Conservative- a person who values established institutions like the nuclear family, property rights, the rule of law, less government and free market economics.
It is disappointing that the leader of the free world is siding with the tyrant against the oppressed, and those who remember the oppression of Europe are standing with the victims of that oppression.
Instead of raising taxes and fees, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe they could cut some waste. You know, budget honestly with our money like we've all had to do over the past several years as costs rise and salaries don't. Just saying...
November 22, 1994: US President Bill Clinton thanks Ukraine for giving up its nuclear weapons. In return, the USA will stand by Ukraine's side to preserve its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the future. Ukraine and the USA share a vision of freedom.
Ukrainians aren't fighting for Zelensky.
Ukrainians are fighting to protect their families. Ukrainians are fighting for the right to self determination. Ukrainians are fighting for the right to vote. Ukrainians are fighting to keep the boot of Vladimir Putin off their necks.
I long ago came to terms with the fact that Donald Trump’s worldview is entirely transactional and amoral. What still beggars belief is the failure of America’s institutional checks and balances to prevent him from committing serial acts of national self-harm. Deeply depressing
Every family has to balance a checkbook. Washington should too. The deficit has passed $40 trillion, and both parties keep adding to it.
My Six Penny Plan balances the budget in five years by cutting six cents from every dollar the federal government spends.
Do facts even matter anymore? Case in point. Trump declares a ceasefire on energy between Ukraine & Russia. Both Putin and Zelensky say they didn’t know about it. Zelensky welcomes it. Putin launches attack against Ukraine energy.
Open up X and Zelensky is getting raked while Putin is left alone…
I get people are emotional and I’m not ever arguing Zelensky is good, but man, if we don’t let facts guide us, what is left…?
Trump's abandonment of a democratic Ukraine and embrace of autocratic Russia during wartime will be recorded in future history books as one of the greatest, tragic mistakes in American foreign policy in our nation's history.
If you want to see what is the opposite of Peace Through Strength here it is.
Reagan correctly called the USSR an evil empire. Trump won’t stop defending a KGB trained tyrant because it makes him money, despite Russia propping up Iran!
Never forget: in America's time of need after 9/11, Ukraine deployed more than 5,000 troops who served throughout the war on terror.
It is shameful to treat our friends as this administration does.
Trump supports the Dictator Putin and opposes Ukraine who wants our freedom and Independence. Ukraine loves America freedoms. Putin hates it. Why does Trump love Putin?
America spent the better part of the last century establishing a world where hostile nations can't simply conquer their neighbors. We have benefited enormously from the stability that followed. Stable trade and economies mean your children can prosper.
Putin's invasion threatens that stability - and anyone who thinks the consequences will be confined to Ukraine needs a history lesson.
Counter-factuals are helpful. Say we let Russia conquer Ukraine? Now you have Russia on the border of four more NATO countries and years more of tensions and financial investments. Keep the border at Ukraine? A message gets sent and NATO ushers in decades of peace.
This is a very easy strategic calculation.
Meloni: I do not miss the Russian tanks in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, Russia would occupy a European nation and Soviet-style imperialism would return.
Surrender is not peace. It is conquest. 1/
