Why is such a large segment of MAGA pro Russia/Putin?

Contrarianism to the Establishment: Because the traditional political and foreign policy establishment in Washington broadly supports Ukraine, MAGA figures often take the opposite stance as part of their broader rejection of the political status quo. Cato Institute

Some elements of the movement view Russia under Vladimir Putin as a defender of traditional, conservative Christian values. They contrast this with what they perceive as the "woke," progressive, and secular culture of Western institutions and the Ukrainian. The Globalist

Donald Trump and certain other MAGA leaders have historically praised Putin's strongman style of leadership and absolute control over his country, viewing him as a more effective and decisive leader than democratic politicians. The Globalist

Trump and Putin are part of the same global autocratic team. They help each other.

How interesting that The New York Times team edited out any reference to Putin's reminder that we'd recently tried to assassinate him.

Apparently it still bugs Putin.

But The Times doesn't thinks that's news you need. You'll have to do without the reminder that we probably tried to kill Putin and his wife and two kids, as you struggle to decide how much longer, as a U.S. citizen and voter, you want to spend billions of dollars on weapons to blow apart not just the Donbas, but now even Moscow and St. Petersburg, all while you yourself are targeted by city-vaporizing Russian missiles that could be here within 15 minutes. Good luck!

In summary: In recent days both Zelensky and Putin have again referenced an attack on Putin's home and family carried out by U.S.-supported Ukrainian drones. This is the same attack that Trump initially believed in but then scoffed at, after the CIA formally told him it never happened.

But it clearly did happen.

Which suggests that the CIA is giving false briefings to the president.

According to this report from 2019 from ARTE, a Franco-German public TV network, 1 in 10 child trafficked around the world came from Ukraine. That traffic must have certainly worsened during the war with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children orphaned by this war.

🔴⚠️ ALERTE ROUGE :
En 2019, ARTE diffusait ce reportage EXPLOSIF sur le trafic d’enfants et les réseaux pédophiles en Ukraine, impliquant les élites locales et internationales… 😰😱 ⚠️
Pourquoi ce documentaire a-t-il disparu des radars ? https://t.co/cZJIZv21u7

That kind of reporting from the MSM hasn't been done since 2022.
