The Ukraine is in a state of collapse and all your propaganda can't help.

Think so? Then Russia's right there too!

Mr. Jon Prestov, is a Russian deep-state operative it seems like.

Yeah, he took over as chief cheerleader for Putin after Cranked got banned.

You struck my conservative nerve and I struck your Soviet nerve.
Fair game.

Shortly thereafter, Kuhn was convicted of embezzling funds from the organization and was sentenced to prison. In the following years, a number of other German American Bund View This Term in the Glossary leaders were interned as dangerous aliens, and others were jailed for various offenses. By 1941 the membership of the organization had waned. After the United States entered World War II in December 1941, the US government outlawed the German American Bund.

Dude, if you have to resort to calling people “soviet” or “putin puffers” or “russian agents” - you’ve already lost. Try a new line of work.

We’ve watched 6 years of that BS in Washington DC and its media - with disastrous results for America.

That may still fly on other news sites and message boards, but this is still one place where you will get push-back.

Zelensky is doing exactly what you are demanding...ferreting out corruption and cleaning house while leading a country at war.

Zelensky is acting. He's an actor. Stopping a government employee from leaving Ukraine doesn't stop their spouse or any other family member from leaving Ukraine with U.S. taxpayer cash. It doesn't stop any non-Ukrainian family member from "visiting" and departing with our money either.

That is not the outlawing of political opponents.

Yes Japanese we’re interned and other things but that is not the wholesale outlaw of political opposition

The thing is... conservatives respect BORDERS.

That’s why we push the Biden administration to respect the Mexican/USA border, but he doesn’t do that yet. Because he thinks the unarmed invasion going on there right now is harmless. It is nevertheless a kind of invasion. And even if its done in an unarmed way, it causes low-intensity harm in the long run - one way or the other.

However, the Russian attack on sovereign Ukraine - an ALLY of America and the West - is worse, because Russia is using missiles, artillery, tanks, and is leveling towns and villages, killing people en mass every single day (mostly civilian Ukrainians and within in its own Russian military ranks). Russia is causing high-intensity harm for both Ukraine and Russia in a time-wise highly concentrated way. Its an illegal land-grabbing war launched by Russia on our ally Ukraine.

Imagine if the West had done the same... and invaded Russias ally Belarus!
Do you think Russia would have accepted that? Really?

Since you don’t adhere to the “respect-of-border” philosophy Russia/Ukraine, you can’t adhere to the respect of the US/Mexican border neither. No double standards can be applied here.

Thus, your are not a conservative. You have a Soviet mentality.
Indeed, Soviets hate borders, they are ALWAYS trespassing them. And you support that.

We recognize the struggle of the underground against the oppressive Russian government.

THEME SONG SUPPORT FOR RUSSIAN FREEDOM FIGHTERS:

“For What It’s Worth”

There’s somethin’ happenin’ here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
A-tellin’ me I got to beware

I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

There’s battle lines being drawn
And nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speakin’ their minds
A-gettin’ so much resistance from behind

I think it’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

What a field day for the heat (ooh-ooh-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singin’ songs and a-carryin’ signs (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side” (ooh-ooh-ooh)

It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life, it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line
The man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

We better stop, now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down

We better stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down
