[Putin] once again portrayed his country as the victim, claiming it was the West, and not Russia, that had started the war in Ukraine. Russia, said the president, was just trying to stop it.
The Russians dragged in the American ambassador to complain about the West supplying weapons to Ukraine and demanded that we stop so the Russians can conquer Ukraine. Well, that's not exactly what they demanded, but it was the essence of it.
DeSantis channelled his inner Lindberg/Chamberlain to say that Russia was not a threat and that we should have stood by and let them conquer and rape Ukraine. Because, it seems, that Republicans are against any war that doesn't benefit ExxonMobil or Halliburton.
But that's par for the course with the far Right. If a cop interrupted some guy raping a woman behind a dumpster, those clowns would be arguing that the cop shouldn't have interrupted the act in progress.

Fair enough. The US ambassador should have said the the United States will stop supplying arms as soon as Russia withdraws from all Ukrainian territory, including Crimea. Easy Peasy.
Don't worry about gift wrapping my Nobel Peace Prize.
It is no accident that Putin beats the drum for Christian Extremism and Homophobia so hard. That plays well both at home and with the MAGAts.
