"We fight Russia over there so we don't have to fight them here," says Dem impeachment leader Adam Schiff in his opening statement.
I understand that Democratic Party leaders & allied media pundits are Cold War kooks now. Do the rest of us want to be enlisted in this lunacy?

BTW, Schiff made this remark by quoting House Judiciary witness & Stanford professor Pamela Karlan. Here's a refresher:
If you are an adversarial/progressive media outlet covering impeachment, and you're not covering & grappling w/ the Cold War chauvinism underpinning this whole thing, you're not doing it right. We accept MSM to parrot jingoism; it's the job of alternative media to scrutinize it.
Schiff: "These funds, they don't just benefit Ukraine. They benefit the security of the United States... This isn't just about Ukraine or its national security -- it's about our national security. This isn't charity -- it's about our defense as much as Ukraine's." 😂
More Schiff, citing hawk/Dem witness Bill Taylor: "The American aid was a concrete demonstration of the United States commitment to resist aggression and to defend freedom. That's what this country is supposed to be about, right? Resisting aggression, defending freedom?"
Schiff, channeling Reagan: "We also undermine our global standing as a country long viewed as a model for democratic ideals worth emulating. We have for generations been the shining city upon a hill that President Reagan described. America is not just a country but also an idea."
