Yup. And it makes me wonder how our country has managed to generate such a group of amoral, self-interested officials.

Well, it did take more than two centuries and a lot of help from Vlad the Bad.

I think Vlad, as a trained KGB guy, understood we had pressure points that could be exploited, particularly on race and anti-Semitism. It would have been negligence on his part if he didn't take advantage of it. So, yes, he's been horrible for Russia, and he's led his country into a debacle in Ukraine, but the GOP might just save his ass, and that happens to be the most cost effective way to win that war.
