Trump, allies defend or deflect Putin’s invasion
For decades, the Republican Party has stood for being tough on Communism, and the Democrats, fairly or unfairly, were often criticized for a softer approach.
But there is another Republican faction, generally aligned with a certain former president, that doesn’t particularly care about Ukraine, and believes its base doesn’t much care either.
They raised no objection when Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin is a "genius," and "very savvy," for his handling of Ukraine and framing the invasion as a "peacekeeping" mission (which is, of course, an outright lie). Noticeably missing from the Putin praise in that radio interview was even the mildest disapproval for one country using force to seize territory from a sovereign neighbor.

If Obama ever called Putin "genius," "savvy," "so smart," some of you here would be having a fit.
In particular, some of you Trump supporters have been rabid going after Bernie Sanders/AOC/BLM for socialism, communism, etc. I wonder how you feel about your cult leader praising Putin.
So what is happening with the Republican Party???
