On CTH --- Douglas MacGregor discusses status of Ukraine War



Discussion of Ukraine War



There hasn't been much posting here on that war other than this: I have been opposed to our involvement from Day One.

Who's winning? Who's losing? Who cares? It isn't any of our affair, or shouldn't have been. But now it is...

The information here is in conflict with the usual thing coming from ... who? It so happens that this involvement has been supported on the supposedly conservative side. This to me has always been dismaying. It has always been my habit of referring to "conservatives" as supposedly conservative. I just don't think that there are that many true conservatives anymore, as I would think of the term...

To define conservatism properly, you have to go back to the founding principles of the country. These have been violated time and time again. It is almost impossible to find anyone who actually follows these principles now.

Maybe Trump isn't one, but he did at least talk a bit on the conservative side when he discussed his philosophy on picking judges who would interpret the Constitution "as written". I don't think that this is actually how it has turned out as far as judges have acted, but at least it was a step in the right direction.

There still won't be any comment about who's winning or losing except for this: "We the People" have been losing for a long time now. This is one of many examples WHY. Instead of free discussion of the events of the day, we now have full blown tyrannical censorship. This was unthinkable once upon a time in the "land of the free, home of the brave".

The politics of shut up tried to shut up CTH, if anyone recalls. Not only CTH, but many others WERE. There are some ugly truths that these "leaders" do not want getting discussed. This war is no doubt another one of those truths. In fact, we shouldn't have had anything to do with it in the first place.
