Opinion - Republicans' shocking about-face on Russia
Like a gang of political “Mean Girls,” the Republican Party is totally committed to making Russia happen.
The last two weeks leave no question about President Trump’s feelings toward Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The speed and totality of Trump’s policy shift shocked our foreign allies and divided congressional Republicans, culminating in his surprise decision to pause all military aid to Ukraine even as the country faced a heavy new round of Russian air raids.
America’s pivot to a pro-Russian foreign policy isn’t Trump’s doing alone, though/ Across the federal government, we are witnessing a coordinated Republican effort to realign American foreign policy away from the world’s liberal democracies and toward gangster regimes like Putin’s.
But for this to succeed, Trump must change Americans’ overwhelmingly negative opinion of Russia.

That's because the GOP hates democracy. Problem is only 4% of Americans support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
