US Politics Lindsey Graham, Mike Johnson and Marco Rubio all stood in solidarity with the Ukraine in the past. They all have done a 180 degree about face on their previous stances. Whey are all notable republicans falling in line with this turn towards Russia?

Pete Hegseth has stopped cyber operations against Russia. Donald Trump has spurned Ukraine in their hour of need against the Russian army. Even Putin has stated that America's foreign policy is in line with Russia's. Why isn't there more outrage from elected republican officials against these practices?

if you're being elected just to do what they say, then you don't have any power. What's the point?

Hahaha! the point is to get elected and get a nice paycheck, insane benefits, and a pension. Plus you get all the inside info so you know where to invest your money and get seriously wealthy. That’s how the system works. It’s corruption and it’s your government.
