Stop your stupid, fake MSM spin. Its pathetic
Opposing US involvement in Ukraine for last 20 years, pointing out asinine deep state lies and propaganda does not make one “a Putin supporter.”
An interesting thing is happening in Europe. I don’t think I’d call it a solid trend yet, but...
Sweden has a new, Conservative (by Euro standards, anyway) PM, who is a firm supporter of Ukraine, and has just relegated their Ministry of Climate and Environment to 2nd tier status by placing it under the Ministry for Energy, Business and Industry.
In Italy, Giorgia Meloni, nearly a MIGA (Italian version of MAGA) has formed a new gov’t* and has been quite adamant about supporting Ukraine.

Her energy policies also seem hopeful:

And in the middle of all the chaos in the UK:

(The vote was not even close, in favor of allowing fracking.)
Sensible Euro energy policies will wreck Pooty and his pals in the long run, unless Russia can drastically reduce its government’s reliance on energy profits.
Wrong! That is a textbook example of the "Tu Quoque" Fallacy!
But since none of us here are actually Biden supporters, it's not even "Tu Quoque" - rather, just a diversion / deflection.

My wife is a Muscovite by birth. Our children are half-Russian, speak Russian, and know Russia.
What your "old and well-educated" friend said may be true. I hope it's true.
But before that can happen, Putin must be deposed / consigned to the scrap heap of history. And - unfortunately - a lot of young Russian soldiers are going to have to die before that is accomplished.
An even greater tragedy: A lot of Ukrainian civilians will also perish.

Right. Arrests o innocent civilians by the Dementis Joe DOJ/FBI for political reasons is much worse than anything Putin is alleged to have done in Russia on that front.
But since none of us here are actually Biden supporters,
Plenty of Biden supporters here. They just don't usually come right out and say it outright. You should read enough posts.
—”And - unfortunately - a lot of young Russian soldiers are going to have to die before that is accomplished.

Yes and yes.
Beyond a tragedy; more like the emperor tossing his conscripts into the volcano to appease the volcano.
I fully support Ukraine and yet I feel sorry for the frontline Russian troops.
At about 15min 18 sec a woman wailing on a Moscow bus, she has lost her son. Our son USMC Infantry was with a friend when he was KIA , Anbar. His mother screamed at the sky until she collapsed.
Pain for the rest of her days on earth.

NB: I do not agree with the commentator’s conclusions on this event, IMO the proletariat have little/no control of events.
Otherwise an interesting video.
