All three of the top GOP candidates are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia. Speaking as someone who fucking hates the GOP, it wasn't always like this. But Russian money corrupts.
I think it's wrong to claim that money is the reason. We simply need to accept the fact that they love the idea of an autoritarian state with all power in the hands of some incredible rich people. And that Russia was never an enemy, communism was...
There's that too, but as late as 2015 the GOP was still largely anti-Russia.
Some of them claimed that they were, but they do a lot of lying, and the money stream certainly goes back a lot further than that.
this comment made me miss 'awards' for a second. one upvote isnt enough
Their money isn't worth shit since the invasion. Having no particular knowledge on the subject, i can't imagine they'd be doing much bribery the last few years. These people are otherwise compromised, or what i think more likely, Russia just helped start the culture war fire, and we're fanning the flames ourselves.
I doubt this charlatan gives a damn about Russia or Ukraine, he's just being a contrarian because that gets you a sizable base of voters now.
Man, they aren't paying in rubles, that'd be dumb as shit, even for Russia. Some of the richest people in the world are, and remain, Russian oligarchs with close ties to Putin - and most of their money ain't in rubles.
