Putin is engaged in immoral acts: targeting and murdering civilians, destroying cities, breaking international law, Law of War and many other conventions of morality and international relations

Replace Putin with Zelensky and you'd be right. And, Zelensky did ALL that with the full blessing of the Biden regime while working with neo-Nazis.

Meanwhile, over the past five years, WE had a rigged election. We're the ones that had HUNDREDS of political prisoners. The Biden regime tried to imprison the leader of the opposition party.

I am so sick of Zeeptards obsessed with Russia that ignore the far greater corruption WITHIN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.

And, in case you've missed, Trump is taking sledgehammer to your Deep State pals whose meddling in Ukraine set this war off.

Piss off, you sick, twisted Zeeper freak.

“Replace Putin with Zelensky and you’d be right.”

Zelensky didn’t claim Russia had no right to exist and invade it.

And Attacker is not interchangeable with Defender. Have you forgotten your Marxism-Leninism lessons already?

You're full of it.

We fomented an illegal coup in Ukraine and installed a puppet government hostile to both Moscow and the ethnic and cultural Russian population in Ukraine. That setoff a civil war in Ukraine that led to this war.

The people of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk had absolutely NO OBLIGATION to live under the rule of a Ukrainian nationalists/neo-Nazi government hellbent on persecuting, killing and driving them out of their homeland. They had EVERY right to seek their independence and/or join the Russian Federation.

Nor was Russian government under any obligation to Ukrainian nationalists and NATO try to cutoff access to their naval base in Crimea, which Russia had operated since before the US Constitution was written, or allow NATO to train, fund and arm a 600,000 man Ukrainian army on its border.

We, under Biden and Obama, absolutely have been the aggressors in Ukraine. If you agree with their foreign policy, BECOME A DEMOCRAT.

The rest of us are done with a foreign policy designed to enrich corrupt politicians like the Bidens and corrupt, rich oligarchs like George Soros, who has made millions in Ukraine operating NGOs there through money from USAID.

You're either grossly ignorant or getting a paycheck from defending the mess we made in Ukraine.

Fortunately, the CIA's clandestine color revolution operation is ending with the end of USAID as an unaccountalbe, rogue entity.

Trump is looking for ways to get more Ukrainians men killed so he can get some minerals underground in a foreign country. The war is over now so Trump should just stop funding it because it is taxpayer money going to a losing war. Instead Trump wants more dead Ukrainians and more Ukrainian infrastructure destroyed so Trump can brag about getting Ukrainian assets. This is not only stupid it is immoral. Trump promised to end the war on Day 1. He is now into two weeks of proving this to be a lie. This is his stupidest move since taking office.
