Republicans Just Can't Seem To Condemn Trump's Policy Shift Toward Putin

GOP officials who have supported Ukraine are trying to balance their opposition to Russia while remaining loyal to Trump.

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 sure they all have dirt on each other down to mutually assured destruction. I’m still betting we’re over 50% remotely controlled on both sides.
