An Ideological Paradox: Has Right Wing Media Shifted It's Support to Russian Oligarchy?

Washington Post, December 8 by Phillip Bump

It seems that former Communist, and still-Marxist Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin has some friends and allies in strange places, namely Fox News "commentator" (sorry, use of the term here is open to interpretation) Tucker Carlson, along with the editorial board at Newsmax think that their buddy, "Vlad" is not all that bad of a guy.  He's just looking out for his own interests while thinking of invading Ukraine and having to run for re-election is tiresome and causes stress.  

That's not surprising since Trump now does most of their thinking for them and his love affair with all things Putin, including not having to worry about losing an election that expresses the will of the people, dictates their position.  So there they are, defending the autocratic, brutal, inhumane leader of Russia, whose political and economic policy is as Marxist as they come, a cutthroat former KGB agent who controls a nuclear arsenal mostly aimed at the United States.  

The Post commentary lays it all out.  

The fact that both Tucker Carlson and Newsmax have an audience at all is due to the appalling failure of our educational system to teach students what it means to be responsible citizens in a Democratic Republic.  It's a failure of social institutions, including the churches which are part of the major branches of Christianity that exist in the United States, to instill the moral values and personal ethics that are evidence of true faith, and the political parties to get their followers beyond personal interests to the greater good.  

Russia, along with China, represents one of the greatest threats in the entire world to the existence of the United States of America.  It is sickening to point out this pathetic drivel that comes from these pathetic, morally-depraved suck-ups who run after Trump with toilet paper and tissues, but at some point there has to be an awareness somewhere that these are subversives who thrive on the stupidity and ignorance of their audience.  

If there are Americans that admire Vladimir Putin, or Kim Jong Un or the Afghan Taliban, both of whom Trump thinks are "good people," then I say they are not American.
