Democrats are looking to make Ukraine a wedge issue in order to keep control of Congress and get a leg up on the 2024 presidential race.
That’s what the attempt to smear the entire Republican Party with the stink of being pro-Putin apologists is about.
Every major elected Republican official has come out squarely opposed to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Many Republicans were urging Joe Biden to apply sanctions against Russia even before the invasion. But Democrats and their allies in the media have taken some ignorant comments from Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham and have tried to paint the entire GOP as supporting Putin and his war of aggression.

And this is why Biden seemingly pushed for this war.

Who would rank the War in the Ukraine over soaring inflation, crime, our country being invade through non existent borders, etc. The dims issues are pronouns, pervert rights, climate, etc. Much as it sicken me to see innocent people being killed by thugs, the Ukraine is the country that paid Quid Pro Joe's spawn, Snorter, $ 90k a month to not show up and fired a government official at Daddy Bidet's order who was investigating. Back in the 90s there was a civil war in Rwanda and hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Many were hacked with machetes and thrown alive into rivers to be eaten alive by crocodiles. Don't remember much new coverage of that.

People vote their pocketbooks before anything else. 6.00 Gasoline and 8.00 bread will be the issues actually being voted on.

John McCain's Mini-me says something stupid. Different day, same old schiff. Kinzinger is a rat. Nobody takes either of them seriously, yet here's another member of the conservative intelligentsia getting his panties in a bunch over their dumb comments. We are not well served by the Chicken Little types who live in constant fear of the GOP of blowing a near sure thing. Just stop it.

sounds like hysterics to me but then again, the repubs always have Kevin McCarthy to argue their case in the public forum - is that good or bad? we'll see and as our duly elected President, Donald J. Trump says: (I paraphrase) let's see what happens.

The GOP establishment has piled headlong into the Ukrainian disaster with the Democrats. It is another failure of the GOP, as they bed down with the Democrats again, showing we have uniparty rule in DC, and how sorely we need a genuine opposition party.

The D.C. critters can't moral panic all they want. The rest of the country isn't going to vote for a party that in less than a year, has ruined the country and seems intent on staying that course no matter how much it hurts its citizens.

Here's the truth. Americans didn't give a crap what was happening in the Ukraine until there was 24/7 coverage of the brutal Russian invasion. Americans now "stand with Ukraine". Which is meaningless virtue signaling. "Standing with Ukraine" will come to a screeching halt the second meaningful sanctions are imposed causing the cost of gasoline to hit $7.00 a gallon, the cost of food to double, more supply chain shortages and reduced crop yields due to Russian fertilizer shortages. Should we get involved militarily, all bets are off. Anyone criticizing Biden now is already being labeled a traitor.
Americans are all about supporting the underdog until we are personally inconvenienced. Those "economic sanctions" are a double-edged sword.
There is no "good" end to this situation. Russia isnt going to stop until it gets what it wants. Which leaves us with two options. 1. Stay out of it and let this play out. Which means the US standing in the world is greatly diminished. 2. Ratchet up the sanctions etc. Which risks damaging our own economy and an escalation of conflict.

And this is why Pence and the RINOs are working for the Totalitarian Socialist Party.

I cannot see ANYTHING that helps Dems in this war.
They are weak, feckless, stupid, incompetent, and just as useless/harmful on this as on every other issue.

Just like everything else the voters will get bored of this "issue" and move on. When it costs $100 + to fill up the car with gas, and everyday goods are too expensive, nothing else matters.

To quote a Democrat of the Clinton era: "Never let a crisis go to waste". The other principle of Democrat governance is that if you need a crisis you can always find one because progressive policies always create disaster.

Are all of the right media reading from the same GAE script?
It's time for a sweep for those who put our interests before those of the GAE and the rest of the fascists who want to rule the world.
