@@dorianshadesofgray2981 Ukraine is the US's front line of defense of democracy. NATO is the first line of UNITED STATES' defense against historically-imperialist Russia. LEARN THE HISTORY instead of swallowing Trump's anti-Americanism as if it were substantive. It is NOT FACTUAL.
The Germans living under the Weimar Republic were drowning in out-of-control inflation and sending huge parts of their income to pay reparations for WWI. They were desperate people who were willing to cling to absurd ideas, (as desperate people do). The average American enjoys an income that is significantly higher than most of the developed world. We enjoy the most diverse economy that has ever existed, the world's currency, the best universities... (list goes on). But the media have convinced the average American that they have it rough, that they are the ones suffering and that the only thing standing between them and the happiness that they deserve is the political opposition. They don't know true desperation, but they make choices as if they do.
If you had paid attention in history class, you would already have known that answer. The Weimar Republic was a failed state after WWI. People were burning pallets of money to keep warm because the wood was worth a lot more than the money was. In the midst of this chaos, a small group promised to make things better. Their leader managed to blackmail the dying elected President of the republic into appointing him Chancellor, and from that bully pulpit he was able to convince a lot of people that everything would be fine if it weren't for one particular group of people, and that by sanctioning, locking up, and ultimately eliminating these people, the government would thrive.
Same here in Germany & Europe and maybe even worse all over the world. Hope/ love and little prayers and learning learning learning the same all over. Much love and best wishes and ps. we believe in you!@@myedoxx
I don't agree with Romney's republican policies and certainly he's just another politician looking out for wealthy interests above nearly all else, but there's no doubt he's a FAR more intelligent guy than a lot of the other republicans on the national stage.
You want more politicians from oven hands mitt? He will endorse Trump by the end of the race. I just wonder how many more boots he will keep licking to stay relevant.
Reminder that Mitt Romney v. Obama were the last rational/sane presidential debates this country has seen...and those happened 12 years ago. "Good evening Mr. President, I just wanted to congratulate you on such a happy occasion (wedding anniversary), and what a joy it is that you get to spend such a beautiful occasion...here with me! :)" -Romney to Obama, 2012
Were people actually annoyed by that? Pretty sure the message was well-intentioned, but it just came off super creepy by how he said it. Everyone I knew just though it was funny.
I remember feeling like it was evidence of his tone deafness. He said things like women (rather than parents) needed flexibility in the workplace so they could be home for when kids got home from school to make dinner. Obviously his right of center, Mormon background influences his worldview, and I did find myself taken aback by how antiquated he sounded when talking about women. But in retrospect, I mean, it's not even comparable to where we've landed in 2024. Makes me feel pretty darn niave to have gotten wrapped out in the outrage of 2012. @@pwslattery

America is a weak and feeble nation. People on social media, Tik Tok, just exacerbates the situation. I would not put our Gen Z or millennials into battle. Many are too weak and feeble, and hate the United States of America.
The fact that gop voters don’t understand 1) we promised Ukraine in 1994 to protect them if they don’t develop a nuclear program 2) we are sending US made weapons and not cash to Ukraine, is really sad.
I wouldn't have a problem w/ the weapons and military equipment if it weren't for the recent bungling in Afghanistan and our historical habit of leaving our equipment behind to be seized by unsavory elements.

Voting is the only way to change directions within and outside our party. Half of the population in America votes. And lower turnout, less than 7 percent voted in primaries of those registered. No one to blame but ourselves
Voting is not the only way to make changes. Organizing labor and communities to claw back some power from the owner class is arguably a much more effective way to make change. If voting is your primary means of changing the world, I would consider your participation in democracy to be quite inadequate.
@@DralhaEureka It is inadequate. Just the way I like it. I do not want to wake up every day and think about how I can screw the other guy politically. And I'm a happy camper.
No, the money is fed back to the industrial military complex (a subsidized industry that create few jobs for the volume of money that moves) . The tax payers pay and the money is fed back to the people that make money in a war that as Romney says can not been completely won because the goal is to "send a message" with thousand of lifes lost and the Hedge funds making money purchasing land in Ukraine at the time the European farmer is in bankruptcy because of disloyal competition.

