"The precipitous and chaotic American abandonment of Afghanistan, without proper consultation and support for allies, less than a year ago was a great shock to the NATO alliance, raising grave doubts about the judgment, stability and reliability of the U.S. as leader of the free world.

Now, in the rapidly changing landscape of the Ukraine war, we are seeing ominous signs that the U.S. may be leading NATO in the direction of an even worse strategic humiliation — one that can result in a dramatic reconfiguration of the world’s geopolitical structure."

Do you remember just a few weeks ago when all the Democrats were all gung ho about the prospect of going to war with Russia? How's that going for you now? How's the Ruble?

Oh yea, thanks for the inflation and high gas prices for this little adventure of yours...

Wow the school district that had me read Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 is getting their mojo back!

Well, I'll use one example.
They had tapes of Flynn talking to the Russian ambassador.
He plead guilty in court to lying about those conversations (hard to say you didn't have them when the FBI has you on tape).

Does that count, or are you still confused? I'm guessing the FBI guys and the judge were "college educated."
Then again, maybe not.

So a general in the incoming administration can’t talk to a foreign Ambassador?

Who set up the recording and why? Are you still confused?

I’ll help, talking to an Ambassador of a foreign country during the transition of power is not illegal. Recording it potentially is..

Like I said, perjury trap. Try to keep up Paul.

Sounds like you and the FBI should have a chat.

They're the ones with the tape recorders you think may be illegal.

Maybe, maybe not illegal but the reason they did it was based on a big lie from the Clinton campaign.

I think Flynn was caught on tape with the Russian ambassador, because the FBI routinely tapes Russian officials in our country.
Not sure if the Clinton campaign had anything to do with that routine taping. Hadn't heard that.
And if talking to the Russian ambassador at that point was legal, why did the National Security Advisor lie about it?
If it was legal, why did he lie to Pence about it, which Trump used as a reason to fire him?

The FBI opened the investigation based off the Steele dossier. The CIA would handle International comms not the FBI.

Don’t know, maybe he didn’t trust the Obama FBI or Spence. He’s a General, he’s going to not trust a whole lot of people with info.
