Douglas MacGregor, nominated by Trump as ambassador to Germany; appointed by Trump as sr advisor to the Secretary of Defense, says Russian forces have been too gentle and I dont see anything heroic about Zelensky.
This is the Putin wing of the GOP.

(25,952 posts)I'm not looking forward to the day when she aims at the Democratic Party again, but for now, almost everything she says and does is "country first" and spot on. It is admirable.

In 2012, he claimed there was evidence that conflict with Japan was engineered to end the Great Depression.
"People were not terribly happy about having to fight the second [war]. There was certainly no support for fighting the Germans during the Second World War. There was obviously for fighting the Japanese because Japan made the serious mistake of attacking us, but there was, there was great reluctance to be involved in these wars," Macgregor said.
"And again, as you know, some would argue -- and there's substantial evidence for it -- that the only way to extricate ourselves from the terrible depression was to bring on this conflict with Japan, which was made inevitable when we embargoed them," he added. "That may well have been the case"

So his "Humanitarian Medal" is a sham!
