CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 25, 2022
NOT MUCH SHOCKS ME THESE DAYS, BUT THIS ONE THING DOES. IT’S THE NUMBER OF CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICANS WHO ARE SUPPORTING, OR JUSTIFYING, VLADIMIR PUTIN’S INVASION OF UKRAINE.
EVEN FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS AGAIN PRAISED PUTIN FOR HIS STRENGTH AND RESOLVE. SO HAS TUCKER CARLSON OF FOX AND CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN CANDACE OWENS.
THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ENABLERS OF EVIL. JOSEPH STALIN AND MAO ZEDONG WERE PRAISED BY AMERICAN JOURNALISTS AND EVEN CLERGY. ONE WRITER – ANNA LOUISE STRONG – WROTE THAT STALIN’S LABOR CAMPS WERE SO GOOD AT REFORMING PEOPLE THAT THERE WERE LINES OF RUSSIANS WAITING TO GET IN.
PUTIN’S BOMBS, BULLETS AND MISSILES ARE MURDERING INNOCENT CIVILIANS. HE IS GRABBING LAND AND HOPING TO EXPAND HIS TERRITORY, ALLEGEDLY BECAUSE HE FEELS THREATENED BY NATO COUNTRIES. NO NATO NATION, AND CERTAINLY NOT UKRAINE WHICH IS NOT A MEMBER, POSES A THREAT TO RUSSIA. DO YOU SEE ANY OF THEM DOING WHAT PUTIN IS DOING?
PUTIN IS A LIAR AND A KILLER AND HAS BEEN MOST OF HIS LIFE. THE LEAST CONSERVATIVES CAN DO IS CONDEMN HIS BEHAVIOR. I’M CAL THOMAS.
