I wonder what the motivation is for various elements of the US right to be so committed to the anti-Ukrainian side. I can understand isolationism as a political or strategic position, but why the need to shade the truth?
The motivation for the Russians or Ukrainians to lie is obvious. I can even understand why someone that wants to see the Russian military degraded by a long drawn out war or that wants to see Russia destabilized by a humiliating loss would shade the truth, but I don’t understand what US conservatives gain by seeing Ukraine lose.
Surely just a reflexive opposition to whatever the Democrats support is insufficient to explain this.
They’ve been fooled by the belief that Russia is fighting for Christianity, against Soros and gay culture. of course Putin cares about none of that or very little of it and it certainly is not the reason that he is invading Ukraine.
Likewise none of that has anything to do with why I believe it’s in our national security interests to thwart Russia in Ukraine.
