Nikki Haley vowed to stand with Israel “every step of the way.” She promised to “decimate” the Iranian economy. And she called for continued funding for Ukraine as it fights to repel the Russian invasion.
“It’s a dangerous world right now,” Haley told Republican primary voters gathered inside New Hampshire’s American Legion Post No. 7 as a new war raged in the Middle East. “And this is gonna get messier before it gets better.”
Less than 24 hours later, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told New Hampshire business leaders that the United States should stop funding Ukraine until there is a clear strategy. He was more focused on what he saw as a threat posed by foreign nationals at the U.S.-Mexico border. And Israel, he said, has a right to defend itself.
“I don’t think there’s going to be a lot we even need to do militarily,” DeSantis said of the war between Israel with Hamas. “We may have to provide some additional support like we’ve traditionally done, but I think mostly it’s just the moral clarity to say, ‘They don’t have to live like this.’”
Republicans are pro war for literal decades.
Republicans become “isolationists” for two years so that they don’t disturb Russia’s imperialistic genocide.
Republicans become pro war again.
I think it’s hilarious that we’re all still collectively pretending that conservatives give a shit about either side of this conflict.
“We may have to provide some additional support like we’ve traditionally done, but I think mostly it’s just the moral clarity to say, ‘They don’t have to live like this.’”
Live like what? Illegal settlers who steal land/homes and oppress a people in an apartheid state until those people feel they have no other recourse than to violently resist their oppressors?
I’d agree with that. Would probably solve a whole host of problems too.
Fingers crossed Republican isolationism spreads from their opposition to one of America’s few unambiguously morally justified foreign interventions in Ukraine to opposing the usual run of bloodthirsty imperialist interventions too. Not holding my breath though, their principle is “always support what does more harm” not isolationism
the policy is support the money
harm is just the byproduct
if the harm is obvious and the profit isn’t just assume the grift is somewhere up stream
Eff New Hampshire. It’s a naive career criminal shit hole.
