My Ukraine thread tonight is a little different, because I want to ask some pointed questions about the slow US response and actions that are so far much weaker than the Biden White House's bold promises. Several elements don't add up & the truth is required. 1/8

They weren’t “wrong”. Putin’s crimes became so horrific that his apologists’ statements became too unpopular. So they changed them, because that is what people with no real values do.
“Tucker Carlson and J.D. Vance suffer a moment of self-doubt over Putin.” But as @ThePlumLineGS points out, they engaged not in real soul-searching but in “rank evasion” of why they were so, so wrong about a Russian dictator.

PS To all officials and media: STOP CALLING PUTIN 'PRESIDENT'! He's a dictator. Words have power. He does not deserve a democratic title. Fuck your style guide. "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin".
