Yea I am not sure how he has done that; some right-wing people don't like the amount of $ we have given to Ukraine with all the corruption there. I don't think that is so much pro Putin. Of course, you will find nutty people that are full pro Putin just like nutty people in every walk of life. Like people cheering for Hamas and holding multiples protests for that. When was the last Putin/Russia protest in USA that was major in anyway?
There is an assumption that if you don't want to be on full board help Ukraine train that means your pro Russia. There are people in between that acknowledge what Russia is doing is wrong. But it would be interesting to see how you came to this conclusion. If you want to point to Trump, he had some of the toughest sanctions on Russia.
I think we should be helping Ukraine but not as blindly as we have.
Your stance is perfectly rational. I would expect that, to be honest with you.
But there are plenty of Tucker parrots on here, and while they might not be representative in the real world, the more Tucker platforms Putin the more people will just blindly accept that really it's Zelensky who is a threat to America - it's unfathomable that anyone would ever believe that, but here we are. Plenty have swallowed Russian propaganda that Ukraine is somehow more corrupt and anti-democratic than even Russia, which is preposterous even if they're far from perfect.
There's a need in every country, I guess, to rail against the major narratives. It's not new, it's not clever, but it's often passionate. There were Americans that fully backed Nazi Germany during WW2, for example, which is ludicrous. Not the same, I'm not saying it is, but it seems all you need to really get your tendrils inside certain fragments of the American right is doubt. Nothing but doubt. Once you've sown that doubt, that's the empty space where CTard narratives grow, and one of those seems to be that Putin isn't that bad of a guy.
That's a line Tucker has been openly spouting for a looooong time, now.
He
is that bad, and the only way Tucker can pretend he isn't is by asking if he's personally taken their jobs or attacked their state. Of course he hasn't. It's never that direct or simple. But it's simple enough that everyone should understand that Russia under Putin is a very legitimate threat to America, and he'll do everything he can do undermine that economically if not militarily - such as by starting proxy wars all over the planet alongside allies like Iran.
