Putin wouldn't have launched this invasion if he weren't certain of a divided America

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/02/putin-wouldnt-have-launched-this.html

It was Republican Senator Bob Corker, former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who said the former President's words and actions when it came to Putin's interference in the 2016 election, and to the soft-pedaling of sanctions made the country "look like a pushover." I think that's an apt description of the former President when it comes to anything having to do with foreign policy, period, but especially anything having to do with Putin. His claim that he was "tougher on Russia than any other President has been" is an outright lie. If he had been, Putin would not now be invading the Ukraine.

Ironic, isn't it, that the political party which loves to take credit for having a President in office when the Soviet Union fell apart is now supporting the Marxist dictator who wants to bring it back.

Just a little reminder of who we need to vote for in November. And who we need to vote against.

and he's just biding his time to take Russia back to Communism. But yes, he's a fascist, just like Former President 45.

When the World Trade Center was attacked, and the United States was about to invade Iraq, there was a Republican in the White House. Even though the invasion was directed at the wrong country, for the wrong reasons, when the Republicans asked for unity, they got it. We are now facing a crisis, perpetrated by a dictator whose values are the polar opposite of American idealism. Though we are not being invaded, nor are we invading another country, we still need unity. If the Republicans really are patriots, then they'll step up and get behind the President. If they don't then that will tell us just how far they have departed from being true American patriots.
