Gov. Glenn Youngkin used Ramstein Air Base in Germany as a backdrop for a photo-op on Sunday to buttress his credentials for, checking notes here, not sure what, since he’s not running for president anymore.
“When adversaries seek to destabilize the globe, it often falls on our armed forces to meet the gathering threats and defend freedom. Since the Commonwealth is home to national strategic assets like the Pentagon, Quantico and the largest naval base in the world, Virginians know all too well the commitment and sacrifice that comes with serving in the military. Their courage and dedication to keeping Virginia and America safe is profound. I’m honored to serve as their home state governor,” Youngkin said in a statement.
Perhaps he could help better get that message across to fellow Republicans in Congress and in the inner circle of Donald Trump, the disgraced ex-president who wants to dismantle NATO from the inside.
The Russia-misinformation-peddlers in the Republican Party and conservative media held up, for six months, additional military and economic aid for Ukraine to help that country defend its homeland from the two-year-plus Russian invasion.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine may very well have been the start of World War III, and we just don’t know it yet.
But sure, Glenn, pose for photos with the troops, making yourself look all official.
Maybe Trump, god forbid he wins in November, will give you a low-level federal agency to run as your reward.
