That’s a nice way to put it. Gives us all a lot of credit. But I think the answer is simpler and cruder: we have a common enemy again.Tucker, JD Vance and other right wing nationalists did not anticipate the extraordinary outpouring of support for Ukraine we've seen across the West.

And it’s not just us. Even Finland and Sweden want to stand with NATO. Switzerland was moved to break its absolute neutrality.
