Summary
Donald Trump defended Russia’s massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine that followed his administration’s halt to intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv, saying Putin was “doing what anybody would do.”
Trump told reporters he finds it “easier” to work with Russia than Ukraine, claiming Putin “wants to end the war.”
While threatening vague sanctions against Russia on social media, Trump’s actual actions have targeted Ukraine, including cutting off military supplies and disabling Ukraine’s access to satellite imagery.
Ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered battlefield setbacks as a direct result of these U.S. policy changes.
What about that is right-wing?
The United States has a history of organizing campaigns to crush terrorist organizations. A month ago, the United States designated six cartels as terrorist organizations, which prompted Mexico to issue a warning about the United States attempting any sort of invasion or incursion. This is also occuring in tandem with the current President of the United States going on about taking Greenland and Panama, and how Canada should be part of the United States, which was also interpreted as a suggestion of a hostile takeover.
And then there are reports of them having been mulling options since November, talk of it by political candidates in 2023, talk by sitting members of Congress and even legislation introduced in support of it within Congress.
Not so curiously, these acts have been exclusively done by Republicans, also known as the Right-Wing.
Of course, if you could show that Democrats were as keen on the idea of invading Mexico, then calling it right-wring would be in error.
When your response to complicated situation that could be solved with non-violence is to send in the military - that’s right wing
