Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Wednesday criticized her party for what she sees as a growing sector of the GOP that supports Russian President Vladimir Putin as he wages his attacks on Ukraine.
“You know, the Republican Party is the party of Reagan, the party that essentially won the Cold War. And you look now at what I think is really a growing Putin wing of the Republican Party,” Cheney said at a McCain Institute event at Arizona State University.
The outgoing congresswoman, who lost her reelection bid in Wyoming to her Trump-backed Republican challenger, knocked Fox News for “running propaganda” and called out Fox host Tucker Carlson as “the biggest propagandist for Putin on that network.”
“You really have to ask yourself, whose side is Fox on in this battle? And how could it be that you have a wing of the Republican Party that thinks that America would be standing with Putin as he conducts that brutal invasion of Ukraine?” Cheney asked.

She’s ready for the happy farm Jim the truck is ready.
“When one here says they wish for a Russian invasion of USA, yeah...they are anti-USA.”
_______
That’s hardly a pro-Putin wing
“You are NOT ALLOWED to just be objective and neutral and see the wrong on BOTH SIDES of this war.”
You can do that all you want, but only one side resorted to invading and shooting people across the border in another nation. If you can’t summon up the moral clarity to make that distinction, then you are effectively running cover for Putin whether you admit it or not.
“I guess that makes him a neocon?”
Yeah, this is a problem for the people trying to claim everyone who doesn’t accept Putin’s propaganda is a “neocon”. Trump doesn’t accept it either. So either Trump is a “neocon” or they have to admit that they’ve turned “neocon” into a completely meaningless insult, just like the left has done to “nazi”.
Certainly antiamerican
No because I also do not like “why” he did what he did. There is a real chain of events like it or not. You can’t just ignore the events that led up to it like they never happened.
She’ll inherit half of her father’s blood money; he spent a lifetime selling war for profit to raise this chubby turd who thinks she’s the apex of all knowledge.
Amen to that! If you dare question the war in the Ukraine you are labeled a Putin supporter by the FR warmonger brigade. Neither side is worth the effort and it’s none of our business. Nope, gotta go to war, gotta send weapons, advisors, $10 billion a week, conventional NATO forces, gotta use nukes or you’re a commie sympathizer!
I support an America first foreign policy. You don’t have to be an isolationist you just have to ask a simple question how does doing or not doing something advance America’s interests in the world. The neocons and warmongers are not having any of that nonsense!
There was a “chain of events” that led up to WW2 as well. Germany did have actual grievances. That still didn’t justify any of Hitler’s actions in the least bit, nor did it make any of the people who excused his actions on that basis any more morally correct.
The parallel is that Germany didn’t think Czechoslovakia and Poland had the “right” to ally with Britain and France, much as Russia doesn’t think Ukraine has the “right” to be a part of NATO.
I suspect all those who support this war are invested in the MIC contractors. Lining their pockets just like the neocon politicians are.
What would we do if Mexico allowed china to bring in nuclear weapons? Would we be any less brutal in protecting our Sovereign Nation? Would we just take over Mexico at all costs?
See... I know the answers to those. And so do you.
“What would we do if Mexico allowed china to bring in nuclear weapons?”
Despite the constant repetition of this kind of question as if it is some great “gotcha”, it’s actually an inane question. The whole point is moot, and has been for decades. China and Russia have been able to strike any point on the globe from their own territory since they developed long range ICBMs. So placing missiles on other countries territory is pointless and obsolete.
That’s why this kind of thing hasn’t been an issue since the Cuban missile crisis, and it’s why this is such a dumb question.
The only thing that would be achieved by China placing missiles in Mexico would be to give Mexico a deterrent against invasion. But since nobody on the planet has any interest in invading a craphole like Mexico, that is also a pointless and moot scenario.
The more lying crap you throw does nothing to persuade others of the correctness nor righteousness of your position or cause.
Could be. Anyway, she’ll be around for a long time being a pain in the @$$ for the GOP.
