1/8 "We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the Iron Curtain, 'Give up your dreams of freedom...
2/8 ...because to save our own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your slave masters.'

Alexander Hamilton said, 'A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one." Now let's set the record straight. There's no argument over the...
3/8 ...choice between peace and war, but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace - and you can have it in the next second - surrender . . . You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery."

1/15 Correct; and the only way our party will do better is if they pay close attention to the economic counterarguments and present laissez-faire reform, which markets the benefits that planned economics promises to, yet cannot deliver.

The reason they're on the defensive is...
2/15 ...because they have ignored those of us in the party who have demanded the messaging change from this nonsense about Trump this and that, "election stolen" that, the pro-Russian narratives, conspiracies around COVID, denials of Climate Change, and the rest.

They're. . .
3/15 ...afraid they cannot win in these areas, so they simply deny or deflect to another subject, altogether, which simply isn't a winning campaign.

We're fighting a losing battle, if this approach continues.

They need to be very aggressive and...

Then there's the manufacturing jobs he spoke of. National industrial policy, a protectionist command economy, isn't going to solve job losses and business closures facilitated by government decree.

After all, the manufacturing sector bears about 4x the regulatory cost per. . .
. . . employee than the next highest sector of the economy.

They forced those jobs overseas, because domestic industry couldn't produce at a low enough cost as a consequence of the former, thus making their prices uncompetitive.

So, in the end, we're going to pay more for. . .
. . . less, rather than simply gutting the crony anti-capitalist regulations that solely benefit corporate monopolies.

The same is true of state ownership the energy sector in relation to climate change. Privatizing utilities would see lower prices and a more diversified market.

There's an endless list of economic misinformation peddled by Biden tonight, chief among them the suggestion they'll expand taxation for social security.

All taxation for FICA, including the tax paid by your employer, is part of your wage cost, reducing take-home accordingly.
He claims this is not a tax on people earning below $400,000.

It's a blasphemous lie to advance the legislative agenda, because everyone knows workers likely wouldn't even support social security if they knew this.

15.3% of all your earnings already taken for Social Security.
Many men die before they even get a chance to draw from it, too.

It's a scam.

1/4 Russia's invasion of Ukraine began long before Crimea's annex.

The KGB-FSB has had long-term plans to recapture or maintain ex-Soviet States as vassals, since the 1990s, precisely why many joined NATO.

They knew Moscow, Putin and his Soviet thugs, would stop at nothing.
2/4 The post-World and Cold War international security architecture, which we built throughout the West, holds this line and prevents them from expanding.

Both the invasion of Georgia and Ukraine evince this reality.

1/ #NAFOarticle5,

As one who has studied unconventional warfare for a decade, about 5 years ago, I commented on the nature of Russia's techniques, in the below video, re:Russia's initial invasion of Ukraine that began even before 2014.

All these years later, what do we see?
2/ Never has it been more true, and all these useful idiots, who only just ventured into the subject of Russia, in relation to their full-scale conventional invasion of Ukraine, are the supposed experts, despite being victims of precisely what I described would take place.
3/ Russia has been carrying out the mass-brainwashing of western populations in an effort to provision themselves with the ability to carry out their foreign policy objectives.

A not insignificant proportion of my political aisle have tragically succumbed to it.
