Trump, allies defend or deflect Putin’s invasion; was Romney right?
For decades, the Republican Party has stood for being tough on Communism, and the Democrats, fairly or unfairly, were often criticized for a softer approach.
But now the entire deck is scrambled.
Many GOP leaders, such as Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, are backing President Biden in lining up NATO allies for imposing sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Some are saying Biden hasn’t gone far enough
I get the criticism of Biden. I get the argument that Ukraine shouldn’t be a top American priority. I don’t get the abandonment of the NATO alliance and indifference to a military takeover of what used to be a Soviet state. And I don’t get the praise for Putin, a man who jails and poisons his opponents and spewed all kinds of fabrications to justify his invasion, the second time in eight years he has attempted to seize a chunk of Ukraine – which he doesn’t even view as a legitimate country.
The media have been much more favorable to Romney in recent years as he became a sharp Trump critic who voted for impeachment. Perhaps it’s also time to acknowledge that not only was he right about Russia, but he wasn’t the heartless hedge-fund capitalist that became his indelible image in that campaign.
