CPAC ambiguous support for Putin
Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp on Saturday said the tweet did not clear the normal approval process because he was traveling for a conference in Australia. “Due to my travel into a distant time zone it was never approved per usual,” he said in a text message.
It sounds like somebody was trolling rather than conveying an official CPAC position.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Back to the real world unless you are a chicken little fan. There are more Republicans involved here in questionable views concerning the Ukraine invasion by Russia.
And is good reason not to waste time with the Washington Post.

I did. Those are only "questionable views" for someone who doesn't question the status quo. If Biden said we should send a trillion dollars to Turkey you would probably applaud him.Last edited by shunyadragon; 10-02-2022, 11:43 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

What would you propose to deal with the invasion of Ukraine resulting the systematic slaughter, rape and torture of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, kidnapping of of over 100.00 children, and the targeting of schools, hospitals and shopping malls with missiles, bombs and artilary. This is only a partial list of Putin's goal of ethnic cleansing to create a 'Fatherland' for ethnic Russians.. You sound like a Chamberlain apologist for Hitler's Germany. A similar view presented by others here. Though fortunately Biden's proposals to support Ukraine has Republican support.
OK, you want the US to send billions upon billions to Ukraine for humanitarian purposes. You think the US makes such wonderful choices and it couldn't possibly be making mistakes with Ukraine, what do you propose for Africa? Be consistent now ...

Rwanda and Uganda’s M23 Militia Reappears to Slaughter and Plunder in DRC; US backs Rwanda and Uganda
Rwanda and Uganda’s M23 militia have returned to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), once again slaughtering Congolese people to plunder their resources. To understand this, we have to return to March 2013, after M23 had been terrorizing DRC’s North Kivu Province for a year. The UN Group of Experts on the Democratic Republic of the Congo reported that Rwanda and Uganda, but most of all Rwanda, were commanding and supplying M23.
The UN Security Council then created a Combat Force Intervention Brigade within the UN peacekeeping operation to drive them out. Usually, the UN Peacekeepers’ task is simply to protect civilians, but the Combat Intervention Brigade had an unprecedented combat mandate—to work with the Congolese army to root out M23. They succeeded, under the heroic leadership of Congolese Colo nel Mamadou N'Dala Moustapha , but the “international community” then engineered a “negotiated peace” that handed the victory to Rwanda, Uganda, and their M23, and Colonel Mamadou was tragically assassinated. I asked Maurice Carney, Executive Director of Friends of the Congo about how that happened...

Without a doubt, the far right love Putin far too much. Their project always is to separate power from the people. Putin’s Russia is a prime example.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

There are more broader issues here, such as Putin's stated imperialist plans to do the same for all of Eastern Europe and the old Soviet Asia. He has appealed to old Czarist traditional claims of imperialism.
Please respond to the issue of the thread!!!Last edited by shunyadragon; 10-02-2022, 11:58 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
