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.”

Anybody with half a brain can see that the Ukraine Project was a money-laundering scheme and lots of unsavory pockets (including Zelensky’s) were lined handsomely as a result.
Was Mark on the take?
Levin wants Americans to die fighting for Ukraine?
Levin wants nuclear war?
Putin Derangement Syndrome? Blinded by hatred?
Because he's a neocon advancing Deep State lies.
I never liked Mark anyway. He’s too chicken to debate anyone. He has a number for liberals to call. Yet, if they do, he calls them names and hangs up on them.
Hey Mark STFU Ukraine is a HUGE money laundering scheme Trump KNOWS this and you have NO CLUE what the hell you are talking about!! My firm belief is that Putin went into Ukraine BECAUSE of the Bio Labs that OUR damn country put there after Covid Putin didn’t want that crap released into Russia JMO!!!
Tucker Carlson just interviewed a Jewish guy and he revealed some alarming facts about Zelensky. Not having an election is almost a minor detail compared to the rest of what Zelensky is doing. Zelensky is trying to destroy that old Christian church in Ukraine and replace it with a state run church.
For some reason, Levin always becomes unhinged when he talks about Ukraine. Putin is a dictator and so is Zelensky. Ukraine is definitely not a democracy.
“I don’t know why there are people that not only oppose Zelensky, but seem to support Putin,” said Levin.
Well, perhaps 5 out of 350M people.
“Frankly, I would have been happy to let Iraq keep Kuwait. They weren’t our ally, and they weren’t worth U.S. lives.”
I think one concern was that he would digest Kuwait and Hussein’s next meal would be Saudi Arabia. I don’t care about SA per se, but access to oil was important at that time.
Everyone here was a neocon unless they were a Buchanan brigader until Trump came along.
“But we aren’t sending Putin military aid and claiming to support a democracy. We are sending it to Ukraine claiming to support a democracy which hasn’t been one in sometime.”
Good point.
“Sadly, Sebastian Gorka was also vehemently supporting Zelensky early on.”
An early perception was that Russia might try to forcibly re-assemble the Soviet Union, one state at a time.
The counter is that we agreed to no NATO expansion to Russia’s border if the Warsaw Pact nations and Soviet Republics were freed. That story came out later.
A Ukraine-Russia war looked likely as Obama left and Trump came in. Trump quickly brought peace. Biden brought war. Hold fast to these essential facts.
All in all, I prefer peace to WWIII.
Most of the worst pogroms took place in the territory that is now Ukraine. Jew hatred is much more embedded in Ukraine, than almost any other country’s history.
He even made fun of us freepers when he was on his pro ted cruz anti trump rant. I remember listening to it as i was driving home on the Pacific Coast highway one evening
Lets all remember when Mark was backing Rubio for President. 🙄
Levin is again correct.
When it comes to Trump or Levin I’m taking Trump’s side.
Bookie winks
If I recall right Levin had a hard on for Trump in his first run.
Hell no!
If you wait long enough, these idiots out themselves. He’s done it before. They change with whichever way the wind blows.
