“I think that Vladimir Putin would continue to march through Europe if he were allowed. I think he might go to the Balkans next. I think he might have a showdown with Poland, or one of our NATO allies.” If so, he added, we might find ourselves sending troops to defend allies from Putin later.

I would rather that happen and deal with it down the line but for now spend our money here and now in America. Biden and his ilk are for now and the foreseeable future much more of a threat to the United States than Putin is. And i find Putin more believable then I find our current government officials on just about any topic.

Let me amend that...not our yard, not our problem.

We have neither a democracy, as the Democrats love to say,
OR
a republic, as the Republicans like to say.

We have a CORRUPTOCRACY.

[Nextrush]

This is a Clinton-Obama-Biden war nothing more nothing less.

Any Republican supporting the Ukraine War tells me whose side they are ultimately on no matter how much they kiss up to Donald J. Trump or how much President Trump puts in a nice word for them.

Johnson is just another Deep State RINO who pretended to be a Conservative.
There are many Fake Conservatives in Congress.
He is just another one who exposed himself.

[patriotspride]

So true. snakes regardless of party with a few exceptions. Pubbies can’t unite as Dems do who stand behind anything that benefits them and hell with people and consequences

“I really do believe the intel and the briefings that we've gotten,” Johnson said, in a moment that became a mini-speech. “I think that Vladimir Putin would continue to march through Europe if he were allowed. I think he might go to the Balkans next. I think he might have a showdown with Poland, or one of our NATO allies.” If so, he added, we might find ourselves sending troops to defend allies from Putin later.

Johnson, you are an idiot and as gullible as they come.

Russia's had a part of Ukraine since 2014. A peace treaty could have ended it.

Why worry about Russia conquering the EU, now, when the EU doesn't think there is any problem? If they did, they would have massively built their militaries. They didn't.

Definitely been added to the pay out list from our tax money. How does a so-called strong Christian man go along with the bribes? It’s the only logical explanation for all the illogical decisions that the crooks running our country make for the rest of us. $$$$$

Some Republicans are emboldened by Johnson attacking conservatives.

I just heard Newt Gingrich on the radio and he said there is no limit to the spending on Ukraine. “Whatever it takes,” when asked about how much we can afford to put into Ukraine. He said there should be no limits.

You see some finally willing to admit public money is meaningless, and endless to them.

I can tell you Hannity and Fox are 100% behind Johnson’s new Uniparty rule.

[kiryandil]

Yep, The Spew Republic is a mouthpiece for the Left in this country.

When they're touting the Tater's Ukraine Project, you know something smells.

How ludicrous is this.......?

Zelensky keeps telling us they’re on the verge of winning if only we’d give ‘em several more billions.

Zelensky brags they’re really doing a job on bad ol’ Putin..... impoverishing him, while “shooting down every Russian thing in sight”..........

---

But wait.......now “they say” without our billions poor decrepit Russia w/ its badly depleted military is gonna march in and takeover Europe, the Balkans, Poland....even all of NATO.

Which is it fellas?

[taxcontrol]

I am of the opinion that many on both sides, do not understand what is at stake in Ukraine. It is a war between central banking systems. Russia is a member of BRICs and does not want us the US Federal Reserve system.

Ukraine is merely the focal point.

[dfwgator]

The Call said it best:

I don’t think there are any Russians
And there ain’t no Yanks

Just corporate criminals
Playing with tanks

[HYPOCRACY]

“I really do believe the intel and the briefings that we’ve gotten,” Johnson said

This tool is a like a 16 year old girl running around bragging she has a secret.

[Pete Dovgan]

They seem to not be able to muster the necessary soldiers.

[HYPOCRACY]

I don’t want the Federal Reserve either. I must be a Putin supporter.

[mrmeyer]

Number one and two can get bent because number three is the only one that matters.

[SaveFerris]

One more time;

America is being invaded and stopping it is not a priority for the Uniparty.

They’re helping to make it happen.

American? Out of work?

Starving? Going bankrupt?

They don’t care.

See ya at the bill signing.

[joethedrummer]

Putin has been at war with Ukraine for a couple of YEARS now.. and can’t seem to win..

What makes anyone believe that he would or could “march thru Europ”???

There no freaking way. He wanted NATO off his back and the usual old “..used to be OURS..” - territory dispute.. that’s all.

We need to quit playing “re-live World War II” games.

We are NOT saving the world from Hitler..

The only interests the USA has in the Ukraine are: Politicians’ personal financial interests there. THATS it.. and THAT is why they are so strong about our “support” there.
