butkr a war in ukraine is a war that barbara lee can support. why?th becauseer there's no potential chance that war could help the united states. >> here's her reasoning. this war not only about ukraine, this war is about the rest of the world and putin trying to establish autocratic governments throughout throughout the world and we know that this ispl taking place through disinformation campaigns, through all kinds of misinformation that's taking place. >> oh , so it's not reallybo about ukraine. it's about something bigger than ukraineme. thanks, barbara lee, for being dumb enough to tell us that to say it out loud, this is a war on disinformation which at some point in some way is dead certain to be a war on you. no question about it because you're fonts of disinformation, meaning you disagree. but we know for certain that wars against things you can't really identify against people who don't exist, words against concepts. one thing we know about those wars like the war on terror is they last forever. so it's a little weird to see tim ryan of ohi
