[Synthaholic]

Yeah, they suck at it.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

If these republicans had been around in the lsst war they would have created a narrative that would have exonerated the Japs.
This the age old fight between good and nazi. Its clear which side the GOP is on.

America firsters and Isolationists aren't pro-Russia, they are anti-getting involved at all.

They are wrong, but they aren't pro Russia.

 

[Resnic]

The flip side is if we don't talk about it then democrats come out with "Republicans don't care about a poor sovereign nation undersiege by a communist country because they support Russia and Putin because they helped trump cheat in the elections!" Or some such other nonsense.

And the msm will run wild with it because they are the unofficial public relations of the democrat party.

What horses—t!

Pearl Harbor was a direct attack on the US. Hitler came close to taking over the world.

Putin is attacking a non-NATO country because he is unhappy with the current borders. Russia’s GDP is about the same as Australia’s. Russia is only a regional power trying to maintain a shrunken sphere of influence. The powerful, genocidal CCP is our primary adversary.

So your WW II comparison is ridiculous.

Would you like to see Russia on China’s side for WW III?

Nonsense. As always, you leftards have been, are being and will sadly remain the anti-Americans that you are. You fool nobody when you now suddenly claim to be pro-American.

Newsflash for you utter frauds:

Being opposed to the Alzheimers Patient in Chief is absolutely consistent with being pro-American.

How do we end this war?

Carrot - A diplomatic solution: Both the US and Russia can accept a neutral independent Ukraine. Both sides can haggle over the Donbass border.

Stick - The US needs to produce more energy. Lower energy prices will hurt Putin. Our allies in Europe need to be less dependent on Putin.

The carrot was what existed before Putin decided to louse things up. Why would he want to go back?

The stick will take far too long to impact Ukraine. The war will be over in a matter of weeks, no matter who "wins"!

The Russians acted because 1) They considered Ukraine too close to membership in NATO and 2) They were emboldened by Biden’s energy policies.

I hope you are right and the war is over in a matter of weeks.

#1 is bullshit.

#2 is likely dead on target.
