Of course that pro-Kremlin declaration makes you pro-Kremlin.
“Your argument would be valid if Russia had the ability to swallow all of Europe. They do not now, and never will have that capability.”
You assume Russia — or, more aptly, Putin, and those who share his mindset — agrees with you.
Since you are the epitome of abject stupidity, I will be gracious and attempt to edify you.
My sworn allegiance, and patriotic commitment is to the USA. Exclusively.
That’s why I detest you and your kind.
Your allegiance is to a parasitic multinational European alliance. And to a third rate eastern European country most Americans can’t find on a map. And, most of all, that allegiance is harmful to America and Americans.
A bunch of Alexander Vindeman’s.
Get it? You are the one that is Anti American. You and your kind.
“You assume Russia — or, more aptly, Putin, and those who share his mindset — agrees with you.”
After the last 11 months how could they possibly think otherwise?
“After the last 11 months how could they possibly think otherwise?”
Have you never heard of “lost causes?”
