This is what kills me about republicans. This is their cold war fantasy. 40 years of looking at the iron curtain, it was all for this kind of fight. And now that it’s happening, and russia is grinding itself down and we bring home not a single casket, they are cowering in mother’s skirts. This should be the cynical war hawk’s wet dream - your enemy collapsing and you only pay the bill in cash, not blood.
This doesn’t make sense to you because you’re not seeing the whole picture. Putin isn’t the enemy or Republicans. They’re in his pocket. He either bankrolls them, or has sufficient Komprimat on them to keep them in line.