Romney is a true Republican. I used to disagree a lot with him on policy issues. But in these days, he's one of a few sane voices left in that party. It's kind of sad that he wasn't their nominee back in 2016. He's indeed a man of good character.
There's a lot I don't like about Romney, but I can't argue that he's speaking in very clear and easy to understand words here, without pulling punches. This is very well said. I vehemently disagree with much of his domestic policy, but his words on foreign policy and character are spot on, and I'm glad someone is saying this and saying it clearly, honestly better than most democrats at the moment
At some point just forget the stuff you don't like and just support him. None of that shit matters anymore. Policy nuances don't fucking matter right now, when democracy itself is not in danger you can go back to worrying about that. Until then, Romney is a hero, full stop.
@@snakebarber Nothing to supportm and if he runs as a Republican for president, he will be lending whatever good will he's gained to that treasonous, terrorist party and thus is complicit in everything MAGA is responsible for. Remember, policies and politics from Romney and the rest created MAGA. Thry don't get to wash their hands of the mess they made just because it went farther than was convenient for them. If he runs as an independent, I'll happily let him leech votes from Republicans while voting Democrat
I am glad he's gone. He is clueless. NATO is leaching off of our generosity. And Trump didn't abandon NATO for the record. He did make them pay their agreed upon rate for our services at 2% of GDP. Romney apparently was OK with NATO NAtions shucking responsibility for their bill onto American taxpayers. Perhaps if Putin was actually on their border they would get serious about financing their own defense budget instead of outsourcing it to us. Trump is right. They've been using us. It's TIME NATO PAYS UP.
We are so isolated now adays, we have to talk to each other more and understand each other better. Democracy is built on people with different solutions coming together and making a compromise. we can't compromise if we don't listen to each other's grievances and give each other the chance to speak rather than shouting each other down.
To JensOverby and everyone, I feel exactly the same. I've also always asked myself what I would do in the same situation. Now I have an answer-absolutely nothing...and still so many people here don't know what's going to happen and worse don't care...
Ukraine and my nation UK lost many of its brave military standing by the US after 9/11 during the 20 year war on terror.. How about these supposed patriot magas returning the favour and supporting your allies. Dont even have to risk american lives in doing so in this case either. Being a patriot isnt just about loving your country. Its about loving what your country stands for.
The average MAGA couldn't find the UK or Ukraine on a map, let alone tell you who helped the US after 9/11. They have been told that they are victims and only an orange man can save them.
I'm not convinced Trump loves the USA. Some of the things he and his hench people are doing seem to be damaging to the USA rather than loving for it right now.
Conservatives will often brag proudly about how they came to Europe's rescue in world war 2 while simultaneously arguing they shouldn't do that anymore
I'm a liberal and you probably wouldn't like me, Senator. We certainly wouldn't agree on much in the way of policy. But I appreciate that, like me, you believe in the rule of law, the right to vote, and in holding our leaders to account for their actions and character. And there is no doubt that Trump's foreign policy ideas will lead to disaster, and he literally has no integrity. But few in the Republican party seem to have the courage to speak up. Thank you for your many years of service to America.
that's great. and then when the election comes around, mitt romney will be the last person on your mind. you will do your democrat cultist "vote blue no matter who" slogan and pick whatever democrat name you see on the ballot, and the RINOs like romney, lankford, lindsey graham, kinzinger, liz cheney, etc. that betrayed their constituents will get smoked by 40 or 50 points. just like nikki haley. of course, that's assuming that they haven't already announced that they won't even be running for reelection because they can see the writing on the wall and want to spare themselves the embarrassment. and in the majority of the cases, it's going to be a very red district where your democrat has zero chance of winning, so a brand new america first candidate endorsed by trump will get in and take the place of your beloved RINOs. and then you will double down and keep complaining that there aren't enough RINOs that are willing to "have the courage to speak up" which basically means agreeing with democrats. you guys "appreciate" them so much that you couldn't even bring yourself to write a nice message without having to include caveats about how "we wouldn't agree on much".. just in case one of your democrat friends are out there reading the comments and might turn on you for being too nice to someone claiming to be a republican.
