Tucker asks the questions no one in Washington seems to be asking: What’s our business in Ukraine, and why? Highlights include:
“Just because something seems far-fetched, seems crazy, or seems totally destructive to core American interests doesn’t mean the US government won’t do it. That’s the main lesson at the moment we’re living in.”
“Biden is unpopular, he’s incompetent, and he’s desperate.”
“But more than anything, Joe Biden is weak. He is a pawn of his staff and the hard-eyed ideologues who surround him. Russian is currently involved in a border dispute with neighboring Ukraine. Many of Biden’s closest aides are pushing the United States to get involved militarily.”
“And among the many ironies here is that the Ukraine crisis was largely created by Joe Biden’s own aides and many people like them throughout all levels of the US government.”
“What is this really about? Of course it’s not about ‘democracy,’ for which they have zero respect.”
“Well, in part it’s a hangover from the lunatic Russia hoax that absorbed Washington for three years. Everything about Vladimir Putin is bad, therefore let’s have a war with him.”
“But there’s also a deeper cause here that’s rarely noted. For years Ukranian interests have pumped millions of lobbying dollars into Washington, D.C. to change American foreign policy in the region.”
“Tens of thousands of dollars a month to tell us that Russia is bad and we need to stand with Ukraine … ‘cuz democracy … even as we work to overthrow democracy in Ukraine.”
“The only question that matters is how does intervening in Ukraine help the core interests of the United States? And of course that is the one question no one in Washington is asking.”
“Putin is so bad, we’re gonna cut off natural gas to Western Europe in retaliation against him in December. We’re gonna freeze Germany and Luxembourg and that’s gonna teach Vladimir Putin.”
“If we challenge Russia on its doorstep, we will be defeated. That’s not an if, that’s a certainty. And if we are stupid enough to consider the use of nuclear weapons to rescue our conventional failure, well then, we’re courting the destruction of the known world.”
“We have one interest: That is to prevent a war from breaking out between Ukraine and Russia.”
