…It really must be emphasized that GOP campaign rhetoric on Ukraine has been specifically designed for candidates to avoid articulating any tangible position. If you subject yourself to enough public appearances, debates, interviews, and so forth, the repetitive tedium of this talking point strategy is impossible to miss…
If anything, the GOP’s ostensible demand for additional “oversight” related to the Ukraine war is frequently paired with demands for even more aggressive US intervention.…
The ancient Romans did the same thing, why not supply a proxy war? Much less costly, best to save resources in case China becomes an adversary.
Can't say I'm surprised at that, given how historically speaking the Republican Party are the ones that tend to be warmongers/support anything war related.
@FuzzyMarineVet While the part with Dems being in office during certain wars like the world wars and Vietnam etc is true, Republican politicians of the time were also behind decisions to go to war. Truman may have been President at the time of the Korean War, but Eisenhower certainly backed that war too, and was responsible for starting an even worse war than the Korean one, in Vietnam (1955). Neither World War was initiated by the US, so those wars aren't exactly a good comparison. In recent times the Desert Storm and Iraq/other middle eastern wars were initiated by Republicans, the worse being the war in Iraq, in which one of my good friends was killed in action over there.
Both Parties are technically warmongers, but the Republicans generally support us going to war more so than the Democrats even, and it's the Republicans who believe in pumping endless amounts of money into our branches of Military.
