Trump and the Republican Party encourages Russia to Attack the United States and NATO

 Whether it's Republicans attacking Joe Biden's memory or Republicans encouraging Putin to attack NATO, Bothsides have a problem with Attacks on Democracy.

The Corporate Media got a big laugh when Traitor Trump, declared during a debate with HRC, "No puppet.  No puppet." when HRC pointed out Trump loves Vladimir Putin and was beholden to him because of the money the Putin funneled into Manhattan and into Trump's failed real estate "empire".

Hahahaha!  Then Trump went out and conspired with the FSB, GRU and other Russian intelligence services to defraud the United States of America in 2016.  But, once again the Corporate Media decided to cover Trumps claims of "No Collusion!" even in the face of the Untied States Senate led by Republicans report that Yes Trump did collude with Russia.

Since, then by their actions it's obvious the Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian Government and Vladimir Putin.

It's no coincidence that following in the footsteps of Tucker Carlson's "interview"of Putin, Trump took to the Stage in South Carolina to tell one of his bullshit phony Sir Stories,

In this latest iteration, Trump begins this "Sir Story",

“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay, and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’” Trump said, adding “I said, ‘You didn’t pay, you’re delinquent?’” 
“No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

Trump encouraged a raging warmongering dictator to invade US Allies.  Is this enough to get the Corporate Media to call for him to stop running for President?  I think you know the answer.

I know Trump lies all the time, but he's telling the Truth about where his allegiances lie, they lie entirely with his own self-interests.  Putin and the Russian Mob floated hundreds of millions of dollars to Trump when he was at his lowest bankrupt point in the 1990's.  Now, the rest of the Republican Party is helping Putin out of the sheer joy of being treasonous and allying with the enemies of the United States because the enemies of Democracy are the Allies of the GOP.

But, for Trump always remember anyone who doesn't kick some money to Trump is his enemy, that's what the "bill" Trump is referring too.  Trump expected NATO countries to kick a little money into Trump Inc. they way China and Russia and other Nations did when Trump was President.

Last year, Tommy Tuberville took a break from holding up thousands of military promotions to blame NATO and Ukraine for the Russian Invasion of Feb 2022, 
“First of all, you have got to look back at what caused this conflict.  What caused this conflict is the United States expanding NATO from all the way from inner central Europe all the way almost now to Ukraine. They have pushed Ukraine into being in NATO. President Putin said that is not going to happen.  We are not going to allow the United States basically to be on our border. That is the reason he is fighting this war.”

Who do you think this "We" is, that Tuberville referenced?  I read a lot of articles where people express shock at how the Republicans went from being against Russia to embracing Russia, but, those people seem to forget the passage of time and the recognition of like-minded Authoritarians.  The GOP of Ronnie Raygun attacking the Evil Empire is long gone, the Modern MAGA GOP fully recognizes Dictators and Fascist Governments are their natural allies.  Conservatives understand they have more in common with the brutal governments of Putin's Russia or Orban's Hungary than with the United States of America especially when the Democratic Party has representation in the Federal Government.

Trump openly admits his admiration of Dictators and his firm intent to be a Dictator.  But, the Corporate Media is fully invested in softening treasonous Republican declarations, continues to play off Trump's fascist ideations as jokes, "take him seriously, not literally" remember?

But, then Trump has never been shy about his love affairs with brutal dictators


During his interview with Maria Bartiromo over at Faux News, Trump couldn't hide his admiration of President Xi of China (It should also always be pointed out China paid Trump money during his Presidency, which probably explains why Trump love Xi)

"I like President Xi a lot... he was a very good friend of mine.  Sure...  No no no I got along with him great.  I'm not sure he loved what I was doing, yeah but I was getting along with him.  Look, the market almost crashed when I won Iowaand New Hampshire the market went down tremendously..." 

Of course, Republicans and the MAGA horde overwhelmingly want Trump to in fact be a Dictator

because they yearn to put journalists who question them, migrants trying to come here, women who get abortions, black people who get "out of line", and LGBTQ persons who have the temerity to exist, into death camps.

How AntiWar.com learned to stop worrying and love Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

Such claims are dismissed by the
Pro-Putin "Antiwar" crowd.
I used to read Antiwar.com which was highly critical of the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and provided a counter-balance for the incessant drumbeat of War! War! War! by the Corporate Media and the War Boner reporting of embedded journalists.

I meandered back to their website recently and was aghast but unsurprised that most of the articles they are linking to are by conservatives and Antiwar's take on Ukraine and Russia is evil NATO made Russia invade, and it's only a matter of time until Russia wins so Ukraine should surrender now, and *ackshullay* Biden is the Warmonger and NATO is the one escalating the violence, and watch out Russia might Nuke everyone because we made them do it.

It's despicably shocking to see Antiwar embrace Putin and Russia's invasion of Ukraine and adopt the abusers framing of Look what you made me do while catapulting rightwing narratives of Ukraine the fascist backstabber, and embracing Republican threats of cutting off funding for Ukraine.  It's beyond "Tankie" and beyond Only America is Imperialist, it's fundamentally a pro-Russian invasion of Ukraine position.

"Peace Champions" adhere to C3PO's advice,
'Let the Putin Win'
Every article front paged, linked to, and commented upon simply ignores what Putin said were the intentions and goals of his unlawful war and invasion; the so-called "denazification" of Ukraine and the elimination of Ukraine as a sovereign state for the right and proper re-absorption back into Mother Russia.  Instead articles and their comment section are full of people denouncing the rapacious Biden White House, inventing all manner of conspiratorial events which supposedly triggered Russia's invasion, and preposterously pretends that, by pushing and agitating for Ukraine's defeat, they are the true peacekeepers and the defenders of international Law&Order. 

Why is "Antiwar" trumpeting Russian talking points and linking to rightwing writers who've written the same It's Time for Ukraine to Surrender article for all of 2022 while supporting Russian's invasion of Ukraine?  I don't know.
