Man, you just have to be the biggest rube in the universe to think that Trump is halting Ukraine aid because Zelensky didn't wear a tie or kiss the ring.

The next biggest rubes are people who think that the administration and Trump apologists actually believe that's why aid must be cut.

Putin wants aid to be cut because Ukraine is striking targets in Russia with impunity, and capturing Russian territory in a manner that Russia cannot effectively address with their hollowed-out military.

These are the lies they arm their supporters with, so when their supporters speak to their family and friends, they don't sound like absolute garbage people who support putin and want Ukraine destroyed. No one believes this stuff.

Is "their President didn't wear a suit to the White House" a lie that makes them sound LESS like garbage people? As lies go, "Ukraine started the war so we shouldn't help them" seems more defensible than "Russia started the war but I don't like the way Zelensky dresses".

No, it's simply an excuse they can offer to avoid the actual truth. They'll create a rolodex of lies, if needed. The lies don't have to be believable. There is not a single living person on this planet who actually believes Ukraine started the war. We all know this. Hence, the lies.

You underestimate the power of propaganda. The Chinese government has successfully convinced hundreds of millions of its citizens that the Tianenmen Square massacre never happened. I have no doubt that there are tens of millions of Americans who believe Trump when he says Ukraine started the war.

It's also why the maga crowd is always so angry. They've been repeating these types of lies over and over and can't ever quite seem to convince themselves.

What of platforms that call for Zelensky to apologize or resign, in the name of personal liberties and free markets. At least we must presume this is what the platform supports since its owner has stated that its opinion pages are for PL&FM, with alternative opinions left to be expressed elsewhere.

And? These platforms are wrong,complicit and part of the smoke and mirrors show tWump and pals are launching to finally deliver Ukraine to Putin and he wont stop. This is intolerable, despicable and should not stand . People need to condemn these rogue behavior by our so called Democratic Republic .
