Rep. Eli Crane says the Republican Party should be America First and it makes decisions really simple. When it comes to Ukraine, we shouldn’t be sending tens of millions of dollars to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, escalating a war with Putin who has more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world. If you put America First, it simplifies decisions that may seem complicated. While Biden, McConnell and others may appear to favor escalation into WW3, Crane says we don’t have the leadership necessary to win a war of this magnitude against this adversary. And we don’t have the resources to fund a war when we’re $34 trillion in debt but so many on Capitol Hill have an obsession with Ukraine. Crane says there’s been a patriot purge in the military for some time and it’s why recruitment is down. This isn’t the same military of the past that prepared for readiness. They’re not focused on lethality. They’re now focused on social experiments, DEI and wokeness. While that permeated our culture, it had not reached the military until now. Crane believes the U.S. will be humbled and lose on the battlefield unless we get back to being the baddest military on the planet.
