“”Here in northern Michigan we see trucks often with Confederate flags flying.
We don’t take pictures and post them on twitter, along with ideas that Michiganders want to bring back the Confederacy.
There is at times a spirit associated with a time period, and it can be expressed with a flag.””

The USSR was a mass murdering, Europe enslaving, Gulag concentration camps, historical evil that only collapsed just recently and still has the nukes it has threatened the world with for 70 years, one of history’s greatest evils of all time and so recent that one of its officers is currently invading Ukraine with an Army still commanded by monsters from that evil empire, that isn’t merely a “ at times a spirit associated with a time period, and it can be expressed with a flag”

Most of those in the camps were Russians. Esp Orthodox clergy.

If you don’t get it, that’s ok. You aren’t Russian.

I have lived for a few months with Russians who told me a great deal about what it was like living in the USSR.

Your descriptions pale by comparison and really are just expressions of passionate hatred.

“Venezuela has invited long range Russian bombers to use bases in their country.”

Your response-—”Good for them.”

Frerepublic accepts that position today, we see it’s like frequently now.

Don’t project your hatred onto other people.

The history of your nation is not hidden, we have helped protect the world from your monsters for generations.

You seem indifferent to their “spirit”.

You need to get help.

You need to let people know those aren’t your words, and that you are taking them from websites.

"The argument is posted that the Russian regime does not tolerate the public display of sexual perversion, much less push "gay rights". True, but the Russians and for that matter the Chinese are carrying on the policies from the Stalinist and Maoist eras, respectively."

In the case of China, this is simply not true.

The CCP officially decriminalized homos in 1997 and removed them from their standard book of mental disorders in 2001. In 2017, the CCP approved civil marriages of homos via yiding jianhu ("guardianship appointment").

There are so many trannies and chopadik centers in Beijing and HK and Shanghai you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. The mf'ing PLA Military General Hospital in Beijing performs bottom and top surgery!

“I live in Michigan.”

Since you believe that the United States is going to be hit by Russian missiles in 6 or 7 months, shouldn’t you relocate?

For that matter, that doesn’t leave enough time for the Russians to station those long-range bombers that you want them to put in Venezuela.

I can’t say I blame him. Costs nothing to utter a few words. Also gives Biden an out when he tries to go slow on aid to Ukraine, even as Congress drags him along while he kicks and screams about WWIII.

Putin does know he could pull back to his own territory and avoid going up
against those tanks, right?

"There was a full accounting by the West German government for the crimes of the Nazis. Numerous former Nazis were imprisoned, and several billion dollars were paid to the Jewish victims of wartime persecution."

This also is simply not true.

Ike transferred thousands upon thousands of Nazis from internment and home arrest into the new Konrad Adenauer West German government -- Adenauer a man who had violated Prussian laws to advance NDSP Nazi Party goals before WWII -- and after being shut out of Nazi patronage after January 1933, begged no less than Göring to restore his mayor's pension ('I vas first to let the NDSP into Rhenish Prussia')!

The party he single-handedly formed out of leftover Nazis is the same party that schMerkel and Merz represent today -- the CDU.

You must remember that the Western powers, confronted with the bellicosity of the Soviet Bloc, realized that the initial plans to deindustrialize and neutralize Germany after the Nazi defeat were counterproductive to securing Europe from a Communist takeover. There were large Communist parties in Italy and France, and an impoverished and disarmed Germany would not provide any resistance to Communist forces pushing the Iron Curtain to the Pyrenees and the English Channel. Instead, West Germany became a free market, democratic republic. Most of the former Nazis released were not those responsible for the Holocaust or other major war crimes. Adenauer was imprisoned twice under the Nazi regime, and Ludwig Erhard, credited for free market policies that led to the "German Miracle", was connected to the anti-Nazi underground. Additionally, the West Germans paid billions in reparations to the victims of Nazi persecution.

The CDU may have changed its ideology since the days of Adenauer and Erhard, but so have other parties. The party of Jefferson, Jackson, and Cleveland was a small government, free market party. From FDR to Biden, Democrats have morphed into a socialist, authoritarian party. What is conservative about today's British Conservative Party?

the talking points suggest avoiding that border in posting, from what I can tell.

And yet they are still talking about doing that very thing. Precluding, uncategorically, Ukraine’s membership in NATO is what is required.

I’d say any talk of converting Mexico into a vassal state of Russia would be met with not a little belicosity.

George Kennan was right, 75 years ago, about Russia, the Western Alliance, and especially Ukraine.

But his prediction that containment, not confrontation, would eventually dissolve the Soviet Union and that NATO would overstep and cause the current very dangerous situation was just the musings of a musty geezer I guess.

Ukraine and Georgia applied to join NATO in 2008.

It was rejected by Germany and France for fear of “provoking Russia”. 6 weeks after that rejection, Russia in any case invaded Georgia.

Ukraine was not going to become a vassal state of the USA, no more than France or Germany or Poland or Estonia, members of NATO, and in any way vassals.

Putin tried to make Ukraine a vassal state like Belarus, but failed last March
