The fog of war is thick.

As for Ukraine's ultimate demise, the actions of those in military leadership positions leave us with more questions than answers. Misinformation is a continual drip and propaganda is flourishing. So what are any of us to believe? The only thing I can see is that we are flirting with the very real possibility of this ridiculous conflict evolving into a worldwide cataclysmic horror show.

All it takes is one miscalculation and millions of lives would perish.

Wake up folks....secure your own borders and stop funding no-win wars on the other side of the globe.

I could not agree more. Russia could erase the US from the geopolitical map of the world so why are we provoking them to do so when we should be partnering with Russia to counter Chinese economic hegemony?

On a side note: Kudos to Vivek. What a brilliant showing on tonight's debate stage! Truly any one of these candidates would have dominated Biden on every topic. The world can not take another four years of US decline. Please wake up America....we need you back!

Yes Vivek won the debate tonight hands down especially on the Ukraine war issue where 71% of Republicans stand with him!

We heard after Prigozin dissed Putin, he was having a tough time acquiring life insurance.

Yes I think the multi-million dollar a month premium may have been too much for even an oligarch like him lol.

He did not diss Putin! He called for the firing of Shoigu and Gerasimov, who were giving Wagner only ~30% of the ammunition they needed at Bakhmut. And who deserves the blame for giving Putin incorrect information about the competence of the Russian military and the determination and effectiveness of the Ukrainian soldiers, not to mention their determination to fight for their country. Surely Shoigu and Gerasimov are those whose business it was to know those things and who screwed up big time. Prigozhin got way out over his skis in thinking he could get those two fired, however. Even if Putin agreed with him secretly he was forced to back them up so as not to make it look like Prigozhin had suceeded, which might encourage others to attempt more destructive mutinies that might have in fact been against Putin. Progozhin died (if he did die) loyal to Putin to the end.

I also am looking forward to seeing how Vivek fares against the likes of Nikki on foreign affairs issues. His positions are clear and I truly appreciate his straightforward approach.

Better yet, I'd LOVE to see Vivek in a debate with Biden.

Get out the popcorn...

If Vivek debated Biden, it would be hilarious and his GOP support would quadruple overnight.

Mike Pence R-Ukraine? WTF??

As his Tucker interview proved last month Mike Pence said the plight of US cities facing massive crime is not his concern. He only cares about defending Ukrainians not Americans.

As usual, you nailed it David Pyne.

It's time for Pence to start enjoying his retirement. I think he looked desperate tonight.

He told Tucker the suffering of Americans were not his concern but Ukrainians were so to me that means he is running as Ukraines choice for President since he puts Ukraine first and America last.

America last indeed. I hope everyone remembers those words come voting day.

Biden has lost the will of the American people in my opinion. One needn't look too far in any North American City these days to see the surging rise in violent crime and degradation of societal values. The whole world is watching Western civilization crumble before them without even having to go to war. We are doing a great job destroying our way of freedom and liberty. And without border security, any nation will fall. Seems like a basic concept.

Just how much more suffering must the American people endure and put up with before they oust Biden and Company?

In God I trust...Biden, not so much.

Ironically, although Democrats will swear up and down they are team Ukraine like Nikki Haley and Christie did tonight, they are not enthusiatic about Biden, despite the fact that his domestic policies are classic Democrat all the way. I think that those who have been following the war in Ukraine closely are filled with increasing horror and deep down know that Biden should not have armed Ukraine, but instead insisted that Zelensky accept a ride out of the country. He would have done had he not been assured that he would get munitions etc from the US and UK. Biden's low poll numbers began with Afghanistan and then have not recovered but continue to get worse the longer the war goes on.

Embarrassing is the only word that comes to mind. Although incompetent is right up there as well.
