MICHAEL WALSH ON UKRAINE: “Dear Democrats and NeverTrumpumpkins: after five years of demonization of Putin and Russia, are you happy now? You own this, and there’s nothing your idiot president can do about it. Congratulations.”
So is it fair to ask if Biden is on the payroll of Putin? As Walter Russell Mead wrote in 2017:
If Trump were the Manchurian candidate that people keep wanting to believe that he is, here are some of the things he’d be doing:
Limiting fracking as much as he possibly could
Blocking oil and gas pipelines
Opening negotiations for major nuclear arms reductions
Cutting U.S. military spending
Trying to tamp down tensions with Russia’s ally Iran.
As I wrote in late 2019: “You know who did do these things? Obama. You know who supports these things now? Democrats.”
