Yah, some of the Russian troops in Ukraine are “just following orders.”

Go with that.

How is your neocon Libya Project coming along, globalistboy?

I hear that the Libya oil supply to southern Europe is being disrupted even now.

That's going to leave a mark on the energy problem.

Right on. The Putin trolls here are trying to associate what we here on FR all oppose - the disaster that is the Biden presidency- with support for a free and independent Ukraine. It’s pretty transparent and quite pathetic, actually.

which to me is childish

What is it with you EuroPeeings pukes and your insistence on calling any opposing opinion "childish"?

Childish is brain-dead dipsticks like Oaf Doltz and his moron Greenie trollop Annalena "Bareback", who cut off their Russian energy nose to spite their faces.

Distract and Deflect. Distract and Deflect. Rinse and Repeat.

You are really bad at Whatabotism, you know? That and your empty accusations about everyone who calls you at your game a “neocon” or “globalist” in another pathetic attempt to smear them

For the record, I think getting involved in Libya was a huge mistake, so does that still make me a neocon?

You took a 3 month break from posting on FR back in the day because you were in a NeverTrump snit, NeverTrump troll.  winking face face with tears of joy face with tears of joy

That goes DIRECTLY to your lack of political judgment on weighty issues like Trump and the Ukraine.

I’m surprised your buddy JonPreston and the other Soviets haven’t appeared in this thread yet. Get out of here.

Don’t worry, your Kommissars will give you a new assignment, I’m sure.

No American conservative uses NeoCon. You're an agitator and should be prevented from posting here per the rules.

Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We're here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment. We're not here to debate liberals. We do not want our pages filled with their arrogant, obnoxious, repugnant bile. Liberals, usurpers, and other assorted malcontents are considered unwelcome trolls on FR and their accounts and or posts will be summarily dismissed at the convenience of the site administrators.

Nah, let him (her? it?) stay.

The angry outbursts, baseless accusations, name calling, and deflections help show these folks for what they are - pathetic and feckless.

Russian energy could be fairly easily replaced by fracking in Europe or (as is happening) by boosting LNG transportation.

And what's childish is simply pouting about not liking the US global role and fantasizing that the US should abandon that.

This of course would be a bonanza for Russia and China, which would explain why you support it.

No. I don’t want real conservative Americans to think they’re interacting with other conservatives. FR needs some housecleaning.

I was here for the Free Republic primary wars of 2015-2016.

You were missing in action during that time frame.

I don't need lectures from faux "conservatives".

Apparently you don’t understand that the USSR and Russia are far from the same. The Russians took down the Evil Empire in a bloodless revolution. They are not “Communist”, and anyone informed and honest would be hard put to demonstrate that the “West” is substantially better than Putin’s Russia. No regime is perfect, but before you get your self-righteous sneer on, try to bear in mind that western governments have waged a relentless psyops operation against their peoples in connection with respect to “Covid”, a hoax that destroyed businesses, livelihoods, has injured or killed millions (the vax and the criminal Covid treatment protocols). Putin isn’t promoting abortion or the sodomite lifestyle, nor is he advocating the chemical and surgical mutilation of children and adults in the name of gender ideology. Unlike many officials in the West, Russian officials know what a woman is. Russia doesn’t have nearly 1,000 military bases around the world, but the US does. Russia doesn’t operate 46 biowarfare labs in Mexico or Canada, but the US operated 46 biowarfare labs in the Ukraine. Russia didn’t engineer a coup against the democratically elected government of Ukraine; the US did (with help from Soros, some oligarchs, and others). Russia was not waging war against the ethnic Russians in the Donbass, Odessa, and elsewhere during the 8 years prior to the start of the SMO. It was the US/NATO (starting with the Clinton administration) that broke the promise that Russia relied on not to move NATO “one inch east”. Unlike you, I publicly challenged a Soviet spokesman in Moscow in 1975 about their bullshit rationale for the invasion of the Czechoslovakia (In the case of our international group, the claim was that they were sure the Germans were about to invade.).

The fact that you live in the Czech Republic doesn’t make you informed. There are lots of people who live in the US who think George Floyd was murdered. He wasn’t, and living in the US doesn’t make their belief any less false. With an extensive psyops operation, people can be made to belligerently believe lots of things that are false, for instance the Covid hoax. Are you vaxxed? Did you “social distance”? Wear a mask? If so, you have no serious critical intelligence.

You should be worried about the EUSSR, NATO, and the WEF. No amount of western arms will change the outcome in Ukraine, but to understand that, you’d have to understand more than the psyops propaganda being ladled out by the Neocons in the Biden administration, NATO, etc. The Biden driven sanctions are destroying the European economy, and the Euro is in the tank. Apart from old timey Cold Warriors like you, a lot of Europeans are seeing through the Globohomo Ukraine-Liberal World Order nonsense. Johnson is gone. If we had a parliamentary system, President Depends and his administration would be gone; Scholz is standing on the precipice; the Dutch are in revolt; the Yellow Vests and others are threatening serious political change in France, etc. Do you realize that most of the world is not supporting our proxy war against Russia? Probably not, because that would require knowing more than the crude war propaganda the media gives you - say, for example, what happened at the recent G-20.

You aren’t going to enjoy the world that will eventually result from the knock-on consequences of this unnecessary war that the US/NATO/WEF caused and is prolonging. Hell, you are probably going to have a very bad winter unless something is done to stop this US inspired proxy war. In the meantime, the remnants of the UFA are being ground to pieces, and many Russian soldiers and civilians are dying, too. The conditions at the front are horrendous. The war isn’t a sporting event or a video game. The uncomfortable facts are, especially for an American, that the US/NATO/WEF/Soros are responsible for this war; the war is destroying Ukraine; and the war was essentially over some time ago. The Russians are taking their time in the east and south to minimize their own and civilian casualties and to preserve as much infrastructure as they can. The Russians almost certainly don’t want to go past the Dnieper (and a southern arc to Transnistria. But, if NATO gets further involved, the Russian army will roll west, and it won’t hesitate to use it’s heavy conventional weapons in a devastating way that we haven’t seen in the Donbass. Nobody except the demented Neocons wants to see a direct NATO/Russia war, but you, in particular, better pray that it doesn’t happen.

You know you are dealing with trolls when they treat Newsweek as a credible source.

Sorry, but it is almost a distinction without a difference. Even before 1917 Russia had the most despotic government in Europe. The Tsarist regime was unlike any other government in Europe. It was very similar to Oriental despotic regimes where the ruler “owned” the country. There were no restrictions (legal or moral) placed on the ruler. Even members of high nobility had no rights in relation to the ruler. Yes, in practice, the early 20th century Russian regime was less absolutist, but it was still really bad.

As far as Russian expansionism is concerned, Russia simply has no right to tell Ukraine what its policies should be like. Putin, however, said that the Ukrainians couldn’t be an independent nation. How is it not genocide if you deny another nation’s right to exist and then invade the nation with your military?
