When former KGB officer Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, he said it was to defeat Nazis and fascists, even though the Hitler-Stalin Pact started World War II. Now Comrade Kamala is using the same ploy against Trump, when her “joy” campaign is based on the Nazi program “Strength through Joy“ that was designed to build Hitler’s Third Reich. So would a Kamala regime become the Fourth Reich?
This doesn’t make sense, you might say, because Kamala supports the war in Ukraine and warns of the dangers of isolationism. She sounds critical of Putin.
It begins to make sense when you remember that Putin has endorsed Kamala. The war in Ukraine, the result of Democratic policies that disarmed Ukraine after the Soviet collapse, has not benefitted Ukraine. They say Russia is now so depleted of fighting soldiers that it has begun importing communist troops from North Korea. But it could also mean that Putin remains a communist and enjoys the support of other communists. In that case, Putin might import Chinese troops.
In any case, it is one big bloody mess, as Trump might say, that could easily morph into a nuclear confrontation.
Putin has used the war to consolidate his power. It also benefits his own military industrial complex.
On Fox, of all places, Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin has lobbied for more weapons for Ukraine, which would only prolong the war and the bloodshed, by asking Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the benefits of making weapons in states like Pennsylvania. This is the final argument of what Eisenhower called the military industrial complex.
The “military-industrial complex” serves a valid purpose – national defense – and China, Russia, and radical Islam, especially Iran, are among the major threats. But using weapons for political purposes in a no-win war is immoral.
It is sad to see this kind of display on Fox, which is why I have been using, almost exclusively, Newsmax as my source of news. It is run by an old friend, Chris Ruddy, who is now taking the channel into the public arena, offering an IPO to interested investors. I interviewed Chris on my new Rumble TV channel several weeks ago.
I was in support of Ukraine’s war against Russian aggression until Ukraine President Zelensky’s visit to a Pennsylvania arms factory, surrounded by Democrats, that convinced me the war should stop, and that Trump’s plan for a ceasefire and peace settlement is the way to go.
This was a stupid partisan mistake on Zelensky’s part and demonstrates he doesn’t have the best interests of his people at heart. He should be replaced, as should Putin. The war should never have taken place, and it wouldn’t have occurred if Trump had been in office, rather than have the election stolen from him through illegal mail-in ballots.
America should stop the bleeding on both sides of the war so further escalation doesn’t take place.
To support Kamala’s last-minute smear of Trump, former Trump official General John Kelly has also accused Trump of fascism. He says nothing about Kamala’s communism, the subject of Trevor Loudon’s new book, Stealth.
Kelly was another mistake who left his post as an adviser for defense contractor DynCorps when he went to work for Trump. Kelly was eventually fired by Trump. The firm was described as a “private military conglomerate” that made billions of dollars for its work in the Middle East.
This is a man who wants to keep the dollars flowing to the military industrial complex because he makes money from the arrangement.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has compiled a list of states benefitting from defense contracts, in order to generate more support for the war in Ukraine and Kamala’s position, as endorsed by Putin. This way, people on both sides die. Putin doesn’t care. He has sacrificed his own people to stay in power in the past, such as the KGB-instigated apartment bombings blamed on Muslims.
I don’t oppose military equipment for allies like Israel, which has a unique status as a Jewish state formed in the wake of the Holocaust and faces enemies with potential nuclear weapons like Iran.
The difference is Russia already has nuclear weapons (stolen from us by spies) and is prepared to use them. Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, left over from the Soviet days, and largely dismantled its conventional arms capabilities. That’s what happens when the leadership of Ukraine listens to and obeys Democrat Presidents like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Clinton’s Budapest Memorandum was the measure that disarmed Ukraine’s nuclear weapons and sent them to Moscow.
In short, Israel can win its war and Ukraine can’t. It is that simple.
Now, Clinton meanders around Georgia, supposedly to rally Democrats for Kamala, while the major media conveniently ignore his sexual conquest of White House intern Monica Lewinsky when he was in office, then lying about it, resulting in losing his law license.
Using Clinton is like the fascism card.
All the talk about Nazis and fascists ignores how the military industrial complex benefits from wars that can’t be won. And example number one is Ukraine. That’s why it must end. Zelensky has not leveled with his own people.
Biden never intended for Ukraine to win, and it’s clear by now that Kamala doesn’t understand anything about the war, or much else, anyway. In my opinion, while she has communist roots, as Trevor maintains, she is more like an ambitious woman who will do anything for more power and influence. To boost her career, she “dated” a top Democrat, Willie Brown, who was married at the time, and then she got paid handsomely through taxpayer funds for various positions. This is why some critics call her by the derogatory term, “ho.”
In terms of the war in Ukraine, remember Putin didn’t invade under Trump. He invaded under Obama and Biden/Harris. And it continues without end, making money for the Pentagon and defense contractors and enabling Putin to pose as a Russian nationalist fighting the West and NATO.
Putin endorses Harris because he knows she will eventually settle the conflict on Moscow’s terms so she can look like a peacemaker. Trump will settle for tougher terms, to make sure Ukraine can rebuild its country without the constant threat of another war from Russia.
That is the choice.
For real anti-communists, a Trump peace settlement buys time for Ukraine to rebuild and seek new leadership. And since arms shipments to Ukraine are in fact resulting in a serious shortage of arms and ammunition in the American arsenal and NATO member states, the answer is to rebuild our own “military-industrial complex” and rededicate it to protecting America first.
