At least someone in Europe is not kissing the feet of Saint Vladimir Putin the Great, unlike Marjorie Greene who thinks Vladimir is God ordained
Paging Marjorie (Putin can do no wrong) Greene, she has big boots to fill. I.e. she should read up on the allegedly heroic career of Quisling of Norway, i.e. she needs a role Model to emulate, and Quisling checks all the boxes
Meanwhile back in non Quisling land parts of Europe this initiative about missiles to Ukraine is now making the rounds
quote
The “essential requirements” for the “long-range strike system” list missiles or rockets with a?range of 100-300km; designed for land, sea, or air launch. Their payload should be between 20 and 490kg.
“Desirable requirements” for it include a low probability of interception by anti-aircraft systems.

as to Putin apologists
They welcome the excesses of the Russian oligarchy , and they wish to have the same system set up in America, with a criminal syndicate ruling both America and Russia for the sake of a seamless melting of boundaries between Russian and American crime families. I.e. to set the template of a global Mafia criminal empire jointly running Russia and the USA. That is what Putin, Marjorie Green, Trump and Ron DeSantis all want

What is being proposed means a deferral and postponement of this holy project. BOO HOO HOO: I mean really? What can a nest of Quislings do to compete ? Boo Hoo Hoo !
