Trump's RNC Chair Includes Ukraine in List of US Adversaries
Source: Newsweek
Michael Whatley, Donald Trump's hand-picked Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, lumped in Ukraine with China and Iran when listing the United States' "aggressive" adversaries on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures.
"Joe Biden's feckless leadership has shown China, has shown Ukraine, has shown Iran, that they can feel free to be much more aggressive on the world front to the point where even they will try and meddle with our elections here," Whatley told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.
The Context:
Whatley, who previously served as the chair of the North Carolina Republican Party, was elected to lead the RNC in March and now serves alongside co-chair Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to the former president. Whatley has advocated for "election integrity" as Trump has following the former president's 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. Trump has continued to claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him via widespread voter fraud, despite there being no evidence of such tampering. Trump, the presumed 2024 GOP presidential nominee, will likely go up against Biden, the Democratic incumbent, again in November, with the backing of the RNC.
What We Know:
"I think that we are seeing right now that this election truly, truly matters on national security...when America is weak, the world is a far more dangerous place," Whatley said about this year's upcoming election on Sunday. He then blamed Biden for showing countries like Ukraine that they can meddle with U.S. elections, despite there being no evidence to prove his claim. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been dealing with a war against Russian aggression since February 2022.

When listing America's top adversaries, RNC Chair Whatley *includes* Ukraine (along with Iran and China) and *omits* Russia.
The entire Republican Party is so deep into Putin's pocket it's frightening.

fucking republicans are destroying my country!! 
In addition to being pro-Russia, I think TSF has it in for Ukraine and for Zelensky personally, because he didn't play along with the blackmail scheme to get dirt on Biden!
We all know how transactional, "you wash my back and I'll wash yours" TSF is. He probably saw Zelensky refusing to give him what he wanted as a personal insult, worthy of retribution.
I don't believe he'll win, but IF he did (which he won't), Ukraine would get wiped off the map pronto. Oh, what an evil pos he is! He must NOT be allowed to win! 
Straight out of Russia State TV!
Democratic countries, like Ukraine, are their enemies, and their goal is to eradicate free elections here.
