At one recent rally, some of Trump's supporters said Putin should have free rein, while others advocated sending in U.S. troops.

...COMMERCE, Ga. — As former President Donald Trump tries to refine his message about Russia's war against Ukraine, his base is splintered over the question of America's engagement in Eastern Europe.

"It's not our business," Peggy Bright, 57, said shortly before Trump spoke to an unusually restless and muted crowd here Saturday night...

...Alina Roberts, a Trump voter who was born in Latvia and lives in Atlanta, said at Saturday's rally that Putin cannot be stopped without direct U.S. intervention....

You're missing the point-Putin invaded a sovereign neighboring country.

How dare he. Perhaps he’s the last man alive who doesn’t know that the United States of America is the only country that’s allowed to invade other sovereign countries.

Your right; there no “good side” for Americans too be on here.

Joe Biden blackmailed TPTB in Ukraine, threatening to withhold $1 billion, to fire its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in March 2016. We know who’s running the show over there, and it ain’t the Ukrainian people.

Putin is in charge in Russia and he’s still KGB in his heart and soul.

Please stop with that infantile nonsense. The U.S. doesn’t even protect “democracy” right here at home.

Ok, so the US is not perfect, so therefore we are like Putin's Russia. Talk about "infantile nonsense".

Once again, you're moronically equating US foreign policy with Putin's. The US is NOT empire building, Putin is.

You sound like a 400-lb. man giving out weight loss and fitness tips. The sound you hear isn’t people cheering you on. It’s people laughing at you.

“I am afraid a bunch of pro-Putin people here are actual Russians from Russia.”

That is most likely true how they INSTANTLY defend Putin and point out how the US did something too, building some phony moral equivalence. The Soviets did that last thing all during the cold war.

The term “libertarian” has come to mean too many different things to too many different people.

Give it up, dude. You have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.

The U.S. has military bases in more than 40% of the “sovereign” nations of the world. Do you really think they are there to protect democracy? LOL.

Ditto. Having differing opinions in a constituency is no indication that "his base is splintered."

Wishful thinking from the MSM.

Its usually with the permission of the local DEMOCRATICALLY elected government.

“Bright’s sentiments reflect those of one wing of the Trump base — as well as the former president’s early praise of Putin...”

It is not necessary to read beyond that sentence.

Agreed.

In addition, the vast majority of Trump supporters know that we wouldn’t even be in this situation if not for Biden.

Basically the divide is how to deal with cleaning up Biden’s mess.

“You're missing the point-Putin invaded a sovereign neighboring country. Saying both countries do "bad acts" is nonsense. ONE INVADED THE OTHER!”

Just as the US has done at least 7 times in the last 40 years

When you explain to people that sending the mugs would be considered by Russia as an act of war, people no longer support it.

Important difference, Putin is trying to install his puppet TOTALITARIAN regime in Ukraine.