So you believe in the rule of law and in holding our leaders accountable, yet you would vote for Biden? There is an oxymoron if I ever saw one hahahaha
I genuinely mean it when I express my stress and concern regarding the market crash and high inflation, particularly in relation to my retirement. I have been experiencing losses for quite some time, and while some may argue that crises can present opportunities, I am feeling overwhelmed. However, I understand that investing is a long-term endeavor, and it is crucial to maintain focus on the bigger picture and the long run.....
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $760k by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns...
Not sure what you have invested in? The Dow Jones, S&P 500 index have hit record highs. Move your money into the S&P500 index fund and let it build up…it’s a proven strategy.
Good advice from Patrick. It's Warren Buffet's advice, too. Put 90% of what you can invest in the S&P500 and the rest in short-term debt and get a good night's sleep. And do not listen to brokers.
I agree 100%!👍Both the Democratic Party & the Lincoln Project should spend the next 7+ months constantly sharing Mitt Romney's quote about Trump's *Character*. They need to attack who Trump *really is*, not just his policies (*) Of course, Trump's MAGA-cult, including his pathetic sheep in Congress & the Senate ,will slough-off Romney's comments, because they view Romney as a traitor...however, there are a lot of moderate, life-long Republicans who will be swayed by how Romney will vote, and even some MAGA-cult members who will have their bubble burst by Romney's opinions, Trump's convictions for massive fraud, AND the reality that a jury of citizens foundTrump guilty of raping/defaming E. Jean Carroll.
yes, have the RINOs from the lincoln project putting together commercials with other RINOs and bragging about how they're going to betray their constituents and vote for a man that can't even put together a sentence without the easter bunny holding his hand. i'm sure that won't make trump and the america first agenda even more popular.
The bad people in the Republican Party of Trumpism era are now labeling the Reagan Republicans as being "RINO"s. We Reagan Republicans had the Motto "Character Counts!" The Trumpists who have taken over the party are completely blind; they cannot see how bad Trump is for America and for the entire world. They are too busy worshipping their leader. They can't even see that Trump is showing symptoms of dementia; they prefer to speak that way about Biden. The Trumpists don't read much. If they read, it's only for entertainment or comic books. Reagan Republicans will read and learn. Reagan Republicans read the books and the articles and the reports where those who worked with Trump, especially in the White House, reveal what kind of President he really was. He was not an achiever; he *took credit for the hard work of those around him, who kept bailing the water while Trump was trying to sink* the ship! !!! Trump is a DESTROYER! This is something the Trump followers will never see, since they are in the trap called "The Psychopathic Bond." If Trump gets the nomination, he will fail. There are far too many respected Republicans who are warning against re-electing Trump. The TV Ads will scroll the names of more 100 Republican officials who will be voting for anyone who can stop Trump. The Trumpists should wake up, but they really truly can't see; they are in a Cult with all the Cult behaviors, and reason cannot reach them. Trump is a Sociopath and his followers cannot comprehend the words of the psychologists who are warning us who he is. When a Cultist hears warnings all the warnings sound "incomprehensible" or like "confusion." This is a big red Flag: a brainwashed person can only hear opposing words as "confusing." It's one of the symptoms of being brainwashed.
I wonder if those who are against giving aid to Ukraine would argue that France shouldn't have provided aid to the American Revolutionaries. Aid that, many historians would argue, led to us winning and gave birth to the nation and our form of democracy they are now supposed to represent. Food for thought...
You’re not getting it. France giving aid may have helped America, but at the end of the day, it was their decision. Had they decided not to, it wouldn’t have been necessarily morally wrong
I had family on my maternal side that fought in the 1770s revolutionary. And I was related to the 52nd signer of the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Although he did not personally sign it himself, he sent his son to sign the Declaration.
different times, careful evoking history to argue ideological precedent. In the decades following the war against the British for Colonial Independence, the French were no closer allies than they were when there was stalemate for the frontier in the New World between France and Britain all throughout the 1700s. It should also be mentioned, we strengthened ties to Britain and all but retained them as our primary ally for trade.
