"SNIP......

“Republican lawmakers — following former President Trump’s lead — are working with a wide range of conservative groups to pull back American support for Ukraine, the Middle East and Europe,” Axios reports.

......SNIP"

Applegrove: The New Right and Trump want the West to fall apart and be vulnerable to war so that new oligarchs in Russia, the USA, Middle East and everywhere can take the wealth. There is no other way to get the wealth but war or fascism. Fascism is perpetual war within a country. There is no war if NATO is in place.

That’s why it’s so important that Ukraine is able to stay a democracy. There isn’t war in the US but there is definitely a group, Trump etal that is pushing hard for fascism.

Yes, maybe one off with dotard, but we do it again and our allies will cut us lose as totally unreliable. I have seen articles talking about whether the EU should form their own army, I think the answer is yes absolutely.
