Russian propaganda pushed by the Kremlin has “infected” part of the Republican base, a senior GOP congressman has said, as indications grow that a vital U.S. military package for Ukraine will come up for a vote with U.S. lawmakers this month.
“I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base,” House Foreign Affairs Committee chair and Texas Republican, Michael McCaul, told Puck News.
A new tranche of military, economic and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, worth around $60 billion, has been ensnared in Congress for months by infighting, causing deep concerns in Kyiv as Russian forces inch westward and gain territory while Ukrainian forces contend with shortages along the frontlines.
Keep in mind there that the Russian population is literally 10 times bigger than the Netherlands, and that the territory size (which they need to defend and all) is over 400 times bigger.
Russia is coming this far by acting like an asshole, posturing like they are strong whilst they are really weak, and just plain cheating where possible.
One wonders why the Republican party likes them so much…
