Generally, I like the concepts, and I agree - MAGA is confusing here as it's not just a concept - it's been usurped as a political ideology.

But for me, I would put "End Foreign Intervention" on the top of the list, given today's escalation in Ukraine. I can't call it a WTF moment - I think it's actually an expected escalation as Mr. "diplomacy is back" continues to fund and provide more and more advanced weapons to Ukraine. As the President of the Russian Federation said this morning, they are fighting "the entire military machine of the collective West."

There is more that concerns me:

"I would like to remind those who make such statements regarding Russia that our country has different types of weapons as well, and some of them are more modern than the weapons NATO countries have. In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. This is not a bluff.

The citizens of Russia can rest assured that the territorial integrity of our Motherland, our independence and freedom will be defended – I repeat – by all the systems available to us. Those who are using nuclear blackmail against us should know that the wind rose can turn around."

This is probably news after this WTF moment, but, well, I hope the world survives Joey and Liz Truss.

And personally, I hope that the infrastructure on what was Ukraine isn't destroyed, including the family block of flats, but I'm less optimistic this morning. The current leadership of the West no longer cares about peace, diplomacy or its citizens.

I'm not sure if there's a step beyond worst President EVER, but maybe it's time to add one. Worst Western leader in post-war history?

Simply put, most MAGA people let alone most Amerikkkans don't understand what Communism is to begin with. Does Hinkle?

It seems that fighting against Communism disappeared as a concept after China became a trading partner. Now, astoundingly hypocritically, the fight is against Russia's "imperialism". And those who label Republicans as Nazis - cheer on Nazis in Ukraine. It is quite worrisome to think of what a desperate EU will do in order to get its hands on Russian gas and oil, now that the EU sees what US sanctions have done to it. And NO mainstream media news about anything at all is to be trusted one iota.

I always keep in mind that Hinkle is 22, is worth between $1 and $2 million, and is quite the metrosexual. And may not have actually experienced a lot of adversity in life. He seems to have bounced between a lot of groups protesting or advocating things, and the only job he has had, it looks like, is working at marketing Clif Bars. I have about six or so YouTube channels I watch for Russian news, and he is one of them, but I take some of his stuff with a grain of salt. I do not mean to denigrate his life experience, I just think he may have a different viewpoint than I do for some things.

It all seems like a mishmash to me…but I am just a grizzly bear.

We may see the re-industrialization of the US - I saw a mention that some corporations may leave the EU and relocate in the US - because we have the energy resources they need. Which actually sounds kinda nefariously planned.

I'm with you: "MAGACommunism" sounds like pure bullshit to me.
