Fox News’ Mark Levin delivered an implicit rebuke of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine on Wednesday, debunking a series of false and misleading claims made by the president.
On his radio show, Levin delivered a history lesson on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s rise to power and various crimes, while going to bat for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“People claim to be speaking for you, who are not speaking for you, who are in the media, who are in other positions and so forth,” he continued. “Zelensky ordered martial law — that’s what the constitution there compelled. Zelensky hasn’t called for an election — that’s what the constitution there compels. Now, I’m waiting for the first free election for Vladimir Putin. I mean, this is almost comical in a sick way that Putin is demanding an election. Why is he demanding an election in Ukraine when he doesn’t have free and real elections in his own country? And why does he-, why does he get to call the shots when in fact, he murders people who dare to challenge him?”
“This is what we’re dealing with. Again, old KBG, and not just KBG, he [Putin] was in like Flynn with the Stasi in East Germany. So, I don’t know why there are people that not only oppose Zelensky, but seem to support Putin,” said Levin, attributing said position to a handful of pseudo-intellectuals” pushing “policies that in many ways are un-American in my view, and policies that if they had espoused these policies not that long ago, people would have wondered if they were on the take, or who they’re working for, something like that. Not that they are, but they would wonder.”

what’s Mark hiding?
he’s dancing - for who?
I believe:
Speeding up the end to the war will actually also speed up the demise of Putin. People don’t understand how that region works.
Levin has always been a neocon on foreign policy. He is a warmonger. Never knew him to be any different.
Is what Mark Levin thinks, particularly, relevant?
Sorry people. Levin is just another lawyer! He called me every name possible when I tried to tell him his support for Liz Cheney was ass backwards. He was dead set against Trump when he was dating Cruz’s hired help.
I have total respect for Levin. But Russia has 100M more people. The war must end.
Empowering Zelensky is inadvertently strengthening, not weakening Putin’s grip to unabated rule in Russia. End the war and you’ll see the cards fall and land in due season - Putin can’t use war to unite/distract his country anymore.
Not really.
He does have a point. I think it would be hilarious if Trump came out and said, “We aren’t getting involved in anyone else’s election or regime change or anything like. Putin wants Z to have elections as a condition. I think that is rich. He doesn’t even have free elections in his own country. So this negotiation and peace deal will have nothing to do with anyone’s elections.
No. I quit listening to his radio show years ago.
Levin can whine and complain like Zeepers do.
But Trump will end this War.
He and Liz Cheney should get a room.
Levin has been railing against Putin since Day One. Sadly, Sebastian Gorka was also vehemently supporting Zelensky early on. I don’t know if his views evolved.
I never liked Levin. He’s a poser, not to be trusted.
Mark who?
Putin is 71 yrs old in a country with male life expectancy sub 70. (No, it is not vodka. Analyses indicate something genetic. Similar numbers are seen in various other Eastern Europe countries with very low alcohol consumption)
He was just elected to a 6 yr term last year. He has already said it is his last.
He’s allowed to have his opinion. It is possible that both sides are messed up. In that case, and end to the war is best for all. Ukraine is going to lose some land. That happens in war.
Frankly, I would have been happy to let Iraq keep Kuwait. They weren’t our ally, and they weren’t worth U.S. lives.
he obviously has no issue with all the money disappearing
US skepticism in foreign affairs is well documented historically
The New York Times ran polls and Americans were 2:1 against involvement in WW2 even when the Nazis were on the march across Europe.
It’s Mark Levin and the neocons who are out of step!!
There’s also the Washington speech I posted in the OP. Mark is well read. He surely knows all this
