The Republican Party is full of “sycophantic cowards who would gladly watch Ukrainians get killed if it meant Trump had a higher chance of winning reelection,” according to one American veteran training Ukrainian soldiers.

The full quote is even more biting… And accurate, sadly:

An American veteran who has been training Ukrainian soldiers in combat said he’s disgusted with the Republican Party, which he says is either “totally compromised by Russia and is willfully aiding Russian interests” or is chock-full of “sycophantic cowards who would gladly watch Ukrainians get killed if it meant Trump had a higher chance of winning reelection.”

The pattern is, the latter are targets of Russian operations, and so far it seems to be successful at generating kompromats.

Now, with Republicans withholding critical lethal assistance, largely at the behest of former President Donald Trump, Ukrainian troops are feeling the pressure.

The amount of damage being done globally at the behest of Donald Trump’s personal ego is unconscionable.
