In chit chat: Are Conservatives cheering on a communist dictator? I see this claim on MSM and here at FR.

The voices I hear ^ | Nlz

[NoLibZone]

I see MSM saying that Conservatives support Putin.

Which conservatives have stated support for Putin?

[caww]

Glad my sons already served .......I would not want them going to Ukraine’s war...not even a little. Let Europe handle this matter.

[ClearCase_guy]

Yup. There is no good side.

I do not support Putin.
I do not support Ukraine.

People hear that and think, “So ... you support Putin, eh?”

Idiots.

[Slingwing]

Facts remain Ukraine is the laundromat for the globalists. Zankadankadoo was never elected but rather installed. If it were not for Ukraine we would still have the Trumpster as POTUS. It is a corrupt country with no morals and basically a rudderless ship. The citizens of Ukraine all would like the current government to just go away. Putty is doing us a favor for knocking out the power center of the elites. So yes there are a few of us conservatives who have first hand knowledge and would rather see Putty win this fiasco.

[Bobalu]

I am against all the communists.....

[muir_redwoods]

I haven’t seen any support, right or left for Putin or Russia

[Openurmind]

“Putin is anti-globalism.”

And there is is right there. It is not so much that folks support him, but that they understand he is being squeezed by the global new world order. At least someone has the intestinal fortitude to fight back against it to protect their country and Nationalism from the one world communism.

[SE Mom]

I haven’t seen anyone support Putin. I HAVE seen people questioning the virtue of many leaders in Ukraine. That is not the same as supporting Putin or his actions. There’s obviously a lot to this story and prevailing storylines are usually established early in wars and can be hard to change. There are some truly corrupt people in Ukraine- just like in Russia.

I’ll say this - I believe Putin is stunned by world reaction. Businesses, banks, governments are taking actions I wouldn’t believe if it weren’t happening. It’s interesting because if it were China doing this in Taiwan does ANYONE believe these same entities would react as they are now, against China?

[Pxzftrnqfrn]

" if it were China doing this in Taiwan does ANYONE believe these same entities would react as they are now, against China?

and there it is...when it happens these same folks will not be wearing Taiwan flags...they will be singing "all we are saying, is give peace a chance"

[Irenic]

hear, hear

[Trailerpark Badass]

LOL, well done.

[Yaelle]

No one supports Putin

Some see the truth, that the western globalists including prominent Americans set up Ukraine for this. While the war is Putin’s doing, he is not new and anyone could have predicted his reaction to these threats of nukes and nato on his border. This could have been avoided but our own oligarchs of the west were invested in milking Ukraine. Ukraine got nothing out of leaning toward us. And we are playing the good guys. Untrue.

[Yaelle]

Right. The media wants everyone to see only black and white in this. They will NEVER explain what led to this and who is involved.

[Gnome1949]

Putin is not a communist.

Ukraine is a lot more complicated a problem than the Leftists want you to believe.

The central government of Ukraine has been artillery shelling its own citizens in Donbass who identify culture and language with Russia. The people there want autonomy from the central government of Ukraine.

The government of Ukraine are NOT white hats.

There are justifiable reasons to fight the Ukraine government and those who spout off against Putin do not know the entire story.

It is now impossible to know the truth about what is happening in Ukraine.

All you need to know about Ukraine at this point is George Soros is backing the government of Ukraine. Soros, of course, is a world-class criminal and has a standing warrant out for his arrest in Russia.

Ukraine is universally recognized as among the top ten most corrupt countries in the world.

Siding with Ukraine without further investigation is like siding with the Sicilian Mafia because you think they are innocent victims who love their families.

For these posts I'm adding you to my list of bad actors on Freerepublic.

TigerClaws said, "https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/28/europe/gallery/ukraine-girl-killed/index.html
Will have half a dozen posters saying it isn’t real... "
yes. There are if not Putin supporters people who are fine with the invasion
Using CNN as a source if you don't believe they're telling the truth then you're a Putin Supporter.

TigerClaws said, "Support a thug, pay thug prices."
Referring to Russians citizens trying to remove their money from Russian banks by the actions of SWIFT.
To be clear: Being a Russian does not mean being a Putin supporter.

I can use more examples though this is enough to show you're a Bad actor on Frerepublic.

Freerepublic is a free speech site. It's up to each freeper to make their own list of people that supports division on Freerepublic with the use of illogical arguments. I call bad actors.

[Trailerpark Badass]

How about because Russia is invading and trying to take over a sovereign nation that poses no directly military threat to them. Thats not enough?

LOL, thanks for dumbing it down for us.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Nailed it. Between the elderly shut-ins freaking out over Covid, and the people having wargasms over replaying the Cold War, pretty sure I’ll be moving on soon.

[Hypo2]

You don’t even have to pay a compliment.

I pointed out that in both 2014 and now that oil was around $100/bbl and that due to the oil price Russia couldn’t afford to invade during the Trump presidency.

That made me a Putin fan…

[central_va]

I think we should invade Canada and Mexico.

[Trailerpark Badass]

I think that will fly right over....

[Irenic]

I thought the media and the left hated Joseph McCarthy and McCarthyism.

They seem to be playing dress up— trying to clunk around in his shoes.

McCarthy was right ya know.
