The reason for this new subscriber is that Bill O'Reilly asked us (one of his loyal members) to visit your website. The reason I signed up for membership is because of you and your honest reporting and I enjoy lively debate and various opinions.

"...approximately 90% of all U.S. taxpayer money allocated for Ukraine has stayed right here, in our own country, to build and replace weaponry."

I wonder if this is a major reason why Trump opposes Ukraine aid and why his toadies so willingly follow him on this issue. Typically, I'm loathe to question someone's motivations in such a cynical manner. But, thanks to Trump, his bootlickers in Congress unmistakably have demonstrated that they value holding their political office over the welfare of the country.

I don't know why this factoid (to use an O'Reillyism) isn't hammered by the proponents of Ukraine aid. In fact, as far as I can tell, the only time it's mentioned is as an after-thought.

It's still unclear to me precisely what needs to happen in order for warmongering Putin to give up on his dreams.

Sorry, but for me personally, I'm more interested in that type of substantive, legitimate debate than whatever faux-nonsense clowns like Kari Lake or MTG cite.

// Russia’s failure to achieve its goals

So what exactly does Ukraine "winning" look like? Please play out a plausible scenario.

I'm currently reading Liz Cheney's book on the 2020 Election, J6 and the aftermatch. Mike Johnson was a one of the key players in aiding Trump's effort to overturn the election. He recently went to Mar a Largo to kiss Trump's ring, so one would assume that his efforts to fund aid to Ukraine are being done with Trump's blessing. So, the question is, if Trump is OK with aiding Ukraine, why are his bootlickers such as MTG making such a fuss? Did they not get the memo, or are they like the Joker in The Dark Knight, and just want to watch the world burn?
