Puppet Masters
Author and political commentator Michael Brendan Dougherty writes, "Defining Ukraine's sovereignty and integrity as a core security interest of the United States, akin to possession of Massachusetts, is a form of insanity."
As a case in point, Clint Ehrlich has spent a significant amount of time in Russia and the broader region as a geopolitical researcher, making him somewhat a serious expert on the crisis. But his appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight is now causing a collective meltdown among establishment pundits not seen since the height of the Russiagate hysteria in recent years.
Days ago Ehrlich wrote that "The world is perched on the edge of an abyss. We may soon see the worst combat in Europe since WW2 - killing thousands of people, and raising the likelihood of nuclear war. It didn't have to be this way." And on Wednesday he had this to say: "My segment last night on Tucker Carlson is having a bigger impact than I ever imagined. It's causing pro-war pundits and politicians to lose their minds! Let's catalog their meltdowns...
Clint Ehrlich chronicles the avalanche of 'hate mail' he's received in less than 24 hours since his above segment with Fox's Tucker Carlson...
First, the man, the myth, the moron, Bill Kristol: ESPN anchor turned paranoid xenophobe, Keith Olbermann, says we're traitors Four bad takes doesn't make one good one, David French. Rick Wilson writes... this. He thinks "comrade" jokes are clever burns in 2022.Obama's favorite speechwriter says we're on the side of an "entho-nationalist authoritarian." The first part of that claim shows he has zero idea about Russian domestic politics, btw. Clownworld insult. This famous #RussiaGate believer thinks the segment makes Fox News a "hostile foreign propaganda outlet."
The founder of the DailyKos now cheers on war with Russia from the Left!
A sitting Congressman calls Tucker and I "right-wing agitators spewing Russian propaganda."CNN's chief White House correspondent says the segment was orchestrated by Russian intelligence
Congressman who was seduced by a Chinese spy, now vocal about dangers of foreign influence!
Will anyone have the courage to call you out for being a twit, Joe Walsh?
This #resistance "fact checker" somehow ties my segment to .... January 6? How? Why?
Not relevant, since these aren't serious claims, just casual insults.This lawyer with a big following wants Tucker to be prosecuted as an unregistered foreign agent! Academic specializing in propaganda... hallucinates seeing propaganda. Shocking.
Film critic wants Tucker arrested for being an agent of a hostile foreign power. You can't make this stuff up. Jonah Goldberg claims Ukraine would not be under U.S. military control if it joined NATO.
Apparently has no idea how NATO's command structure works.
DailyBeast columnist says my segment will be "all over Russian TV."
This is... actually true. But Russian TV shows American stories about Russia whether the takes are positive or negative.
Being #NeverTrump now means anyone you disagree with is in league with Putin
HhmmmmmEx-GOPer thinks being against war with Russia means we want to make America like Russia.
Totally logical conclusion...!
Natsec lawyer claims the segment "dusted off Soviet talking points."
CNN contributor doesn't have a good enough burn about Putin, so she throws in vaccines.
"Ebola expert" offers her takes on foreign policy. Results make you question her medical judgment.
Reminder: The people who want to censor Tucker and me are the ones trying to make America MORE like Soviet Russia.
More "comrade" jokes from these people. The 1980s called, they want their humor back.
I'm sure this joke sounded better in your head.
Because it sure seems like everyone in this thread is on the same page...
Who's controlling your teleprompter? Wow, I missed the craziest part of this tweet:

Not interesting in seeing he US get pulled into another endless conflict. Doesn't mean we shouldn't protect out interests but Ukraine is in Europe not on our border in South America. Why can't Germany, France, Switzerland take the lead for a change.
All of the money spent on defense and I see all of these articles on how Russia and China have better hypersonic technology and even NK is lauching missiles with it. We spend more on defense than any other country so we obviously have done something wrong.
Anyone who is cautious in their approach to Russia and foreign policy is automatically branded a traitor, stupid, etc. Look at the mess in Afghanstan and how much we spent, cost to our service men and women and how we left it. Can't we at least have some serious disussion about this as adults without rushing into another engagement. We still have millitary in Germany, South Korea, Japan etc. last thing we need is knee jerk reaction and headlong rush into another military confrontation.
I had people telling me that they wouldn't vote for Trump as he would get us into another war. Now dear leader Biden is going to dementia us into another one.
Today, NGOs in Armenia have a significant impact on foreign and domestic policy and one of the largest organizations, the Soros Foundation, and its activists continue their destructive activities and destroy the republic's state system .
The Soros Foundation has been operating since the late 1990s and finances the work of almost all NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in Armenia. During its existence, it has supported more than 200 different organizations in implementing programs to protect women's rights, prevent domestic violence, etc. However, in reality, this foundation, whose head office is located in the capital of Armenia - Yerevan, pursues political goals.
Today, foreign NGOs act as the "press service" of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, destroy critics of the current Armenian authorities and also have a significant impact on the direction of domestic and foreign policy, incite anti-state sentiments among the population.
Another organization, the Asparez Journalistic Club, is one of the most important partners of the Soros Foundation. The main sponsors of the club are the American and British embassies, the European Union and some Western NGOs. For the period from 2017 to 2018 alone, Asparez received 120,000 US dollars.
There is another major NGO, the Sasna Tsrer group, which was officially registered as a political party after Nikol Pashinyan came to power. It positions itself as a military-patriotic force, constantly conducts anti-Russian propaganda and calls on the authorities to withdraw the republic from the CSTO and the EAEU. The consequences of this policy for Armenia need no explanation.
Indeed, US and EU-funded NGOs in Armenia are engaged in anti-state activities and actively promote anti-Russian sentiments, presenting Russia as the main culprit of the crisis in the country. Such organizations destroy the traditional views and foundations of Armenia, forcefully impose Western views and thinking, as a fact - they destroy the republic as a sovereign unit.
One of the methods of countering such organizations is the adoption of a law on foreign agents who are located in one country and work in the interest of another.

Because the response by MSM was so vehement, maybe the Ukraine is the "great narrative" that Klaus has stated is required to continue the totalitarian process. They are sure PROMOTING WAR with those dastardly Russians and Russian agents. It is Theater.
Re this cunt: All Chalupas should only ever be seen at a Taco Bell.
