Putin is not a Marxist.
The people of Ukraine should be able to join whatever country they damn well please without over half of the world trying to meddle with their choices.
If I was Ukrainian I’d want to join Russia too. They’ve been living in a sh1thole for the past 20 years.
Ever hear of the Holodomor?
Perhaps the Russians, Russian speakers, Communists, and those nolstalgic for the days of the Soviet Union who are living in Ukraine want back into Russia. Most of those in the West, though, do not.
And as far as Putin is concerned, he is a hardline Soviet leader and Communist with an image team and a makeover.
Here’s what I don’t get.
We have a situation where the people of that area have made a conscious choice to vote for the lesser of what they consider two evils, both of which are at best, Socialist, at worst, Marxist.
This has greatly upset a number of Freepers who made the conscious choice to vote for what they considered to be the lesser of two evils in the last election, both of which were at best, Socialist, at worst, Marxist.
And no one seems to notice the inherent hypocrisy.
Russia is our enemy.
I’m talking to about ten people from the Ukraine at this time, and none of them share you idiotic take on this.
What the hell is wrong with you? You think it is okay for Russia to march in and take over other sovereign nation’s territory? Really?
Well then I guess Mexico should just march into Texas too and annex it, since you think that’s a swell idea over in the Ukraine.
If you were Ukrainian and wanted to join Russia, you would have to have a short memory or just be stupid.
