The right wing press / Trump propaganda networks have been almost unanimous in their apologetic tone toward Putin. They do this because that’s what their viewers want to hear. You and your fellow right-wingers have no leg to stand on when it comes to lecturing anyone about class.
Russia offered to have talks in Minsk - lol like they wouldn't just arrest the Ukranians....... The Ukrainians said sure, but in Warsaw.....they aren't gonna fall for Putin's bs. DD
Literally Trump thought the invasion of Ukraine is "very smart" "savvy' and " genius" - he said that this week. Fox News has been blasting pro Russia propaganda for months. He got impeached - the first time - for trying to extort the President of Ukraine. You can try to construct some logical framework about this that puts you on the pro democracy, non-Trump side - 50 Republicans in the Senate had the chance to but, they passed on it, as did everybody a second time around after Trump tried to stage a coup, and they all failed the test. Stop making this political is a convenient thing to say when your politics are so repugnant. **** Trump and anyone who still supports him. @tinman @basso @Os Trigonum
This makes me think that Putin thought this would be FAST and easy and that the Ukraine would not fight, and he may be looking for a way out very soon. DD
trump himself has been rooting for russia all week. and he is doing it b/c of politics and also b/c he admires authoritarians like putin. he said putin is invading ukraine to maintain peace and he even called for the united states to invade mexico.
Not surprised at all - hopefully some are sending in hit squads to start taking out Russian officers. Putin is dirty, I hope he gets killed by his own people over this..... DD
I still can't get over my shock of seeing Sergey Kislyak in the oval office. Kushner wanting to use his coms gear. If I'd read that in a Tom Clancy book circa 2000 I would have just thrown it in the garbage.
