Iraq didn't work.

The global financial crisis didn't work.

People are justifiably angry about the Bush Republican legacy.

And so that Trump and his allies need to cook up something new and keeping people like Gabbard in the fold, I think is absolutely crucial.

Yeah, Bush let UBL go.

Look at the Afghan papers that have been declassified.

But anyways, it's the American Conservative magazine founded in 2002 by Patrick J. Buchanan and others against the Iraq war, conservatives and friends against the Iraq war.

It is at www.theamericanconservative.com.

And my own work is at Kurt Mills, at C-U-R-T-M-I-L-L-S on X. I'm the executive director of our fine little magazine.

Thank you.

Yeah, still reeling from agreeing so much with Fred Fleitz on Ukraine.

That's not just anybody you had there.

He was, of course, John Bolton's former chief of staff and this sort of wartime consigliere to General Keith Kellogg, who, of course, remains a special envoy on this whole theater.

So if that kind of thinking is ascended among the Hawk camp, that's pretty encouraging.

I think that the Tomahawk idea needs to be totally ruled out.

Something that you haven't mentioned on this show is that

President Putin, the czar, had his big party this week, which was the Valdai Club meeting in Russia.

And he made it pretty clear, and this is the sort of language that I think people from Russia have been saying both overtly and behind the scenes, that they're done with the Europeans.

They see themselves as a civilization apart.

They see themselves as doing something different from the, quote, West.
