Will the Word 'Avdiivka' Be Met By a Standing Ovation at the Republican Convention This Summer
The MAGidiots have accomplished little but they have made Putin very happy.
Brave defenders of democracy. Selfless. Strong. Heroes, even?
Cowards. Defenders of autocracy and state-organized terrorism. Haters of America.
The first line describes the defenders of Ukraine’s independence. Men and boys who should be with their families enjoying life are instead bleeding out in filthy basements protecting their mothers, sisters, and children from the raping, genociding Russian killers. The MAGidiots in Congress regard those killers as “good guys,” merely misunderstood. They look to the cowardly leader of those barely literate killers as a “true leader,” and one that they would love to have in the U.S. Vladimir Putin regularly does well in opinion polls with MAGidiots. They like his anti-LGBTQ approach; they think he is strong and decisive. He is, of course, not strong, and many aides have complained that he is debilitatingly indecisive.
We know that the Republicans in Congress have no allegiance to the United States. They refused to impeach a president who led an insurrection against our nation. With no regard for the Constitution, Trump did what no president in 245 years had done: He tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Openly backing Putin by refusing to support Ukraine is treasonous. It is a level of ignorance that will one day result in the U.S. and Russian troops meeting on the battlefield — Republicans will then, of course, blame Democrats for World War III.
Moscow’s advances since then have been incremental and are unlikely to be rapid in the short-term but hold-ups in Western aid for Kyiv threaten to hand Vladimir Putin the initiative.
The Institute for the Study of War said Tuesday that Russian forces are exploiting tactical opportunities opened up by Avdiivka’s seizure and are trying to push as far as possible into the surrounding area before Ukrainian forces establish more cohesive defensive lines.
The previous day, Ukrainian Tavriisk Group of Forces spokesman Dmytro Lykhovyi said his troops had withdrawn from Stepove, around eight miles north of Avdiivka. Meanwhile, Russian sources have claimed Moscow’s seizure of Tonenke to the south and other surrounding areas (Ukraine’s Frontline Is Collapsing).
When the Republican Putinists, it seems Mitch McConnell is about to join their ranks as he is in talks for supporting Trump (!), meet at their convention later this summer, how many of them will give a raucous ovation when the “great victory of Avdiika is mentioned? They will be cheering Moscow’s victory, which finally collapsed the front and ended the war in Putin’s favor! Something the Trumpists and MAGidiots wanted all along.
And how are our fellow Democrats trying to prevent a second Trump presidency? They are agitating people in Michigan not to vote for Biden in November!
How f****** stupid and naive are we?
