Why are so many Republicans still supporting Putin?
Is it because their Leader, Trump, is still supporting Putin and they do not wish to get on the bad side of their Leader?

Are they so captive to their cult that they cannot criticize a dictator who invades his neighbor and commits war crimes against innocent women and children? Even though the entire world has stood up to condemn this reckless act of aggression?

It is truly sad to see such spineless acquiescence. It is even more sad that many of them are sitting in the Congress of the United States.

Where are all these pro-Putin republicans? if there were any their statements would be broadcast by the MSM 24/7...

just another MSM/Leftist lie.

2. It's because they are traitors and racists first, Americans 2nd. Oh yeah, they are also stupid.

They approve the right wing dictator because he's hateful to & deliberately targets gays, women and minorities. They also like him because he projects hate and aggression and they are so stupid they think this = strength. He's white in a country of only white people and they like that too.

3. Because libruls are outraged by Putin.

7. He's been their sugar daddy

He has been feeding them dark money through evangelical churches, conservative nonprofits and PACs. He flies them around on private jets through front organizations. In return, they do his bidding.

I don't know this for a fact, but the behavior and rhetoric of all involved presents this as the only logical explanation.

The real fact is Putin and the Russians have been supporting the green movement in the west and social progression in the west in order to weaken the countries...

10. I think it's because Putin has been strongly...

... anti-homosexual, and he's behaved in other ways that seem to agree with evangelical Christian "family values" nonsense.

Republicans are dead in the water without white evangelical Christian voters. Even Hillary Clinton would've won the "white vote" if none of the self-identified white evangelical (born again) Christians had voted in 2016, they voted so overwhelmingly for the Republican again despite that person being an obvious charlatan in Trump.

Even Republicans who aren't evangelical will tend to go along with their strongest voting base. It's their main hope for holding onto any power. At least until they can do away with democracy altogether and rule like fascists, but they're not there yet.

11. G.O.P. support of Putin's slaughter of Ukraine is

deeply troubling. Not all Republicans support this ungodly massacre, but many do. It is outright evil. And the evil (Thou Shalt Not Kill) obvious.

I was just about to post Moron Kentuck's thread here, because I have an honest, real, serious question.

WHO are these Republicans that the DUmpmonkeys think support Putin?????

Because I haven't seen any Republican who actually -supports- Putin. If they mean Tucker, it seems he is anti-war, which was (in DU-land) a moral, righteous stance 20 years ago. I have seen a lot of people who suggest that provoking Putin into using nukes might be a bad thing. But--support Putin. Um, that would be a HUGE no.

It'd be hilarious if it turned out Russia was funding "green energy" groups in the US... oh, wait.

Support? No.

If forced to choose, however...

I'll take a nationalist over a globalist until I see a damn good counterbalancing reason not to.

So would anyone else with a lick of sense.

Hence the confusion of the DUmmies.

I don't support Putin but with full press for supporting Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in the world, I am not going full support Ukraine. You see I remember the screw job the media, our supposed government, and leftist gave us on the BS covid scam from lockdowns to masks, to really poor performing shots (not vaccines) that were lies.

Any intelligent person would. So that excludes any DUmmys.

A No Fly Zone over Ukraine would work about as well as Gun Free Zones work to stop school shootings. They just don't get that putting up signs won't deter Putin any more than they did Ethan Crumbley.

     Why aren't more liberals putting down the absinthe, pulling up their pantaloons, and traveling to take up arms against the Russians? They certainly talk a big game. Go fight, DUmmies. I think you might have to actually FIGHT, though, as I don't think the Ukranian Army has a 203rd Dank Anti-Putin Meme Force or a 533rd Poetry Battalion.

Questioning the deification of Zelensky and the role of NATO in the run-up to this war is not the same as "supporting" Putin. It's a typical tactic of the Left to accuse people of supporting or defending a particular person or group simply for demanding all the facts about both sides. It's just a tool to try to silence anyone not in lockstep with their narrative.

If we had a Republican POTUS you know they'd be out there talking about "nuance" and screaming for non-involvement from the U.S.

No fly zones are a bit different...more like turning 5 active shooters against the one at the school

Guess what the favorite "democracy" of the democrat party, NGOs, corporations,  corrupt politicians (BIRM), the WEF, Soros... just did?

Ukraine, Zelensky declared that all opposition parties would be suspended indefinitely.
