Yamamoto said it best when Japan was stupidly discussing invading America, <there is> "a gun behind every blade of grass".

There is zero chance of that happening.

I fear for the republic sometimes.

Tucker has went to the George Will, William Buckley Jr side of GOP. He's always been a smug arrogant SOB now it just happens he's attacking mainstream Republicans.

And we all know pure evil exists.
We debate aid to an extremely small country surrounded by evil that wants to kill them. Are they perfect? Of course not. Neither unfortunately are we. But they are not intent on killing their neighbors.
So, should we just sit back and watch people be killed indiscriminately by evil and console ourselves that it’s not our problem?

Well, when a country like ours is 36 trillion dollars in debt and growing, and probably the two biggest causes of our debt is defense spending and sending foreign to every single country around the world, including countries that hate us, then yes, being an isolationist nation is the best course of action.

Also, if we are invaded, there are more guns than citizens in this country. We'll be ok for a while. The anti-second amendment nuts will change their tune real quick when Chinese or Russian soldiers break into their homes, and point the barrels of their guns at them with intent to kill.

1. Social spending and debt interest dwarfs military spending.

2. Were you not paying attention to Covid. It reminds me of the movies of aliens coming to earth and battling us with laser guns. In reality if they want our spec of dust they will kill us off very easily with a biological.

Mensa: "Oh, look! The Republican Party isn't in lockstep like we are! THEY'RE TOTALLY FRACTURING AND FALLING APART! WOO HOO!"

So you've forgotten what actual in-house debate looks like, eh, Mensa? Not surprised. But hey, keep grasping at those straws. You'll eventually grab one. (Maybe.)
