Josh Hawley Provides 'Aid and Comfort to Putin,' 'Kansas City Star' Alleges

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Kansas City Star is accusing Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley of being a "disgraceful voice of appeasement" in the run-up to Russia's invasion of eastern Ukraine.

The Missouri-based regional newspaper on Tuesday published a withering editorial that placed Hawley among other conservative media and political figures who "have demonstrated unseemly fealty" to Russia's autocratic president, Vladimir Putin. The editorial added, "Few, though, have been as enthusiastic as our junior senator."

The editorial comes a day after Putin recognized the independence of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine and sent troops within the neighboring country's borders. Both European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and President Joe Biden said they were moving forward with sanctions in response to what they called a flagrant violation of international law.

While the Star's editorial called for the U.S. to denounce Russia's "incursion with one voice," it added, "Don't look to Hawley for help."

21. Just for fun, I was trying to come up with

an analogy to explain why Putin's action is so utrageous to people who don't get any of this.

Say there's a family with a bunch of kids, and two of them, say aged 11 and 12, have hooked up with a drug dealer and had personality changes - very rebellious. The dealer (who sex traffics on the side) comes to the house and these two kids ask him to emancipate them. He says "Sure, and leaves, taking the kids with him.

Then he comes back with gang members and seizes the house. Kills the arents.p Traffics the other kids.
