At his CPAC speech on Saturday, former President Donald Trump could not have been clearer in his denunciation of Vladimir Putin. "The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling,” said Trump. “it's an outrage and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur.”
Yet the fact that Trump called Putin “smart” and “savvy” is, for the New York Times, prima facie evidence of his affection for Mother Russia. Indeed, the Times had the nerve to run a delusional op-ed on Sunday headlined, “How the American Right Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Russia.”
Earth to the New York Times: No one on the right is pulling for Putin. The Times is pushing this Russia-love narrative both to salvage some political gain from Biden’s catastrophic foreign policy and to cover for its own historic indifference to the Ukrainian people.
The truth is that British and American conservatives have long cared about the Ukraine. Most still do. The international left, the New York Times in particular, cared more about the success of Josef Stalin’s lethal policies than it did the millions of Ukrainians those policies killed.
The New York Times Moscow correspondent, Walter Duranty, admitted to being “pleased as punch” when Stalin announced his Five-Year Plan in the fall of 1928. Stalin, as Duranty observed in his well-titled book, I Write as I Please, was the world’s “greatest living statesman.” A pioneer in the art of fake news, Duranty saw signs of greatness in Stalin’s plan “to socialize, virtually overnight, a hundred million of the stubbornest and most ignorant peasants in the world.”

They are pushing the narrative so they can later say…”if you vote for Trump or any other Republican you must love Russia”
And most likely a cover for any Ukrainian who is caught up in the Durham investigation.
I have no strong opinion of Ukraine or Russia.
Speaking of the Times...

I don’t know what’s actually happening in Ukraine because our media is corrupt as hell, Ukraine’s media is corrupt as hell, and Russia’s media is corrupt as hell.

Good morning to everyone - yep - still care 1000x more about our wide open southern border, runaway inflation, soaring gas prices, rising crime, a basement dummy in the White House, mass government corruption, fair elections, and our nation’s huge fentanyl problem - than Ukraine.

If you don’t support us fracking, drilling, and opening up all pipelines so we don’t have to buy oil from Putin - you’re the Putin puppet.
If you support a green energy solution where we still have to buy our oil from Putin - you’re the Putin puppet.
Welcome to reality.

They flip flopped when they found out that the Biden family cartel relies on the Ukraine for their survival. Especially their drug addict, finger painter, Hunter.
The New York Slimes? Are they even relevant?
Exactly correct.
Best would be for negotiations, declare victory on all sides, have Russian troops leave Ukraine.
NYT perpetually and purposely shallow in understanding either Trump or the right. Third-graders masquerading as sophomores.
We watched the 2020 movie he mentions, Mr. Jones, last night. Excellent.
Yes the same one. You ask if they are even relevant. My answer is: Not to me.
Neither do I. Most of the crowd championing the Ukrainians last week couldn’t have found Ukraine on a map as big as a barn door and now suddenly it’s the most important thing in the world.
Afghanistan. Remember that? That’s off the front page. Southern border?
What southern border? We don’t have one anymore. It’s “C’mon in!’’.
Tell me this sisn’t going to lead to another 9/11.
It’s life imitating “Wag the Dog”.
Yeah. Wagging a pit bull’s tail.
