Tom Cotton just can't shut the (bleep) up...

Now he wants a war with Russia.

'Tehran Tom' Cotton Wants Biden To Declare War On Russia

Never one for diplomacy, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton was disappointed that Biden didn't threaten to shut down Russian oil and gas operations or other enterprises.

Senator 'Tehran Tom' Cotton appeared on Fox News after President Biden's press conference in Geneva to do his usual war hawk jig.

Biden's press conference was a strong showing of his command on the issues at hand as well as his question-and-answer period, Biden didn't go far enough for Cotton's liking.

Sen. Cotton said that Putin only cares about power.

"Joe Biden could've said if the attacks continue maybe Russia's oil and gas plants are going to go down. Maybe their electrical grid is gonna go down," he complained.

Spoken like a true warmonger.

How would Cotton know that he didn't threaten reprisal?
He's got no right, or inside track, to know the details.
Unless of course, Putin's aide put in a call to one of his boys in the Senate and filled him in.
Which is it, Tommie Boy?
You know nothing or you're a Russian asset?

They were saying Biden was going to get us into a war with Russia before the elections. Now they want us to get into a war with them. They need to make up their damn minds.

And the converse is true of any RePuQ's handling thereof.

That is their position on everything, actually.

There is no logic, no deeply-held values, no integrity, no patriotism, nothing meaningful to anything they 'believe', apart from "Libs/Dems Bad".

that kind of demand. And it is weird since they are the U.S. group most alined with Putin and seeking the same kind of, "freedom," the Russian oligarchshave over the population. Unregulated labor and environment, taxes only for the middle and working and poorest classes.
