Anyone who is cheering on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and anyone who wants Putin to survive and thrive after what he has done to Ukrainians and Russians.

I remember well.

I remember more recently how the press that covered up Methhead Hunter Biden’s laptop is the same press that is reporting on Russian atrocities.

Americans going to Ukraine are not fighting for the Ukrainian citizens they are fighting to keep the Biden Crime Family’s gravy train on track.

History bears out the disaster that was the Iraqi war as prosecuted by Bush/Cheney/PNAC.

Well, whatever there was of an Afghan army, they didn’t have much motivation from the gitgo. Nor did it have a long history of democracy and freedom as a guide to the future.

We can’t Amercanize other cultures, especially ones with long histories and shouldn’t try. Just encourage and help where you can to make their load a little easier.

In some cases you have to realize that what exists is the best it might ever get.

In Russia there is no real history of democracy and the people have always been ruled over in some form or another.

With that in mind, Putin may be the best it gets for Russians, at least for the time being.

Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn,
The next stop is Ukraine-land,

And its 5, 6,7 open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE we’re all gonna die

Problem is, several in the Bush administration weren’t arguing that Saddam had 500 tons of that stuff, they were arguing he had a substantial nuke program when he didn’t have one.

But what about all of the FReepers who want many Americans to die for Bidet’s 10%?

And just think of the poor Clintons!

And yet it is indeed a curiosity - albeit, an outrage - how many FReepers would insist that we do just that.

What a brave little fella. Doesn’t want to endure the personal trauma involved in discussing war in relative comfort and safety.

‘Gullible’, indeed, but it’s also why I wear a backplate.

Iraq was all about our western imperialism using the US$ based international banking regime to suck the life out of the world. We saw what little personal freedom counts in our world when the banking system cancelled peaceful protesters and froze their access to funds.

<because they’ve “seen the light” on disastrous democrat economic and foreign policy issues

Unlike RINOs who don't need foreign policy issues because their bar tabs are paid by the NWO.

Great point. I feel the same way after supporting Iraq.

Gutfield provides zero context for this statement. So no one other than Gutfield knows what he meant by this tweet other than that he might have had some personal epiphany related to war. The statement could easily be interpreted to mean that he told (advised ?) an individual he knows (or knew) to go to war overseas and regrets having done so. Or it could just be one of those “hey, look at me” moments media personalities love to indulge in from time to time.
