Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Sunday that the United States needs to accept that Ukraine will likely need to “cede some territory” to Russia to end the fighting. Vance told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he is opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine because he does not believe the country will ever be able to overpower Russia. He questioned why sending billions in aid to Ukraine is going to help the country at this point in its war against Russia, considering previous aid has yet to end the war. “What’s in America’s best interest is to accept Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians, and we need to bring this war to a close,” Vance said. “But when I think about the great human tragedy here, hundreds of thousands of Eastern Europeans innocent have been killed in this conflict. The thing that’s in our interest and in theirs is to stop the killing.”
When did the right go commie?
Never they just understand that putin is a capitalist dictator and that’s what they’ve always respected
They didn’t go commie… they’ve gone authoritarian….
At the extreme ends of the political spectrum, there is little difference…
Nah, horshoe theory conveniently forgets that there are two other corners on that map. There are extremists of all flavors.
What you speak of is ONLY authoritarians. There have been “left” authoritarians, but every action of an authlritarian is a step away from being actually left. You cannot promote freedom while taking choice away without being a massive hypocrite. Spoilers: China, the USSR, etc, etc… They were/are all MASSIVE hypocrites.
A massive movement to violently effect political reform is VERY difficult for normies to parse through. Authoritarians and saviors, the difference is in whos words you believe. There are many gullible people. Even well-intentioned and planned coups have basically all resulted in more or different authority, not less.
The political spectrum is a sphere not a grid
What if it’s a hyperbolic paraboloid?
Shape isn’t as important as realizing it is a spectrum with multiple facets, not an either/or situation. Even anarchists realize some authority has to exist, at least the ones older than 16.
Russia is not a communist state- if anything, its politics are fascist. The American right has been looking at post-soviet Russia as a model for how it wants to run the USA.
They didn’t go commie, they went “bribed”
