A GOP Macher in Ukraine

Politico has a very interesting story about an Oklahoma Republican doing relief work in Ukraine. Steven Moore spent years working in Washington DC for Congressmen, now he rounds up supplies for military volunteers and hospitals in Ukraine, using his back-home connections with the GOP. It is a good read.

Unlike the MAGA Tuckerites, Moore believes the Ukrainians holding out against the Russians are the good guys, fighting on their own soil against straight-on aggression. I remain convinced what we’ve done to help them is very much in the spirit of our help to what would become the Taliban when they were the mujaheddin fighting the Soviets (see the film Charlie Wilson’s War).
