"The American president who left office just 14 months ago sided with the butcher."

Last edited Sun Mar 6, 2022, 12:49 PM - Edit history (1)

John Harwood: “Americans rarely pay much attention to international events. Busy lives leave little time for distant events with unfamiliar protagonists.”

“Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has become a rare exception, its butchery in plain view via saturation coverage for anyone with a video screen. But Americans may not yet have absorbed this disturbing reality: The American president who left office just 14 months ago sided with the butcher.”

“That’s right: In the struggle now uniting the free world against an autocrat’s lawless aggression, America’s most recent ex-President sided with the autocrat.”

I knew the bromance would continue. After all, Putey Boy is the Orange Shitgibbon's kind of leader.

We need to get ready for the immediate shift of 30% of the US population to support the asshole in Russia while vilifying Zelenskyy at every turn.

Trump was promised real estate in Moscow in return for his support.
It is only natural that the party of money would be so easily bought off.
