“You” is meant as any person not you in particular...

Maybe I should have said:

No, defending the indefensible per what Russia is doing in Ukraine makes a person a Russian troll.”

Is that better?

“Russia will NEVER go home until it annexes the eastern parts it wants from the Ukraine.”

As if there is nothing wrong with that.

“Geramny will never go home until it annexes Poland so shut up!”

God help us if Mexico or Canada decides to take a chunk of the USA. I guess thats fine too....

You are the one with excuses.

Amazing thing here. You did not support DJT and his foreign policy at all did you?
With his foreign policy we had a basic harmony all over the world...outside of a few glitches in the Mid East.
Does your feeble memory go back that far? Or are you unable to remember that under Trump, oil prices were so low that the Russians under Putin COULD NOT AFFORD to sustain a protracted war of any kind with anyone. Matter of fact..if your feeble mind can conceive it, we had pretty good harmony with Russia under Putin at that time.
Yet here we are. You, and those like you, support a pig faced son of a bitch who immediately got us involved into a conflict we have no business being involved in.

In the meantime, you turn your bald face away from a region where we will soon be involved in a protracted war with a country that has all intentions of crushing us..and yes, maybe through Central America since they are involved heavily in that region..and that INCLUDES Mexico.

So what is your excuse supporting this worthless bastard and his constant war drumming with our military which will NOT be able to fight a two front war at this time?

You may get your wish. That is, if you have any common sense at all and are watching what is going on in those two countries.

Some thought that Putin was going to force the Ukraine back into a new USSR.

But it turns out that it is Russia that is being forced into a new USSR.

Sounds a lot like the US during WWI, when that particular war wasn’t very popular.

Agreed! Supporting a foreign enemy commie slavery nation against ourselves won’t solve our domestic problems. Our domestic problems need to be solved here and with honest, logical campaigns.

“Insurrectionists!”

Same mindset.

Same goal.

Americans placed Germans, Italians and Japanese in concentration camps. Those who opposed America in WW 2 were snitched on, visited by the FBI, and beaten. Few attackers were arrested. Russia is essentially treating supporting the country as we used to do in America just a scant 77 years ago.

America is my home, the USA can bleeeeeeeeeeep (more than one word). WE THE PEOPLE, the foundation of government flowing from that. WE ARE THE SOVEREIGNS, anything else is tyranny.

When government does what it wants, and forgets about what the people want. When government ignores the contract signed between our Representatives in the States, and instituted a Central govt that is severely limited in power, they are in violation and must be removed. If not by the ballot box, then by the another.

It seems like since 2020 we have forgotten the lesson that it is who counts the votes who chooses our bosses (used to be servants). Nothing will ever change without force, yet Americans can hardly force themselves off the couch to vote. It is easier by mail, soon to be by smartphone (just watch).

I support your right to your opinion, even though I may disagree. In this case, two thumbs up.

You are the one with excuses.

Well then, I guess it's an excuse to state that the Ukraine
is a sovereign nation recognized by around 155-160 nations
today.

Amazing thing here. You did not support DJT and his
foreign policy at all did you?

Please remind me when Putin invaded the Ukraine when Trump
was in office and Trump decided to look the other way as Russia
tried to annex land and natural resources.

With his foreign policy we had a basic harmony all
over the world...outside of a few glitches in the Mid East.

I don't believe there were any instances where a nation
invaded their Eastern European neighbor and Trump had to
decide to stand down or supply the defending nation. Please
remind me which nation you are referring to, that did.

Does your feeble memory go back that far? Or are you
unable to remember that under Trump, oil prices were so low
that the Russians under Putin COULD NOT AFFORD to sustain a
protracted war of any kind with anyone. Matter of fact..if
your feeble mind can conceive it, we had pretty good harmony
with Russia under Putin at that time.

Well, one of our memories isn't running on eight cylinders,
that's for sure. Russia didn't invade the Ukraine while
Trump was in office.

Yet here we are. You, and those like you, support a pig faced
son of a bitch who immediately got us involved into a conflict
we have no business being involved in.

I don't support nations that invade their neighbors for no
justifiable reason. I do support nations that are invaded by
a nation like that. As for Biden helping to supply Levensky
I do support it. I do not support 40 billions dollars of
support though. That was uncalled for.

In the meantime, you turn your bald face away from a region
where we will soon be involved in a protracted war with a country
that has all intentions of crushing us..and yes, maybe through
Central America since they are involved heavily in that region..and
that INCLUDES Mexico.

What gives you the idea I have forgotten about China? We're
not on the topic of China at the moment. We're discussing
an aggressor nation that invaded it's neighbor.

So what is your excuse supporting this worthless
bastard and his constant war drumming with our military which
will NOT be able to fight a two front war at this time?

If you'll take a deep breath and think for a moment, you'll
realize we are not engaged in one theater at this time.

Russia invaded. I support the defending nation.

I don’t demand perfection. What I do know is that someone needs to tell Trump there is a trap coming his way. That trap is the MSM is going to turn the entire Covid lockdowns, vaccines, deaths and all of the bad attached to it, and smear former POTUS Trump with it. While he is telling us how HE GOT OPERATION WARP SPEED GOING, and saved lives, the facts are out there that more will have died from the vaccines, or from Covid after the vaxx, by the time the General elections roll around. He better get into 2022 and tar the Democrats with that brush. Make Fauci, Brix and all the Democrat governors take full responsibility.

I’m sure the press will try to smear him, after not having
one negative thing to say about Biden.

For instance, Biden while campaigning said, “If I had that
many people die under my watch, I’d resign.” Biden has now
had more people die on his watch, than Trump did.

He also said he would have COVID under control right away.
Did he? LOL, no.

As for lockdowns, Trump took the medical advice of medical
experts who were supposed to know things a lot better than
him. If Trump hadn’t let them lead, he would have been torn
to shreds by the media. He couldn’t win.

The public knows what the media is today. They know Trump
and they know Biden.

They prefer Trump.

“Americans placed Germans, Italians and Japanese in concentration camps.”

Put it is perspective.

In 1942 there were some 12 million Americans of direct German ancestry (i.e., they were born in Germany, or one or both of their parents were born in Germany). Of that number, a mere 11,000 were detained; and a scant few were placed in internment camps, as they were considered direct threats.

They were not interned for speaking against the war; they were interned on suspicion of espionage or sabotage or actively supporting the Nazis.

Today, in Russia, it’s enough just to say something that can be construed as not showing the desired fervor in support of the war against Ukraine, that can land you in trouble.

This is an extreme example, but remember when Kim Jong-il of North Korea died about ten years ago? All those people lined up weeping and wailing and falling down in grief? They wanted to make damn sure they showed enough sorrow, lest they end up in prison or being fed to dogs.

I don’t blame him, except in he allowed the medical experts to rule. Two weeks should have ended it. Then again, hindsight is 20/20.

The point is, the covid notavaxx, is a timebomb politically and inside humans who took them. Of course the vast majority will have no effects or imperceptible. Millions have already died worldwide, more are likely to do so in the future.

I predict that the Libtards will pivot and pin this all on Trump. What he thinks is a crowning achievement was indeed a mistake. He can get ahead of this by pinning it all on the Dems. It is a large duck sitting in the prime position to be knocked off. Whomever does so, will be immediately ahead in the “race to November 2024”
