It has now become fashionable among American oligarchs, rightwing entertainers, and conspiracy fans to accept and repeat the claim of the Russian propaganda mill that attacking Ukraine was necessary because, with American help, the Ukrainians are manufacturing bio-weapons. 

Putin is a hero to our oligarchs. They consider him to be a kindred spirit who shares their enchantment with autocracy and disdain for democracy. Rightwing entertainers, like Tucker Carlson, know what it is to be part of a propaganda mill. They are paid to tell whatever lies their owners want circulated. The conspiracy fans can never get enough of new conspiracies and they will wolf down any garbage that comes along without even tasting it. 

All of these are providing support and comfort to America’s enemy. 

Are they not a security risk?
