How MAGA and the Kremlin manufactured a reason to stop sending aid to Ukraine, excuse their poor performance in the midterms and justify upcoming House investigations of Democrats.
When finally catching up to the recent history of Ukraine in the 90s, I noticed, they never got a chance to NOT be on the receiving end of a process where Russia was incentivized to (a) corrupt their politics (b) then claim this corruption proved that they were a weak identity as a nation/state.
This cycle of abusive situation-creation and subsequent blame goes all to well with libertarian experimentation in public-service abolition; one of many reasons libertarians and Putinites were drawn to each other a dozen years ago, especially in the south and midwest.
