Dan's got it right! Go here https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/03/whos-putins-mouthpiece.php for the entire article.Despite the fact that public opinion is unusually united on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, quite a few people are being accused of sympathizing with Russia, parroting Putin’s propaganda, and so on. Some of these people have been accused–absurdly, I think–of treason. More about this later.
For now, let’s ask another question: who are those who actually have been mouthpieces for Putin and his predecessors, echoing Russian propaganda to the benefit of Russia and the detriment of the United States? The answer is, environmentalists. We have written about this a number of times over the years, for example here, here, and most recently here.

Sheesh.

My brother is a professional historian and his field is the 20th century. He tells me that this is exactly how it was on the runup to WWI. Anyone expressing even handedness in the issue was branded a Kaiser kisser.
William Jennings Bryan quit Wilsons cabinet because Wilson was so determined to blame Germany for everything in the war and excuse Britain. It's like that now.
