Mitch McConnell on Fox News: “I’m gonna try to help explain to the American people that defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now … there should be a bipartisan support for this.”
This whole thing is the old GOP’s wet dream. It’s sad and disgusting seeing how deluded their gullible, dim-witted voters are now.
Get to fight a war by proxy? Get to do it against the 2nd-biggest enemy of our country? Get to demonstrate technological superiority of our military by throwing old weapons at the proxy? Get to do all of that and be seen as heroes on the geopolitical stage? We’re dog walking one of our oldest enemies and not really losing anything in the process. If this war wasn’t such a massive tragedy it’d be a golden opportunity. Cheney would have s’putin his pants.
It’s so much better to control the planetary over population by educating all women, furnishing health care, birth control and abortion on demand than by what this sick man is doing. Free and quick snips for the guys would also do a lot to reduce the teaming hordes.
Russian State TV Says U.S. Has Declared War After Crimea Comments
A Russian propagandist has claimed on state TV that the U.S. has declared war on the country following reports of the White House’s approval of targeted strikes on Crimea.
The real reason Tucker Carlson supports Russia’s Putin
The Fox News host has provided cover for Russia’s invasion. But calling him a “traitor” misses the point.
In the run-up to the invasion, Carlson persistently downplayed the severity of what Russia could be doing and pushed back against the prospect of American involvement. He characterized the situation as a “border dispute,” distracting from the reality of Russia’s yearslong meddling in eastern Ukraine and the illegality of Putin’s recognizing and ordering troops into Ukraine’s eastern separatist-held regions. Carlson argued Ukraine was “not a democracy” to denigrate the case for America’s supporting it. He posited a ludicrous theory that Democrats stand to benefit financially from war in Ukraine. And he delivered a long monologue about how Americans are socialized to hate Putin even though he’s not responsible for what Carlson sees as Americans’ primary social ills (“Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle-class job in my town to Russia?”). That monologue was, in fact, replayed by Russian state-sponsored television because it served naturally as Russian propaganda.
These kinds of comments sparked widespread claims that Carlson was a traitor. And in an analysis at The Bulwark, William Saletan characterized Carlson’s behavior as “anti-American,” “pro-Russian” and “treacherous.”
Carlson and his ideological allies, like Steve Bannon and Donald Trump, see in Putin someone with a shared worldview — authoritarian, fiercely nationalistic, happily bigoted. They see themselves as part of a shared ideological project — and we can see in Hungary’s emergence as a politico-intellectual hot spot for Western white nationalists how pockets of reactionary politics in non-Western Europe provide fertile territory for this set to think and organize. We wouldn’t describe Carlson’s affection for Hungary’s authoritarian leader, Viktor Orbán.

As Republicans want to cut aid to Ukraine, McConnell says they support Ukraine. They just don’t want to upset Putin, I guess.
