“And what if your family is a Russian-speaking one, with relatives on the Russian side of the border, and your kids’ schools have been closed, and the local Ukraine “nazi” militia leader sent from Western Ukraine decides you are a potential problem? Do you stay?”
Too broad and general a question. Too many unstated variables.
But, if there is time to get your family out of harm’s way, that is your first priority. However, if the enemy is at the gate, and your family has not evacuated, then fight like hell! And I don’t give a shit who the attacker is.
Your “either agree with me completely or you are a woke progressive” attitude is tiring. Maybe you need to take a break from this site.
“The deification of Zelensky is disturbing.”
As is the alignment of FReepers/CINOs with the left.
Lincoln said: “If you look for the worse in a man you will surely find it”. Zelensky may be far from perfect but he has one very admirable quality: courage. How many leaders would have fled the country upon a Russian invasion? Most... Yet Zelensky chose to stay and fight. Despite his many flaws Zelensky is “exactly” the leader Ukraine needs at this time.
They are ruining America. And they have those they ruined well trained to do their bidding.
“A lot of that sentiment goes out the window when you live in an urban center where “home and hearth” are a multi-story tenement, you have no connection with transient neighbors, and “family” is a group of highly dysfunctional wards of the state.”
Hearth and home is YOUR hearth and home, not those of some drug-addled neighbor. And YOU get to determine who is family. There is family, and then there is FAMILY. Just sharing some identifying DNA does not by itself meet the criteria.
Yeh, that one. 😆
That line seems to have been taken directly from the 1940 German movie "Feldzug in Polen" (campaign in Poland), which argued that Poland was an artificial country, therefore justifying the German invasion. The movie is available on the Internet Archive and maybe even Youtube.
He's trying to act like a Churchill, but he seems to be more of a Nguyen Van Thieu, a Park Chung-hee or an Artur da Costa e Silva--pro-Western but still very much of the Third World.
I vaguely remember Hillary as SofState holding up a big button with Putin saying RESET.
I wonder what happened to turn them against Russia. The Dims use to be all for Russia.
I agree it is strange
How ever in spite of his peanut gallery critics from their Monday morning quarterback huddles, he is prevailing and saving his country
NO, I juts think it is sad that even conservatives have swallowed so much woke ideology.
Are you a recent graduate of one of our public schools? You may not even realize how much indoctrination you suffered there.
Strange logic. You don't blame the attacking army that is causing all the problems, just the victims of Russia's aggression.
In your world I guess it was our fault in the USA that the 9/11 terrorists attacked us, killing thousands of innocent men, women, and children.
Let me guess, you learned that from Q.
And I presume those "globaloid demons" somehow rigged the election that put Zelensky in office. Do you have any evidence of that, or just your own delusions?
Truth!!!!
What, specifically, did I write that is woke ideology, newbie?
* Zelensky should be neither deified not demonized.
* Government leadership is a necessary evil in this fallen world.
* The founding fathers recognized that man is inherently evil (maybe I should have said fallen or corruptible) and structured a government with checks and balances, rather than the traditional monarchy.
I don’t see anything here that is “woke.”
Your thinking pattern lacks one key element. It is entirely possible for a group of people to agree that something is bad, and should not be allowed to happen, even if they disagree on just about everything else.
It is highly likely that "Hollywood, Biden, and Soros" all agree that torturing kittens is a bad thing. Does that make you think you should go torture a kitten? After all, your enemies are against it, so shouldn't you do the opposite of what they do?
Think, don't just parrot dumb ideas.
That particular lie keeps getting repeated. I think you have said it before, so you must be just reading it off of the talking points from your boss.
According to multiple sources about 14,000 people total have died in the conflict in the Donbass area. That total includes military fighting on both sides, and as you know one side is a component of the Russian army. So you are lying and trying to make it appear that the casualties of the Ukrainian army, which make up about half of the total, are "at the hand of the Kiev government".
Your propaganda skills are weak.
Deification? You perhaps could say “Defecation”?
LOL
Anyway, the clowns in the White Hut and Congress can’t even solve the violence and pedophile issues inside our own borders.
How much money will they need to spend to come to a similar abject failure as they gave us in Afghanistan? We could get there faster for less money. But .... sigh ....
