Focus on this: This Putin stooge was Trump’s first choice for National Security Advisor. That’s after Russian intelligence helped elect Trump. And now much of MAGA is pro-Putin. Must be the most successful intelligence operation in history. https://t.co/wCG2z9Kfwb

There is a pro-Putin axis developing in America. And it’s no accident. ⁦@djrothkopf⁩ details Putin’s influence in the MAGA GOP. It also runs through the Tech Bros, libertarians and into the peace movements. Some are consciously allying, some duped. https://t.co/3IgaUZ2XBB

In March, 9% of GOP leaners said we were spending too much on Ukraine.

In May: 17%

Last month: 32%

The signs are there that a GOP majority might move to restrict/withhold aid. Now McCarthy is admitting as much.https://t.co/eJDgHe1h2f

I suggest every American who wants to know what’s *actually* going on in Russia and Ukraine, read this transcript of Putin’s address. As I’ve said for month— NATO (under direction from the United States) is violating previous agreements and expanding eastward. WE are at fault. https://t.co/NDmou8I36H

In the aftermath of the Trump presidency, polls show more Republicans have a favorable view of Vladimir Putin than of their own President of the United States.

This is perfect example of successful Putin efforts to destabilize @GOP & America as unified force for democracy. Press Sec for potential presidential candidate delivering Putin talking points. Collapse of @GOP as pro-democracy force is historic win for Putin & other dictators. https://t.co/14vJ2TUtlm

Putin's approval rating with Republicans on 2015 was 12% before Trump came along.

By mid-2017 it shot up to over 30%.

The current GOP who likes to call themselves “Patriots” approve of Communist Putin more than Democratic Biden.
