I had a friend at the first Astoria Grande docking protest in Batumi. He said the Russians were very arrogant. When asked about the Russian-occupied parts of the Republic of Georgia, one Russian said, “They are ours, this is the Soviet Union now.” |
I believe that's a fake story, just more propaganda. The Ukrainian activists on FR insist that we treat Russia like it's the USSR and your anecdote just 'happens' to support Ukie talking points. What a coincidence. And this fake incident will now be cited as 'The Russians admit....blah blah blah."
The propaganda is from Moscow. You just don’t get it. Putin is the Soviet KGB guy. He bemoaned the loss of the Soviet Union, he said, “Russia knows no borders”. He invaded both the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine. He dedicates NEW Stalin statues.
You dismiss my friend’s report but you sure love Moscow’s line. You are a biased Moscow stooge.
1) ...open therapy for those who want to somehow contribute to the Z-government's war effort but only have salvos of words to send to Freepers,...name calling as the preferred way of dealing with their 'enemies.'2) a click machine daily posting the same 'sources,' thereby assuring more clicks to some heavily monetized YouTube channels,
3) demonstrably the same handful of cheerleaders for the UMC reverend Denys Davydov and a small group of amateur Dutch lads, and....
That you are, according to the small mind that launched that salvo at you, a "biased Moscow stooge" is evidence that there is no real geopolitical discussion to be had.
The current crop of pro-Z government enthusiasts will only allow a dualistic view. If not for Z, then pro-P. Those daring to hold to "both are thugs" and "not my circus, not my clowns" and 'our US national debt is unsustainable' are targets to them. Only TWO sides are allowed, and only ONE is correct, is the thinking,
Never mind that this "event" is two non-NATO nations warring.
Never mind that NATO governments are emptying out their own defense materiel to "not actually fight" in this war.
Never mind that this e-war is now spread to Free Republic by two daily, consistent and repetitive threads.
And never mind that you have been accused -- not just name calling, anymore -- of being a "biased Moscow stooge."
Never mind that Free Republic's Robinson specifically said of this conflict, it is "a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked."
To have a "difference of opinion" is now cause for a small, needy group to fight with words any "difference of opinion" not their own. The war is spread to Free Republic, and is a war about money, Click bait money, as best it is documented.
Zelensky is not synonymous with Ukraine, anymore than Biden is synonymous with our United States. Putin is not synonymous with Russia, and von der Leyen is not synonymous with all the European Union. Stoltenberg is not NATO, period. Governments change in time. Politicians -- most certainly corrupt by degree -- change in time. The war will come to an end.
The rancor of being called a "biased Moscow stooge" will linger, I imagine. Some name-calling aimed my way linger too. At his point, pro-Z or not, nobody is being convinced to change their views.
Best wishes.
I have always wondered why a fat handful of Freepers are utterly obsessed with Youcrayne and post mountains of pro-Youcrayne propaganda. Yet, when it comes to these same 6-7 hardcore Youcrainiacs, they almost never post anything about America's massive troubles nor do they, for the most part, comment on threads that do not concern Youcrayne. Weird.
Now it's time for a commercial interruption featuring a vile, two foot tall, grifting, gay dancing puppet!
