“The Russians stopped being communists in 1991.”
They stopped calling themselves communists.

Never thought I'd see the day Freepers were rooting for corrupt Democrats and their ties to crime syndicates of George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Jao Bai-din, Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, John Kerry Jr., Christopher Heinz (Kerry), and Alex Vindman, especially when they're forcing the taxpayers to borrow billions from China to give to Ukraine. The same Ukraine government involved in an attempt to overthrow a sitting U.S. President.
“All you have to do to become a smart and well-informed person like me is..”
Hit myself in the face with a 3 pound machinists hammer four or five times.

“You should see the videos of the Azov barracks just captured. Like taking a time machine back to 1943..”
Complete with autographed copies of Mein Kampf I’m sure.

You forgot the "joking" tag. The Russian military is making very slow progress, if any against a country which nobody thought was even in the top five military powers in the world. On average they have lost territory every day since their progress peaked a few days into their invasion.
and forcing the Ukrainian separatists that make up the third rate troops from the Luhansk 1st and 2nd Army Cores (about whom no one cares if they die) to mount suicidal charges against UA trenches, strongholds, fighting positions, and bunkers, keeping UA from diverting its forces to reinforces other positions along the eastern side of the front from Severodonetsk to just north of Popasna.
Mostly its troop charges, not artillery here.
UA here has also been reinforced with 220 T-72s & RM-70 MLRS from Poland and Check Republic along with US 90 M-777s.
There are still plenty of routes open to reinforce with NATO heavy weapons
The only thing wrong with the UA is its high command is the inability to do offensive operations. On the Orc side the commander in the Popasna region is making excellent tactical decisions in causing and widening their breakthrough of UA lines against a very weakened UA 24th.
Remember that all of the money spent on military aid to Ukraine really gets spent in the USA paying the wages of people working at places like Lockheed Martin, or Federal Ammunition. The $40 billion goes to Americans working in our defense and firearms industries.
That money will benefit our nation more than Joe Biden spending the same amount of money in left wing social programs where the money goes to liberal non-profits and other Democrat party supporters.
Helping the Ukrainians defeat the Russians will prevent our armed forces from having to fight in Europe when Putin decides he would like a piece of Poland or Estonia.
Strangely we have gone from Freepers mistrusting the main stream media to Freepers believing obscure bloggers who are known Russian propaganda fronts.
You can learn a lot about what is happening in Ukraine by looking at actual data like satellite photographs or geolocated ground or drone video. No need to believe the BS put out be pundits pretending to be neutral observers who are really just propagandists.
Is it bad I jump in just to see the fights?
LOL
There are Ukrainians who honor the memory of Stephen Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist who allied with the Nazis. Bandera was anti-Communist and anti-Semitic, but was not a full fledged Nazi. The Azov Battalion has adapted the symbols of the Bandera movement.
Here we go again with Russian propaganda talking point #1.
By your standards the US military also has Nazis in it. Look at those Marines below.
Is their battalion a "Nazi" battalion? No, and neither are the battalions in the Ukrainian armed forces.
You can read about the real situation with the present day Azov Battalion here. Notice that the publication is a Jewish media outlet. Hard to imagine they have a reason to be covering up for Nazis.
Sorry to tell you this Penelope, but watching a biased propaganda movie doesn't make you smart or well informed. Thinking you are smart or well informed when all you know is what you saw in some Youtube video just establishes that reality is the opposite of what you think about yourself.
You have not been keeping up.
The Democrats have good Nazis and bad Nazis.
If you can’t figure out which is which you get canceled!
So you watched the video?
1.) Many here don’t support Putin, nor the invasion. I don’t. But I also don’t support Zelensky either, because of Soros’ ties to him funding his rise to power. I also don’t support Zelensky because of the WEF ties to him, all of the corruption in Ukraine still ongoing under Zelensky’s nose, he shutting down all opposition parties (painting them with a broad brush), shutting down all opposition media, painting them too with a broad brush, effectively ending free speech and free elections. It’s a dictatorship there now under him.
So two dictatorships; So I support neither.
Thus I primarily focus on Biden using Ukraine as a shiny object to deflect attention away from his abysmal record at home, how Dems are all-in on Ukraine, the U.S. being 30 trillion in debt, we don’t protect our own borders, etc. And I also focus on how this is Europe’s problem, they can all together handle Russia, they’ve mooched off of the U.S. for too long, and Russia won’t attack a NATO member.
But I get attacked anyway. I bet you all will too.
And it will clearly be Biden supporters attacking you if they do or they will deflect to Putin! Putin! Putin! like a Maddow bot.
And no doubt the Emotional Appeals will be used of how mean Putin is because they are libtards who attack us who don’t care about the U.S. falling apart.
Try getting the usual suspects here to attack Biden, Soros, Klaus, etc. They won’t during discussions about the war. They’ll instead attack others calling them Putinistas, etc, because they use liberal Maddow style tactics. Their actions define them: they are liberals, Democrats, and Biden supporters.
True conservatives go after Biden, Soros, Klaus, etc.
True conservatives don’t attack people here when they do go after those people.
Biden is using the war in Ukraine as a shiny object to deflect attention away from his abysmal record at home. These Biden supporters here don’t want that focused on either.
2.) The Founders were largely immune to the Emotional Appeals I spoke of earlier and argued in favor of alliances that were short-term, issue-specific, and in our interests, not unending warmongering with NATO which has went rogue in that it bowed before Odumba, as an example among other warmongering examples, and offensively attacked Liby when no NATO members were threatened and on unproven allegations that Gaddafi was going to kill 10k of his own people.
And it isn’t isolationist to be against warmongering repeatedly as in Iraq, then Libya, Syria, Yemen, and now Biden putting boots on the ground in Somalia.
And it certainly isn’t isolationist to demand that Europe quit mooching off the U.S. while they used the money they saved to spend on their people, and take care of their own backyard.
Those who falsely call others isolationists may deflect because they want Empire based upon their track record.
Has anyone read about Stefan Bandera? Might give some insight to the Nazi question.
Ukraine is a real tough one for me. The cheapest trick or accusation from any totalitarian regime is to cast their enemies as Nazis. The left does it plenty here in America. At the same time I don’t think out treasure and blood should be shed for the Ukraine.
