Once More, The GOP Is Implicitly Complicit In Foreign Interference Into Our Elections

Back in 2015/2016, the GOP controlled Congress, invited, on more than one occasion, Netanyahu to bash President Obama, and project an image of a weak President.

In addition, the Saudis and other Golf countries, spent handsomely on bolstering the Trump campaign, and giving him OR coverage.

The Saudis, Golf countries and Netanyahu, had a common goal: get back at President Obama, over the Iran nuke deal, and cutting "offensive" weapons flow to the Saudi-led coalition that was bombing Yemen.

It worked, and the Saudis got what they wanted.

President Biden wanted to hold MBS responsible for the murder of Khashoggi. The Saudis decided to cozy up to Putin, and said that they don't give a shit if the US does not supply weapons, as they can get all the "advanced" weapons they want from Putin. India also snubbed the Biden administration, when Modi had a friendly relationship with Trump.

When the Putin assault on the Ukraine began, China, India and Saudi, backed him up, thinking the whole thing would take a couple of days.

Several months later, the Saudis backed the Putin play, and affected a 2 million barrels per day oil production cut, effectively bolstering Putin's position, and allowing him to generate more money to shore up his collapsing economy, and continue his assault on the Ukraine.

But, did the Saudis, and India make the biggest strategic mistake of their existence? Certainly they can see for themselves, that the weapons produced by Russia, and Russia's military expertise, are worth shit.

That's a side issue though, as the main issue here, is how the GOP, is jizing over high gasoline prices, and using Putin's war, to manipulate the midterm elections. I suppose it works out well for them, as if they gain power, it will be via the MAGA candidates, and that's going to be a Putin-friendly Congress.

Vote, and vote early. It's not only about US politics any longer.

Politics is getting more complicated and scary by the day….

India was forced to help putin coz when it had asked Biden for help, Biden sided with Afghanistan n Pakistan. That’s when russia helped India…so initially India felt obligated to help russia… (amongst other things).

I wish it wasn’t like that though…

@LvChris I am a Modi supporter and just like Biden is good for US, Modi is good for India…he's the reason for Indian progress and the anti-corruption trends there. Otherwise even after the corrupt Congress ruling for 60 yrs, India wouldn’t be where it is today.

Today we can clearly see how the KGB had manipulated and controlled Indian politics for so long (Tashkent files, etc) until Modi took over.

Muslims in India are a part of India. Outsiders (neighboring muslims) come and create havoc and try to create a rift between the Indian muslims n hindus.

Lolz….one such public meeting where a pakistani muslim criticized the Indian system, one of the Indian muslim from the crowd, told him to go back to PKistN… he said the Indian muslims are happy and feel safe as Indian citizens. And that he shouldn’t try to poison their mindz and go back to pak.

@LvChris This is like listening to faux news. Dude, you seriously need to read the story from A to Z. Looking at the picture from M- P will always look incomplete and twisted.

@LvChris Dude…I’m just showing you the whole picture.

It’s like someone had spoken bout the situation in PoK…but when I told them to look up Kashmiri pundits, to see the whole pic, then they understood.

I don't know how Biden sided with Afghanistan. Biden does not want anything to do with Afghanistan.

Last month though, the US to agreed to modernize Pakistan's F-16 fleet's avionics. Over the past 50 years, the US policy has been to make sure Pakistan has an air advantage. On the surface, it's to keep Pakistan in the anti-terror group. In reality, the US strategy, aims to prevent a war between India and Pakistan, by making sure neither country has a military advantage.

It's not that the US is too naive to realize that Pakistan's idea of fighting terror, is to put a stop payment, on the checks they write terrorist organizations. The ISS is infiltrated to the core by Islamists.

The US strategy has always been to deny India advanced aircraft, for fear of an Indian attack on Pakistan, and not just over the disputed regions, but over the ISS's meddling with India's Muslims, whose number is almost equal to the population of Pakistan.

I believe that if the US has not done that, we would have a major war between India and Pakistan, as neither of them wants to use nukes, so Pakistan's theoretical air power advantage, helps maintain peace. India thinks it can get the upper hand, by courting Russia, but even in the short term, a global recession, will hurt India the most. Saudi Arabia does not care, they're not going to starve.
Yup…I understand. That is why I feel things are getting too complicated.

Terrorism should be opposed and not supported. Idk why and when these wars over borders will end tbh. Islamists all over the world should calm down and talk progressively of peace, agriculture, and ending conflicts. @Northwest

They are a minority, in the world of Islam, but Pakistan, with major funding from Saudi Arabia, keeps the Madrasa system alive and well, and exports it to places devastated by International chess, like Afghanistan.
@Northwest Yes…and not just to Afghanistan.
