"Former Representative and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi
Gabbard (D-HI) thundered against the state of the modern Democratic
party. On Twitter she called out the party’s leadership as being led by
“cowardly warmongers who are firmly in the grips of the military
industrial complex, and don’t know or care about the cost of war, or who
pays the price.” She mentioned that the party has led the country in
turn “to the brink of nuclear war......This proxy war against Russia using the Ukrainian peoples lives
continues to escalate. We are hearing more talks of NATO countries who
want to send troops into Ukraine which will only increase the likelihood
of a direct confrontation between the United States and NATO countries
[on the one side] and Russia [on the other],” she said.
The Hawaii politician then evoked Ronald Reagan’s , a Republican
president, comments about nuclear war. She cited his famous dictum that
“nuclear war can never be won and should never be fought.”
She observed
that “he [Reagan] was right when he said those words and he is still
right today but the elite don’t care. They don’t care because they have
got bunkers, they got places they can go where they know they will be
safe and they have got no problem leaving the rest of us who don’t have
those things… to perish.” TP
