In what has quickly turned into a new measure of loyalty to Donald Trump and his nationalist takeover of the Republican Party, Trumpists and “conservatives” have been cheering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Nationalist cheerleaders of Trump’s brand of conservatism such as Josh Hawley, Tucker Carlson, and other Trumpists and “conservatives” are slamming the Western response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine while praising Russian President Vladimir Putin — with Donald Trump leading the way.
In an interview on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show,” Trump called Putin a “genius” for his handling of Ukraine — which is saying something coming from the guy who often declared himself to be “a very stable genius” — and for good measure, he also repeated his claim that the 2020 election was stolen and that if he had remained president, Putin would never have attempted the invasion.

“I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’” he said. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.”
“I said, ‘How smart is that?’ He’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper,” added Trump, who regularly praised and sought close ties with Putin during his time in office. “That’s the strongest peace force. We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re going to keep peace, all right.” (emphasis added)
Hey Donnie, I thought your wall took care of the southern border.
Like any cult leader, Trump depends on an army of Kool-Aid-drinking followers who will parrot his nationalist gospel.
Right-wing commentator Candace Owens blasted the U.S. response in a series of tweets Tuesday, saying Americans should read a transcript of Putin’s address to the UN Security Council “to know what’s *actually* going on,” and claiming that potential NATO membership for Ukraine serves as a threat to Russia and means “WE are at fault.”
On his show Tuesday night, nationalist Tucker Carlson urged Americans to ask, “Why do I hate Putin?” and he questioned why it would be “disloyal” for “conservative” Americans to side with Russia over Ukraine if war breaks out.

Nationalist Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) — he has tied his political fortunes to Trumpism and nationalism — has also repeatedly criticized the U.S. treatment of Russia and said so again in a letter sent to Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier this month criticizing U.S. support for granting Ukraine NATO membership.
Ironically, this isn’t the first time Trump and his nationalist buddies in the Republican Party have picked Russia over Ukraine.
In late 2019, Trump’s was facing impeachment for withholding nearly $400 million in congressionally approved military aid in order to pressure Ukraine’s new president into launching an inquiry into his 2020 Democratic rival Joe Biden and Biden’s son.
In a lame attempt to change the narrative, Donald Trump and the Republican Party repeated an unfounded claim that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 elections. Of course, this accusation become the standard talking point as they looked for ways to defend Trump’s impeachable actions in the Ukraine scandal, but it also provided evidence of the disturbing trend within the Republican Party to embrace Russian propaganda for political gain and party preservation.
According to a U.S. Intelligence report at the time, accusations of Ukraine’s 2016 election interference was part of a Russian propaganda campaign designed to take the heat off their own election interference. And with Republicans desperate to avoid going the way of the dodos, they became willing participants in spreading Putin’s big lie.
Historically, GOP has been an acronym for Grand Old Party, and as visitors to my website know, it also stands for Gutless On Principles.
However, Washington Post columnist Max Boot came up with a much more frightening and dangerous acronym to describe the Republican Party’s devolution from conservatism to nationalism: “Gang of Putin.”
In his December 2019 column for RawStory.com, Boot explains:
“Of all the changes that have occurred in our politics since the rise of Donald Trump, the most gut-wrenching for me personally is to see the Republican Party transformed into the Kremlin’s ‘useful idiots.’ As a young refugee from the Soviet Union growing up in Southern California in the 1980s, I was attracted to the GOP because it was the party of moral clarity — the party willing to stand up to the ‘evil empire.’ How far we have come — in the wrong direction.” (emphasis added)
As president, Trump routinely praised Putin. “We have a Republican president who, while reluctantly acceding to sanctions against Russia, incessantly praises its dictator, Vladimir Putin — ‘a terrific person’ — tries to bring Putin back to the Group of Seven; conceals the details of their meetings,” Boot also wrote.
