I cannot find many of my conservative friends that support going to war to support Ukraine. Most of my liberal friends want the US to do more including a non-fly zone and sending ground troops in if it escalates.
Just wondering out loud here... is a neocon the same as a never-Trumper?
I posted my video / Substack called Manufacturing Contempt on "scorning the unvaxxed and disdaining the war-hesitant. I take a close look at a July 2020 study on 'persuasive messaging' for a vaccine not yet released on what messages induce a person to get vaccinated, to pressure friends and family, and to scorn those who don’t. I question if persuasive messaging on Ukraine has been similarly tested, quoting Matt Taibbi's article, Give War a Chance."
The US did not make an effort to "bomb Vietnam back to the Stone Age." Wikipedia has an article with sources about this issue:
'LeMay advocated a sustained strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnamese cities, harbors, ports, shipping, and other strategic targets. His advice was ignored. Instead, an incremental policy was implemented that focused on limited interdiction bombing of fluid enemy supply corridors in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This limited campaign failed to destroy significant quantities of enemy war supplies or diminish enemy ambitions. Bombing limitations were imposed by President Lyndon Johnson for geopolitical reasons, as he surmised that bombing Soviet and Chinese ships in port and killing Soviet advisers would bring the Soviets and Chinese more directly into the war.
In his 1965 autobiography (co-written with MacKinlay Kantor), LeMay is quoted as saying his response to North Vietnam would be to demand that "they've got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or we're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age. And we would shove them back into the Stone Age with Air power or Naval power—not with ground forces".[48] LeMay subsequently rejected misquotes of the famous "Stone Age" quote.[49] Later, in a Washington Post interview LeMay said that "I never said we should bomb them back to the Stone Age. I said we had the capability to do it. I want to save lives on both sides".[50] Etymologyst Barry Popik cites multiple sources (including interviews with LeMay) for various versions of both quotes from LeMay.[51] Nevertheless, the "should" quote remained part of the LeMay legend, and remains widely attributed to him ever after.[49][52]'
Thanks Matt. Nod to those observing Ramadan, Passover tomorrow & Easter right in the middle or none of the above! You still cannot discount our current Generals having been on the Board of Directors of Raytheon. Appreciate posting, as usual!

You should learn a little more about PNAC and the physics of the three 9/11 buildings
Clearly the only proper relationship to the MSM is to keep it totally out of your life.