France helping the Colonies during the Revolutionary War is a bit different than the US supporting Ukraine. The Colonies were not a sovereign state at the time, they were part of Britain. This would be more in tune if the two eastern provinces declared a war of independence against Ukraine. They did not, and in fact were negotiating an agreement with UKraine for more independence, without separation. France had no stake in the outcome. The Colonies would not become part of France. But they did want to breakup the power base that England held. The US also has no stake, we will not gain any territory if we help. But Russia has a huge stake. They will gain territory equal to some or all of Ukraine. This territory will solidify their annexation of the Crimea and give them a greater presence in the Black Sea. It will also open the door to attack Moldova and the Baltic States, restart their attack on Georgia, and perhaps even try for Poland. Second, France had no obligation to help the Colonies. In fact, if it helped us and we lost, Britain might turn its forces on France. But the US does have an obligation to help Ukraine. We have recognized Ukraine as a sovereign nation since 1991 and while Ukraine is not a NATO country yet, if it falls, there is a very good possibility that Russia will continue to try for other sovereign countries who ARE NATO members. Third, we are supposed to be the leader of the free world. Do we stand strong or do we become cowards and give up on democracy? Do we let China or Russia take over the leadership position, knowing that neither have a democratic government.
@davidreid1055 Romney barely got 200 electoral votes. You listening to him, makes as much sense as, listening to the fat guy eating nachos, sitting on the stands, screaming at the players on the field on how to catch a pass.
He makes clear sense. America depends on friendship with its allies to be where it is before, today, and tomorrow. WOW! He asks for character as a criteria for elected leaders. I like this guy.
That is unacceptable America's friendship with other countries relies on it's economical strength and decimating it's oil supply for starters is not the way to do that.
@@bluewren2 The US has set records for domestic oil production every single year Joe Biden has been in office. The stats are easily available if you're not to scared to look them up.

Blame the handful of corporations That control food & services in this country for skyrocketing prices during the pandemic BUT have not lowered the prices since the U. S. Has recovered, very well, in all other areas. POTUS does not control oil or food prices.
I appreciate your characterization of Ukraine. 🇺🇦✊🏽A clear level headed voice with empathy is needed. The first comment he said if Ukraine doesn’t receive funding was "many lives will be lost". Thank you Mr Romney
The funding has cost many more lives than without the funding. The funding keeps the killing happening. Stop being naive. Compromise with Russia would have occurred with Ukraine, but, the West implored Ukraine not to,… because the West pumps money and weapons into Ukraine. Let the re-claimed annexed regions stay with Russia.
All the Rublicans are asking for is a separate bill policy for Ukraine, Israel & the Souther Border, oh & proof of accountability of where this aid money is being spent, Ukraine says they don't have enough weapons. So where's the money going, maybe just maybe Bidens money laundering.
Joe Biden's Biggest Accomplishments: -Historic inflation crisis-3.1% now (even tough biden's average inflation is 5.7%) vs 1.9% average inflation with Donald Trump -Botched Afghanistan withdrawal -New record Gas prices in all 50 states -Higher Vacation rate than any president in history -Worst border crisis on record (10.5 million) -Return to energy dependence and sky-high energy bills -Record homicide rates in a dozen U.S. major cities -Strategic Petroleum Reserve at historic low -Weaponization of federal government against political opponents -Prolonged supply chain shortages -2 Major wars during his presidency -One of the highest spendings in history and the list goes on...
I agree. Every time the sabers start rattling I ask would I put my brother (the only military aged person in my family) on the front line. My answer is my position on the question of war. Ukraine, as of this moment, no. If Russia uses nukes or attacks a NATO country, yes.
I'm not going to any war. I'm not going to die so some fucking schmuck at Lockheed Martin can get his Christmas bonus while his kids sit safe at home while poor kids get turned into pink mist.
Yet, he also helped promote trump and would not speak out until now. Like so many who supported it, they only now speak out against it. Senators Flake and McCain are the only two republicans I remember speaking out early on. The few others waited until the damage was already done.
I always liked Romney, I never understood why otherwise intelligent and caring people would hate someone just because Trump tells them to hate them. Strange world we live in.
I think it's the other way around. It’s Romney who hates Donald Trump because he is jealous of all of his achievements. and how popular he is worldwide. Romney is angry because his dream of becoming president of the United States was dashed. He is very envious because an envious person does not want what you have. He doesn't want you to have it either. also to be u. religious the bad example of him. because Jesus taught to forgive and love our enemies. and we can all see his hatred for Trump. He also did not criticize Biden for the union speech. when I speak in favor of abortion. but it does support more money for the war in Ukraine. But he did criticize for not agreeing to raise taxes on the rich and millionaires. He's just looking out for his pocket. It is seen that he loves silver very much, it is the root of all evil.
