Full disclosure:

Matt Walsh (born June 18, 1986)[1][2] is an American right-wing political activist, author, podcaster, and columnist.[3] He is the host of The Matt Walsh Show podcast and is a columnist for the American conservative website The Daily Wire. He has authored four books and starred in The Daily Wire online documentary film What Is a Woman?.

...

Walsh's views have mainly been described as right-wing[68][3][69][70][71] and conservative,[60][72][73][74] but also as far-right.[75][76][77] His commentary is sometimes described by media outlets as trolling or provocation.[78][79][80][39] He labels himself a "theocratic fascist" in his Twitter biography,[81][82] which he said was an ironic response to an opponent using the label as an insult.[83]

Walsh has argued that the trial of Kenosha unrest shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, who was acquitted, was malicious prosecution.[84] He has argued for banning pornography and supports restricting abortion.[85] Walsh has argued that ozone depletion and acid rain were never serious problems, in tweets that Ars Technica described as "willfully ignoring some very well-documented history".[86]

Walsh believes that cannabis should not be legal. He believes that it is more dangerous than alcohol and tobacco, and that it causes violence.[87][88][89]

Regarding the casting of Halle Bailey in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid (2023), Walsh said on The Daily Wire, "from a scientific perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense to have someone with darker skin who lives deep in the ocean," and suggested that the mermaid should be translucent instead. Walsh's commentary was mocked on CNN by digital senior entertainment writer Lisa France, who said "racism is real, unfortunately, and people get so offended".[90] Later, Walsh said that "Translucent rights are human rights".[91] He jokingly called anime "satanic" in an answer to viewers' questions in one of his videos, adding "I have no argument for why it's satanic. It just seems that way to me."[92][93] He has called multiculturalism a "failed experiment".[94][third-party source needed].

...

Walsh is an opponent of the LGBT rights movement and the LGBT community, in particular the transgender rights movement and the idea of being transgender in general.[13][95]

In February 2021, after a Gallup poll showed a sharp increase of people who identify as LGBT, especially bisexual and transgender, in Generation Z compared to previous generations, Walsh accused "the media, Hollywood, and the school system" of “recruiting” children into the LGBT community. Other commentators quoted by PinkNews argued that Walsh was wrong, attributing the increase to different factors, including an easing of social stigmas among younger people.[96]

Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Walsh accused President Joe Biden of feminizing the U.S. military and recruiting lesbians who he said "can't do three pushups", and said that it was "not a coincidence that [Russia's invasion] happened after Biden spent his first year in office focusing primarily on wokeness".[97]

I mean Putin took Crimea when Obama was prez (we did zero about that) and has destroyed Ukraine under Biden. Only one of the three still runs their country correct? Not a genius of course he is a evil dictator, we can't seem to remove him or stop him.

Honestly.  Be better.  

Trump will not rally NATO against Putin and continue the work of building an anti PRC alliance network in East Asia.  He states this repeatedly.  It’s why veterans hate him.  He does not keep the faith. 

He would seek quid quo pro from the dictators he saliva bathes.  That’s all he wants.  He wants to destroy our collective security institutions and empower the global oligarchs. 

Only rubes can’t see that.

Putin is corroding the Russian nation and society from the inside out. He is a cancer that is going to kill its host. Nothing to be happy about in that whole mess. All the rest of the world can do is prevent his necrosis from metastasizing beyond his own borders.

There are realities, you can't launch an all out attack on Russia. Once that is off the table, reasonable people can and do  disagree on how to manage the situation. You can complain about having to spend the money but other people sometimes do things you have no choice but to respond to and those responses are often not free.  If your business was being burgled you would have to buy security to establish your 'stalemate' with the local thieves. Of course you can always just give up.

Everyone lives in a world where their choices may not be all they would prefer.

I know the cost of freedom. You ever smell boiling guts from IED fragment stuck in your buddy? Not something anyone should feel or see. That was Afghan freedom that no longer exists.
