Just because something is public does not mean it is acceptable. Donald Trump operates on this theory. If something makes it into the public limelight then it is an acceptable topic of discussion. I believe this is because of a lack of instant outrage. The topic I want to apply this to is the traitors, yes I will call them what they are, making public statements in support of the biggest threat to world peace in a lifetime, Putin.
Putin is a old school KGB counterintelligence agent, and a war criminal. We are outraged if a US strike hits civilians collaterally. An error that is closely investigated and rightly condemned, however Putin’s war is directly targeting civilians and we still have positive public comments from public figures. Oh I’m sorry it is not a war it is a “special military operation”. Here is a link which shows how deep the KGB style penetration of our country has gone. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texan-face-of-rt-america/?utm_source=pocket-newtab…Just watch the first 5min of the Frontline Documentary I linked in my Putin’s War post on this site to see how transparent Putin really is. He is a master of manipulation and coordination of events to achieve plausible deniability.
Can you imagine American politicians and media pundits saying positive things about emperor Hirohito in Jan of 1943 without getting unified condemnation? Can you imagine any politician of that era arguing in a partisan way that Japan was really a good actor? Donald Trump, Margorie Green, Tucker Carlson, along with many others are all part of this subversive 5th column alive and well in our country. UNITE, condemn, cancel these people. They deserve it. America come together, unite to deal with the threat to democracy, decency and our way of life. Ultimately anyone giving aid or comfort to this aggressor should be charged with treason.
AMERICA FIRST

Here is a lecture from 2015 that tells us what is going to happen in Ukraine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4 This is not to assign blame to anyone. Political Science involves understanding what motivates our adversaries and allows us to predict behaviors of those adversaries. The lecture lays out the situation we are now living with. The video is 1hr and 15min long so I will give you the significant points.
Russia has more active nuclear weapons that we do. I leave it to you dear reader, did we want to deal with this crisis now or not.
I believe that China will probably take this opportunity to push confrontation during this crisis.
On the first point above. Democracy is something that people should have the freedom to choose. We must decide if we are going to support that choice or not. If we are, we have not done enough in Ukraine. I am encouraged that the world’s reaction has been quicker and more complete than has ever been seen before. There are further sanctions available. The largest is to stop Russian gas and oil from being an option. That move would be costly for the entire world but it would be the most crippling of all to Russia, depriving their economy of revenue from their primary export. Let us pray for the Ukrainian people and that this new global response is effective.
A few things to keep in mind. Putin has been stirring the pot. Looking back at N Korea, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Crimea. He will not stop until there is an actual military confrontation.
I am still researching this issue but the situation is changing hourly. I will post here frequently. If you wish to do the reading and or watching yourself, here are a few more links:
