His snide and condescending "Trumpian Right" garbage tells me all I need to know about him. It's so funny that I've traveled the world, I am a copious reader and love history and possess logic and critical thinking skills but because I am smart enough to search out independent facts, and use my own brain and eyes to assess this "war" and argue that my tax dollars should not be funding it, I am somehow inferior and less intelligent than Murray and worthy of disdain. Murray sounds like a complete douche bag to be honest.

Yes it seems he forgot about soul of humanity he once spoke of another 2 tier.

Douglas is gay and unfortunately he can not get past Russia's stance on homosexuality. All his intelligence cannot prevent him from having that particular knee jerk reaction. Zelensky on the other hand was dancing in fish nets and stilettos on TV just a few years back... it's an entirely emotional position on his part in my opinion.

My understanding is that Russia is not so much anti-gay as it is pro traditional family structure. Russia is NOT persecuting gays, just not promoting them to flaunt like in gay parades.

I agree. But I am quite sure Douglas does not see it that way.

Well that is the problem then is it not? And some of my gay friends hate Putin for the same reason, they say Russia is homophobic. They are blinded by emotion it seems.

I don't care if Murray is gay. His Neoconism however is highly objectionable. It's interesting that he is a vocal supporter of both Ukraine and Isreal in wars that require US backing and $$ to continue.

I also strongly object to his binary thinking that one is either a Ukraine supporter or a Putin puppet.

One reason I voted for Trump is I want both wars ended ASAP.

We need to start pushing harder that those who indiscriminately call peace-supporters Putin-lovers are in fact Nazi scum.

What do you think he's going to do about Israel and is it what you would want him to do?

Thank you, Raheem, for this insight. I, too, saw Douglas Murray’s blog in the Free Press and was surprised to see such a stance. Taken aback, really. Your post here puts it back into proper perspective, which is: the NeoCons are everywhere, often hidden and disguised at times. It’s almost like journalistic guerrilla warfare with surprising IED-like posts that attack at a moment’s notice, without warning. So, the mantra proves true once again: Semper Vigilans.

Too few realize that separation of Russia from the CCP is more important than Putin’s homophobia or even Z’s unrealistic goals for a permanent free ride on US taxpayers. I found the rebuttal essentially correct but unnecessarily homophobic (I’m cis straight) as it seems to imply that those with sexual orientation I find divergent have other insights that should be universally dismissed

Hard to take someone seriously who calls themselve "cis," considering it's a label with no basis in reality - like people who call themselves "trans"

Good grief, I am so sick and tired, of those who are opposed to aiding Ukraine, being labeled as Putin apologists, or fanboys /fangirls, of Russia.

It has zero, to do with either nation, we are sick of funding never ending wars, and need to fix our own Nation, which is hanging by a thread. This is the same broken record and we are sick of it.. too bad if it displeases Murray, and the EU.

America has done more than enough for other countries, over the many decades, thanks to corrupt leadership and the military industrial complex. Our citizens are sick of coming in last, and that is why the POTUS won.

I think Murray,, et al, could all benefit from a large cup of STFU.

Murray surely isn’t as bad as National Review’s Charles C.W.S.M.D. Cooke, is he?

There’s no satisfying that bunch.

What? Nothing about the publicly admitted dozens of US biolabs in Ukraine? No mention of Hunter's involvement or the possible activities of the Pelosi, Karey, and Romney kids? The fact that Ukraine was using US targeting in Russia until it was just recently terminated. Imagine that!

Does Murray have a good explanation for the arrest and killing of Gonzalo Lira by Zelensky. Silly American in Ukraine telling the truth?

Expand full comment

We should tell Zelensky that once he restores Gonzalo Lira's life we can talk about support for Ukraine and him

Why the nastiness towards us gay folks?

Expand full comment

What nastiness?

Expand full comment

The use of “flaccid “, “homoerotic”, the reference to a Mexican boyfriend involved in porn are gratuitous and add up to the snide commentary that gay folks are all to familiar with. It drives gay folks into the arms of progressives

Expand full comment

Well if you think I’m here as some emissary for the gay vote you are sorely mistaken. But frankly it speaks to a man’s character that he dates a porn actor, so that’s why that was relevant. Homoerotic? It was. So perhaps you’re very sensitive (shocker) but we report the facts here. If you don’t like it, we aren’t for you.

I’d like gay people and their families to want to vote against progressives. That’s all.

Expand full comment

Then they should vote for good policies and not along the lines of their sexual identity.

So who should we give a reach around ?

How long do we have to grab our ankles before you gay folks are happy?

Tell him to armor up and head over to Ukraine to fight, we’re done.

Murray’s denial of Ukraines nazi problem means he has no knowledge of the Ukrainians enthusiastic participation in the German war effort and the elimination of Jews.
