Vivek Ramaswamy, who has skyrocketed to third place in the Republican presidential primary by campaigning as a millennial candidate with fresh ideas, is facing a new hurdle as he attempts to navigate the fraught debate over U.S. military aid to Israel.
The 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur and self-proclaimed political "outsider," has raised eyebrows for his shifting positions on U.S. military aid to Israel, which he now says he wants to cut off in 2028.

He accepted money from George Soros. That's all anyone needs to know.

The "debate" hasn't even started and the circular firing squad shoots at anything that moves. The Dem's will hope that the MSM pukes emphasize the wounded.

He was refereshing at the outset but there is no perfect candidate. Not since 1980, anyway.

So… he’s okay with china taking over Taiwan; wants to give the skid mark family of Delaware and Humper a pardon; and now this.
He’s running as a republican…yes?!

fta: This week, he told the Washington Free Beacon that he supports ending the military funding once the current package passed by Congress expires in 2028, arguing that the aid will be unnecessary after he successfully negotiates new peace treaties between Israel and its Arab neighbors during the first year of his presidency. (snip) Ramaswamy describes his Middle East plan as "Abraham Accords 2.0," an expansion of the historic Trump-era deals cementing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.

It pays to actually READ the articles posted instead of just knee jerk posting.
That said, there will never be peace in the Middle East. Both side loathe each other with a hatred of literally Biblical proportion. I applaud the efforts but both sides have zealots that will not allow a lasting peace.

Get the impression the more we know about Ramaswamy the less we will like him. He can broker peace between Israel and the Arab countries? Really? There is a long list of failures with many politicians damaging themselves in the process. Ramaswamy will find his name on that list if he pursues this. Don't see anything special about the guy.

#15 may be onto something. Perhaps this site should change the rules so that we do NOT post the headline from the article. Rather the poster should create their own headline which isn't clickbait for the destination.

Thanks #9. I was “whaat?” until I read the article. Do I trust Vivek? I was suspicious immediately but the more I read, he is a definite no. I really do not know any serious MAGA conservative who is swayed by his eloquence either and we are not trolls

A guy who has probably never read Genesis 12:2-3, but who conducted foreign policy as of he did. Unlike some of his “Christian” predecessors, Carter being the worst.

Good luck with that 1st year in office Arab Israeli peace plan which solves the insolvable that's been going on for 70+ years.
I don't know if this is a political ploy or he's just so naïve / arrogant he honestly thinks he will solve peace in the Middle East in his first year in office.

How hard is it for a reasonably bright guy to see that vast numbers of American voters are for a candidate who has espoused certain policies to go copycat. We have little idea of who this man is,, how he would govern, what he’d achieve, what he really stands for. We don’t know who he really is.
I believe he’s a wheeler dealer. A salesman. I have no confidence in him.

Trump

Um, #17, I think you got that Tel Aviv thing backwards. Trump moved our embassy to Jerusalem.

Oh golly! (slaps forehead)… I had no idea that he was going to bring peace to the rgion so that Israel would no longer need US military assistance after3 2028. That changes everything! Next he’ll be selling rugs to Arabs.. And no doubt talking Xi out of his plan to be emperor of the world… and….
When will he tell us how he plans to do this? What experience he has in this sort of thing? Will he just rap them into insensibility so they will do anything, agree to anything, to make him stop? Will Eminem be his secretary of state?
A whole new world opens up...

Reading the comments on almost every thread reminds me that the country is probably doomed. I thought posters at this site had more to offer than jumping like trained dogs to headlines and media edits that are shall we say inflammatory. Doesn't matter. DC can take away all of your rights and they now control the elections, so just react to every 'story' that pops up.
