This is a piece that contains numerous tweets reflecting GQP comments that complimentary to Putin from Republicans, many here. Click the link and see... Before Republicans pivot on Putin here are all of the things they've said to praise himSarah K. Burris February 27,2022 If there's one thing Republicans and the Fox network has been against its Communism and those who promote it like Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin. But when addressing the world last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised those same Soviet leaders with gusto. “Let’s start with the fact that modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia, more precisely, by the Bolshevik, communist Russia. This process began almost immediately after the 1917 revolution,” Putin said. But for the past several months, Republicans have stood in solidarity with Putin as he inches closer to war in an effort to reclaim the former Soviet Union land. Tucker Carlson has spent the past several months holding up authoritarian states. He then declared Ukraine “strategically irrelevant to the United States,” and asked why the U.S. is on the side of a democracy like Ukraine instead of Russia. "Why the emphasis [in Washington] on Ukraine’s borders and not ours?” www.rawstory.com/republican-party-supports-putin/ |

An interesting perspective. I hate that Republicans are quick to blame Biden for the current situation while absolving themselves of any responsibility. And maybe, we have finally hit on something that will break up the current Republican Party. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/28/treasonous-republicans-romney/
Donald Trump spent four years (plus a year campaigning) cozying up to and helping further the geopolitical aims of Russian President Vladimir Putin. If Putin had handpicked an agent to be president of the United States, he could hardly have expected better results; Trump certainly exceeded any expectations Putin might have had with his disparaging NATO, extorting Ukraine by withholding military aid, leaving Russia’s election-meddling unpunished, inviting Putin back into the Group of Seven and attacking our own intelligence community. To this day, the defeated former president continues to praise Putin (“smart”), and continues to denigrate the United States (“dumb”) and our allies.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), ridiculed as a presidential candidate in 2012 for identifying Russia as our primary international foe (he was premature but prescient), on Sunday called out Putin’s admirers in his own party as “almost treasonous”:
Romney hit on an uncomfortable truth: The GOP’s Putin apologists include also the loudest and most odious Trump supporters.
The divisions within the GOP are stark and becoming unsustainable.
How long can Romney and Cheney tolerate the cognitive dissonance required to remain in a party aligned with Trump and Putin apologists? There comes a time when a united front means putting aside partisan differences and doing whatever it takes to stop a pro-Putin, pro-Trump faction from returning to power

Another one - www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/02/27/putins-war-drives-trumps-personality-cult-new-lows/ In the new Washington Post-ABC poll, 80 percent of Americans, including more than three quarters of Democrats and Republicans, view Russia as unfriendly or an enemy — the highest level of animosity toward Moscow since the Cold War. But Russian President Vladimir Putin still has one prominent American admirer: former president Donald Trump. And in the United States, Putin’s war has taken Trump’s personality cult to new lows. |

This is heartening. Kind of sad though that it's not 100%. That 20% of Americans don't think of Putin as an enemy is downright scary. Putin is not America's friend, never has been, never will be. |

Cracks have developed with the Russian billionaires, so are they with some of former's cohorts.... Trump forced to walk back his praise for Putin after Republicans recoil from Ukraine invasionTravis Gettys February 28, 2022 The former U.S. president could always count on his base to remain loyal, but his strongest supporters have not gone along with his calling Putin's aggression an act of "genius," argued USA Today columnist Austin Sarat. As the former president saw it, there was nothing to condemn about the unfolding act of aggression in Europe, but much to admire," Sarat wrote. "There was, however, a response to Trump’s full-throated embrace of Russia’s authoritarian leader. That response signals a change in attitudes toward Russia even among Trump’s base, and it foreshadows a recalibration of the conversation about democracy and authoritarianism in the United States and abroad. Surprisingly, many of Trump’s usual cronies did not join his praise of Putin."House minority leader Kevin McCarthy condemned the invasion as "reckless and evil," and even Fox News host Tucker Carlson changed his tune and called the war a "tragedy." Where Carlson goes Trump cannot be far behind," Sarat wrote. "So it was not surprising that in his Saturday speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Trump trimmed his sails a bit. He still insisted that Putin was 'smart' while trying to pin the blame for what the Russian leader did on the Biden administration." Polls show that a large and bipartisan majority of Americans favor punishing sanctions against Russia, and more than three quarters of both Democrats and Republicans view the country negatively -- and 40 percent view Russians as an "enemy." "Putin’s invasion is a wake-up call for Americans who ... have become complacent about democracy," Sarat wrote, "and it is a stark warning about what the world........ www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-2656804549/ |

