KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.
Loomer had spent years minimizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. This week she had a change of heart.
“Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine. Sirens blaring. This is everyday for every Ukrainian,” Loomer wrote on X during her visit to the country. “I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say.”
The only reason she is there is because Ukraine is winning now. She has no principles other than to jump on whoever is popular at the moment.
Ukraine has had the popularity high ground ever since “I need ammo, not a ride”, though.
Ukraine hasn’t had any popularity among US Republicans until just recently. Republicans were completely pro Russian. Trump did everything in his power to force Ukraine to surrender.
Oh, I thought you meant popularity among actual people, not CHUDs.
How is Ukraine winning now? Last I heard it was kind of a stalemate.
They’ve gone from just surviving to being able to drone strike Moscow. Russia is on the defensive for the first time.