Trumpists and faux conservatives in the media were willing shills for Putin at the time. Calling concern over Russia an “obsession” of the Left, Tucker Carlson declared on his FOX News show that Putin didn’t hate America as much as the media does:
“For Chuck Todd and the rest of the dummies, Vladimir Putin isn’t a real person with actual ideas and priorities and a country and beliefs. No, he stopped being that long ago. He’s a metaphor, a living metaphor, he’s the boogeyman! Step out of line and you’re a traitor in league with Vladimir Putin! … The irony, of course, is that Putin, for all his faults, does not hate America as much as many of these people do. They really dislike our country. And they call other people traitors? Because they’re ‘mouthing the talking points of Putin!’ These are people who don’t know anything about Russia, who don’t speak Russian!” (emphasis added)
A few days prior to this broadcast, Carlson defended Trump against impeachment by openly rooting for Russia to defeat Ukraine, although he later claimed to be joking after taking some heat for it.
Do you remember when conservatives praised Ronald Reagan for referring to the U.S.S.R. as an “evil empire?” Yeah, me too!
What Trumpists and conservatives need to understand are the following simple things:
-Putin is invading Ukraine to de-Nazify it… so according to Putin, Ukraine is a NAZI country (they are not) and if you are a Nazi, you need to be BOMBED and re-educated into not being a Nazi and demilitarized (not allowed to have an army). Ask yourselves, are these the kind of words a conservative would use? “Ukraine is Nazi!” Putin is not what you think he is!
-Putin LIED! He is a dirty liar who has proven himself not to be trustworthy. He said the West is paranoid and delusional because he is just doing a military “exercises” and there are no invasion plans and they are just moving troops inside their own borders… yet here we are. He lied, he invaded Ukraine after all! Why would you trust a liar? We know you are looking for someone who to look up to but unfortunately that somebody doesn’t exist in our current world. Neither Biden nor Putin are on your side. Just because they are enemies, none of them are on our side. They are basically capitalists VS communists…. remember, We are neither capitalists nor communists! So to hell with both of them.
-The invasion of Ukraine has nothing to do with Politics or with NATO or with any alleged genocide or anything. This is just classical Russian imperialism. Land for Russia is the most important thing. That’s how they got so big in the first place by stealing from everyone around them, little by little. This is just a land grab, make no mistake about it.
-EVEN IF somehow Putin was right to absorb Ukraine into Russia, innocent people died, apartment buildings were bombed, even villages were bombed, there’s many video evidence on Twitter but we won’t share it here because Twitter is taking everything down so we will essentially just share a dead link.
-EVEN IF we say ok let them take Ukraine (though its completely unfair towards the Ukrainians), what guarantees do any of us have that Russia will stop at Ukraine? What if he moves to take Transnistria from Moldova or what about Moldova in its entirety. You people who support him, don’t know how Russians are. They would do anything for land. Land for them is like air. They cannot live without taking some land from somebody. 100 years cannot pass in Russia’s history without them taking some land. Russia does NOT have 100 consecutive years without them stealing some lands. Almost all countries of the world have such history yet Russia doesn’t… Russians who gave up on land are considered the worst traitors in their history, the czar who sold Alaska to USA is considered a traitor, Gorbachev who broke up the USSR which was basically bigger Russia, is also considered a traitor for giving lands away.
-What do you have to gain from this? Has Putin paid you? You wish! He never paid anyone a dime, he managed to trick the entire populist, nationalist movements of Europe and America into supporting him for free. He played himself as some sort of hero. The fact of the matter is, he is murdering both whites and gentiles now!!!!!!!! Here’s your hero!!!! Putin is neither pro-white nor pro-gentiles, he is just using these things for his own benefit.
-Why don’t the Ukrainians have a right to self-determination? Putin wants Ukraine absorbed into Russia but Ukraine does not want that. Why don’t they have the right to self-determination and not being part of Russia? Because some madmen said so? Who are you to determine in the name of Ukrainians who they should be a part of?
Remember this last point we made. Ukraine has a right to self-determination. Ukraine did want to join NATO to escape possible Russian invasion but Russia became aggressive and said NO. Ukraine then said ok ok no it is… yet Ukraine got invaded anyway. Now Putin again is lying, saying he is not planning to occupy Ukraine but that’s exactly what he will do. If any of you think he will not absorb Ukraine into Russia or at the very least install a puppet government, you are delusional.
It is over, wake up everyone, Putin is not the nationalist you think he is. It was all a fraud.
