The REASON they defend Putin and slander Ukraine is obvious- They desperately want to install an autocracy here in the USA. That was the entire point of the Trump presidency, Jan. 6th, the voter suppression, the big lie… that is why they have allied themselves with, and received assistance from, the worlds leading autocrat. Successful resistance against autocracy, the failure of an autocracy anywhere is a threat to their goals. It frightens them.
So they celebrate and defend Putin as he commits war crimes, they slander the bravery of the Ukrainians…
But when the lines are so clear between evil and its victims, and when evil is failing to achieve its goals… why do they think so openly siding with evil will work out well for them?
