    “Biden’s strategy is very simple:1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.”

  3. This article is worth some consideration, even if only to understand this side of the issue a little better.

    ~~~ “Waves of isolationism in the United States are nothing new. Our favorable geography includes borders with two friendly countries and two expansive oceans, so many of the world’s problems ignite on distant shores. We managed to steer clear of the Second World War for two years while Nazi Germany invaded much of Europe and Imperial Japan spread terror in China.

    It took the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the loss of 2,403 American lives to create a seismic shift in public opinion and bring the United States into the war.

    Matthew Continetti is the director of domestic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and author of The Right: The Hundred Year War for American Conservatism. He said the United States often ignores overseas threats until Americans are killed at home, citing World War II and the 9/11 terrorist attacks as examples. “So the problem is that we always wait until it’s too late, and then only when Americans are dead do we actually resolve to ­confront the evildoer,” Continetti said.

    Thune agrees: “Inevitably, what happens, as we saw in World War II, is it spills further out and pretty soon you’re going to be drawn in one way or the other.” He believes a Russian victory in Ukraine would embolden Moscow to move on to its next prize: Poland or one of the Baltic ­countries—all NATO allies. “We would have an Article 5 obligation to join that fight, and that means American ­servicemen and women,” Thune said.

    . . .

    But even for isolationists who view the Ukrainian cause as noble and Kyiv as trustworthy, some claim Russia’s war has little to do with American interests. As conservative support shifts away from Ukraine’s war to Israel’s, Continetti issues a word of caution: These two wars are connected, and Iran is one of the links.

    Iran is supplying weapons to Russia and Hamas that are being used to kill both Ukrainians and Israelis. “Putin’s ­alliance with Iran has led to him making comments that are, if not outright supportive of Hamas, then definitely along the lines of ‘somehow Israel had it coming’ on Oct. 7,” Continetti said. Many Republicans, he added, don’t want to acknowledge this connection.” ~~~
