There have been thousands of confusing things about the political alliances of the past 40 years: #1 has to be the close friendship between Republicans and their supposed arch-enemy the Russians. 80-years of pretending to hate communism and socialism (except when it can be used to shore-up stupid decisions by their 1% masters) and suddenly the craziest, far-rightest (and wrong-est) Republicans like batshit insane Russian spokeswhacko Liar Tuck, Margie Taylor Greene, Humpty Trumpy, and the rest of the MAGAt clown car practically worship Putin and his totalitarian style of “government” to the point that they repeatedly wish out-loud and in public that the US was more like Russia. Their political position, apparently, represents the minority of Americans but the majority of Repuglicans: “The level of support among Republicans for the US giving military aid has also declined: 55% were found to be in favor compared to 68% in July and 80% in March. Similarly, 50% of Republicans backed the US giving economic assistance, down from 64% in July and 74% in March.” [2022-12-20 Chicago Council on Global Affairs poll]
Putin isn’t known for putting up with either failure or dissention. In his rage at the incompetence of his overpaid, low-skill military and the Ukraine invasion “plans” that so obviously were drawn up in crayon by demented children, Putin is lashing out in lots of directions, including purging members of the Party’s in-house media. In the past, Putin has shown little restraint when it came to wiping out his past associates, including his billionaire buddies who either failed to properly support his insanity or just pissed him off for random reasons.
Which brings me to my point. After the millions invested in getting Donny Trump elected in 2016 and even more wasted on the 2020 election, why is Vladimir being so patient with his useful idiot and the rest of that rat pack of MAGA morons today? You’d think, after ruthlessly running Russia for more than 20 years with the kinds of jackbooted brutal tactics he’s so well known for, why is Vlad being so patient with his Repuglican nitwits? The man is clearly on his way out, even his US spokes-idiots at FOX know he is about to bail. The boy is either going to be locked up or will make a run to retire in South America, Trotsky-style, according to an assortment of Russian insiders. [That last option and reference is ironic, since Trotsky was a Ukraine-born Russian Revolution democratic-socialist founder whose parents were Russian-Jewish.]
You’d think, while he still has the tools available, he’d take out at least a little of his frustration on the MAGA idiots who screwed up so badly that they cost Putin the 2020 election and, as a result, the Ukraine invasion. Let’s face the facts, if Trump hadn’t been such a fuckup, the odds are pretty good that he could have at least beaten Biden in the anti-democratic Electoral Congress. If the pack of NewsMax/Fox goobers and the other Republican nutjobs hadn’t gone so far into Crazyville that they turned off the never-Trumpers so badly they either didn’t vote in 2020 or actually voted for Biden, Putin would have had help in invading Ukraine. Trump and his fascist MAGAts would have (and are) cheered the invasion and relished the downfall of a democratically elected government in eastern Europe. They might have even provided Russia with military and financial assistance in the invasion. Why isn’t Putin at least a little pissed out that? Based on his history, you’d think Donny would have fallen out of a hospital upper floor window, fallen out of a luxury private ship and drowned, hung themselves or committed some other suspicious suicide, or been overdosed or mugged and knifed in a Florida alley. Why is Vlad so tolerant of idiot Repuglicans and so pissed off at his fellow Russians who had a lot less to do with Russia’s failure in Ukraine?
