Because you Neocons declared Putin a war criminal.

Now I'm confused. Definition of Neocon:

Faith in the free market is one important belief of neocons, but even more important is their support of interventionism. In other words, neocons support actively promoting democracy around the world, even if that means using military force. Neocon is short for neoconservative, which adds the neo-, or "new," prefix to conservative. The original neocons abandoned their formerly leftist ideals in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Promoting democracy by force is no better than spreading Islam by the sword. I doubt that most FReepers want to force our system down the throats of less-than-willing foreigners. So call this reference to those with whom you disagree as neocons what it is: name calling.

Neocons are defined by their interventionist foreign policy, a foreign policy that is about to seriously damage middle class Americans. It’s not my word, it’s their word and if they aren’t comfortable with it, perhaps they should abandon their philosophy since it has produced nothing but death and destruction for decades. #MAGA
