This is quite the concession about Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln’s principled stance was one of the causes of the Civil War.
In other words, Lincoln forced the issue, which is what tyrants do.
Lincoln was not a peacemaker.
Update:
It's too bad Nikki Haley didn't say Lincoln was a cause of the Civil War during her failed presidential run. That would have been REALLY fun to watch.

Um, Nikki Haley thinks the president's job is to keep the military out of harm's way?
And here I thought harm was their business.
She's so precious.

Trump is the accidental anarchist to Biden the intentional one
Trump treating NATO like a plaything in South Carolina:
'No, I would not protect you [NATO], in fact I would encourage them [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want, you gotta pay! You gotta pay your bills.'
“Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew,” Trump said.
In Michigan Ron DeSantis is still on the ballot Tuesday February 27th:

New Hampshire primary exit polling on the illegal alien invasion shows Nikki Haley's vote came overwhelmingly from Democrat voters
New Hampshire primary exit polling shows Nikki Haley's vote is overwhelmingly in the bag for the new crazy asylum gimmick for illegal aliens flooding the border under Biden, which means her voters were mostly from Democrats.
. . . two-thirds of Haley voters said that undocumented immigrants should be given the chance to apply for legal status.
More.
The gimcrack redefinition of the asylum system under Joe Biden is simply the latest Democrat m/o at work about everything: Find a work-around around the law when you don't have the votes to change the law.
That explains the National Popular Vote Compact, Obamacare, student loan bailouts, et cetera. Redefining millions of illegal aliens as asylum seekers is simply the latest example.

GOP candidate positions on Ukraine demonstrate nothing but groveling to the anti-war right
And the kernel there is pretending things that are not true, the mark of an unserious country.
Nikki Haley is simply incoherent. She says we have to win this war, but without more financial assistance.
“I don’t think we need to put money in Ukraine,” Haley said last week before an audience in Iowa. ... “This is not a war about Ukraine, this is a war about freedom—and it’s one that we have to win,” Haley said. “If we win this war, this will send a message to China, it will send a message to Iran, it will send a message to North Korea, it will send a message to Russia. If we lose this war… they said Poland and the Baltics are next, and you’re looking at a world war.”
Ron DeSantis pretends Russia never invaded and simply has a territorial dispute with Ukraine.
“While the U.S. has many vital national interests—securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party—becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them,” DeSantis told Fox News host Tucker Carlson this week.
And The Daily Beast isn't wrong about Donald Trump's position, who to this day touts the myth that he is some great deal-maker who can untie the Gordian Knot:
Former President Donald Trump has said he would have let Russia “take over” parts of Ukraine if he were still in the White House.
It is also the case that there is plenty of pretending on the other side, that the West wasn't responsible for the Ukrainian revolution of 2014 which ultimately provoked the current conflict.
Statesmen tell hard truths to their people. But none of ours seem capable of telling even the simple ones, including Joe Biden.
