[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't you Trumpers be happy that Ukraine is winning? That the Soviet Union won't be revived? That this might bring about the end of Putin's regime? That NATO and our western alliances will be stronger because of this? That the U.S. hasn't embroiled itself directly in another foreign entanglement? Trump wanted Europe to start contributing its fair share of the NATO budget. Well, this war seems to have done the trick. It shouldn't matter that it happened under Biden. You should be happy to see an adversary - one that has directly interfered in U.S. elections get its comeuppance.[/quote]

The Hate America First crowd loves autocrats like Orban and Putin.[/quote]

All American presidents loved the Gulf autocrats.  It's a common disease, dear.[/quote]

Uhm, no. All presidents dealt with gulf autocrats because they control tons of oil and we need tons of oil. If that desert had only sand, they would still be living in tents like 1930 and nobody would care about them.

Loving Orban has no reasons. Hungary is a small country in the EU. Nobody cares about Hungary itself so there is no necessity for the US to bend the knee to Orban. The American right (led by people like Trump  and Carlson ) love Orban precisely because he is a wannabe strongman who is trying to do away with democracy in his country as much as possible, going against the free press, education institutions that are not aligned with him, judiciary and so on. So there is a big different with being pragmatic and dealing with dictators of countries that have a strategic crucial importance for the US and flattering and supporting a wannabe dictator of a country of little importance just because he is a right wing strong man (who is also working to weaken from the inside an important ally like the EU)[/quote]
