You know things are really fucked when you find yourself saying "hell yeah" to statements by mtg and tucker
Russia is pro Iran so it wasn't entirely unexpected.
Russia is not so much "pro Iran" as it is keeping an ambiguous relationship with Israel and Iran. Russia let Israel bomb Iranian militias in Syria. Israel sold drones to Russia after Russia invaded Crimea. Israel even demanded Ukraine to just give up against Russia behind closed doors. Netanyahu praised Russia and Putin in the past months and Israel refrained from demanding sanctions on Russia since the full scale invasion 2022.
I believe that MTGs position is coming from a sincere "MAGA" position. Why should the US let Israel dictate what it is doing and what it is not doing? Why should the US on top of it pay billions to Israel for Israel to drag the US around?
Populism works because it taps into actually existing grievances. Or creates them, but in this case it's option A.
Plus she's an actual Nazi type.
