    Thats assuming the republicans and tankies WANT Putin’s army destroyed. To them, this sounds like what a normal person would hear if we said: “We’ve used 5% of our defense budget to arm the IRA and 50% of Britain’s army has been destroyed.”

      Now hold on, is funding the IRA on the table?

        Yes, but only $6,500 per person, and it is only tax deductible if you don’t give it to a guy named Roth.

          Roth is a true homie, you take that back! His tax deductibleness is way better in the long run in most circumstances.

      It’s only Republican politicians who are in love with Russia. Everyone else still hates them due to Cold War propaganda.

        Plenty of leftist-Tankies here on Lemmy’s federation where I’ve had to explain that yes, Russia is a problem and what they’re doing to Ukraine should be stopped.

        The left is doing a good job preventing the Tankies from taking over their party however. Republicans are letting the far-right dictate politics and are likely going to (try to) cut Ukraine out of the budget this week. So the far-right is a bigger problem, if only because Republicans are failing to rise up and counter the threat from their own party.

        No, Republicans are in love with Putin. Putin hates Russia, Republican do the same.
