It\u2019s not a suggestion, it is a mandate, anything less than hatred for Putin is treason.<\/p>\n<p>Many Americans have obeyed this directive. They now dutifully hate Vladimir Putin, maybe you\u2019re one of them. Hating Putin has become the central purpose of America\u2019s foreign policy. It\u2019s the main thing that we talk about. Entire cable channels are now devoted to it.<\/p>\n<p>Very soon, that hatred of Vladimir Putin could bring the United States into a conflict in Eastern Europe. Before that happens, it might be worth asking yourself since it is getting pretty serious: What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle-class job in my town to Russia?<\/p>\n<p>Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Is he trying to snuff out Christianity? Does he eat dogs?<\/p>\n<p>These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir Putin didn\u2019t do any of that. So why does permanent Washington hate him so much?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been watching the news, you know that Putin is having a border dispute with a nation called Ukraine. Now the main thing to know about Ukraine for our purposes, is that its leaders once sent millions of dollars to Joe Biden\u2019s family. Not surprisingly, Ukraine is now one of Biden\u2019s favorite countries.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has pledged to defend Ukraine\u2019s borders even as he opens our borders to the world. That\u2019s how it works. Invading America is called equity, invading Ukraine is a war crime.<\/p>\n<p>So with every day we move closer to some kind of conflict with Russia, a conflict that could easily spin out of control given that the people running us have no fine motor skills.<\/p>\n<p>The administration assures us this has nothing at all to do with repaying Joe Biden\u2019s personal debts to Ukrainian oligarchs. Not at all. It\u2019s completely and totally unrelated. The point here is to defend democracy, not that Ukraine is a democracy, it is not a democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine\u2019s President has arrested his main political opponent. He has shut down newspapers and television stations that have dared to criticize him.<\/p>\n<p>So in American terms, you would call Ukraine a tyranny. But Joe Biden likes Ukraine so Putin bad, war good. How will this conflict affect you? Well, it will affect you quite a bit, actually.<\/p>\n<p>Energy prices in the United States are about to go way up and that means that everything you buy will become much more expensive, from the food you eat to the car you drive, to tickets you need to take your family on vacation this summer, assuming you can still afford vacation by then.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re about to become measurably poor. That\u2019s not a guess. Joe Biden has admitted this.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, you\u2019re going to win an important moral victory against dastardly old Vladimir Putin, who is much, much worse than Justin Trudeau. Just so you know.<\/p>\n<p>So you can feel good about that, because \u2014 because \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see, come to think of it. Why would you feel good about that? It seems like a pretty terrible deal for you, and for the United States. Hunter Biden gets a million dollars a year from Ukraine, but you can no longer afford to go out to dinner. That\u2019s not a bargain. So what are we missing here?<\/p>\n<p>What we\u2019re missing is the big picture. And that\u2019s why Joe Biden has dispatched Kamala Harris to explain that picture to us. Kamala Harris\u2019s old job was to open America\u2019s borders. She did that.<\/p>\n<p>Her new job is to keep Ukraine\u2019s borders closed. Kamala Harris was in Europe the other day to explain the whole thing. She began with a history lesson, letting the European peoples know about the recent past, which she assumes they\u2019ve forgotten since so few of them speak English.<\/p>\n<p>She opened with a traditional salutation. \u201cListen, guys,\u201d because that\u2019s the way real historians and states people talk. Watch Kamala educate.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>KAMALA HARRIS (D), VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I mean, listen, guys, we\u2019re talking about the potential for war in Europe. I mean, let\u2019s really take a moment to understand the significance of what we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Spent over 70 years, and through those 70 years, as I mentioned yesterday, there has been peace and security. We are talking about the real possibility of war in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Listen, guys, you may be Europeans who live in Europe, but you don\u2019t fully understand the ramifications of war in Europe. That\u2019s your problem. The thing about Europe you\u2019ve had peace and security for more than 70 years. Kamala Harris just told the Europeans that, and that, by the way is true if you don\u2019t count the breakup of Yugoslavia, which caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in the 1990s or the Soviet occupation of half of the landmass which amounted to the enslavement of hundreds of millions.<\/p>\n<p>But apart from that Mrs. Lincoln, it\u2019s all been peace and security in Europe, until now. The Soviets are fine. Vladimir Putin is bad.<\/p>\n<p>What do we do about that? Kamala Harris explained that, too. Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>HARRIS: And the Allied relationship is such that we have agreed that the deterrence effect of these sanctions is still a meaningful one, especially because remember also, we still sincerely hope that there is a diplomatic path out of this moment.