The Ukraine War Myths Only the Willfully Ignorant Still Believe
On Statesmanship in Wartime
On the matter of President Zelensky's term: When cannons roar, constitutions bend. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. Churchill delayed elections. That a comedian-turned-wartime-leader maintains unity while Russian tanks roll toward Kyiv is not tyranny - it's survival.
On Political Parties and Allegiance
These banned political parties? Their leaders took Moscow's rubles while Russian missiles fell on Kharkiv maternity wards. Would we have tolerated Nazi sympathizers in Congress during 1942?
On the Irony of Censorship Claims
The censorship charge is particularly rich coming from those who would ban books from Florida schools. Ukraine fights an information war as existential as its ground war. When every TikTok post could mask Russian coordinates, shall we fault them for guarding their frequencies?
On Frontline Journalism
As for journalists - they go voluntarily, documenting horrors Draino cannot fathom. To suggest otherwise insults every reporter who's dodged Russian artillery to show the world the truth.
On Moral Equivalence
And the Saddam comparison? A curious choice. Saddam gassed his own people. Putin poisons his opponents. Zelensky? He wears the same olive green as the soldiers dying in trenches. The moral equivalence here is not merely flawed - it's obscene.
In Closing...
What we have here is not policy disagreement, but a fundamental divergence from reality. When one parrots Kremlin talking points while ignoring mass graves in Bucha, when one cites "freedom" while excusing a dictator who murders journalists, when one complains of election delays while cheering Trump's promises to "terminate" the Constitution - well, that's not conservatism. That's something else entirely. That's just more MAGA psychobabble.
