Bannon: Trump Must 'Pull Support' for Ukraine After Drone Blitz

MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon called on President Donald Trump to condemn Ukraine's weekend drone attack on Russian airbases and "pull all support" after reports that the White House was not informed in advance of the offensive.
More than 40 warplanes, including Russia's Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers, were reportedly damaged or destroyed across four airbases in Murmansk and Irkutsk, thousands of miles from Ukraine's border. The operation, which Ukraine revealed it had been in planning for 18-months, came just one day before Monday's peace talks were set to begin in Istanbul.
Axios reported on Sunday that sources within the administration confirmed Kyiv did not notify Trump in advance.
Speaking to Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec on Monday's episode of The War Room, Bannon blasted Ukraine's attack as "irresponsible" and accused Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) of pushing conflict with Russia behind Trump's back.
[If no one informed Trump] then the White House has to condemn this immediately and pull all support and tell Lindsey Graham to come home or we are going to put you under arrest when you come home. You're stirring it up. Lindsey Graham's over there saying: 'Hey, forget Trump. I got the House and the Senate. We're going to pass it. You're going to see something in a couple of days.' Remember that? He's stirring it up over there. He's telling me they got backing.
If they did not give us a heads up on this, full stop, no minerals deal, walk away from all of it. They're irresponsible. They're dragging us into a kinetic third world war. As we said, us - we're getting dragged in now. Or the deep state is driving us in there. Either of these are not good.
Continuing, following on an earlier point by Posobiec who noted the planning began while President Joe Biden was in office, Bannon called on Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and the FBI to gut the "deep state" operatives who might have known about the attack:
Tulsi Gabbard's got to let us know. Did anyone in Intel at all have anything to do with this? Did anybody have a heads up? Did anybody? And if not, who the hell's running the Ukraine desk? Who's running the Russia desk? Same thing with [John] Ratcliffe. This is why [FBI director] Kash [Patel] and [FBI deputy director Dan] Bongino and [U.S. attorney general] Pam Bondi, you've got to clear out the deep state.
This is a ticking time bomb. You see what they're going to get us into. Because now we're being drawn into this. If we didn't know about it, the president, to me, has got to condemn it and got to say we're not going to give any more support because these people cannot be trusted.
In a pointed message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, before going to ad break, Bannon said: "You're supposed to be in Turkey today talking peace, not 3,000 miles into Russia blowing up their strategic bombers."

Told ya MAGA would be traitorous about this.
Traitor might be up there with fascism for the most misused word on this site.
Can we throw in "fair share"?
Pro Putin scum are traitors.
It's a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing. Rightwing religious conservatives hate progressives, liberals, members of the lgtbq community or any who side with them or defend them, but they love rightwing authoritarian strong men who basically tell them white conservative Christians are superior, and they will fight for the rights and needs of white Christian religious conservatives. They also see that Putin and his authoritarian regime put the rights and needs of white Christian religious conservatives ahead of immigrants or any of the "others". It's a match made in heaven, if heaven were a place where a conniving liar determined to undermine western democracy uses his influence to win the support of gullible poorly educated morons too fucking dumb to think their way out of a wet paper bag.
Pro Putin scum only come in one flavor, rightwing religious conservatives who are also stupidly infatuated with a convicted felon, accused rapist and child molester who said he'd probably be dating his own daughter if he weren't her father. These people are fucking sick and the sooner this world is rid of them the better.
cool, future maga hostages, good luck with that ...
Back in my day we called these people traitors (those that wanted to live in the USSR)
I'm amazed that the Russian negotiating team is bothering to go to Turkeye now.
Bannon?? LMAO BFD
It's hysterical, isn't it? The moronic left will try to claim the most right wing fringe nutjob speaks for the entire republican party or the administration but the racist piece of shit congress people that they elected only speak for themselves. hypocrisy at its finest.
The left LOVES their "former" sources. Almost as much as they like their anonymous sources.
He's out of jail?
What's his problem? More like who's paying his salary?
His mentor Trotsky has had writer's block since 1940.
Putin.
The more important question is, Are democrats really willing to escalate the war between Russia and Ukraine into worldwide conflict so they can blame trump?
I imagine they've already begun the planning of that.

Democrats do not control foreign relations, that's the Executive Branch and POTUS specifically.
Democrats do not control the purse strings for Ukraine, that's the House where republicans hold the majority.
So how do you think the democrats can escalate the war? Be specific.
Sneak into the White House and steal the football?
Irrelevant. The 'war' MAGA wants to escalate is their vapid culture war.
Yes! exactly! it has been a long standing tradition of the MAGA's to tell every minority that will listen how inferior they are and that the mean old MAGA is the reason they can't succeed.
my line separating maga and russians is already blurred ...
Just wait until 2 am when he is on the toilet posting on Truth Social. You'd have hours to find it.
Aimed inwards or outwards MAGA is a circular firing squad ... learn how to duck a Q-uack.
You are aware that Ukraine is an ally of the USA, correct?
that puts them on the outs with maga ...
Bannon; if homelessness had a look.
