Vladimir Putin is obsessed with seeing democracy as a global
entity fail. This is nothing new. Well before his relentless crusade to get
Donald Tmurp elected president, Putin’s prime objective was weakening
democracy. No better stooge could have been created to accelerate Putin’s
mission than a brain-dead, narcissistic, autocrat-wannabe conman.
So, we expect Putin to attack democracy. What we did not
expect, though we really should have, was Putin not being the biggest threat to
democracy, particularly in America. The most clear and present danger to
American democracy is Donald Tmurp’s Ratpublican Party. This massive cadre of
fascistic white nationalists, that has infiltrated our government at the
highest levels, and has an enormous propaganda machine, is shamelessly
fomenting civil war. They are determined to take this country back in time to
when they thought America was great before. Today’s Ratpublican Party has done
everything short of supporting the return of slavery.
By many accounts, including some of Putin’s close advisors (all of whom, one imagines, must fear for their lives every waking moment, not to mention being awakened by hellish nightmares based on real stories of past associates), Putin is rapidly approaching Tmurp-like levels of mental incapacity. Perhaps the most telling example of Putin’s alternative facts is his insistence that he is merely trying to stop Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, and his neo-Nazi regime from committing (non-existent) genocide in Ukraine. There's lying, and then there's looney toons.
While American autocrats
are working to re-litigate the Civil War, the Russian strongman is trying to
get the SSR back together, even if he has to wipe out most of their
populations. Vlad the Mad has also threatened historic conflagration should
anyone dare stand against him.
“Whoever tries to hinder us, and even more so, to create
threats to our country, to our people, should know that Russia's response will
be immediate. And it will lead you to such consequences that you have never
encountered in your history. We are ready for any development of events. All
the necessary decisions have been made in this regard. I hope that I will be
heard.”
Vladimir J. Putin February 24, 2022
Guess
these two use the same writers
Most of the Ratpublican Duma is vigorously siding with
Putin. Let us not forget that the moment Barack Obama became president,
countless Ratpublicans and their media enablers began singing the praises of
Putin, while denigrating Obama at every turn, and down every straightaway.
Then, Tmurp surrounded himself with Russophiles like Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn,
Steve Bannon and others too numerous to mention. Once installed as president
despite losing the popular vote handily, Tmurp took up Putin’s causes while weaking
the United States with impunity. So here we are.
King Ratpublican Tmurp made his feelings known as Putin
surrounded Ukraine, poised to initiate the most illegal war-of-choice since
Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq. Here’s what the Toxic Twit had to say about his
benefactor,
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I
said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine—of Ukraine.
Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now
saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine. I said, ‘How smart is
that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s the strongest peace
force. We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force
I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna
keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy, I
know him very well. Very, very well.”
From Newt Gingrich, to Lindsey Graham, to Josh Hawley, to the
GQP House Caucus, to John Bolton (remember this no-nothing asshole?), to Mike
Pompeo, Ratpublicans of all smells are rushing to microphones to call Joe Biden
weak and ineffective, and Putin strong and masterful. For his part, Pompeo, a
recent secretary of state and former CIA chief, recently gushed on Fux News
that Putin “was a very talented statesman” who “has lots of gifts.” Pompeo
added, “He was a KGB agent, for goodness sakes. He knows how to use power. We
should respect that.” Respect is not exactly the first word that leaps to my
mind, but then I still have at least minimal control of my faculties. And,
despite its many faults, I’ll still take the U.S. over Russia.
While another ex-secretary of state Condoleezza Rice has
called Putin “megalomaniacal,” Pompeo has praised him as “very shrewd” and “very
capable.” Putin’s media outlets are replaying clips on a loop of Pompeo's
praise on Russian
state TV. So Makeshift Mike must be right.
In another interview last week, Pompeo said, “I have
enormous respect for him – I've been criticized for saying that.” This is how
today’s Ratpublicans run for president.
Fucker Carlson cannot imagine why everyone is being so mean
to Putin, “asking” his audience, “Why should I hate Putin?” Followed by a
laundry list (in question form of course – does this pinhead think he’s always
on Jeopardy?) of things Putin didn’t do to poor little trust fund baby Fucker.
“Did he ever call me a racist? Has he ever tried to get me fired for
disagreeing with him?…yada, yada, yada.” Hey Fucker, you might want to know
that Putin doesn’t get people fired for disagreeing with him – he gets them
dead, you ignorant slut.
Insurrectionist fan-boy Josh Hawley was a bit less
obsequious, “America has an interest in Ukraine’s independence and territorial
integrity, and we have a strong interest in deterring Russian adventurism. But
these interests are not so great that we should commit ourselves to fight
Russia over Ukraine’s future.” Funny thing, Joe Biden specifically stated that
we have no intention of fighting Russia. With senators like this, who needs
democracy?
I. Mangrey recoiling. Let’s agree to disagree dispose of them. Electorally, of course.
