Scott Horton is the most eloquent defender of the "Russia was pressured, what did we expect" view. Agree or disagree with Scott, he is logical, can make complex moral arguments, and doesn't demean his opponent.
But even Scott prefaces all his arguments with "I still do not condone what Russia has done".
The Trump crowd has thrown even that disclaimer out the window. It's now full 180° moral inversion, all the way.
Thanks, Brian. Your voice is among a small number that the Lord has used to keep me spiritually and psychologically afloat in these dark times. I'm accustomed to Trump being Trump. But, like you, I will never get used to people I love and respect being given over to this moral inversion, political idolatry, and stunning stupidity.
It was riveting -- and eye opening, as usual. But, some things I wonder about is how Israel and Gaza are doing these days. Also other countries where there are terrible wars or cruelty. Africa. Or what China does to those people whose tribe begins with U, I forget. All we look at is Ukraine and Russia -- though I agree that it seems disastrous. I saw in the Oregonian newspaper a call for Dems to gather forces to oppose T. Surely he will be impeached shortly, I'd think. I do see a lot of news about T taking sledge hammer to gov't here.
It is a shock. Good example:

Oof. Especially the closing lines.
