Republicans Block Ukraine Funding -- Russians Rejoice

Click here for an article at The Daily Beast by Julia Davis, entitled "Putin's Pals Think the GOP Just Won Them the War in Ukraine." Subtitle, "Kremlin propagandists celebrate the Republican move to block funding and predict President Trump will totally cut off Ukraine and Israel."

This is a roundup of programs and articles in Russian TV and print media celebrating Republicans' efforts to cut off funding for Ukraine: 

“This will be a great revelation to other countries. It is even more dangerous to be a friend of the United States than its enemy. In the end, they will abandon you, leaving nothing but the scorched earth on your territory.”

Commentators throughout the war have been saying that Russia's plan was to outlast Western support, which they predicted would crumble when the United States lost interest and decided the price was too high. Unfortunately, that may be happening.

And the Russians are big Trump supporters:

While the Russians are pleased with Republicans, they believe that Donald Trump could do even better. The Kremlin’s mouthpieces make no secret of their desire to see Trump return to the White House and now they have yet another incentive. Appearing on The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov Tuesday night, Dmitry Drobnitsky predicted that if Trump wins the presidency, he will ditch not only Ukraine but also Israel. He explained that he no longer has to demonstrate being a pro-Israel president to his evangelical base. Drobnitsky said, “Trump already gave them all that he could: the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, and everything else. He already paid them in full. Now, after the empire of Sheldon Adelson has turned away from him, he owes them nothing.”

They're not big Biden fans:

America analyst Dmitry Drobnitsky noted, “The downfall of Ukraine means the downfall of Biden! Two birds with one stone!”

During his appearance on [the Russian program] 60 Minutes, Dmitry Abzalov, president of the Center for Strategic Communications, predicted that the fiasco with the funding for Ukraine will spell the political demise of Biden. Host Olga Skabeeva added, “We’ll have no pity for him! To the contrary, we’re ready to hammer those final nails right in!” With a happy grin, Skabeeva said, “Well done, Republicans! They’re standing firm! That’s good for us.”

Russia, Russia, Russia -- a hoax? Yeah, right.
