“If you read the Russian playbook, we’re falling right into their hands.”
“My name is David, I live in Union County, Indiana, I am a strong social conservative and consider myself a Republican.
“People have to understand that Russia is not our friend. They’re not our competitor. They are our adversary. We have to come to terms with that, and it’s extremely frustrating because if you read the Russian playbook, we’re falling right into their hands about exactly how they run the world.
“I agree with all the talking points about defending democracy across the globe and how tyrants and autocrats, North Korea, et cetera, China, will take it if we don’t support Ukraine and if Russia ends up winning. Those are all valid points but my take on it is more direct, more personal.
“I was with the group that was in Ukraine before the war started in Yavoriv training center. We got the order from Secretary Austin to evacuate. They evacuated us to Grafenwöhr before the war started, and then the war started. Then once we were in Grafenwöhr around Easter, we restarted the process of training Ukrainians once it was decided that the US was gonna support them and give them weapons, et cetera. This was our patch, maybe you had a joint multinational training group Ukraine, J-M-T-G-U.
“Here’s what I want people to know, who are skeptical about continuing to support Ukraine in this fight: they’re fighters. They’re loyal. They absolutely love America. They love the idea of freedom. They don’t care about Hunter Biden. They don’t care about random politics. They care about their survival. They care about having a free country, and they look up to us all the time as what they want to be like.”
