“ Not a U.S. Senator but a disgraced nutcase formerly of the Virginia State Legislature and now on Putin’s payroll.”

Thanks for saving me (and likely others) the time it would have taken going down that rabbit hole.

Maybe you should explain how Russians come to these views.

1.The one true church survived the fall of Rome, and relocated to Constantinople and Byzantium.

2.The one true church further relocated to Kievan Rus.

3.Finally, the one true church further relocated to the Duchy of Moscovy, renamed the Russian Empire, and ruled by the Czar (Russian for Caesar). Hence, the one true church is the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Germans had a similar, but different story. The German story is more about government than church and government. The Holy Roman Empire moved to the north. Eventually, the Holy Roman Empire was succeeded by the German Empire, and ruled by the Kaiser (German for Caesar).

As for Ukrainians being prostitutes, Russians have always looked upon Ukrainians as “little Russians,” with a connotation of inferiority.

Finally, as for Putin being elected, yes he was. His main opponents were (1) the communist party candidate, and (2) an ultra-nationalist candidate. Putin and his party, United Russia, was the best of the three main parties, or maybe I should say the least worst.

Only recently have decent center-right (or, “conservative” here in America) and center-left (or, “liberal”) parties entered the Duma. But, still, they’re each pretty small.

Russia eventually will win against Biden’s pedo-trafficking proxy war and good riddance

For a newbie who signed into FR this spring, you seem awfully well versed in the standard Russian troll memes. Are you sure you weren’s kicked out of FR recently, or decided to hide under a new name?

There you go again with those well polished trollish memes. Gee that writing sounds familiar.

They didn’t have much choice

They are angling for negotiations now to try to save power

If western Ukraine goes rump

So do Z and the oligarchs

So much Uke dead

And the result could have been settled 3/22

Only a lunatic is pro-war; which describes those here on FR who support Russia’s invasion of its smaller and weaker neighbor (an invasion that began in 2014). Russia started this war; yet, it’s telling that you call it the “uke war.” Ukraine’s involvement is as the defender; Russia’s involvement is as the aggressor. Logic: No aggressor, no defender. Thus, this is Russia’s war.

You’re willfully ignorant of other facts you probably know but choose to ignore in order to confirm your bias on the subject at hand

You don’t post globalist media articles and retort all day so maybe you’re simply a Cold War never ended sort which I can respect even if I disagree

We have those too

You’re good on Dixie I’ll give u that (very important to me I know that’s a big secret here lol)and that distinguishes you from much of your current company

I could say the same about you.

Do I have a bias? Yeah: I generally support a country that has been invaded by a larger and stronger neighbor without legitimate justification. Just as I have always opposed bullies beating up on smaller and weaker victims. It’s pretty fundamental.

Cold War? Russia has always been a bully. And it has always been duplicitous and untrustworthy. So, really, the Cold War actually never ended; though it did have a brief “time-out,” that neither side respected.

That’s simply reality.

The forum standards are not what they used to be.
