| How the American Left empowers Putin |
| 2022-03-16 |
| [Unherd] For more than a decade, Vladimir Putin has sought to sow division and undermine American democracy. Now that he’s distracted by the conflict unfolding in Ukraine, his successor has stepped into the spotlight: America’s political class. Once wars united people, but not in modern America. Here, the vast majority of citizens share remarkably similar opinions about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: that it should be condemned outright. Our politicians, however, seem blissfully unaware of this. In Congress last week, despite strong pro-Kyiv sentiment among the vast majority of Republicans, pro-Trump acolytes constituted the largest faction of those who voted against supplying aid to Ukraine. Yet on this issue, there is little to distinguish them from the Democratic Socialists of America, who have called for America’s exit from the "imperialist" Nato. There are even some on the far-Left who believe the West’s sympathy for Ukrainians reflects our unredeemable racism. Hello, I must be going.... |

| #4 How the American Left empowers Putin Its called professional courtesy, among authoritarians. You really don't want those people raising another big army. |

| #3 I must disagree with you, Omomolet. Don't think of it so much as keeping Russia out as it is keeping Germany down. You really don't want those people raising another big army. |

| #2 Who gives a crap what Putin wants or doesn't want? It's all about what's good for the American people. Absolutely we should exit from NATO. It's a terrible deal for us, providing free money to wealthy countries that can afford to pay but don't. Just because socialists think the same doesn't mean it's a bad idea, socialists like breathing too, you gonna hold your breath just because of that? |
