It is very troubling to see the vast majority of Freepers completely taken in by this new racket. At least some of us old neocons learned our lesson after 20 years of supporting the same warmongering racket in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I wouldn’t say it’s the vast majority, seems closer to 50/50. And perusing some of the other conservative forums, I would say the support for this is much less. There’s always been a contingent on here who will support any war no matter what. Seems odd on a forum containing so many professed Christians. Actually had one guy with a tagline professing a reverence for life, while posting on a thread cheering on the torture of Russian prisoners of war. Kind of hard to take these hypocrites seriously, most of them seem clueless as to what is really going on.
Same here. I was quite surprised at some of them whom I’ve always viewed as sensible.

Yeah, I supported those, one of them physically. I still feel like we did some good things, but hindsight is definitely 20/20.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people here are simply tired of arguing with the Loudmouths on Ukraine and keep quiet until accurate news stories come out, such as those documenting the ties being their Ukrainian government and their Nazis, or yet another False Flag by the West/Ukraine/Media. In those stories you see a lot of people saying that WW3 isn’t worth it over Ukraine, and then only later to the Zelensky Mouthpieces come out and essentially say it is worth WW3.
So at least 5 to 1 against WW3, maybe even 10 to 1 against.
