“Sarah Palin was obviously better qualified to be president than McCain, Obama, OR Biden...” 100% true.
I learned by reading comments here at FR about the crimes of McCain. I had no idea. And yes, Ted Kennedy is not someone you wish to trade places with.
And apparently FR has a McCain fan club, too.
The RINO Establishment is still on board for constant foreign wars. Most America First patriots are not. The latter are by far the majority - as the RINOs are learning in this year’s primaries.
Michael Tracey is a commie lunatic. Logic doesn’t matter to his kind.
His idiocy receiving a warm welcome here is a testimony of how low the Free Republic has fallen.
America First cost many thousands of WWII lives after 1939.
...and didn't reflect well on Charles Lindbergh's legacy...
Until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the U.S. had no reason to become involved in World War II. Remember that Germany declared war on the U.S., not the reverse. We were supplying Britain and later the Soviet Union before the Japanese attack. We were under no treaty obligation to support either of those nations, or the countries Hitler overrun.
True, screw the warmongering neocons. "All the way up with a red hot poker". I could not care less about the Ukraine's border with Russia.
More Americans want Biden replaced than want Putin replaced.
Not everything is WWII and not every foreign leader you don’t like is Hitler.....though that is always the accusation.
Whatever personality conflict existed between McCain and Trump, the actual policy portfolio enacted by Trump vis-a-vis Russia wasn’t all that different from what McCain’s might’ve been. Indeed, when Trump announced the weapons transfers, McCain showered him with praise. And when Trump abrogated the INF Treaty, he was fulfilling another longtime McCain goal
Obama was awful!
Not only did he forbid the US to provide man-portable ATGM-s, he also fired General Breedlove for having put together a deal where Ukraine would trade their APC-s for Pakistan’s TOW-2 missiles.
“[Nazi Admiral] Donitz thought the U.S. military was ill-prepared and unequipped to fight the well-trained U-boat fleet. He was right.
On the evening of Jan. 11, 1942, Reinhardt Hardegen, the audacious captain of U-boat 123, jumped the gun...”
All we had against the U-boat fleet off the US’ East coast was the CAP, which cost even those civilian flyers 62 lives.
Then the US Government lied about the Nazi threat, even when burning tankers could be seen off the New Jersey coast!
Denial was strong when the threat was immense!
Not everything is WWII, but it rhymes.
One Congressman voted against war with Japan. Would that vote have had your support?
Arizona was stolen almost entirely because McCain Republicans hated Trump so much they were willing to lose to get rid of him.

Robert Kagan is senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, chair of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on the United States ...
While Roosevelt and his advisors were well aware of the Nazi and Japanese threats, the American people were largely antiwar, because of the results of World War I. The European empires fell, but were largely replaced by Communist or fascist governments. The "War to End All Wars" did not bring freedom east of the Rhine, but governments worse than the monarchies they replaced.
Japan actually attacked us. The US has no and I repeat NO vital national interest in Ukraine. It was insane for the Victoria Nuland’s and other Deep state warmongers to be messing around overthrowing government there. It should have been obvious to anybody with above a room temperature IQ that Russia would view it as their back yard and would be extremely sensitive about it - as all major powers are about their back yard. Leave it alone.
Getting involved in a war of choice against a nuclear armed state over something that is not vital to our national interest would be the height of reckless insanity.
“The US has no and I repeat NO vital national interest in Ukraine”.
Ukraine is very rich in resources that support Red China—but more importantly—also the new Soviet Russia. (That Putin regrets having lost as he helplessly watched).
Titanium is the structure of every Soviet submarine. Ukraine possesses about 70% of the world’s supply of Titanium. Add the many oil deposits that fuels the world’s demands and Putin’s wars.
Like Pearl Harbor, the US shouldn’t sleep through this.
“Boots on the ground” aren’t necessary: the thought only serves those who would encourage another invasion of Putin’s neighbors.
