Man the Republicans changed. Not 40 years ago everything red is dead, and now they're falling over eachother to be able to suck Putin's dick. Anything for money and power, no?
The weird thing is just that people somehow don't see this?
Because they have finally realized that modern day Russia is not the Soviet Union. They fucking love what Putin has done to Russia. Putin has turned Russia into a fascist state supported by the Russian Orthodox Church. The Republicans wish they could do the same to the US.
I'm from Central America, Republicans and Americans started a proxy war and used as all as fodder, made us fight a civil war where each side was funded by Americans and Russians. They made us all fight and die just to keep the Russians out of this side of the world. They killed so many of our people and torched our country, just so they can call us racist names for fleeing the war to the u.s, and they can suck Putin dick and give in to the Russians they killed us over.
Try 10-11 years ago. Republicans were still pointing to Russia as the biggest threat to the US at the time. They still weren't right but it's a 180 turn to now.
I have the unfortunate privilege of having to hear right wing rumble shit almost daily. These people are repeatedly being fed whatever the Kremlin says and literally everyone else is wrong. The sad part is you can go back months and none of the shit (not just wrt Ukraine) has ever materialized but they kept getting promised that it will. And the globalist elite is going to be destroyed by Rump any day now. He has them right where he wants them and only he can save us! And yes, that is word for word something I've heard countless times.
