If you knew absolutely nothing about anything just looking at the GOPs stance on Russia 30 years ago to now, shows you immediately how full of shit and propaganda the party is.
They’ve literally gone from fuck the reds to sucking Putins cock.
A complete 180 on their “values”, without even flinching…
Not to be that guy but Democrats were all up on Putins dick like 20 years ago. He came and spoke at some universities and denounced the war in Iraq. It was good publicity for him for sure. I thought he seemed pretty chill but I was barely a teenager yet.
I was a leftist teenager in the W Bush years and I was very much pro-Putin/Russia. I even used to watch RT occasionally. It wasn’t until around 2012, with the handling of Pussy Riot that I started to look more closely at what modern Russia actually was, and what kind of leader Putin was. I remember laughing at Romney back in 2012 before all of that, when he said that Russia was out biggest threat. Fast forward to 2016 and I realised just how right he was, and I really don’t like agreeing with Mitt Romney.
So what? Putin hadn’t gone full Nazi yet and was for the most part a respected world leader. The fact that he spoke up against the bullshit Iraq war, just shows that even assholes can be right occasionally.
Putin of 2000 is not Putin of 2020.
And furthermore, I’d say there’s a big difference between let him give a speech at a university and let him have Ukraine.
Not to be that guy, but you’re absolutely that guy looking for bOtH sIdEs false equivalencies.

Yes, I believe they are called traitors.
Better dead than red.

W: He has evil eyes.
Trump: Give him Ukraine, what could happen.
