With congress apparently preparing to approve another $91 billion of debt-funded aid to foreign countries fighting foreign wars, $60 billion of which would go to continue the US/NATO proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, Ohio’s JD Vance laid out some very wise words on the floor of the Senate Monday:
Here’s the full text:
"So many times in the last many decades have we been asked to listen to the experts. And yet we never actually ask what the track record of those experts is in matters of foreign policy. The experts, the bipartisan consensus, of course, got us into Vietnam, a war that lasted nearly 15 years, that saw the destruction of nearly 60,000 American lives. And for what?
"It was the bipartisan foreign policy consensus, the experts, that got us into a 20 year war in Afghanistan, where American taxpayers, for two decades, funded things like how to turn Afghanistan into a flowering democracy, or how to ensure that the Afghans had proper American thoughts about gender in the 21st century. Well, maybe that was a waste of money, and maybe the experts were wrong.
"Those same experts, of course, counseled us that we must invade Iraq because Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, and yet, Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. And the war led not only to the destruction of 5,000 American lives and many, many hundreds of thousands of innocent people beyond that, but also led to the regional empowerment of Iran, which now we are told by those same experts, is the biggest problem that we face in the Middle East.
"Now, those experts have a new crusade. Now those experts have a new thing that American taxpayers must fund and must fund indefinitely. And it is called the conflict in Ukraine."
[End]
Remember these wise words when the Ukraine situation inevitably ends in great tragedy.
That is all.
I like Sen. Vance. He seems to possess something sorely lacking in much of Congress... common sense.
That, "check the experts track record" isn't just for foreign policy. It's be nice if folks would do so for all the climate and energy policy "experts" out there. They're following a plan laid out by WEF, run by a guy who is an old Club of Rome apparatchik, and the Club of Rome has never been right about anything, ever.
