Russias invasion of Ukraine has destroyed entire cities, ripped almost five million refugees from their homes, killed tens of thousands of people, fundamentally reoriented Europes security architecture, and revealed that the era of great power competition isnt just still with us it continues to pose an existential threat to millions of people.
But despite the tectonic implications of the war, many American commentators on the populist right have been busily figuring out ways to filter their analysis of the conflict through their own petty, personal and provincial political fixations.
"Has Putin ever called me a racist?" Tucker Carlson asked on the eve of the most devastating conflict in Europe since World War II. "Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?"
This isnt just a symptom of the mindless polarization that continues to warp our politics its a disturbing reminder that the commitment to basic liberal democratic principles is increasingly tenuous (or nonexistent) among powerful political factions in the United States.

TC cares nothing about the word salad vomit expelled from his head anus other than for how it swells his bank account and increases his notoriety. End. Of. Story.
