He applied his feelings to conjure these "conclusions" and couched that concern in the magic words "national security".

He then "reported his concerns" to the NSC's legal counsel . . . AKA, his twin brother.

I stand by my statement that Vindman's (both of them) primary concern was perpetuating and enhancing pro- Ukrainian positions within the US government . . . As such, his motivations and actions are certainly subject to inquiry.




You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.
