Conservatives suddenly rediscover the notion that invading another country is bad.
Funny how that happens now and not a few years ago?
Not bad when you were invaded first, bub.
Not really interested in analysis on Russia from a kid who never experienced the Cold War. This chick is fully in on Putin’s bullshit. She was probably way into Ron Paul (the original Putin puppet) a few years back and the whole John Gault goofiness. MAGA attracts confused kids. Just look at the one that tried to kill Trump?
As with Tucker, Vance, and Trump, never underestimate the ability of this site to spread Russian propaganda. There is a reason Tucker, Vance, and Trump are popular in Russia. Putin is telling Russia’s Oligarchs to hold on, and when Trump is President he will give them Ukraine. He will then pull us out of any meaningful participation in NATO so that Putin can resume his goal of rebuilding the glorious Russian Empire.
I suspect, as with Egypt, there is a way Trump is being bribed to facilitate this. Still no answer from the orange one on what happened to the 10 million he got from Egypt.
Speaking of Trump, and it always comes back to him here. I am curious how Prioleau and the Colonel feel about Trump’s latest insult to the military. Saying the Medal of Freedom he gave to a lady who gave him a lot of money was better than a Medal of Honor because soldiers who received the Medal of Honor were usually dead or full of bullets.
Are there any more insults this guy could give to the people who have died for this nation or were wounded in the defense of this nation? Do you need any more proof that Trump has not changed from his belief that people who die for their country are losers and suckers? Do you need any more proof that Trump does not value military service?
I stand by my assessment that anyone who supports Trump is pissing on the graves of those who died in the defense of our already great country.
Honestly there’s no reason to keep asking conservatives why Trump hates the military, either they have to brainwash themselves into believing he doesn’t or cover their face in shame because they can’t pretend, but they certainly won’t bash the guy for his horrible sayings in regards to people who have fought and died for our freedoms.
Just for the record, the Colonel, is not now, nor has he ever been, a Trump voter. I do agree with his views in a number of areas but have never voted for him. However, the only thing I support that “Joe Lyin Biden” has ever done is deciding to sit out the last election and bowing out of the next one. Kamala Harris will be an unmitigated disaster of the likes we may not recover from should she some how get elected. Trump won’t be any prize but I’ll take him over her. I am a conservative generally, both personally and politically but I’ve supported Carter and Spratt. Neither party currently has a candidate that I will support in November.
As for the comment, he said that the Medal of Freedom is better because Medal of Honor recipients are “either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.” Taken in context, he has a point. Of the 24 awards Trump gave out, almost all of them were athletes of one kind or another. With the exception of Laffer and Limbaugh, none of his choices would be very controversial across the political spectrum. Biden’s given out 38 already and with the exception of BG Vaught, Katie Ledecky, the greatest female swimmer of all time, and Simon Biles, the greatest female gymnast of all time, all of his awardees have had political “accomplishments” that many would debate (Nancy Pelosi?!? Enos Clyburn?!? Kerry?!?)
Of the 3,465 Medal of Honor recipients, 20% (618) were awarded posthumously. Many of those who received them alive were grievously injured. I know Kyle Carpenter and have had Bruce Crandall guest lecture for me. In the course of my career, I have met many others – to the man, they will tell you that the cost was high and as big an honor as they consider the Medal, they’d gladly give it back to avoid the events that led to it. I doubt Bob Hope (PMF recipient under LBJ), BB King (Bush 2) or Ted Williams (Bush 1)have the same opinion.
When I see the National Colors at Half Staff or draped over a coffin, I am wounded a little every time. I still take all this stuff very seriously.
Just for the record, it is disappointing to hear that you believe Medal of Honor recipients regret their service to the nation. We would be in a sad state today if they had not, given their all. I hope you are wrong or that your impressions are limited to those with whom you have spoken, as it sounds to me as though you and possibly they agree with Trump that they were losers and suckers.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom awards are almost always political at some level, none more so than Miriam Adelson whose only accomplishment is her husband gave a bunch of money to Trump, and she is giving a bunch of money to Trump. That is why the Medal of Freedom is nothing like the Medal of Honor and no one other than Trump has ever said so. I find Trump’s statement extremely offensive and stand by my assessment that supporting Trump is pissing on the graves of those who died in the defense of this nation.
And no I don’t think Harris will be a disaster for the nation, certainly Biden has been a good President. Trump will be the ultimate disaster. Trump has no respect for the Constitution, no respect for the laws of this nation; wants to use the military to attack civilians, loves dictators, and wants to be one. Further, we risk him being in power with a House and Senate subservient to him and who have pledged loyalty to him and not to our nation. The Republicans under Trump will lead this nation down a very dark path of hate, anger, and authoritarianism from which we may never recover.
“There is little doubt that 2017 would have been the year of offense had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 presidential election, but the Trump presidency ultimately delayed Putin’s inevitable invasion.”
Oh, Opie…so naive.
The only thing I’d ask this kid about 2016 might be the finer points of fidget spinners.
Geopolitics and history? LMFAO
We’re supposed to take military strategery and predictions seriously from Beaujolais because he served in the Marine Corps and now writes lunatic screeds on Fits along with this long-haired weirdo? Bunch of quacks. And, LOG sucks.
