Since the day that Donald Trump became president, Democrats in Washington have told you you have a patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin. It's not a suggestion, it's a mandate. Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason.
Many Americans have obeyed this directive. They now dutifully hate Vladimir Putin. Maybe you're one of them. Hating Putin has become the central purpose of America's foreign policy, it's the main thing that we talk about. Entire cable channels are now devoted to it. Very soon, that hatred of Vladimir Putin could bring the United States into a conflict in Eastern Europe.
Before that happens, it might be worth asking yourselves since it is getting really serious, what is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much?
Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle-class job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Is he trying to snuff out Christianity? Does he eat dogs?
These are fair questions and the answer to all of them is "no." Vladimir Putin didn't do any of that. So why does permanent Washington hate him so much?

Russian TV repeatedly playing sound bites of Trump praising Putins actions in Ukraine…it’s so surreal…the Republican Party endorsing Russia.

REMINDER 2019: Trump gives two different reasons for holding up to aid to Ukraine. Later we learned it was because he was blackmailing the Ukrainian Pres to find dirt on Biden. Plus Trump is pro-Putin https://t.co/mnnl2PlqyG

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn just issued a statement blaming Biden because he “ignored and laughed at Putin’s legitimate security concerns, and legitimate ethnic problems in the Ukraine,” … while we continuing “to demonize Russia.” pic.twitter.com/iWIgi1VyUE

Says the Fucking Russian asset traitor who was forced to leave his job as NSA because he had secretly discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador to Washington and then tried to cover up those conversations.

But sure, let’s get this Qrackhead’s hot take on Putin & Ukraine. 👍🏻
Interesting take from Flynn who was paid $45,000 in 2015 to speak at the 10th anniversary gala for the Russia Today propaganda network.https://t.co/eD1liWucUM pic.twitter.com/rtc223Dr63

“Legitimate ethnic problems” immediately enters the pantheon of racist euphemisms

Add that to Tuberville's "farmland/lebensraum" explanation and Republicans are really just taking us all back to 1939

Ah, yes. Tommy Tuberville invokes Hitler’s “Lebensraum” rationale to justify Putin’s aggression. The largest country in the world just needs more farmland. The exact same argument Hitler used to invade Ukraine. Nice job, Tommy! https://t.co/E41xRNTcEt pic.twitter.com/uay8vQFo8O

The only person dumber than Tommy Tuberville is a Tommy Tuberville voter. FYI: This was also Hitler's rationale for invading Central and Eastern Europe. https://t.co/PVRsKDpeVF

Shortly before bringing up MTG, the camera showed a sizeable and raucous crowd. Fuentes praised "our secret sauce...young white men." Fuentes then solicited a round of applause for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, and the groyper crowd chanted "Putin, Putin." pic.twitter.com/I8BGH1TYGm

It’s literally in the GOP platform:

Removing sanctions and blocking lethal military assistance to Ukraine were the 2 primary goals of Putin’s foreign policy.
The Trump/Manafort changes to the GOP platform handed those goals to Putin on a golden platter👇🏼https://t.co/APcubfBAN5 pic.twitter.com/IKEco7sCQm
Remember that Pompeo had US ambassador to Ukraine recalled to fire her because Giuliani thought she was in the way of Trump blackmailing ukraine https://t.co/w47lD6m0U3

The Biden Democrats say we have to choose. Either we are for them or we are against them. Okay, then, we are AGAINST. Moreover, I’ll go further and say they pose a far greater threat to our freedom and safety than #Putin. He’s the lesser evil. They are the greater one #Ukraine

Russians: This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you’ll be bombed.
Ukrainians: Russian warship, go fuck yourself.
They were all killed https://t.co/uNqh5b9L8C
