Our side is supposed to be intelligent - the right depends on unintelligence. So I think our lefty morons are dumber. They're certainly more embarassing.

How about someone with fact-checking skills better than mine rebut some of the claims made. Is Ukraine aid really a big chunk of the Pentagon budget? Did we officially promise NATO would not expand eastward? Was it our call to make unilaterally? Are there examples of NATO threatening to force membership on unwilling countries?
We have plenty of misdeeds to our discredit as a nation, but I canтАЩt see how we caused Putin to do what he is doing.
I fail to see how one nation could make a promise on behalf of a group of nations (North Atlantic Treaty Oganization) that binds all the other members to that promise without any of them knowing, agreeing, or acknowledging it.
if you want to know exactly what their arguments are, check out the three big Mearsheimer YouTube videos. I remember they were all a little more than an hour or so each. I don't entirely buy what he's saying, but at least he lays out his arguments there. I haven't checked anything he's written (or said)in the last year. I suppose I should, but it's a grim task.
more embarrassing, definitely. I don't know if I'm quite prepared (at least not YET) to accept "dumber." the bar on the other side is just sooooo low...

They're doing the Rs job for them - its a shame.

An old rumor, expediently recycled. I call BS.
The rumor I heard was that Sec. of State James Baker promised that without being authorized to say it.
Ah, Jimmy B like Ronnie Reagan, he was a grade тАШbтАЩ actor! Sec State under papa Bush, Jimmy looked important but was impotent as a diplomat!
