VANITY I am a long time lurker and occasional poster. I consider Free Republic to be one of the most informative sites available, but I find myself confused with the direction of commentary regarding Russia and the Ukriane. The media, the democrats, George Soros,the UN, the World economic forum. ALL either have LIED to us continually for the last four years or are actively involved in planning the destruction of our nation. At the Risk of being called a putinista or putard I have to ask the question. Why do we accept as fact the narrative that we are being fed by the msm? This link is not the hill I am willing to die on but it does present an alternative point of view worth considering https://burningbright.substack.com Stand Tall Brad
I can’t tell...................
consider the fact both sides are wrong.
or both half telling truths and partially lying.
Agree. I just accept we’re getting a lot of spin from both sides.
The suckers here all spout, "but the video!!!"
They must have never taken a theater class.
There are no Good Guys in this conflict. There are civilians caught in the middle.
There seem to be a lot of people who feel a war, any war, is a patriotic endeavor
Most people seem to be pro Putin which is pro communist pro rebuilding Societ Union.
It’s weird.
And Putin started it.
He’s giving cover to Brandon.
The EU is not in any way working against Putin and Putin is a close Klaus Schwab associate.
Some of the freepers jumping on the WW III bandwagon I knew were Bush Leaguers, some have been quite the surprise.
Agreed.
Yes.
“Are we losing our discernment”
According to Romans 1...yes.
Don’t try to get in the middle of a fight between two snakes.
You’ll get bit…..by both of them.
Is Russia building aircraft carriers?
Nope, but China is.
China is the danger to us.
The propaganda is overwhelming.
Sometimes I think I am on Tik-Tok.
yep
obscures the truth
Both sides are bad. Anyone on the R saying, “You are either with Ukraine, or you’re unAmerican” is a neocon a$$hole.
Not my circus, not my monkeys.
Stay. Out.
or both half telling truths and partially lying.
Exactly. Why should this debate on Russia v. Ukraine be any different that any other hot button topic here at Free Republic?
I rarely post an opinion one way or the other, and I don't see why so many FReepers get their knickers in a knot for either side.
Same as the freepers that jumped on the "get vaccinated" bandwagon.
Exactly how I feel.
Discernment is a gift of Wisdom (who is the Holy Spirit). Some even here never had discernment. They had patriotism or a trustworthy news source. Now that the world and it’s foundations are being shaken, people without Christ (the Word and Spirit) flounder.
We must all watch and pray more, speak less. Before we read anything we should be reading our Bibles. All we see should be interpreted through those pages, not history, not prejudice, not groupthink.
It sure ain’t easy.
