It’s weird how the loon right and loon left hate each other but are so often on the same side.
It’s not clear to me how saying it’s suicidal for Ukraine to keep up this fight is “supporting” Putin.
Isn’t Scott Ritter a pedophile?
“This is WAR, and right-wingers absolutely love a good war.”
He mis-spelled “Uniparty”
Geez, what are these guys’ FreeRepublic handles? I read these sentiments all the time here!
Those here supporting Putin or criticizing Ukraine or arguing we shouldn’t help, have adopted many left wing arguments. This article identifies many of those themes as coming from the far left.
Scott Ritter, the Burger King pedophile...as I recall, his wife is a Russian whom he met while inspecting Soviet weapons sites.
a earlier post described Zelensky as wanting to prove he was ‘woke’ - which should enamor the Left to him. OTOH, it’s the people of Ukraine of all classes who are fighting back against being told what to be or say. And the Left can’t stand for any examples of that kind of behavior. It might spread.
Saddam Hussein was harboring terrorists, in fact was hosting Zarqawi and a cell of Zarqawi’s mostly Egyptian al Qaeda affiliates right in Baghdad proper well before the war, when Saddam, on the advice of Gen. an Douri, was wooing Islm
amid extremists by enacting Shariah law, writing the Qur’an in Saddam’s blood, and building a gigantic mosque with minarets designed to resemble Russian weapons. Zarqawi’s terrorist cell beheaded a Chaldean nun there in Baghdad, and his other cell based in northern Iraq assassinated Saddam’s opponents among the Kurds as well as assassinated US AID diplomat Lawrence Foley. Zarqawi founded ISIS and al Dhouri, his son, and a bunch of Saddam’s intelligence personnel-after Saddam was killed- swore an oath of allegiance to ISIS emir Zarqawi. Before the war, Saddam was also yucking it up with Russian General Primakov, who was responsible for removing evidence from Iraq to Syria and Lebanon.
I don’t think the Ukes should surrender their country. If the Russians were insisting on unconditional surrender or insisting that all of Ukraine be absorbed into Russia then I’d say by all means fight bitterly even if you are badly outgunned.
On the other hand, those are not the terms that have been offered to them by the Russians. What they’ve insisted on is:
1) let the Russian dominated regions of Ukraine go
2) get rid of the Nazis like the Azov Battalion
3) be neutral. Not in the EU or NATO but otherwise, just like Finland or Austria, do as you wish so long as you are not openly hostile to Russia.
Are those terms so onerous that the Ukes should be willing to endure a bloodbath to prevent them? They’re not in the EU or NATO now. They’d give up nothing there. Is it so important to control areas dominated by Russian speaking ethnic Russians who don’t want to be ruled by Kiev? As for the Nazis, I’d be just fine with the Russkies ridding us all of them.
The only differences between socialism and fascism are in the lies told in order to inflict totalitarianism on a gullible populous.
