Former national security adviser robertcobrien took Russia to the woodshed in his remarks at CPAC, lending his voice to the growing chorus of prominent conservatives lashing strongman Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine.
O’Brien, a top aide to former President Donald Trump when he exited the White House, said Saturday at CPAC that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine amounted to a “crisis the likes of which most of us born after World War II have never seen.” He warned that Putin was not content to stop at Ukraine and could target other European countries, including NATO members, if the United States does not show adequate resolve.
That last line from O’Brien, considered a dark horse 2024 presidential candidate, was a subtle shot at some well-known conservatives, including Trump, who have expressed appreciation for Putin as a leader and strategist. Some voices on the Right have gone even further, questioning the United States for taking sides against Russia in its manufactured conflict with Ukraine.
Indeed, most of the headliners at the annual conference of conservatives who are not elected Republicans are accusing President Joe Biden of being too weak in the face of Moscow’s aggression. “I think it’s still Ronald Reagan’s party, and I think ‘peace through strength’ and ‘America First’ were two sides of the same coin,” O’Brien told the Washington Examiner, tying together the phrase “peace through strength” used to describe Reagan’s foreign policy and the “America First” slogan used by Trump.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
