Both Putin and Zalensky are experts at playing the international press and politicians. Zelensky loses some support from the gaystapo west, TUH DUH. He is for gay marriage and tranny rights. Putin loses support of the Christian world and TUH DUH. He is suddenly standing up as the lone beacon of Christianity in the world.
Both are liars. Both are crooks. And as whose family faced the violence from both nations (Polish on one side) I hope they both lose and lose badly.
Putin has been a disaster for his own country. He has plundered its assets, destroyed its institutions, sent hundreds of thousands of his young people to die in a pointless unwinnable war over some Ukrainian coal fields - at a time when Russia was already facing demographic collapse. Putin has barely held onto power only by assassinating his opponents - remember when a Russian army mutinied last year and went to the gates of Moscow? Under Putin’s watch a once-proud Russia is now an economic vassal of China and dependent on military assistance from Iran and North Korea and increasingly on African mercenaries (since Russian manpower is so weak). I won’t say he’s the worst ruler of any country ever - Santa Ana in Mexico, Lopez in Paraguay, Hitler and Mussolini of course give him competition, but he’s been amazingly incompetent and self-defeating.
America hasn't attacked Russia so unsure of the point you are trying to make.
To answer directly, Americans were of course free to oppose the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam. Lots of patriotic Americans did. But if you went around supporting the Vietcong, Saddam Hussein, ISIS or Taliban, I’d call you a traitor, without a doubt. Big difference.
The British Media responded to the attempted murder of Fico by running a hit piece on him (Fico) and pretty much blaming him for being shot and nearly killed. That’s how DEMENTED the Neocons have become over Ukraine.
You know, I get you hate Putin ... hate is truly a pointless emotion. I also noticed you made no comments on what I said about our own politicians ... very telling. That bucket of water getting heavy?
“To answer directly, Americans were of course free to oppose the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam. Lots of patriotic Americans did. But if you went around supporting the Vietcong, Saddam Hussein, ISIS or Taliban, I’d call you a traitor, without a doubt. Big difference.”
It sounds easy, but at some point, opposition to a war will be construed as support for the enemy. See posts 3, 5, and 6.
Biden will be gone after November if he lives that long. Saying how much you prefer a foreign enemy dictator is a bad look imho. Any more than Republicans should have said nice thing about Ho Chi Minh because we didnt like LBJ.
You need to stop twisting words because you don’t have a valid argument.
“America hasn’t attacked Russia.” Not directly, yet. When we do, you will say “the time for debate is over. Support the war or be counted a traitor.”
You make arguments but I don’t think they are sincere. For all I know, you want war against Russia because your grandmother told you stories about Cossacks.
“cia” occurs 13 times in the posted text.”
I could not confirm this. Unless you meant something like “financial.”
“I won’t say he’s the worst ruler of any country ever - Santa Ana in Mexico, Lopez in Paraguay, Hitler and Mussolini of course give him competition”
What? No mention of Stalin or Mao?
“Perhaps you might want to think about that.”
That will be lost on Kaker sore.
Never before in my life have I feared my own government.
As far as Kaker goes, I am well aware of who he is, a non thinker who lives under the delusion that he still lives in the country he was born into.
Putin is certainly an enemy but he’s not an immediate threat as an enemy to us, unlike the current DC administration and apparatchiks.
