The Bulwark’s Tim Miller has a love letter to all of the Putin apologists out there, and he lays it out in a piece Thursday in which he exposes the worst Ukraine takes. He names some names, such as Candace Owens, Glenn Greenwald, and Tulsi Gabbard, but he wraps up this piece with this straw man:
If you believe this could be some sinister, NWO, Hunter-Biden military-industrial complex plot, [then] I’m asking you to log off Reddit, take a walk around the block, and consider why regular, everyday Ukrainians are either taking up arms to defend their country or fleeing in terror. These people need our help. So we must ignore the Russia apologists, and continue to do whatever we can to help.
Bill Kristol thought that last paragraph was pretty good as used it as a pull quote in his tweet promoting the piece.

And by help you mean …
Depends on how one defines help.

There's not a war that Bill Kristol wouldn't want the US to be 100% involved in. Sad.

And constantly ridicules many of the boys he wants to die in it as uninformed idiots who don’t know what’s good for them

Bill you are welcome to fly your sorry ass to Ukraine and take up arms yourself. You didn't do it for the Iraq War which you championed, so now's your chance

You're so awesome & knowledgeable, grab your gear and jump on a plane to Ukraine. Lead the way.

Bill, fly to Poland, jump across the border in Ukraine and pick up a gun.

What are YOU doing to help, Cap’n Bill?
Will you take up arms for once in your life? Or will you just propagandize from the safety of your sofa? 🤔 @KurtSchlichter

Guys who never took up arms to defend their country seeking to bask in the courage of the guys who did. Again.
I'm so done with these people.https://t.co/HNw3zD85xQ https://t.co/iQRparLRWv

Kristol and The Bulwark put all of their faith behind Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, so they must have their fingers crossed.
