"SNIP..............
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said on C-SPAN that some of his Republican colleagues want Russia to win in their war with Ukraine.
Said Bacon: If we dont do this, the Russians will be in Kiev. Unfortunately, a few of my colleagues would like to see the Russians win. I dont know why that is the case. I think its a terrible thing.

Trump lead on showing fealty to Putiin. It is Trump's 'leadership' on Russia that has brought us here.

So they cannot turn on Trump or start being honest.

Yep, he is definitely an asshole for saying he cant image why "some" in the gop want Putin for POTUS in 2024.

(16,588 posts)I mean, I know they want to help Putin, because that's what TSF wants. That's pretty clear. But WHY some Republicans (I don't believe it's all of them) care more about what Trump wants than about the survival of a small-d democratic nation like Ukraine or about our own national security is baffling to me.
Some might say "because they're evil" or "because all they care about is power," but that doesn't really cut it for me. How much power is any American political party going to have after Putin has taken over Europe and our democratic government has been turned into a dictatorship with TSF squatting on top of the wreckage like an ugly toad?
