Vladimir Putin vs. Volodymyr Zelensky

Let's understand the most important players in Russia's invasion into Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin is described by Newt Gingrich as the Bear while Ukraine's President Zelenskyy is described as the Lion in Gingrich's article. Playing a diminutive role as a supporting actor is Joe Biden. He's characterized as the Bunny Rabbit.

Gingrich opens the article by saying "The best way to understand the current extraordinarily dangerous tragedy in Ukraine is to imagine a fight between a bear, a lion, and a bunny rabbit. The bear of course is Russia, as President Ronald Reagan brilliantly evoked in his 1984 re-election commercial 'The Bear.' As the narrator said: 'There is a bear in the woods. For some people, the bear is easy to see. Others don’t see it at all. Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it’s vicious and dangerous. Since no one can really be sure who’s right, isn’t it smart to be as strong as the bear? If there is a bear.'" This is the extended version of the Reagan ad:

Gingrich continues, saying "We now know the bear is real and it is on the move. Vladimir Putin is a classic example of a strong, ruthless Russian leader. Yet, virtually every analysis of Putin’s motives and actions are wrong, because our supposed experts keep applying Ivy League standards of rationality, timidity, and reasonableness to him. Meanwhile, he reflects none of those values."

It's generally thought that the use of Hitler in conversations is a debate loser. This time, it isn't. It's widely thought that Putin is the 21st Century Hitler. Hitler's paranoia and ruthlessness appear to be part of Putin's personality, too.

The Lion has turned out to be the Ukrainian people and their president. Their courage and willingness to fight and die for their country and freedom has come as an enormous shock to Russia and the Ivy League educated rational leftists who dominate the American national security establishment.

As an example of the complete misunderstanding of the Ukrainian lion’s courage, on Feb. 5, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley said that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine happened. Having been wrong about Ukrainian courage and resistance, Milley is currently being incompetent about getting effective military aid to the Ukrainians.

While Putin is similar to Hitler, Zelensky is similar to Churchill. When Germany started bombing the British, I can't picture Churchill thinking he'd finish on the winning side of WWII. Still, that's what happened. Churchill visited the neighborhoods to remind the people that he was in the fight with them. The British were inspired by Churchill like Ukraine is inspired by Zelensky.

That leads us to the final animal:

The American Eagle apparently flew out of the White House when Biden moved in. It has been said that an army of lions led by a sheep will lose to an army of sheep led by a lion. It is clear from everything the Biden team has done that they are beyond sheep status. The Biden bunny is the only symbol that fits the timidity, confusion, and just plain stupidity which defines the current American policy.

Biden punishes the American oil and gas industry while buying from Russia and subsidizing Putin’s military adventure (far more than any sanctions will cost Putin). Biden refuses to build liquified natural gas ports to help the Europeans quit using Russian natural gas. Biden is refusing to help Ukraine with targeting information, because it might be an escalation (when you watch a nuclear reactor burning and cities being bombed, only a bunny can be worried about escalation). Finally, Biden is relying on the Russian Ambassador in Vienna to get the Iranians to agree to a terrible American collapse on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

It's time for the Biden administration to show toughness instead of just shooting their mouths off. Nothing I've seen is what I'd consider wise. Most of what I've heard from Biden on foreign policy/national security I'd consider foolishness. Think of this: Biden thinks that rednecks in Oklahoma, Georgia and Alabama are dangerous. Despite that, Biden apparently thinks that Iran, Russia and Venezuela are perfect trading partners for oil.

That's the definition of stupidity!

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
