Gaetz said they should focus on domestic issues instead, like republicans care about domestic issues
He also said Russia should join NATO. He's a smart one!
Does he not know that NATO was created to counter the threat of the USSR?
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade comprehension level.
So there's a good chance the answer is 'No'.
And after the USSR collapsed, there was a real hope that we could integrate Russia into the Western system. But ultimately we could never have that because Russia is the main antagonist for Europe.
Without Russia as a threat there is very little reason for EU to bow down to American supremacy. So instead of NATO getting smaller after Russia became a shell of its former self, the alliance got bigger.
In 1991, Russia told NATO it wanted to join.
Yeah that's what their propaganda says. In fact there was never any application, or even a serious discussion about it.
I am now picturing a drunk Boris Yeltsin saying that to Bush senior followed by "I love you man"
I wonder if circumstances were entirely different in 1991. Probably not.
Well they do enjoy committing domestic violence!
And domestic terrorism
Is forcing women to give birth a domestic issue?
Yes tax cuts for the wealthy
Oh and don’t forget about oppressing women. That’s a huge domestic priority for them!
They're not lying. Domestic issues, as in lining their pockets. Cutting their taxes and the rich. Getting bribe money. You know. Domestic issues. How is sending money to Ukraine benefitting them? It's not. Domestic issues are more important.
You know. Domestic issues like whatever the fuck "wokeism" is. Hearing the goddamn speaker of the house say "wokeism" over and over is so fucking cringe. It's all theater for the base.
Nationalists only have domestic issues. Their xenophobia prevents them from caring to interact with anything beyond their borders except to fight it.
