Having slept on it and then deciding that she’s still fucking out of her mind with rage no matter what after the House approved the long-delayed aid package to Ukraine on Saturday, white nationalist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday insisted that letting Putin conquer a democratic neighbor was the popular position, despite poll after poll finding on questions about aid finding respondents in favor of increasing US support for a besieged ally running low on ammo.
Setting aside the not-insignificant possibility she’s literally getting paid by Russia vs the maybe slightly more realistic one of her simply freelancing for them, it’s still insane to see Greene and her ilk riffing on Michael Moore and other anti-war libs circa 2005. But even that shit they get wrong. This isn’t Vietnam or Iraq where the “imperial crusade” was launched on the American side. It’s the actually evil empire in Moscow that created the “quagmire.” This is a just cause – especially when no American troops are being put at risk – and it’s utterly demented to be appropriating the other side’s old rhetoric about a military-industrial complex unresponsive to the popular position among voters. If anything taking six fucking months longer than it was supposed to is what was unresponsive.
