Giving Russia a pass?

[astonmartin708]

These analysts saying a rump state is a distinct possibility, are delusional. That Ukraine 🇺🇦 could become like east and west Berlin, is so far distanced from Putin's plans, it's not even funny.

The only way he let's a western ukraine 🇺🇦 exist is if he feels occupying the entire country will cost him too much expense and losses. More than likely he will just put in a puppet government in Kiev, and wear the resistance down with time.

This song takes on a really odd meaning in this conflict.... Even the "Red White and Blue"



Oddly this was in reference to a Niel Young tour in USSR getting canceled in the 80's so, it's always been about how much Russia sucks.

Given Putin's efforts to keep Biden from being elected and undermine US elections, look to Germany for the pressure on Biden. The pipeline was 90% complete and what else did we have to offer beyond sanctions? I don't like it either, but Putin's agent in the US is still Trump.

and you know this, because?

MotherJones as a source 😂😂😂😂😂

I'd laugh 😄 at the source if Russian media wasn't already making it obvious that they are doing this.

Tucker has definitely gone off the rails on Russia. The irony here is WATU complains about citing conservative sources but has no issue with throwing out motherjones 🤷‍♂️ Another irony is the Pubs have generally called for a harsher line towards Putin than Biden. Who has been drug along by Europe on sanctions as well as providing weapons.

I would have thought WATU was more of a Steven Seagal kind of guy..

Some conservatives have gone beyond giving Russia a pass. Trump continues to compliment Putin and many Republicans want to abandon Ukraine to Putin as well. How can you be both anti-communist and pro-Putin?

G.O.P. leaders, while condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, were silent on comments made by the former president. Some figures on the right amplified them.
