"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 don’t do this, the Russians will be in Kiev. Unfortunately, a few of my colleagues would like to see the Russians win. I don’t know why that is the case. I think it’s a terrible thing.”

.............SNIP"

Applegrove:

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

One of these days, I hope soon, these republicans will realize that the traitor is also a coward and they are going to come out and say and do all the things they know they have to do to get rid of the clown, and the clown will melt like the witch in the Wizard of Oz.

They were involved in J6, some of Trump's other crimes, and take money and help from Putin.

So they cannot turn on Trump or start being honest.

Congressional Republicans have been waffling on Ukraine and Russia ever since Putin's puppet snuck all EC-like thru the WH backdoor.

The Republican Party is seeing a growing acceptance of Russian expansionism in the age of Donald Trump - AP News

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?
