Blah blah blah. Vladimir Putin showed no sign of coming off message in his address on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. He also showed no sign of remorse or even original thought.
In a speech clearly intended to resonate with the Russians’ cultural mix of imperialism and paranoia, Putin insisted that the West have been the aggressors and that Putin’s invasion was in fact a defense of the motherland. “We aren’t fighting the Ukrainian people,” Putin said while spending the past year volleying missiles at their cities:

One has to wonder whether the Russians can see through these shabby lies, especially about not “fighting the Ukrainian people.” Almost a year ago, Putin defended the invasion on the basis that there is no such thing as a Ukrainian person. At the time, as well as before and after, Putin argued that Ukraine was in fact Russian and all of its inhabitants were Russian:

So today’s speech was nothing new, nor should we have expected it to be. If Putin had actually learned anything, he’d be withdrawing from Ukraine rather than throwing more cannon fodder into the battles. Putin has instead mobilized and deployed hundreds of thousands of replacements, but the impact of those new forces has been negligible at best.

Spent much time there?
I am pro-America. I don’t give rats behind if Russia & Ukraine burn into ashes. It is horrible for American taxpayers to be burdened with additional national debt to get involved in UNNECESSARY FOREIGN WARS.
Especially since we can’t afford this.
Haha I don’t see any Russian apartment buildings, power plants, roads, etc destroyed. ALL DESTRUCTION IS IN UKRAINE. Therefore you need to go to Ukraine instead of posting on FR. Besides I have no dog in this fight. I am only against borrowing more money to spend in Ukraine.
I learned from Vietnam fiasco.
Learned more from Iraq fiasco
And learned more from Afghanistan fiasco.
But neocons like you have not learned.
No, I hear everyday from FReepers that this war is an attack on Russia by NATO and the United States, so obviously it is the Russian motherland that needs your help to defend it!
Read my post #44. It answers your question.
So when are you going to go fight for Russia?
Read my post again. With focus this time.

Isolationists like yourself have yet to learn that if you don’t stop dictators when it’s easy to stop them then you always have to stop them when it’s hard to stop them.
Or do you need to wait until Russia invades Alaska before you care about doing anything?
You are certifiable. Seek help soon.
Balloons in Alaska are not from Russia.
Irrelevant, since you have no credibility whatsoever.
Your statement is as ludicrous as those absolutists who say the Russians are all genocidal maniacs. It tells me nothing you say has any credence at all, without outside corroboration.
I have no credibility? If I have none, yours is far less. I want my county fixed and the one to the south. I am not willing to give one of the most corrupt countries in the world led by a Trudeau and Biden loving fag any more cash or lives.
