I’ve been saying this for weeks! Nothing helps Putin and Russia more than stupid Americans empowering Republicans. Give Republicans the House? Military funding for Ukraine will dry up. Give them the White House in 2024? And they’ll actively work to undermine NATO and help Putin win.

But gas prices, inflation, CRT, crime, trans sports, dominion voting machines, and something something (whatever conservative media focuses on to distract millions).

I know. I’ve been trying to keep abreast of this trend as well. Assuming a GOP House in 2023, with a MAGA wing more vocal than ever, I don’t see how it can help.

Kevin McCarthy’s warning of no ‘blank check’ and progressive Democrats’ premature call for negotiations were unfortunate

Yep. And conservative media when the time is right, will convince its zombie viewers to stop supporting Ukraine. It’s only a matter of time. Heck, it’s already happening according to the link you posted above. It’s the exact same playbook they’ve used repeatedly for decades.

It’s no secret who Putin is targeting here. His speech yesterday wasn’t directed at anyone in Europe…

But gas prices, inflation, CRT, crime ...

Yes, exactly! Finally you are starting to get it even if the party you support is still clueless. Gas prices, inflation, concerns of educators teaching children to hate each other based on skin color, and crime are more important issues to the American voters across party lines and demographic groups.

Black Voters Are Shifting Right and the Left Is Losing It

The economy and inflation edge out voting rights and abortion as extremely important for Black voters, according to recent CNN polling.

Fascinating article. When Fiona Hill speaks, everyone should listen. I think she’s onto something here.

Fiona Hill: ‘Elon Musk Is Transmitting a Message for Putin’

Eight months into Russia’s war against Ukraine, POLITICO talks to the Russia analyst about whether Putin’s aims are evolving and what it would take to end the war.

Another serious strategic defeat for Russia. They've been preparing for this for a while. It's interesting they announced it the day after the US elections...

Arguably the biggest winner from the midterms is Ukraine. Had there been a large MAGA wave, I think there would’ve been a guarantee that they would’ve lost aid. Now? There’s only a solid chance that the GOP cuts their aid.

Russia just hit Poland

I'm not the expert on how NATO will approach this as I know any attack on a NATO member is considered an attack on all, but assuming this was an 'accident', my guess is it won't change the game too much.

"accident" no..... It is political chess

So far, it seems to be a single missile, about 3 miles from the border, and that it is Russian is unconfirmed. Even if it was Russian, it's probably accidental.
