As I’ve noted several times before, I don’t think Putin will invade, because Ukraine is too valuable to him as a wedge issue for NATO and the EU and a source of political support at home. But what if I’m wrong? With one exception, the Republican Party will be falling all over itself offering support for Ukraine and bashing Biden for being soft on Putin.
The exception, of course, will be the leader of the party–Donald Trump. So how will all of the other GOP leaders handle that piece of dissonance? By living in an alternate universe and pretending it doesn’t exist, of course. That’s what they did between 2016 and 2020. Why would things be any different in 2022?
