America First means helping Ukraine. It never meant America Alone
Fox News ^ | 4/18/2024 | Michael R. Pompeo

Posted on 04/18/2024 9:45:30 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Trump defended America First by keeping Putin's Russia from invading Ukraine.

During the Biden administration’s tenure, multiple conflagrations have pushed the world to its most unstable point since the end of the Cold War.

-snip-

Unfortunately, in response, Washington seems to have produced two equally terrible strategies: One, blindly follow President Joe Biden’s policies that have allowed this chaos to reign, or two, give in to the forces of evil seeking to destroy our republic and retreat within our borders, shutting our eyes to the dangerous world around us.

Both are wrong. There is a better solution, one that brought us peace and prosperity for four years under President Donald Trump: America First.

First, let’s be clear: America First does not mean letting Russia, China, and terrorists do whatever they want. America First means you take concrete and necessary steps – like we did successfully in the Trump administration – to secure the freedom and prosperity of every American. The success we had during our four years wasn’t an accident – it took real work and a backbone.

Today, we are confronted with a China-Russia-Iran-North Korea axis which seeks to undermine America. In Europe, under America First policies, we kept Putin from invading Ukraine while providing the Ukrainians with weapons to fight their own battles.

Under Biden’s failed policies, Russia went back on the march, crushing personal, political, and religious freedom in Ukraine at every turn.

Yet without a single U.S. or NATO soldier firing a shot, Ukraine has caused Russia to suffer losses of manpower and equipment that it has not experienced since World War II.

I do not consider hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians and Russians in a dispute over which despot is in charge to be a victory for the US or subjects of Ukraine or Russia.

BS. This is a sell-out of America first. Aid to Ukraine and once again nothing for our border. Trump, Johnson, and the Republicans in the House have folded. It is a clear victory for Biden. He just beat Trump and MAGA Republicans.

Yet another thing DC Marxists are purposely screwing us on, for their ideology, their own enrichment, and mainly, their power-through-social-engineering. Thank God America has natural gas, and people/states allowing it to come to market, or we would be worse than Europe

Nothing says “America First” like sending another $100 billion to Ukraine, while the border remains wide open.

Iraq x 2 and Afghanistan are enough.

Never again.

Caca . Washington’s Farewell Adress specifically cautions against America getting entangled in EuroFiefdoms Squabbles. .

Pompeo the War Pig is a Deep State SwampRat

SwampRats do whatever they can to subvert the Founding Fathers and instead conduct illicit plans to promote Foreign Intrests over America’s.

Pompeo Is filthy scum.

Here is an excerpt of the particulars. The full address is available here

George Washington's Farewell Address (1796)

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government. the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

! Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?

It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.

Mike Pompeo is the personification of a “Deep State” MIL operative.

America First means helping Ukraine.

America First means America First. Those are the actual words. Secure OUR borders first. After that's done, if we have tons of budget surplus cash to spare, then worry about helping other nations.

Every three months our national debt increases by $1 Trillion dollars.

We are borrowing money that our great, great grandchildren will be forced to pay back, if it doesn’t destroy us as a country before then.

We shouldn’t be sending a penny to Ukraine, except for donations collected by private citizens, and certainly not any taxpayer money.
