    Neither I nor the NYT claimed that Russia was the reason for Trump winning. They did point out that Russia did support Trump and did use misinformation to support him.

    this is the second time you’ve made the claim that Obama was responsible for Russian meddling. Do you have anything to back that up?

    Is the GOP really going to try to cut aid to Ukraine if they win back Congress? As long as the Ukrainians are willing to fight, I think they deserve our support. I don’t care if they aren’t in NATO, they are fighting for their freedom from Russia. Putin is not our friend. Putin is a war criminal.

    But Putin pays the GOP to help them run.

    I’m pretty sure there will be an attempt at it. I think the Republican caucus is divided on this and the Senate Republican caucus appears very much behind Ukraine.

    This will likely be one of the big headaches for McCarthy if he becomes speaker.

    What kind of world we live in when the GOP has found a war they didn't like?

    Not since intervening Bosnia...

    Lots of the GOP is pro-Russia so they are going to do what Russia wants.

    Russia funds GOP candidates through the NRA.

    It would help if they were issued guns ... and bullets.

    Had a Republican friend questioning if the Russian draft really was that bad. As in, she questioned whether they are really being given rusted guns, have a lack of training, and are that bad off.

    She basically said thataybe it's just a couple videos on the internet and it's not reality.


    I try to be objective, and look at all viewpoints, and I know that most of the time things are easily skewed, especially over the internet, but I told her that yes, I do indeed think that in most situations, things are that bad.

    Then she said, well, what about their nukes? They seem far more technologically advanced than anyone's. To which I responded that the United States definitely doesn't show its hand when it comes to weaponry on the battlefield. Don't underestimate us. And also, if things were such a facade with their military, how do we know that they truly have an arsenal of these technical marvels of nukes? I'm sure they have a bunch, but how do we know they're far superior to what we have?



    I'll hang up now and let the more knowledgeable posters tell me what an idiot I am. I'm legitimately curious to hear. Thanks.
