United they stand, divided they fall. It's the Republican plan.

A reasonable article but it conveniently left out a significant facet of the right bellyaching...the Ukraine one.

These MAGA wingnuts who excuse Putin are enabling industrial scale murder. Putin hates America and those Americans who think Putin likes them are fooling themselves. He just uses and amplifies their rhetoric because he knows it weakens America. This seems lost on you, tovarich.

Significant in that the propaganda targets do indeed get more significantly resentful, yes.

Significant in that there's any actual relationship between aid to Ukraine and disaster prevention and relief here--poppycock!

Poppycock indeed!
What a naive group!
It is crying over photo-ops and still believe it has special call on the resources of the US.

Expand on that please?

Baby steps. Say what all that means. What group is naive? What photo-ops? Who or what is that unspecified "it" that has a special call on what resources?

What group is naive?
The bellyaching right.

What photo-ops?
Crying over Biden not coming to East Palestine.

It - the right - believing that it should be first in line for US largesse.

So Biden should have gone to East Palestine which voted 80% for Trump instead of going to Ukraine, or we should not be spending money on Ukraine, so called America First? How many presidents visit train derailments?

Come to think of it, why didn't East Palestine invite Putin?

OK, makes sense and I appreciate that, sir. I'm not always sure I guess right about things that seem obvious to others....
