Given the choice, I’d rather be a democrat.
Expected along with the rest of major GOP stakeholders, but Putin makes it official and endorses Trump. Notes Trump will force Ukraine to surrender to Russia, which makes Putin happy.

Donald Trump cites Putin as a defense against his indictments: “Yesterday, President Putin of Russia used this as an example of what a rotten country we are that they go after their political opponent...They love it because it makes us look very bad.” pic.twitter.com/RgCjwimFs4
These men, named James T. Alicie and Richard M. Birchfield, are a perfect encapsulation of the way Donald Trump has transformed the Republican Party in his image — abandoning its traditional positions on issues ranging from Russia to trade in favor of Trump’s positions on these issues. The photo is also an extremely clear way of understanding how deep hatred of Democrats is warping the Republican Party, part of a phenomenon political scientists call “negative partisanship.”
OK. I’m really struggling to understand this. The last couple of days, Patriots
In any other time or context, war criminal Putin endorsing any candidate would be a warning & automatically disqualifying. Today, it doesn't mean much for the GOP. If Trump wins, he will easily hand over Ukraine to Russia. He's a traitor.
2024 GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy — who has repeatedly said he is in favor of freezing the lines of control right now, allowing Russia to keep Eastern Ukraine — is asked why Putin wouldn't just invade the rest of the country: “I'm not saying [Putin] can have Eastern Ukraine.” pic.twitter.com/nbdQm5XaYX
dude dresses like Fetterman!
He reasoned his proposal by saying that, allegedly, various conflicts are always taking place on the territory of independent countries, formerly occupied republics.
Therefore, it would be "logical" to bring them back under Moscow's control, even if Russia has to go to war with each of these countries. Fedorov stated that the republics left the USSR illegally, and therefore, Russia allegedly has the right to take them back.
The current invasion of Ukraine is the beginning of such a return, he believes. Who/what could be the prime reason for causing conflicts in the post-Soviet states, one has to wonder?

According to Fyodorov rock music is "U.S.-instigated sabotage".[4] After Russian rock musician Andrey Makarevich performed for Ukraine's internally displaced people in the Ukrainian town Slovyansk during the war in Donbass in August 2014 Fyodorov vowed to introduce legislation to strip Makarevich of all Russian state honors because his performance in Slovansk was "collaborating with the fascists".[4][5]
In January 2022, during the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, he proposed, among other things, to use nuclear weapons against the Nevada Test Site or to bomb American army laboratories as a warning.[11]
In June 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Fyodorov called for the independent, free status of Lithuania to be repealed. Lithuania got its independence back in 1991 after it was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, but Fyodorov claimed that when Lithuania got its independence back, this was done in an illegal way, because it was Russia, as the successor state of the Soviet Union, which should have been granting Lithuania freedom.[12] His argument about Russia being a successor state was based on an amendment to the Russian constitution in 2020.[13] He also argued that the State Council of the Soviet Union, which granted the independence, was not mentioned in the Constitution of the Soviet Union, and therefore was unconstitutional. Further, Fyodorov claimed that Lithuania is a "disputed entity" and therefore according to article 6 of the North Atlantic Treaty cannot be a member of NATO.[citation needed] A spokesperson for the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry characterized his claims as "absurd".[14] On June 14, the day of the 1941 deportation by the USSR of tens of thousands of people to Siberia from occupied Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, he threatened to propose similar laws to the Duma regarding Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine.[15]
