| Ann Coulter: LTC Vindman - He's a One-Man Ukrainian Lobby! | |
| 2019-10-31 | |
| BLUF: [Coulter at Breitbart] It would be bad enough if Col. Vindman’s policy disagreement with the president had to do with U.S. policy on Mexico or North Korea. But it was about the country where Col. Vindman was born. We’re always told that Democrats don’t have to prove wrongdoing by Trump ‐ for example, under the emoluments clause, in his foreign policy negotiations, or when he fired his FBI director. Rather, it’s claimed that Trump’s conduct creates the appearance of impropriety. Well, having a Ukrainian-born analyst butt in to ensure U.S. foreign aid flows effortlessly to the country of his birth gives the appearance that he’s concerned about fairness to Ukraine. That’s not what this is supposed to be about. It’s supposed to be about what’s in the best interests of the United States. Worse, Vindman was dealing with the U.S.’s Ukrainian policy versus Russia, which Ukrainians hate because Stalin murdered millions of them. It’s like having an Armenian advise on whether we should be hostile to Turkey.
But when you were actually born in another country and that’s the precise policy matter you’re sticking your nose into, people are going to wonder if it’s really our national interests you’re looking out for. | |

| #5 Our g(r)om nailed it with #2. "I'd guess if you checked the brave colonel's bank accounts you could find some amazing things." Vindman's placement and access (P&A) and previous overseas assignments (exposure) make him an absolutely ideal candidate or target for foreign recruitment. I cannot for a moment believe he was simply overlooked by what was previously referred to as Hostile Intelligence Services (HOIS). Now simply referred to as Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS). Someone needs to do a 'deep dive' on this POS and prove me wrong. Please include his well placed twin brother. * Obviously, 'HOIS' would include, but not be limited to the Klingons. |

| #2 Because, at the time, Lex somebody around 0 had a brilliant idea "Lets replace Ukrainian pro-Russian government with one that will deny the use of Crimea to Russians. Thus, stopping Russian involvement in Syria. An involvement that makes fun of the red lines the great O proclaimed!" Of course, Vlad - not being a graduate of Harvard but of KGB academy - just grabbed Crimea. And left to USA the joy of financing Ukraine with the usual kickbacks. I'd guess if you checked the brave colonel's bank accounts you could find some amazing things. |

| #1 Ukraine = toxic waste dump. Why the fook are our idiot elites tying our fate to Ukraine? What on earth do we care about this sinkhole of corruption, this shithole's shithole, this Nigeria North? Why are our cretin-elites provoking Russia in her backyard? For what? For Ukraine? More to Rich: "Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world [Matt. 16:26]. But for Wales?” |
