Another example of how the GOP is pro-Russia

We know Trump is pro-Putin but he’s not the only Republican. Tucker Carlson is pro-Russia, too. If the Republicans win either or both houses of Congress, US support of Ukraine will be reduced or halted.

WTF did I just watch?

Tucker Carlson talked about Putin’s threat of nuclear weapons and said: “And Ukrainians, of course, are also making explicit nuclear threats.”

Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons, you POS scumbag Russian asset. @TuckerCarlson

NEW: House Republicans just rolled out their official "Commitment to America” plan for 2023 with an inspirational video chock full of scenes presented as exceptional imagery of America — but that are actually stock footage from Russia and Ukraine. https://t.co/xtQm52WWNp

I doubt this is a coincidence

Never forget, many Republicans currently in congress echo Russian talking points.
Watch this and remember @TuckerCarlson "Why shouldn't I be rooting for Russia?" https://t.co/xY1SX3YVBD

Biden deserves credit for his Ukraine policy

The media is too busy covering Trump to give it to him

Biden’s Ukraine policy may not win an election. But it matters anyway, @EJDionne writes. https://t.co/WK6SEsn0Tp

To the Republicans complaining about the billions the US is sending to Ukraine

I’m going to share with a private opinion from a knowledgeable European official I know

Basically, he starts off smiling and saying the US are “absolutely ruthless” with regard to the Ukraine war

It may be worth saying something out loud here.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is obviously the greatest international security crisis since 9/11.

And, at this point, it’s got to be said that Joe Biden and his team have handled it masterfully. 1/

Don’t say “Americans” when it’s clearly some Republicans and Fox News

Look at the comments on my tweet. They can’t defend Trump and Fox so they talk about Obama and Lyndon Johnson.

Don’t say Americans, say some Republicans and some people at Fox News.

Lying to your boss is not a good idea

I spent most of my career as an analyst working for management in the government. I found (somewhat surprisingly) that bosses appreciate it when you give them bad news. There are several reasons:

It gives them a chance to react and make the situation better
They should hear it from someone who works for them rather than an outsider. They don’t want to be caught offguard.

This applies to this situation. Putin’s employees should have told him the truth. If he discourages people from giving him bad news, that’s going to harm him in the long run (which is fine with me).

Analysis: U.S. says Putin aides lie to him. Big, if true.https://t.co/o2b7d6P6bC
