Successful penetration of Russian malicious interests into the American politics will probably lead the way to a much deeper impact than visible war efforts, even if only longer term. Politicians like those alleging "tax payers" protection (what other thing, second to religion, sells better to Americans?) are the cancer that will consume from inside. Slowly and surely. 2024 will then see the malignancy taking place to no recoverable state, probably, if Putin gets to survive in place until then.

> Aren't Democrats Putin agents for not providing more aid to Ukraine though? Zelenskyy clearly has said they need more, so the logical conclusion is that Putin ordered those in power to reject those requests and only provide a reduced amount of aid.

There is nothing logical about your statement. The US government, thanks to Biden's administration, is by far Ukraine's largest backer.

The sources are “afp and rt” - that’s “Russia Today.”

The website includes articles with titles: “Russia: Ukrainian Special Services Prepare Major Anti-Moscow False Flag in Kharkov” and “Ukraine Truce Ordered by Putin Takes Effect as West Vows to Send Heavy Weaponry.”

This is a Russian propaganda site. They’re trying to demoralize Ukraine by claiming the US can’t be relied upon.

Edit: I’m trying to find a reputable source for this. Some mainstream news sources talk about it “raising questions”, but nothing definitive. Some mainstream articles have scary headlines about this, but the articles don’t say anything specific.

Zelenskyy has congratulate McCarthy on Twitter in what seems to be an effort to dispel this narrative.

The only news outlet supporting this story is Russia Today.

> Ahh, trying to deflect the spotlight from your comrades, eh Ivan?

Your ad hominem makes it clear that you have no arguments to present. I don't have a dog in the US domestic politics race. I'm neither a US citizen nor live anywhere close to the US. I do have some knowledge into the volume of support from Ukraine's allies declared so far, and the US is by far the largest supporter. Only recently did the EU collectively surpassed the US.

If you have nothing productive to add, consider saying nothing.
