Top Republicans say Trump pulling troops from Top Republicans say Trump pulling troops from Germany sends ‘wrong signal’ to Putin. The GOP statement is a rare rebuke of Trump, whose foreign policy and other decisions have largely gone unchallenged by congressional Republicans. (MS NOW)
Like DUH…I read articles like this, and my mind kind of explodes. Top Republicans suddenly have a “whack on the side of the head,” it’s as if they have been sleepwalking these past few months, paying zero attention to the Trump Reich and his Lieutenants, who have criticized President Zelensky of Ukraine, or have insisted that the only peace plan for Ukraine is for Ukraine to cede its territory to Putin, that Russia had invaded.
Add to that, the red-carpet welcome Trump lavished on Putin when he landed in Alaska, the hours-long phone call Trump had with Putin regarding Iran, and of course the permission for Russian oil to be back on the petroleum market, boasting income for Russia to pay for the military intervention into Ukraine.
And let’s go back in time when Trump publicly asked if “Russia was listening!”
The top Republicans have been way too silent, way too eager to please Trump’s desires to side with Putin and Russia, at the expense of our allies and at the detriment of NATO. Pretending that Trump is either a Russian agent, being blackmailed by Putin, or so enamored of becoming a dictator like his idol Putin, because doing so kept them from getting on Trump’s enemy list, has been nothing but an outright fuck you to our Democracy and to those of us who prefer freedom to Fascism.
So suddenly these top Republicans have crawled out of Trump’s ass, to actually see the truth!
