Favoring negotiation over eternal US taxpayer funded warfare is hardly rooting for Putin and his dreams global communism. It's putting the American taxpayer first. The Bush world police policy and nation building all courtesy of the US taxpayer and blood of the American soldier is over.
Pro Tip: Advocating for giving Putin territory (or as I guess the new spin word, "negotiation") is de facto supporting his expansionist endeavors.
So bizarre to witness the GOP advocating for the Neville Chamberlain method in regards to Putin's aggression.

Incidentally, as some clutch their pearls, worrying about the American taxpayer because of $75 Billion in aide to Ukraine, Trump's very first budget was an increased deficit above Obama's last year. More socialist than Obama. Before even COVID, the first two years of Trump surpassed the deficit spending of the last three years of Obama. Trillions of deficit spending by dear leader, saddling every single American with about $23,500 in new federal debt (link)... meh.

... but $75 Billion to Ukraine... won't something think of the taxpayers?!??!??!111!!???

Oh, OK. Is the new Confederacy surrendering again?

Will someone let Putin know about this? It would seem highly advantageous to his agenda.

Rhonda Santis, along with his campaign manager Elon Musk, appeared together on Twitter to announce he is running for President today.

They've been raising the alarm about "socialism" in the US while rooting for Putin who views the collapse of the USSR as the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. It's clear he's hellbent on recreating the USSR as best he can and people like Ajax would stand by and do nothing. They applaud Trump who admired dictators such as Putin, Kim "love letters" Jong-un and Rodrigo "I want to be like Hitler" Duterte. So much for caring about freedom and the spread of "socialism".

I disagree. As long as the American people still think it's a good idea, it'll continue.

Sadly, you are right again. What I meant was that the Republican party will likely not be nominating these kind of candidates anymore. But having another Republican president is extremely unlikely. It doesn't even take a majority of people to be in favor of nation building or bankrupting the country. The deep state and globalist oligarchs choose our president and make the rules, not the voters.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

The confederates weren't a threat to northern security. They weren't building weapons of mass destruction. They had slaves but China has slaves right now. What's the difference?
You misunderstand. The breaking up of the United States was a failure of democracy, and to let it happen a resolution that the values and principles on which the nation was founded could not bind a nation together. In Lincoln's words:

"Is there, in all republics, this inherent and fatal weakness? Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?" Abraham Lincoln, address to Congress on July 4, 1861.

Maintaining the union demonstrated that sharp disagreement between states over fundamental issues such as human rights should not and could not destroy a nation founded on the belief all men were created equal. We are still working on realizing that lofty promise, realizing how we fail but must strive to better protect that inherent birth right of all human beings regardless of gender, race, religion, or social status.

What you demand is failure. You don't understand how your selfishness is corrosive to the very principles you pretend are being withheld from you. Your beliefs and the propoganda that drive them are inherently anti-American.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
