Summary
Republican lawmakers who have condemned Putin hesitate to criticize Trump’s recent pro-Russia stance.
Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for the war, called President Zelenskyy a “dictator,” and demanded Ukraine surrender rare earth minerals in exchange for U.S. aid.
While some GOP officials reaffirmed support for Ukraine, they avoided directly challenging Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration negotiated a Russia-Ukraine peace deal without initially including Ukraine.
Zelenskyy rejected Trump’s minerals demand, warning of dangerous precedents.
I’m not shocked that they’re proving themselves self-serving cowards after lying about being the party to uphold traditional values and be trusted to take care of america and the american people, to bring honour and glory on the world stage.
It was always a lie but just a less obvious lie than what’s going on now and they never had any shame. Like corporations which only care about values or anything else insofar as it affects their bottom line.
They were always looking after their own interests - wealthy people protecting and trying to increase their own wealth.
