"Republicans" infected: Putin's lies led to blocking assistance to Ukraine - the media

According to journalists, former US President Donald Trump is the most influential "useful idiot" for Russian propaganda. Some members of the Republican Party in the US Congress have begun to talk openly about the impact of the Russian Federation's propaganda on American politicians and their decisions to assist Ukraine. Bloomberg writes about it. It is reported that Russian bots have been running an active information war against the United States and other Western countries for many years.

According to journalists, the fact that the package of assistance in Kyiv is stuck in the congress for half a year, testifies to the effectiveness of the tactics of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. The article states that the reason for delayed military assistance lies that "Putin's lie confused the minds of some Republicans in Congress. " According to the authors of the publication, these people are few, but it is enough for problems.

The most influential "useful idiot" that broadcasts Putin's rhetoric, journalists called former US President Donald Trump. At the same time, some Republicans, including the Chairman of the Committee of the House of Representatives in Michael McKol, recognize that Russian propaganda has penetrated into the United States and "infected" a large part of the party. The article states that McKol's statement enables other Republicans to speak more openly on this topic.

For example, he was supported by the chairman of the Intelligence Committee Michael Turner, noting that you can even hear how some Russian narratives sound in the US House. We will remind, according to Bloomberg of April 11, there is no "plan B" for the US for assistance to Ukraine except $ 60 billion of military assistance, which continues to be in Congress without approval.
