    Daniel L. Davis >> Defense Priorities Foundation >> Rand Paul, Charles Koch, David Koch

    • Rand Paul withholds Ukranian aid and supports the 3 times indicted former president while withholding disaster aid to other states and then waning it for his own state when they have a disaster.
    • The Koch brothers and their business are still unapologetically active in Russia.

    Davis was right in his early criticism of the war in Afghanistan, but I can’t help to wonder if the report wasn’t more “if you don’t take off the kids gloves we won’t be able to actually win.” type of report.

      Pro-Russia propaganda then. Funny how America’s right has embraced the west’s greatest enemy. When I was a kid I was told the reason communism was bad was because it was tyrannical to those living under it, Russia is still tyrannical but capitalist and now they’re totally on board. In hindsight, it was never about the tyranny. It was about profit.

          A theoretical potential that has unfortunately never panned out. Similar to the glorification of capitalism by some people should stop pointing to a theoretical communist Utopia that will never be, it’s the same lunacy.
