Glad is delusional
Yup. As long as it remains communist
Or maybe they just hate communism
Both self avowed communists who hate the west
A non-surprisingly large number of so-called freepers lives in Moscow and uses that thingy called internet to provide for their families.
Never forget the Russian culture was heavily influenced by the Mongol hordes.
Yes. For a large group of people, “Russia Bad! Putin Very Bad!” is their mantra.
I don’t get it.
I’m in a third group that thinks Putin has some valid ideas and that we are not hearing the whole truth about Ukraine or any other major issues, but also that Putin has flaws as big as our own leaders, in different areas.
The globalism vs Putin battle is not good vs evil either way round, it is two forms of evil battling for position. There are no large-scale ideologies or forces in the world today that we should support, just a return to the Trump agenda.
You’re right. I’m a boomer myself, but fear too many are thick-skulled neocons. Most had their blue & yellow lapel pins on before social media told them to do it. Golly, they love themselves a good bloody war…especially when they get to order the deaths of other people’s children.
100%. Look where fighting 75 years BS wars lead by incompetent and corrupt politicians and generals has gotten us? Amazing how fast so many revert back into their neocon mode and side up with Biden/Soros/Schwabe, et al. How can anyone think the fed gov reps their best interest? I’m not saying Russia is some great nation, etc but it isn’t our fight. These clowns want WW3 so I’m sure that’s what we’ll get, but history will not treat this den of thieves and vipers well.
This boomer was right there in the fight during the Cold War and saw what the Soviet defeat really meant for those who for a great number of decades stood in endless queues for food, and other goods, years long waiting lists to move into a questionably "better" apartment, or purchasing gas on the fly from a black market truck on the highway. The Russian people would never go back to Communism and neither would Putin.
This Russia/Ukraine conflict became a little clearer to me when I found out my next door neighbor who for many years had said she and her late husband were Jewish people from Moscow who fled from Russian repression, but after this invasion told me she was an ethnic Ukrainian and thought Zelenskyy was the greatest leader who ever lived. She had never made a distinction between Russian and Ukrainian up until then.
