Why stop with Stalin?
To see the 20th Century, and history in general, in all its gory, go here:

Note in the address, “power kills.”

Today’s death of Navalny in Gulag is another reminder about Russian Empire’s evil nature. But don’t tell that to Tucker Carlson whose game I don’t understand…

But surely Tucker is right to maintain that Job One is to secure the U. S. border before we help Ukraine secure theirs.
As for Navalny, don’t you think the Deep State operatives who pull Puppet Joe’s strings would have Trump assassinated if that was the only way to stop him? With every passing day the U. S. become more and more like the S. U.
Why think that the leftist scum who cancel livelihoods would hesitate to cancel lives if it suited their purposes? -
Yes unfortunately US quickly drifts towards USSR’s totalitarian state. Securing US borders is definitely important. Re Ukraine — I consider this war to be much more than a local conflict between Ukraine and Russia. It’s a direct challenge to US led West. Russia, China and a nuclear Iran won’t stop unless they are deterred. Biden is not the right person for that. But Tucker seems to not care about the so called DragonBear danger even a tiny bit. And, on a side note, his interview with Putin was weak.

There are some things that intelligent people can reasonably disagree about. With respect to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and among conservatives, there is the Tucker Carlson school of thought and the Mark Levin school. I don’t know enough about the mess to take a firm stand one way or the other.
Looking back through my Foreign Policy category, I see that there has been some lively debate in these pages. https://maverickphilosopher.typepad.com/maverick_philosopher/foreign-policy/
It is clear, however, that the military-industrial complex profits from endless wars.
It is also clear the U.S. foreign policy is incoherent: Fund Iran and her proxies and cozy up to the Chicoms while while making Putin the new Hitler?
And I think it is time to drop the bullshit about POTUS being the Leader of the Free World. A line spouted over at FOX — who defenestrated Tucker. That POS who is current POTUS can’t lead himself off a stage. And the rest of the Dems are not much better. Is the USA the land of the free and the home of the brave?? Or the land of the enslaved and home of the useful idiot? -
Leadership is a huge problem — no thinking person can disagree with that… IMHO the same rank of veracity goes to “prepare for the worst and hope for the best” maxim, which in foreign policy translates to exhausting diplomacy to the max and investing in your military to keep clear and well known to the enemy advantages (aka the abandoned deterrence principle). Israel failed on the military side of the maxim and we all see the results in the present conflict. Current US leadership and, with them, Tucker’s school of isolationist conservative thought err in a similar manner and worse. Neglecting the military and not helping friendly countries in trouble — who, after all, are your outposts in the battle on the Western way of life — is a losing mindset in the long run with some tactical, but ultimately useless, benefits in the short run.

Thanks for the link Bill. It is a lengthy form of “it is the economy stupid” argument. Tell that to Israelis who were attacked by a bunch of religiously and hatred motivated terrorists… No consideration to DragonBear working together with Iran is given. Persuades only blind believers in universal applicability to “Economy Uber Alles” principle in international relations. We in the West deserve better reasoning than that. But he is right in retro about Iraq and Afghanistan neocon driven adventures.

It sounds extremely unbelievable to me, almost immediately after Putin’s interview with Tucker, which won him both a reinforcement of the support of people around the world who had not been against him and before, and additional supporters, Putin to kill Navalny.
But I also have a completely different perspective on the whole situation of the “war in Ukraine”, looking at it only from the point of view of the (global) transition to a new technological order, which is the number one goal, far ahead of everyone else, that Putin announced a few years ago. And I never remain disappointed by looking and assessing how much current events support the fulfillment of this immutable goal.
And, indeed, everything important that has been happening around Russia since at least 2020, if you look closely, from Russian sources, exclusively supports the fulfillment of the cherished goal. Not because I would like to see it like this, on the contrary – it is regularly noted by many reasonable patriots whom you would describe as similar to the American conservative right-wingers. Because it is a fact of life. Russian power factors have the big problem that many of the common people, small businessmen and some of the medium, are unwilling to voluntarily participate in the transition to a new technological order that is disruptive to their old way of life and to what they are as people in general, what they know as themselves.
And they solve this problem while building the conditions of the new reality. It’s not something much different than anywhere else, you can’t say it’s worse, but it’s just as bad. Yet, the main strategy is none other than the same.
What is certain is that the conditions for this intense transition, which has been taking place now and for 3-4 years, would never have been available without the “war” and the global event that preceded it. So this is a technical process of optimizing the transition to this new technological order.
