I’ve been saying this for weeks: I am baffled by the fact that otherwise rational and intelligent FReepers have become complete morons over this war. Suddenly, they have forgotten how to think, they no longer understand history, they’re okay with a foreign power invading a sovereign nation, they think it’s no big deal that Russians are raping children and murdering civilians, and they honestly believe that “Neo-Nazis” are in charge everywhere in Ukraine even though the president is Jewish.

Most of the ‘morons’ are trolls or shills.

Don’t worry about them.

It’s either ideology which we seen in the Twitter debacle lately, or money which means the russians pay.

I have to refuse to think any actual sentient person can support putin/russia at this stage.

Somebody (Was it Mencken?) said you can never go wrong underestimating the intelligence of the American people. The same thing applies to posters on Free Republic.

I’m convinced the Russians, Chinese and Iranians all have agents or bots set up to infiltrate forums like Free Republic to sow confusion and dissension. Most of the Putin perverts are just stupid fools but quite a few are actually Russians.

Maybe because we’re watching it happen here in America and the govt keeps telling us it’s no big deal. Borders don’t seem to matter in our country, but God forbid Russia invades a “sovereign country” on the other side of the world!

Well, since you're having trouble understanding things, let me help you out:

We currently have an individual acting as president of the United States who was installed through a stolen election, who is clearly senile, who regularly molests children ON CAMERA and appears to have sexually molested his own children and grandchildren, who regularly meddled in Ukrainian governmental affairs when he was vice-president and has a son who was receiving what could only be interpreted as dirty money from Ukrainian businesses for years, who now declares that we all must embrace the possibility of WWIII in order to intervene in this Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Meanwhile, the main cadre of war drum-beaters is the same US Congress that voted to impeach President Trump TWICE on evidence provided by our corrupt intelligence agencies and proven to be false.

At the same time, our horribly corrupt and incompetent news media, which is dutifully reporting how badly the Russian army is getting massacred at the same time that they are supposedly oppressing and raping the entirety of Ukraine, was so diligent in its research and reporting of events in Ukraine that they couldn't even figure out that the Ukrainian footage of the glorious "Ghost of Kiev" fighter ace knocking Russian pilots out of the sky was actually footage from a f**king video game.

And that's just the first few inches of the rabbit hole.

But sure, you go ahead on and put that Ukraine flag proudly on your Twitter account.

And by the way, George Soros is also Jewish, and that dude is Nazi as hell.
