“Mike Johnson flatly told reporters on Wednesday that enabling Ukraine to defend itself is in the best interests of America and the world.”

Translates too:

Mike Johnson flatly told reporters on Wednesday that enabling Ukraine to defend itself is in the best interests of “American defense contractors and the new world order”.

“Any support of Ukraine is investing in the greatest Corruption of everything on this planet that has ever existed.

America no longer exports Freedom and Democracy (so-called), all we export now is one and only one thing:

CORRUPTION”

Best statement I have heard in years and years now. Thank you.

“It is time for Biden and/or Zelensky to call for an armistice followed by plebiscites.”

No war profits in that kind of common sense.

Zelensky wanted to come to the peace table. Biden said no.

Don't forget to add that State was exporting the Reprobate agendas too

The logical outcome of blindly following a false prophet preaching a 'post-Christian' America

I thought Christians were supposed to stand on moral principles and virtues even if it causes them persecution and sacrifice?

This man is not a Christian. He has sold his soul for status, greed, and profit.

for now spend our money here and now in America

It's not surprising that TNR wants to straw-man the objections to the endless flow of money into the most corrupt state in Europe with the false dichotomy that a)if you're against pouring a river of US taxpayer money into Zelensky's (and the Biden regime's) pockets that b) you're Putin's stooge!

That's ridiculous, but it's the their story and they're sticking to it.

The fact is, we have urgent, even existential problems right here at home that are going unaddressed, and the very same people who claim that we don't have the funds to secure our borders against an invasion force of millions, are demanding an unending, limitless flow of funds to a foreign power in a war that cannot be won and should never have been fought.

Trump, once again, has it right, though this writer seeks to caricature and mis-state his views, which he made clear less than 24 hours ago. This is the distinction that this writer and the foreign-policy blob in Washington are desperate to obscure is this: Trump isn't pro-Putin, he's pro-America, and wants to put America's interests first.

The other item that the Democrat machine and the legacy media (but I repeat myself) are working so hard to distract from is that the Biden regime owns this mess. It isn't a problem of Johnson's making, nor of Trump's. This all happened on Biden's watch, and the entire apparatus of the uniparty are all spinning furiously to try to muddy up their domestic opposition. It's kinda sorta working on some of the weaker-minded, as we can see here on FR.

Here's the winning message: secure our border first, use our allies and diplomatic power to stifle any irredentist tendencies that Putin or anyone else might have, and return to the peace and prosperity that we enjoyed during Trump's first term.

I was banned for not worshiping this false prophet (elsewhere).

Including the main guy who foolishly exclaimed: “I think he’s a Christian!”

😳😱🤯🙄🙄🙄😱🤯😳

I constantly told people there to reject the cult of personality.

This song was prophetic - sadly I hear that the band didn’t heed their own advice.

There are actually several points made in the lyrics; which fell on deaf ears.

https://youtu.be/7xxgRUyzgs0?si=1cGufUFeE-9P1U1L

Even mentioned “Nobel Prize” which was given to Obama with NO accomplishment.

“I tell you 1+1 makes 3”

Again, spot-on.

You’re welcome.

There’s been an avalanche of stupidity especially since then.

And now it’s bearing the easily-predictable expected rotten fruit.

Yeah -and all you Nazi supporters would be the first to demand Biden invade Mexico if China decided to annex it which is exactly what Obama and Biden did with their coup.

If Putin is sooo evil about Ukraine why didn’t he take it when Trump was in office? Because Trump would stop him? Or is it because Trump said NATO was corrupt, needed to pay their fare share and no expansionist policies.

What changed when Xiden - your glorious leader got into office?

Wake up fools - you’re the same ones happy to lock down because of the scary flu!

And the most damning lyric from the song:

“You gave me power in your God’s name!”

Scary, how accurately that foretold the future.

If Putin is AS evil as our corrupt (and DIE infested) intelligence agencies claim then we should be sending troops NOW and sent them at the start of the war to shut this thing down fast.

That’s what a real military person would say to do. Not drain US resources and destroy our economy by mega funding another nation that’s had ZERO progress in repelling Putin and literally destroyed not only their country but their very own government and way of life into a one party totalitarian state.

This is not to stop Putin - this is part and parcel of creating a globalist communist state.

Sure Putin invaded but not without provocation, the Minsk agreement pretty much got ignored. Are you familiar with it? If I was Putin and negotiated and signed that agreement and the US and Europe and Ukraine all refused to enforce what was agreed to I would have done the same thing he did.

Sure is, and with the full support of the gullible masses. That is the problem. Far too many blinded by unquestioned loyalty and misguided ideology. They just cannot see the forest for the trees. So they beg for their own demise and take everyone else down with them at the same time.
