I’ve never been so embarrassed for Free Republic, to see people defend an invading Russian army, against a free and sovereign nation.
Some people only pay lip service to freedom. When it comes to actual freedom, they support invading forces.
Go figure...
I’m curious DO, how many billions of US taxpayer dollars would you commit to defending Ukraine’s ‘freedom’?

Good, someone who sees through the Russian fog and is willing to speak, bravo!
This is the end of FR for me. The end, sorry. Supporting tyranny, invasions, corruption and accusing the freedom fighters of Nazi sympathies without ever understanding that 'Nazi' means a member of a German political party which ceased existing in 1945. Oh, and spelling plural of "Nazi" as "Nazi's", as seen above. Illiteracy.
What does this mean? "Putin is a Russian patriot with low low taxes". (Also above.) More illiteracy.
A nation is fighting to gain independence from an imperium, and at the same time working to define its unique identity, denied it by various invaders for centuries, and here Americans stand on the side of the imperialist. Go figure? No! I just wrote to my friends in the region that Americans are naive, uninformed and easily swayed by propaganda, and that is how you (my correspondents' nations) were betrayed in Yalta and Tehran in 1944-5.
We have persuaded ourselves in this country that everything has two sides, and now these useful idiots on FR, like the useful idiots and agents surrounding FDR once, believe that the Maidan uprising had two sides, and that Ukrainian quest for independence had two sides. And unfortunately, that other side is the side of Putin, and yes, the side of Obama (although we must note that the latest absurdist line of Putin apologists here is that Maidan was Obama's project. That, another note, marks a change from them alleging recently a Soros and 'EU sodomite' conspiracy. New orders from the Kremlin or from a radio talk show blabbermouth?)
One more note. The Putin apologists and Nazi obsessives follow and cite reports from the MSM, which they generally and when it is convenient dismiss as lies. Some of us here follow first hand reports from the region.
