Just When You Thought That Things Couldn't Get Any Worse

Are you following the news about the terrorist mass-shooting attack at a music concert in Russia last Friday? The latest report says that the Islamic group Isis took responsibility for the massacre.

There are also reports that all the terrorists were arrested after their car overturned while being chased by Russian police. One report indicates that the American embassy in Moscow warned that Americans should not go to large gatherings in Russia. Apparently president Putin dismissed the warnings as "Western blackmail". 

Now, Russia blames the Ukraine for the terrorist attack, while Putin critics suggest it was a "false flag" operation. In other words, Putin opposition claim that Russia carried out the attack against its own people to justify escalation against Ukraine. 

In related news, this morning Poland is accusing Russia of entering its country airspace, after Russia fired a cruise missile into Polish airspace to attack Ukraine. 

Methinks is going to get worse, before it gets better. 

Don't Say Blogger In Florida

In 2014, Vladimir Putin signed a law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office. Right now, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants to pass a bill that will require bloggers who write about the governor and other state government officials to register with the state, and disclose who's paying them and how much. 

What is it with Republican politicians obsession with having Russian repressive dictatorial laws implemented here in the United States?

It sounds like Ron DeSantis have a crusade against free speech and the press, just like Putin did in Russia. I may be wrong, but I believe it violates First Amendment rights. DeSantis sounds worse than the so called stable genius.

Marionettes

On July 4, 2018, the Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The same day, eight Republicans were at the Kremlin doing a photo-op with high ranking members of Vladimir Putin's regime. They traveled to Moscow on a Republicans only trip to Russia. 

One Russian official said, "the eight Republicans were soft, was one of the easiest meetings in my life". Senator Ron Johnson even downplayed Russian election interference just days after his 4th of July trip to Moscow. 

After Putin illegally invaded Ukraine, and started bombarding cities full of civilians, Ron Johnson went on Fox News to blame president Biden. 

If these senators were truly worried about Russia, why they voted to block three separate election security bills? Why did they cover for Trump when he withheld crucial military aid to Ukraine? Why have they all consistently taken Putin's side? 

Putin's Republican marionettes need to be voted out.

Ronald Reagan Would Be Absolutely Appalled

Can someone explain this sudden change of heart of the Republican Party and Conservatives offering praise for President Vladimir Putin?

You see it happening with Republicans in the House, FoxNews, and the other conservative media. I read a poll yesterday that shows that 6 out of 10 Republicans praise Putin instead of the American president. The GOP is blatantly showing us that they crave an authoritarian leader. 

How can any self respecting American side with an autocrat who threatened the United States from nuclear extinction? This individual assassinates and imprisons his political opponents. 

It appears that Republican politicians respect the fact that Putin can just kill anybody who gets in his way, and invades any country whenever he wants to. Even the former Secretary of State and Director of the CIA Mike Pompeo was on TV yesterday praising Putin. 

I read somewhere that all the adulation and comments toward Putin by Republican politicians, are being shown on Russian State TV and fed to their citizens. I don't think this adulation toward Putin aligns with the interests of the United States. 

Sometimes I wonder if President Ronald Reagan would be appalled by our current Republican politicians, fawning to Putin and other authoritarian leaders.
