What an odd thread.
I am unable to speak for the Republicans in the House. But I can offer a glimmer of some insight.
First a quick disclaimer: I loathe Putin. Hope he dies. I wish a Russian General would assassinate that bastard for the good of all the world.
Second disclaimer: I don’t speak for all conservatives, either. In fact, I have (at another Board) had disagreements with some of them. My thinking is conflicted on this issue and a bit in flux, but I still maintain that Putin initiated the conflict and waged war against the civilian population of Ukraine. And he should be denied any shred of reward.
That said: many Republicans see Biden as utterly reckless. He isn’t merely a demented old man controlled by others. (But he is that, too.) His willingness to spend American money and materiel for the benefit of Ukraine also puts America on a flight path towards introducing our troops over there. The general objection is not merely “isolationism.” Instead, as I understand it, the objection is that we have a national obligation to only assist other nations when it also serves our national interest.
If I have sussed out that much correctly, so far, then my guess is that many conservatives fail to see how or why what Russia does to Ukraine is much of our concern.
Thank you for your concise and convincing analysis that conservatives are more demented and easily led by others than Mr Biden. There is no rational reason to think aid to Ukraine is a slippery slope to US troops there.
What an absurd thing for you to have said.
To the extent that some conservatives are concerned about how me act often leads to another one, that observation is absolutely spot on. If you are among those who don’t worry about how irresponsible Biden is, then you haven’t been paying attention to his record. Not just the fact that he can’t keep a thought in his feeble head which is a worrying sign in and of itself. But his actions and his inactions. They prove that he is utterly inept.
When it comes to decisions which involve us in other nations’ wars, the problems with Biden’s defective brain become more concerning. You try to dismiss it as a mere “slippery slope” claim. But that’s only because you refuse to contemplate the reactions of those other nations to our behavior.
