Well said. The Ukraine situation is no different than the Government-Made CovidBS-19 situation was. Example:
Ping to #121. Meant to include you.
It’s definitely not your father’s FR.
20 yrs ago this place was much different.
All I’m saying that there are conservatives who wish to help Ukraine (with money/arms) that are not people who wish our Republic ill.
We’re talking past each other.
I have no intention to say you’re wrong about any of your various points.
However, the “original poster’s remark” that people who support a are in line also with b, c, d, e, f, etc. is a falsehood. You could be for d, but not the rest, which is what you and I are saying.
Enjoy the cartoon, and thanks you for pointing all of that out!
While that is indeed a big aspect, if looked at objectively it is obvious there is an in group preference in play. That you cannot point out or question because . . . Hitler.
Thanks...we, at least, try. There is something to be said for that.
That doesn't change one, basic truth: FR is THE best place to obtain info, and observe demolition derby-like debate that a.lows for the refinement of the free exchange of ideas. True, it has a collection of good and bad people, as you state. Some posts are cringe-inducing, and some posters I'd never invite to my barbecue.
I think FR has become less religious and Christian, and more militant libertarian. Gone are the days of fairly frequent Cath. vs. Evangelical threads thousand+ post threads (the last one was pulled),
As for the over number and age of posters, gone is the era nw_arizona_granny's Prepper Threads
Correction: those three prepper threads were in 2009-2009.
Ukraine women pop up all over the net selling themselves in one way or another. Also Ukraine use to be a destination for men who can't get women any other way - it was a business that set up meetings and bars that officiate the lot. I saw a video of the show....the men were surely undesirable apart from the money in their pockets....which that's all some women over there want....until they get to the states and drop the guys like hot potatoes. Ha!
I have no doubt that Trump will be back in the WH before 2024, the stolen election will be fixed, and the globalist criminal gang will not stay in power.
Do you think the USA should drop out of NATO and remove our troops and bases from Europe?
is this a poll? I vote yes.
~~~~~~
I don’t vote “yes”, I vote HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Only those who are ill-informed share your pov.
I began to wonder if somebody had launched the bots on FR.
~~~~~~
Bots and paid shills.
Trump will supposedly be back on Twitter Monday ...and now Musk has control we’ll see how twitter will contribute or not to the mid-terms. So glad all the Indian leadershop of witter is gone - they needed to be gone.
Not surprisingly the Russians post their videos on social media sites popular in Russia. There are many Telegram channels and vk accounts where Russians post text, images, and videos. Use one of the machine translation tools to get an idea of what they are writing, but be aware that the machine translations often miss on puns, inside jokes, etc.
If you want less of these kinds of posts posted at FR then stop posting them. I have observed you consistently post articles that support Russia or make Ukriane look bad. Hypocrit!
Russian’s philosopher, world conquest planner, Alexandr Dugin, is advising Putin on how to reclaim Russian power and create Eurasia from Belfast to Vladivostok, He specifically recommends separating UK from Europe (Brexit success), and then the sea powers, US and UK, from the land powers, Europe. Getting rid of NATO is definitely a goal. President Trump had a good point when NATO countries failed to even pay their 2% agreed military investment. Now they are catching up and some are even committed to invest 3% in self defense.
Alexandr Dugin’s 1997 book is probably the most concerning book to be written since Hitler’s Mein C ampf in the 1930s. Read this link, and especially the more than 20 bullet points on exactly what should be done about many countries throughout the world, including our own. Before you cast a vote on NATO, consider these plans/recommendations to Putin.
