  • Vladimir Putin: Ukraine Wouldn’t Last a Week Without U.S. Aid

    Occidental Dissent - Oct 6th 2023 4:43pm EDT

    First, you should check out David French’s take on the war in Ukraine to get a sense of what the morons now calling for tens of billions of more funding for Ukraine have been saying about its counteroffensive.

  • Breaking Points: Will Republicans Trigger a Government Shutdown Over Ukraine Aid?

    Occidental Dissent - Sep 19th 2023 2:57pm EDT

    The long term has arrived. It is September which means it is time to fund the government again. As I expected, public opinion has swung against further Ukraine aid on the Right. MAGA Republicans now control the House. Zelensky has arrived in Washington to beg for more funding after his failed counter offensive. Note: It […]

    Occidental Dissent - Jul 24th 2023 2:10pm EDT

    Incredible speech by @PM_ViktorOrban in Tusvanyos. No Western politicians speaks with such intelligence and insight. Terribly worrying, his forecast of coming war between China and the US.

  • Axios: The GOP’s Stunning Realignment on Foreign Policy

    Occidental Dissent - Mar 15th 2023 10:19am EDT

    This is good news. At least in rhetoric, Trump and Ron DeSantis are feeling the chilling effect of political gravity as Republican voters sour on Standing With Ukraine.

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 20th 2023 12:52pm EST

    This is good news. By chiming in on the importance of Standing With Ukraine, David French will only ensure that support for it will continue to plummet on the Right simply by being associated with him. New York Times: “As we approach the first anniversary of Russia’s brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, two ominous […]

  • Poll Watch: Most Republican Voters Now Oppose “Providing More Funding and Weapons To Ukraine”

    Occidental Dissent - Feb 7th 2023 2:33pm EST

    As I pointed out on Gab, Republican politicians have always tried to screw over their own voters by pushing unpopular legislation like all the amnesties for illegal aliens or most recently the gay marriage bill. Public opinion is a ceiling on how far they can go with this though. We never got comprehensive immigration reform […]