He still insisted that Putin was 'smart' while trying to pin the blame for what the Russian leader did on the Biden administration." Excuse the language about to flow out of my fingers. But FU*K. I am so f*ing sick of seeing this blamed on Biden. Are people really that f*ing stupid??? Putin is playing a long chess game and has been since the day he became president/dictator of Russia. He has made no secret about what his plan are, and he has made little moves along the way in Georgia, Crimea, Ukraine, and nothing nefarious has happened to him because of it. Biden has been president for a year. In one way, Trump is right--Putin is smart. Evilly, deviously, smart. This whole thing has been in the works since way before Biden became president. |

And the argument that Putin didn't invade during Trump's presidency is just stupid. Of course he didn't, Trump was anti-Nato, pro Putin, so it didn't serve Putin's purposes to invade then. His move now was calculated to capitalize on the world being distracted with covid, Germany's new leadership, UK's distraction with Boris's covid parties, division in the US etc. And the Republican attacks on Biden for things out of his control are really tiresome. And regrettably, working because his poll numbers are at all all time low and may even sink below Trump's. |

More MTG news... We shall see ... Kevin McCarthy slams Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'unacceptable' appearance at white supremacist conferenceBrad Reed February 28, 2022 It appears that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has finally crossed a line that House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) cannot ignore. After she appeared as a featured speaker at a white nationalist conference over the weekend, McCarthy was asked by reporter Jake Sherman if he still stood by her. Last week I was just in Israel," McCarthy said. "When I come back I see two colleagues who went and participated with a group that has a leader that many times gives anti-Semitic views, and led a chant for Putin. For me it was appalling and wrong." McCarthy went on to seemingly accept Greene's explanation that she didn't know that conference host Nick Fuentes was a white nationalist, but he added that his introductory speech where he praised both Putin and Adolf Hitler should have been enough for her to walk away."I think with that introduction, you should've walked off stage," he said. "This is unacceptable."McCarthy also said that he would meet with Greene later this week, although he did not say if there would be any punishment for the controversial Georgia congresswoman. www.rawstory.com/kevin-mccarthy-marjorie-taylor-greene-2656811319/ |

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/01/republicans-biden-fail-putin-succeed/
After her fellow Republicans booted her from party leadership last year, Rep. Liz Cheney posed a question: “Do we hate our political adversaries more than we love our country?”
GOP leaders had set the blame-Biden tone earlier in the day. Rep. Michael McCaul (Tex.), the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, likened Biden’s actions toward Russia to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler, saying, “We have a weak president, and he’s creating a very dangerous world.”
Also Tuesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), the No. 3 House GOP leader, said Biden “failed to engage in meaningful deterrence against Russian aggression,” and asserted that “the war on Ukraine represents one of the greatest foreign policy failures in modern history.”
House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and Rep. Steve Scalise (La.), the House GOP whip, amplified the attacks on Biden over Ukraine. And Sen. John Barrasso (Wyo.), head of the Senate Republican Conference, said Biden’s “policies from Day One have enabled, emboldened Vladimir Putin to do what he has done,” adding that it’s “as if Vladimir Putin were Joe Biden’s secretary of energy.”
Some Republican candidates have even been fundraising off calling Biden “weak” on Ukraine.
The relentless assault no doubt undermines Biden — but it also weakens America. Biden’s response — the U.S. response — can be only as strong as Republicans allow. By sabotaging the commander in chief, Republican leaders have made it more difficult to rally the nation to accept wartime sacrifices (accepting higher energy prices or, potentially, lost American lives).
In the official GOP response to the State of the Union, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds picked up the blame-Biden theme, accusing him of “focusing on political correctness rather than military readiness” before the Ukraine invasion. “Weakness on the world stage has a cost," she charged.
It does. And Republicans, by undermining Biden in a time of war, risk making America pay.
