Kurt Schlichter – How to make Republicans and others leave Ukraine

People who believe they are best friends with Vladimir Putin and Russia include the same people who also think they are best friends with Volodymyr Zelenskyy or Ukraine. It’s not true. They like to think of themselves as smart, courageous defenders of democracy – and they are none of those things. The UKR Emoji Set is on its way to excluding many Americans from supporting Ukraine. It will eventually become a majority and then it can be solidified into a consensus that will be reflected in ballot boxes. And then Ukraine will be well and truly screwed – it sure as hell can’t rely on the euro eunuchs. 

What is the reason for this? Because the DC establishment believes that Ukraine policy cannot be debated and should not be open to questioning by the plebes. They make no argument for why we should support Ukraine – and there are potentially good arguments to be made, once we figure out exactly what America’s objective is. What they do is slander, anyone, not cozy and cuddly with the Official Approved Narrative™ – get on board or get trashed. Our garbage ruling cast’s total refusal to address legitimate concerns of Americans about our blank-check, non-audit-funded funding for the Russo-Ukrainian War, is the best way to ensure America stops supporting the underdogs. 

“Harrumph!” Look out for the Beltway’s smart people. “Have you seen the polls? A majority of American voters support helping Ukraine!” Ten months into their existence, they are. Do you think they’ll be there in a year? Or another unexplained and undebated $100 billion within ten months? Washington changes Americans’ minds