<\/p>\n<p>And within the context, then, of the fact that that window is still opening \u2014 still open \u2014 although it is absolutely narrowing, but within the context of a diplomatic path still being open. The deterrence effect, we believe, has merit.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Got that? Take a breath and let it sink in. Here it is, again, quote: \u201cWe have agreed that the deterrence effect of these sanctions is still a meaningful one, especially because remember, also, we still sincerely hope that there is a diplomatic path out of this moment within the context then of the fact that the window is still opening \u2014 still open \u2014 although it is absolutely narrowing, but within the context of a diplomatic path still being open, the deterrence effect we believe, has merit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course it has merit. The only question is: What the hell are you talking about? And the answer is Kamala Harris has no real idea what she\u2019s talking about. She can\u2019t even point to the direction of what she is talking about. Her mouth opens and predigested chunks of language come tumbling out in no particular order. It\u2019s soothing to listen to until you try to understand what it means.<\/p>\n<p>As Kamala Harris told us just last month, quote, \u201cIt is time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.\u201d To which we\u2019d respond. That\u2019s right, Miss Vice President Person, today is the first day of the rest of your life. Learn it, love it, live it. And while you\u2019re at it, Eat, Pray, Love.<\/p>\n<p>You can just imagine Vladimir Putin\u2019s reaction to all this when an aide drops a translated transcript of Kamala Harris\u2019s remarks on his desk. The Slavic mind is a hall of mirrors. It sees traps at every intersection. Clearly, Kamala Harris must be setting some sort of trap for the Russians here. Her words don\u2019t make sense, but she can\u2019t possibly be dim and childish.<\/p>\n<p>America is a superpower. It would never put a senile man and an imbecile in charge of the country. On the other hand, maybe so.<\/p>\n<p>And by the way, it\u2019s not just our country. A few weeks ago, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with his British counterpart, Liz Truss. Lavrov asked Truss if her country recognized Russian sovereignty over Rostov and Verona\u2019s both of which are actually parts of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>So it was a trick question. But Liz Truss, who used to work in sales, had no idea. So she replied that Great Britain would never recognize these regions as Russian, despite the fact they already are Russian.<\/p>\n<p>So Liz Truss has no idea what she\u2019s talking about, either. But here\u2019s the thing. She wasn\u2019t embarrassed about that. None of them are embarrassed about that.<\/p>\n<p>John Bolton knows a lot. On the other hand, he spent decades weakening America with terrible foreign policy ideas, and getting a lot of decent people killed for no good reason at all. So you\u2019d think at this point, if justice were real, John Bolton would be living in isolation and shame somewhere spending his days in atonement, that\u2019s what you would do, but that\u2019s not what he\u2019s doing? No.<\/p>\n<p>Here is John Bolton on MSNBC demanding yet another war, this one with the nuclear-armed power. Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>ANDREA MITCHELL, MSNBC HOST: Do you think that U.S. forces should actually go in to defend Ukraine?<\/p>\n<p>JOHN BOLTON, FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: Well, I think it\u2019s probably too late for that now. But I would say this, the red line between being a treaty ally of the United States and not being one is significant, but the issue as in all issues like this, is would a Russian invasion and takeover of Ukraine adversely affect American National Security and that of its NATO allies? The answer to that is absolutely yes.<\/p>\n<p>We did not act appropriately early. I think we should have had more American forces in Ukraine not to fight the Russians, but to train with the Ukrainians and to show those Russian generals looking across the border and seeing American flags, I wonder what that means? Biden took that off the table, saying there would be no American forces involved, and he got nothing for it.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: So the only problem with Joe Biden\u2019s Ukraine policy says John Bolton is that it is too weak. Your kids aren\u2019t fighting there right now. Hunkered down in February, shooting at Putin. Let\u2019s try a Winter War in Russia. No one has done it before, but we have high hopes.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Vindman is in fact demanding it. Unlike the British Foreign Secretary, Alexander Vindman knows quite a bit about Ukraine. In fact, he was born there. Alexander Vindman believes you have a moral obligation to defend his homeland, and if you don\u2019t, you\u2019re a murderer.<\/p>\n<p>Watch him once again, on MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>LT. COL. ALEXANDER VINDMAN (RET), U.S. ARMY: I think these folks, these right-wing pundits, and the G.O.P. that supports them, really, frankly, have blood on their hands because they\u2019re encouraging and enticing this kind of opportunism from Putin, and it is not what \u2014 it\u2019s not just kind of plain rhetoric like you could say something without consequences, like too often happens in the United States. This has real consequences and people are going to die because of this.