Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
josh:
As Putin prepped and then launched the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many top conservatives (a) rushed to his defense and (b) blamed Biden for it.
But whether, as the GOP would have it, this only happened because of Biden's weakness, or this only happened because of GOP coddling of and support for Putin, it has happened.
The truth of the matter is that it shouldn't matter whether our president is strong or weak or our opposition party is encouraging and complicit or supportive of the occupant of the White House. The person responsible for this invasion is Vladimir Putin, would-be President-for-Life of Russia.
What do you think should be our response at this point and what, if anything, should the NATO response be?

The bulk of the responses are anti-Putin, but that doesn't mean they are mostly prepared to blast Trump for his support.
One group of the GOP is practicing what used to be standard operating procedure in such situations - criticizing the bad guy (Putin) and not playing politics with it at home. The other two groups are split between 'anti-Putin, 'anti-Biden' vs. anti-Biden,' pro-Putin.