No it has nothing to do with Trump supporters hating him because he didn't like Trump. He is a fake republican. He has democrat policies and ran as a republican. He is a traitor.
Trump doesn't have to tell anyone. I voted for Mitt but he is such a a Trump hater himself he votes with the democrats on the majority of things. That's why the majority of conservatives have had enough of him.
@@raprock5000 He has good reason to be a Trump hater and to vote with Dems on majority of items.

Also at no time do they act conservative, Money is spent left and right by the republican party, and yet none of it goes to help to the American public who's taxes support their spending. Democrats spend way to much money, Republicans are supposed to be there to compromise and stop the spending, but that's not how the new Republican party works, they claim to be conservative but spend just as much money as the Democrats do, but in less helpful, and more anti-American ways.

If the election was held today, I'd put in a write in vote for Larry Hogan/Mike DeWine. Hogan, a former Maryland Governor and DeWine, a current Ohio Governor, would be a much better Presidential ticket than Biden/Harris and Trump/whoever?

I remember hearing a number of conservatives who said that they thought Romney would make a good President but the Tea Party era forced him into having to be this jerk. I doubted that narrative back then, after all, he had kind of a Gordon Gekko vibe. Then Trump came along and I realized they were right.
I liked Romney too until he gave his 47% entitlements speech. That number includes social security. That talk still in Ron Johnson literature during last state of union. Still Romney soars above the rest.
Yes,that’s pretty good for a Republican,if he mentioned that not helping the Ukraine ,is contributing to the deaths of Men, women,Children,among them Mothers and Fathers,Grandma’s and Grandpa’s
It's phenomenal that all it takes to make a Republican seem saintly compared to the rest of his party is to give him consistent morals and principles. Qualities that are completely absent from the rest of the hillbilly fascists that found their way into D.C.
From a European point of view, we need to know if the US supports democracy. Can we trust you??? Could really use a President like Reagan, Obama or maybe Mitt

"Tyrants are often popular. A democracy is one where you have the will of the majority, but through rule of law the rights of the minority are protected. Otherwise it's a tyranny... an autocracy." Malcolm Turnbull, Prime Minister of Australia from 2015 to 2018, talking about former-President Donald Trump.
Mr. Romney hits the nail on the head! CHARACTER IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! A leader is the strength of a society; and the citizens of a country must be very careful of the type of leaders who are put in leadership. A leader must be of sound character...exemplary behavior! The character of a leader determines the character of a society. Once lawlessness is practiced and accepted by our leaders, then it shapes the society and it becomes the norm. Once lawlessness takes over a society there's nothing left to build on. It will be demolition from there on!!! Even if a leader does poorly economically or otherwise during his tenure of leadership but has good character, a country can rebound because the foundation remains strong. Mr. Romney makes all the sense. He's a man of wisdom!
For All Trumpettes: notice how Mitt said positive things about Trump, but also provided very coherent, rational reasons he wouldnt vote for him. No slander. No childish insults. No baseless judgmentental outlook or takes. Your cult leader should take notes
Who really cares? I never vote based on the character, only based in the things get done! Trump did a lot of good things, and Biden has a character and look at our country now😂
From my perspective in the UK, why on earth isnt Mitt Romney standing for President. He seems like a thoroughly decent man with a very accurate understanding of the world today and the role the USA needs to play in it
It may be because he got demolished in the last attempt, not least because the left was decidedly more derisive and ridiculing with him then than they are now.
Well you could say similar things about Obama and Romney lost to him. Also Republicans hate Romney because he’s vocally anti-Trump. The crazy part in all of this is why so many people are so supportive of Trump.
R better than T is not much of an endorsement. When looking at candidates, it’s important to look at their characters and votes. Where did they stand, what did they do, who and what are they? Vote. Be an informed voter. As a senior citizen, I want to know if a candidate wants to butcher SS. Will the IRS be funded? Will Head Start be funded? Will safety be funded? ACA? Will women’s right over her own body be codified? And the character of the candidate matters.
Such refreshing principles simple and sensible not false or seeking one's own benefit and progess, thank you for restoring faith in humanity, hope and justice will always stand
