  1. It's one or the other: either our own territorial integrity matters or the territorial integrity of a country we can't find on the map doesn't matter, but it can't be both (not unless Americans' knowledge of geography improves to where they can find the US on a map.)

  2. Yes, support their native countrymen destroying their country and losing thousands of Ukrainian lives for the sake of selling Ukraine out to NATO and denying the right of self-determination to the people of Crimea and the Donbass. What a way to love the people of Ukraine!

  3.  @namename-qb5xe  Where does one find videos of Ukrainians saying anything other than the most ridiculous pro-Western propaganda?

  4.  @starfishcoffee8933  The more you encourage this war to go on rather than to support the sides coming to terms -- and Russia's demands are very reasonable -- the more you support innocent people being murdered.

  5. Because representative democracy is a crappy system for choosing rulers.

  6. Lindsey Graham is about the worst of them (now that McCain is dead.)

  7. Abe Lincoln ended slavery? The Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure, designed to undermine the southern states, but it didn't do anything for slaves in the states fighting for the Union and it specifically exempted those areas of southern states that were controlled by the Union. As the London [England] Spectator said at the time, “The Union government liberates the enemy’s slaves as it would the enemy’s cattle, simply to weaken them in the conflict. The principle is not that a human being cannot justly own another, but that he cannot own him unless he is loyal to the United States.” The Emancipation Proclamation was as much about freeing slaves as Sherman's army's torches were about freeing Georgia's barns. As for Lincoln, here's some of what he said in 1861, stating his reasons to the people of America for not recognizing the southern states' right to self-government (his 1st inaugural address): "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so... a proposed amendment to the Constitution... has passed Congress, to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service... holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable." Slavery ended not because of anything Lincoln did but because Georgia ratified the 13th amendment, becoming the 27th state (thereby reaching the 3/4 of states constitutional threshold) and 10th slave state (counting all states that had been slave states at the start of the war as slave states) to ratify it. Sure, the 13th amendment probably passed sooner than it would have if it hadn't been for the war. The Austro-Hungarian Empire probably collapsed a lot sooner than it would have if it hadn't been for WWI, but that's no more reason to credit those responsible for WWI with bringing democracy to Czechoslovakia than crediting the man responsible for the war against southern independence for ending slavery in America.

  8. A war with a country with nuclear weapons might be over in a lot less than a week.

  9.  @michaelhill8441  I don't speak Russian or Chinese, and I doubt Tucker is sharing interviews of people in Ukraine.

  10. Yes, voting harder is clearly the answer to protecting the rights of political minorities (like people that don't want to get vaccinated.)

  11. "Debt relief for students" sounds like working class people subsidizing college for white collar people, steal from the poor to give to the rich. Isn't college supposed to enable people to get better jobs, make more money, etc. than people that didn't go to college? Is that advantage not even enough to pay for college?
