To most people, both at home and abroad, the purpose of President Joe Biden's recent trip to Ukraine is not mysterious: The United States would like the nation to prevail in its war against Russia's invading army, and this show of support is valuable for moralizing Ukraine's supporters while demoralizing Russian President Vladimir Putin. Far-right Republicans, on the other hand, tied themselves into knots in trying to diss Biden without coming right out and saying they want Ukraine to lose.
Some, like the American Nazi supporters of WWII, tried to package their stance as mere isolationism. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, for instance, exploited the Ohio train wreck catastrophe to argue "Biden is ditching America for Ukraine." Others, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, went full incoherence, raving, "[I]t's becoming more like a U.S.- China war through the Ukraine — Russia war." And some went for puerile race-baiting, such as Rep. Greg Murphy yelling about "the war zone [Biden] created at our southern border." (In reality, the refugee crisis at the U.S.-Mexican border was created by Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies that Biden has been prevented from fixing by the GOP-controlled Supreme Court.)
There's a deeper reason why so many Republicans are going out of their way to undermine American support for Ukraine.
Perhaps the biggest show of pretzel logic came courtesy of Florida's GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who tried to leverage the past year's successes against Russia as evidence that the U.S. should drop the support for Ukraine. "I think they've shown themselves to be a third-rate military power," he said of Russia on Fox News, as if that justified rolling over and letting Putin take Ukraine.
. . . It's because they agree with Putin's anti-democracy cause and share his hopes that defeating Ukraine will demoralize pro-democracy forces around the world.

But then again, I'm told that I'm a warmonger.
We'll just use it to accuse our opponents of hating America and wanting Putin to win. Right PGOS?

Looks like the rubes are zeroing in on Ronnie
Bout time idiots
No actual defense of what the fuck we are doing. Just name calling and demonizing "the right" as anti democratic
The only people on the Tug that want to hurt Putin are the pro-US oil and gas proponents. Gee, billions in revenue for US workers and taxpayers and a huge dent in the Russian and Saudi oil and gas revenue. Propping up Putin's revenue supply seems like a winning strategy for our anti-American POS.
The Biden administrations goals here are no secret, they are trying to create a war and distract from all the failures and criminal doings and launder as much money as possible while consolidating power and persecuting political rivals and critics.
Typical MSN article.
Nowhere did I say anything about giving Putin shit.
We wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for Barry and Jotatoes admin work helping faument the color revolution in Ukraine in 2013-14
Utter bullshit for you to imply That I would suggest giving in to Putin.
We had no business interfering and every russian leader since ww2 has warned about trying to expand NATO eastward.
This war is not what Americans want... this is what rogue politicians want for cover as the truth of everything including the convid scam and the FTx money laundering money back to the DNC along with the gain of function biolabs in Ukraine and to line the pockets of their MIC donors
They are using the state run media to brainwash soft minded idiots like you into believing they are on the right side of history.
Just like the article, you're trying to imply that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a Nazi sypathizer.
Does work on me.
Try again
