This thread proves one thing to me..
Putin is orchestrating the Civil War in America. Starting with free republic.
And it’s working.
Bkmk
He’s not entirely wrong. But he could have said all this and provided a strong bulwark within Russia, and not invaded a sovereign country. So, even though he’s partly right, he’s blown the truth out the window with his invasion.
And yes FR repeats, it’s possible to despise Russia/Putin AND Ukraine/Zelenski.
Good point. Another thing the American Left and Putin have in common: wanting a divided west. Because it weakens us.
I already posted the map above, post #28
Yeah, Russia's collapsing.
Go cry with Biden and enjoy your $7/lb butter.
Putin talking about sovereignty is rather hilarious considering that sovereignty is exactly what he is trying to strip from Ukraine.
And the sovereignty of countries that do not have their own source of oil and gas is what he is targeting when he seeks to block the pipelines of other countries. It gives his own country a monopoly, and thus an extortionists’ say in the target’s foreign policy.
That’s a very simplistic view of the international order. Too simplistic.
Personally, I don’t know all the facts, but I do know that as a proud US citizen that loves the Constitution, I can find very little of what he said to disagree with.
He’ll peel off a few lefties and sow doubts in many more by appealing to Russia’s Soviet past with its anti-colonialism and that sort of thing. He is very shrewd to tug at leftist heartstrings by reminding them of the USSR and making that connection. He made sure to include stuff in his speech that will resonate with both Western conservatives and leftists. The guy has serious cunning, that’s for sure. I’m always torn over how much of what he does is mind games and how much is sincere.
The Russians know the western feudal elite won’t leave them alone even if they became a hermit kingdom. Not democratic enough, not homo friendly enough, too resource rich, too big, too etc etc. One day in the future it’s entirely possible that persecuted Christians in the west will seek sanctuary in Russia.
Seems to me your reading far more into Putin’s speech than what he said. I claim bs on your being a “Professional translator”.
But here’s a response...
We couldn’t care less about Russia as long as Russia doesn’t go invading other countries without just cause. In fact, we would have been just fine being trading partners with Russia, as would have Europe.
But then Russia had to go and seize part of Georgia and then Crimea.
“They’re crazy. I want to speak to all Russian citizens, do we want to replace mum and dad with parent 1 and 2? They invented genders and claim you can “transition”. Do we want this for our children?“
Well, Putin has a point.
And this differs from the Revolutionary Communist Democrat Party how, exactly?
Bump
“They used nuclear weapons, creating a precedent.”
Well, yes. When we bombed Japan, my father had just finished training for the invasion of Japan. He died in March of 2021, at 94. He told me many times he was afraid of invading Japan, because of their suicidal attitudes and their blind loyalty and brutality. (he was also sick of war)
Fat Man and Little Boy ended the war.
Who forgave the loans that these young college-educated Marxist-leninist types made?Biden supports Putin’s agents in our country and supports the Chinese agents in our universities
Let’s go Brandon.
The current administration IS America and if you don’t believe it you may just get an early morning FBI visit.
Isn’t that also true of us here? How many overseas military bases do we have? How many overseas military bases does Russia have? Does Russia have bases in any NATO countries? Do we have bases in former Warsaw Pact countries?
Why are we doing stuff in Ukraine with biolabs? Why do we support Nazi-aligned military groups who have been shelling Russian areas for 8 years?
According to Russia, weapons labs and Nazis attacking Russian civilians justified their invasion.
According to Bush, chem/bio weapons justified the invasion of Iraq.
Seems to me Russia has a much better case for their invasion, that we had for Iraq. And the Iraq invasion achieved nothing except a bunch of dead ppl and trillions of dollars of debt.
🤮
Leave Ukraine and then govern your country how you wish, end of story.
Meanwhile the US is fighting wars in Asia, well beyond its borders. NATO bombed the snot out of Serbia when Serbia did not attack NATO. Putin is right. The west with its rainbow flags, gender confusion, fear of Christianity, reduction of merit to affirmative action is immoral and corrupt. The deep state stole the election from trump who did not want to go along with this crap.
My father was in disembarked at Kure as a volunteer with the BCOF in Feb 1946. He was already a seasoned soldier, having fought in New Guinea and Borneo. The destruction he witnessed at Hiroshima left a mark on him.He understood the Bombs ended the war, but none the less was not a fan of it. He never liked the fact such destructive weapons were given cutsie names.
