Look. There was a lot of leftists out here giving the GoP too much shine and too much rub with their claiming of the Donbass war money funneling is wrong.

If the red wave happened; they would NOT have ended the funneling of weapons and cash to the ukraine.

They would have blamed the dems for starting shit and causing a moral trap and NOW we cant pull out because we have to RELUCTANTLY fight the Russians instead of being enthusiastic about it.

And Im frankly done playing along with the anti imperialist left giving the GoP way too much credit simply because the republicans are morally lucky and currently morally advantaged.

These MAGA politicians are not some right wing populist thing that we should BELIEVE them about their whole anti war posturing. Stop. They’re full of shit and just as fake as the squad and Bernie.

    Just to further elaborate on your point: folks from outside the US who don’t follow US politics and USAmericans who have not yet been conscious for a couple US elections cycles, at times, take what members of either major party say far too seriously. They may see some ’new’ GOP anti-war talking point as novel when in reality it’a just further empty catering to the anti-war opinion generally held by the majority of USAmericans at any given time. But believing there is any separation between the two major US parties on ‘international affairs’ is incorrect. Those aren’t political decisions to be made with input from the public or the vast majority of politicians for that matter. In the US, people get to (indirectly by supporting some lizard who will undoubtedly say anything to get elected) vote on whether or not it’s appropriate for members of minority groups to be openly tortured, but that’s about it. Economics and international affairs are completely outside of the political sphere.
