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.
