no it's not
So all the heated debate in the US how they should stop supplying Ukraine (and latest halt on their help to have their govt not be shut down)
and focus on their internal issues instead is not changing political environment? How about Slovenia (one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine) electing a pro-russian party to their parliament just now? I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of the campaigns there is funded from the Kremlin. When comrade Musk starts quoting politicians who have been proven to work for russia before and general public seems to be jumping into Musk's fanbase, that's a cause for concern for the future of US's and other Western countries political and economical commitment to help Ukraine, don't you think? I really hope it's all just populism that affects small portion of the society, but my American friends seem to be leaning towards believing and supporting Musk and GOP and I am worried that russian propaganda and tools of disinformation are bearing fruits in affecting people's opinions in the West.
@HandsomeDevil @BombOmOm @fiah 'and general public seems to be jumping into Musk's fanbase,' don't know where you came up with this one. People have LEFT that platform in droves and he has lost $$ like mad. He has less influence in the US than he has ever had and is continually derided for his ego-centric ineptitude. Musk is a wealthy fool. That's all. GOP is splintering. It will be gone soon.
The country where a pro-Russian party won the elections was Slovakia, not Slovenia. It hasn't been "one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine" and is a fairly small country.
That said, there's certainly some reason to worry about the trends with support for Ukraine. US politics has been worrying at least since 2016 . Also,seems like the threat is very real that with Biden's term we might only have gotten a breather.
@HandsomeDevil @ukraine
Oh ok, my mistake. And yes, you have a good point about Biden's term being a breather.
