IMHO it’s the WH and media trying to marginalize and discredit the right.

Biden’s popularity in the toilet means the Right must be cast as the Devil in all situations. They are trying to claim Trump caused Putin to move, not them.

Putin felt he was at a tipping point. He wants to rebuild the USSR and the West is trying to hem him in by putting a NATO state on his border.

This is the fight for now, but Putin has much larger plans for the future.

But most of us in the West have ignored Ukraine and it’s importance in the eyes of the USSR. I know I did. Too busy focusing on our own internal fight against communism and immigration invasion.

“He wants to rebuild the USSR.”
More like Imperial Russia. Those borders.
Excpet they killed their King and his family so who is the new king?
You get two guesses and the first doesn’t count.

“Right Wing” is considered evil across North America, Europe and Russia, even if it makes no sense. Anyone who disagrees is labelled “right wing” or “Fascist,” or “Nazi.”

Russia is restoring its historical fullness, gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together – in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians.

This is EXACTLY what Hitler tried to do, just substitute German for Russian.

Putin himself told us the same thing in his bizarre rant about history he gave the world several days ago, claiming Ukraine doesn't even have the right to exist as a country.

What is Putin? Putin is a fascist. Putin is a Nazi.

That the Ukrainians and not Putin are the ones constantly called fascists and Nazis is just brazen deceitfulness and abuse of language, like when a black racist on MSNBC sputters that only white people can be racist.

Isn’t it already known that he wants the USSR back. The glory days of the Soviet Union.

It’s the Left trying to heap any support of Putin and his objectives as being something that Conservatives/Republicans support. Going into November the Dems will try to paint the Right as being pro-Putin

They won’t mention that Team Soetero/CornPop gave Ukraine MREs and blankets.

Pres Trump gave them Javelins, that they seem to be using, quite effectively and his stance with NATO is forcing those countries to step up rather than hide behind a US Armored or Infantry Division

Exactly. Brother, you get it. Keep pounding. The future of MAGA is in the balance and many don’t want to hear that.

Biden not only underestimated Putin (brilliant question by Doocy), he didn’t have a clue to begin with to even make an estimation of anyone. Putin underestimated the Ukranian will to fight. Now, he will have to kill a lot more of them (and he will) and perhaps even just about completely depopulate the Ukraine of Ukranians and move in Russians. If he doesn’t do that, he will have a permanent boil on his forehead from the hatred he will have created. Some problems are never solved, really.

What I see is people are analyzing what they think is going on regardless of the propaganda flying around, and anyone who doesn't immediately fall in line with pumping up the pro-Ukraine narrative is characterized as supporting Russia/Putin.

Why? Has Ukraine attacked Russia? If so, when?

So Putin sees himself not as an imperialist, but as the Abe Lincoln of greater Russia.

Including using his troops as cannon fodder?

“Reconquista”.

Or maybe the “filibustering” that US citizens did on the periphery of the early United States of America in Spanish-held Florida, and Mexican-Texas.

Another analogy is that Putin is playing the parts of both Kaiser Wilhelm I and his chief minister Otto Von Bismark. He’s building Russia by picking a series of international fights on the borders.
