Tuberville ‘prepared to burn the military down’: Critical Support for Coach Comrade in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Republican senator blocking hundreds of military leadership promotions and nominations has told Fox News that Ukraine cannot win in a war against Russia.

“We’re not getting the point in Washington DC,” Mr Tuberville said. “I haven’t voted for a dime to send Ukraine. I’m for Ukraine. Russia should have never done this.”

“But at the end of the day, it’s a junior high team playing a college team,” he said. “They can’t win. We can throw all the money we want to, but unless we send NATO and our troops over, which we’re not going to do if I’ve got anything to do with it, then there’s no chance.”

Hilarious that the person currently doing more than anyone else to disrupt the National Security state is a dipshit good ol' boy Senator who understands the world through College Football metaphors.

Considering the current climate of anti-semitism, let’s talk about Farrakhan in c/[email protected]

There's a reason why the FBI murdered Fred Hampton but leaves Farrakhan alone.

It's similar to how Bob Avakian was brought all over national television in the 1970s and 80s to represent communists, when someone like Michael Parenti would've been lucky to be interviewed by a small-town newspaper.

The only thing better than silencing all leaders of movements opposing your interests, is silencing all competent leaders of movements opposing your interests while leaving the incompetent and divisive ones untouched.
