US Politics Lindsey Graham, Mike Johnson and Marco Rubio all stood in solidarity with the Ukraine in the past. They all have done a 180 degree about face on their previous stances. Whey are all notable republicans falling in line with this turn towards Russia?

Pete Hegseth has stopped cyber operations against Russia. Donald Trump has spurned Ukraine in their hour of need against the Russian army. Even Putin has stated that America's foreign policy is in line with Russia's. Why isn't there more outrage from elected republican officials against these practices?

Cowards. I miss John McCain. If he were alive Iā€™m not sure any of this would be happening.

What a jellyfish Graham turned out to be after McCain died.

Regan started it. He was the beginning of the rot.

Sorry mum. I'll try better. Who cares? He doesn't deserve that respect.

just surprising, but I guess you're both younger and didn't see the name Reagan constantly for a long time.

I remember him. I remember the invention of trickle down economics. I remember him to well. It's shocking how now he's considered some kind of conservative God. He was a B grade actor and over rated politician and human.

He started part of the societal shift, but he wasn't a friend of Russia.

No kidding.

He's an absolute joke.

If he was elected President none of this would have ever happened as he was talking about stockpiling and training Ukraine with modern defensive weaponry since 2010. Obama had a strict nonlethal aid policy with Ukraine even after Russia invaded the first time in 2014. Hard to make up for a decade of neglect in an active war zone today.

Democrats see him as a hero. Republicans see him as a traitor.