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: Yes, they\u2019re going to die. So your job is to take up arms in defense of Alexander Vindman\u2019s home country or else you\u2019re evil, you have blood on your hands, and that\u2019s effectively our policy. Okay, Alexander Vindman, you got us. It is a compelling argument. We\u2019re in.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s this going to cost us to defend the country you were born in?<\/p>\n<p>Well, in fact, Joe Biden addressed that question today. Defending freedom will have cost for us here at home, Biden said. We need to be honest about it. Really?<\/p>\n<p>Biden went on to outline what he called the pain of our sanctions. Watch.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>BIDEN: We are implementing full blocking sanctions on two large Russian financial institutions, VTB and their military bank. We\u2019re implementing comprehensive sanctions on Russian\u2019s sovereign debt. That means we\u2019ve cut off Russia\u2019s government from Western financing. It can no longer raise money from the west and cannot trade in its new debt on our markets or European markets.<\/p>\n<p>Starting tomorrow, and continuing in the days ahead, we will also impose sanctions on Russian elites and their family members. They share in the corrupt gains of the Kremlin policies and should share in the pain as well.<\/p>\n<p>Because of Russia\u2019s actions, we\u2019ve worked with Germany to ensure Nord Stream 2, will not, as I promised, will not move forward.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: So let\u2019s put aside the question of why you would ever want to shut down any energy pipeline anywhere ever, especially now crude oil is nearing $100.00 a barrel, it\u2019s the highest price since 2014. That\u2019s not a small thing, because you need energy to live. It\u2019s not negotiable.<\/p>\n<p>So how does having less energy help the United States? Joe Biden didn\u2019t even hint at an answer to that, he didn\u2019t answer any questions, he ran away the second he had finished reading the script.<\/p>\n<p>Back in real life, every person knows nothing will tank our economy faster than cutting off the supply of fossil fuels because despite what you may have heard from noted energy experts like Sandy Cortez, a country of 340 million people can\u2019t run on windmills and solar panels. And even if we had enough of those, which we don\u2019t, we don\u2019t have the transmission lines to get that power to your house, and we won\u2019t for a long time. So that\u2019s all a lie.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t worry, says Kamala Harris, the administration has ways of fixing the spike in energy prices. We\u2019ve got it under control, because it turns out, Kamala Harris is secretly in charge of global energy markets.<\/p>\n<p>No, just kidding. Harris has no idea what a barrel of oil costs. She doesn\u2019t know how natural gas is measured. What she knows about is diversity, and that\u2019s pretty much it, though, she does sense that everything is about to get a lot more expensive for you, and so to warn you, she mentioned it today.<\/p>\n<p>(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION: The President has already said Americans will be facing some economic fallout or some hardships. Can you explain to Americans what exactly will they face if this happened?<\/p>\n<p>HARRIS: Sure, as the President talked about in his speech, we are aware that, again, when America stands for principles, and all of the things that we hold dear, it requires sometimes for us to put ourselves out there in a way that maybe we will incur some cost and in this situation, that may relate to energy costs, for example.<\/p>\n<p>(END VIDEO CLIP)<\/p>\n<p>CARLSON: So what are the principles we\u2019re defending here? We\u2019re defending a regime that has arrested their main rival and shut down opposition media. What principle is at stake here apart from rewarding the Biden family\u2019s patrons?<\/p>\n<p>But at least she\u2019s honest enough to say, what\u2019s happening in Eastern Europe, quote, \u201cmay relate to energy costs.\u201d That\u2019s a euphemism for good luck filling your truck this August.<\/p>\n<p>Does that bother Kamala Harris? Maybe it does in the short term. Voters aren\u2019t going to like it in November, their party will be punished. But they\u2019re doing it anyway. They\u2019re shutting down domestic energy pipelines here. They\u2019re picking a fight with Europe\u2019s biggest gas supplier. So maybe there\u2019s something bigger at work here. Maybe they\u2019re thinking long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe they\u2019re not against rising oil and gas prices, maybe, they are for them. Maybe expensive energy would be good for the many renewable deals their friends and donors are invested in.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know the answer. We do know that all of us are about to suffer. So we hope that hating Vladimir Putin was worth it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday on FNC\u2019s \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight,\u201d host Tucker Carlson opened his program by questioning the narrative against Russian President Vladimir Putin presented by the media and what Carlson deemed to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1332803","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1332803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1332803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1332803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1332803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
