It looks more to me like the idiots in the Kremlin, having believed their own nonsense about the strength of Russia’s military, are trying to start a war with the US and NATO.

Did you stomp your feet and stick you thumb in your mouth after typing?

I did.

Geopolitics doesn't allow you to pick up your ball and go home in a tiff.

This isn't "geopolitics." It is merely corruptocrats in Washington itching for a war with a nuclear superpower because their shady arms and money dealings and child sex trafficking ops are about to get exposed.

I've seen a lot of citations of John Quincy Adam's quote about not seeking monsters to destroy. But this isn't 1821, the oceans aren't nearly the barriers they once were, and sometimes the monsters come looking for you.

You've been watching too much CNN. Putin is not the monster in the context of destroying other nations.

Anywho, here's the clown that you and other sheeple support. Enjoy that Ukrainian flag.

You mean Zelensky is just a dumb actor, like Reagan?

He stood and fought, even when our own intel thought he was finished. I can't imagine too many of our own politicians doing that.

Does that include the Holodomor where Russia killed 4 million Ukrainians?

That was in the past. Your argument is the same BS that blacks use today to cling to the injustices and evils of slavery. Russia is not the Communist cold-war Soviet Union, and even if they were, who cares? Our nation right now is pretty much Communist itself.

He would have no patience for the pro Russian bull$hit propaganda that is posted here and other places.

Heh. You mean like propaganda where Ukraine admitted the Kiev bomber never existed?

There is no comparison between Zelenskyy and Reagan. Z is literally a puppet actor.

He stood and fought, even when our own intel thought he was finished. I can't imagine too many of our own politicians doing that.

He did no such thing. All of that was faked. Him wearing the military jacket and getting a gun himself, the mysterious Ukrainian bomber who just "died", the surrender of Russian troops, etc. All of that was Ukrainian propaganda.

I'll tell you what's real though:

Russia has given Ukraine plenty of chances to surrender peacefully.
Ukrainian troops are going door-to-door hunting down so-called Russian sympathizers.
Many hostages are being held against their will in that factory. If they were to leave, Ukrainian troops have orders to shoot them.

Sorry buddy, I did my homework. Ukraine is not the good guys here.

Russia invaded Ukraine because of Putin’s imperial ambitions.

Nope, Russia invaded Ukraine because he doesn't want them joining NATO and we're pissing them off by giving Ukraine high-tech military weapons and money. Also the Neo-Nazis, the bio-labs, the corruption, etc.

Let's let Putin arm the drug cartels in Mexico. Because this is the exact scenario that's happening now in Ukraine.

They actually have been hate borged into supporting and behaving like the left.

If people do not want or support a war in another country with US intervention clouded with 24/7 propaganda, you automatically support Putin.

The only way they get there is brainwashing with “The Current Thing”

If he were a puppet, he would have left when the US suggested early in the war.

This war is considered a great inconvenience by many in US intel, State, and the rest of our illegitimate regime, who consider it an impediment to selling out the US to Iran, crushing Israel and defeating their real enemies at home: us.

They have obviously tried to use it as a distraction to cover up their multitude of failures, but many Americans realize that this war would never have taken place if Trump had remained it office.

Russia draws a line on Ukraine, which used to be part of Russian, and then Soviet territory for centuries. Meanwhile the USA deep state, 4800 miles away from Washington DC, is mucking around in Ukraine with coups, expanding NATO from 12 to 30 countries, weapons sales, etc...

And its the Russians with "imperial ambitions." LOL.

Well, don't forget, The Big Guy needs to protect his 10%.

Kremlin leaders and state media have been warning Russians that the war with Ukraine could become a global war.

Too late, Brandan and Nancy are already all in on this "proxy" war. Add to this list people like Congressmen and opinion leaders like Mark Levin. When I see Nancy and Shifty Shift in Ukraine, I know we're in big heap trouble.

Could be because they haven’t opened their door to any person from anywhere who wants a meal ticket and free stuff off of the citizens who live there. That ain’t freedom. That is robbery.

Never in my wildest dreams was I wear that so many Freepers support Putin. They should be thrown off the site and out of the country.

I believe you are on the wrong site. We value opposing opinions here. Twitter is the next street over on the left

That's not an argument. That's your emotion.

If you want to speculate on fantasy hypothetical of "what would Reagan do" : Ronald Reagan was actually friends with Gorbachev and Schevernadze, and they trusted each other - which allowed Gorbachev to proceed with Reform and both sides agree to sweeping arms control agreements.

Would not have supported a woke, DC deep-state neocon empire building and corruption Ukraine? Doubtful

"our own intel." Do you get it straight from the CIA? When did they say that?

You have to be 70 or older to remember how we ended up getting drawn into combat in Vietnam. That started out small as a proxy war between the West and the Communist bloc. Fighting Russia over Ukraine may not stay in Ukraine.

It was widely reported in February that the US offered to evacuate him. This is just one of the sources:

If they can’t capture Ukraine in 3 months, the rest of the world has little to fear.
This is all about creating more fear in the west so they will send more $$$ and weapons to Ukraine.
