Still deflecting?

Anything to turn attention away from Putin’s lousy performance!

“Q: What is 150 yards long and eats potatoes? A: A Moscow queue waiting to buy meat.”

“Q: What does a Russian bride get from her husband on her wedding day that is long and hard? A: A new last name.”

“When Stalin was in office, he once noted that there were mice in his study and complained to President Kalinin about this. The President thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t you put up a sign reading ‘Collective Farm’? Half the mice will die of hunger and the other half will run away.”

“He is serious as are most Russian men. They also don’t have much of a sense of humor.”

Boring or Stoic? The leadership of mother Russia for last 300 years has probably worn out the citizenry. Those poor devils have been seriously abused by monarchs, empires, revolutionaries, and communists... the ass kicking continues.

Another stupid comment of zero substance.
Don’t you like North Korea? Your hero Vlad kills people with their weapons.

Ukrainians are perceived to bear a grudge against Russians (derided as Moskali by Ukrainians)

The Soviet Union has launched the first man into space. A Ukrainian shepherd, standing on top of a hill, shouts over to another Ukrainian on another hill to tell the news. “Mykola!” / “Yes!” / “The moskali have flown to space!” / “All of them?” / “No, just one.” / “So why are you bothering me then?”

"Your comparison of Biden and Putin."

So basically you're saying Biden is better than Putin. Got it!

Yes Biden is a filthy pos and he’s better than Putin.

If you don’t understand that you are seriously uninformed.

Biden is also better than Stalin, Hitler,Xi, the leaders of Hamas and a lot of other mass murdering dictators.

Saying that Biden is “better” than Putin is zero praise of Biden.

From he's Hitler, he's Stalin and he's dead or dying of various forms of cancer to, now, he's boring!

Don't watch the interview! You'll be bored!

The propaganda is falling apart as quickly as the Ukraine military.

“Carlson asked for evidence that the CIA blew up the Nord Stream gas pipeline and then just accepted it when Putin said “I won’t get into details.” Hold on — the man who just bored us to tears with his fantasy history of Ukraine-Russia is suddenly not big on “details”?”

Not exactly. He said getting into details would reveal the sources, human and otherwise. And that proving it would be meaningless because the western leaders and media would simply blow it off. And he would have blown his sources for nothing.

The gaslighting is strong.

Thanks for confirming that.

Last thing I knew, Putin wasn't destroying this country's infrastructure and economy, and turning it into a third-world commie $hithole.

Putin didn't open the southern border wide, and invite terrorists, criminals, and Chinese Nationals inside our country by the thousands, then steal money from the American taxpayer to pay for their support.

Putin didn't leave billions of dollars in U.S. war machinery in Afghanistan, or leave Americans behind there, while flying Afghanis out to this country. Putin didn't murder 13 of our Marines at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.

Putin didn't send billions to Iran, so they could prop up terrorist groups like Hamas, who then attacked Israel on October 7th, and the Houthis, who have been attacking our Navy ships in the Red Sea. Putin didn't take the Houthis off the U.S. terrorist list. Putin didn't get 3 of our soldiers murdered in a recent drone attack in Jordan, and then call their families, and make the phone call all about himself.

You may not like Putin, but he hasn't weakened the U.S., or brought this country's military to its current, devastated State. As far as I'm concerned, Russia and Ukraine are Europe's problem, not ours. There is no national security interest for the U.S. to be involved in that conflict whatsoever. I don't give a rat's ass what happens to either of them, because both countries have made RATS and Repukes very wealthy over the years, and are still making them rich.

Sounds like you prefer fighting endless proxy wars, where the only individuals who win anything in the end, are the politicians on both sides of the aisle, their family members, and big donors who get to line their pockets. You do realize we've been fighting proxy wars with Russia and China since the Korean War, and you can now add Iran to that mix too. And while we were "fighting the spread of communism" overseas, this country was invaded without a shot being fired, and taken over by commie-fascists, previously called Democrats, who have been trying to create a one-party State here ever since.

My friend you are far from understanding reality.

Pol Pot didn’t open our Southern Border either. Nor did Putin. Nonetheless they are/ were far worse than Biden.

Biden is a dangerous and evil fool but I note one item on your list - giving aid to Iran.

Putin is directly involved in arming Iran, buying arms from Iran, and aiding Iran in developing a nuclear weapon, as well as supporting Iran in many murderous and terror schemes around the world.

But you seem to think no foreign leader can be worse than Biden because Biden does bad things here and they do not.

That’s like saying Hitler wasn’t as bad as FDR because Hitler didn’t start New Deal spending in America.

It’s frankly ridiculous, unless you are honestly ignorant of the reality of Vladimir Putin.

You have to go way back to the Kyivan Rus. Russians, Ukrainians are 'one people'.

Not my words. But Putin's.

"My friend you are far from understanding reality."

My friend, your reality is quite a bit different from mine. I grew up in the 50's, with the threat of nuclear war every day, and Khrushchev telling us Russia would "bury us." It wasn't Russia that buried us, it was our own government. I don't give a crap if some other country's leader is evil. What I care about is whether the person or persons running our government is/are evil. You seem to be more concerned with how other countries are being run, instead of your own. I believe in America First, not some country like Ukraine, that's 5,000 miles away, and the size of Texas. RATS are trying to turn Texas blue, but all you can say is Putin is a bad man.

Excuse me but your reasoning is twisted.
You complain that Kruschev said “we will bury you” because actually American politicians “buried” us.

Do you honestly think that means Kruschev didn’t really threaten us? Or that the Soviet Union wasn’t a real threat just because our politicians suck?

Ronald Reagan understood Russia was the “evil empire”.

I guess Kruschev, Breshnev and now Putin were really heroes?

These are foreign enemies. They exist. They don’t become innocent just because Biden is a pos.

Lol I read your post again.

Are you really that blind, you believe because democrats are trying to take over Texas, that it means no foreign enemies are worth our attention.

It’s just silly.

"Excuse me but your reasoning is twisted."

Twisted to you anyway. You just can't accept someone who doesn't accept the propaganda that the main stream media, our lying, scheming government, or Congressional war hawks are selling. I've heard it all before, and found out what they were saying wasn't entirely true. The fact that you listen to the same people who have been trying to get rid of Trump these past 7 years, tells me you're not a very discerning individual, so please excuse me if I don't follow lock-step with your line of thinking. And you never responded to any of my comments about our involvement in decades of proxy wars, which tells me you chose to ignore that.

Yes the United States is a world power and let’s pray to God people like you don’t bring that to an end, because our fate in a world governed by China, Iran, North Korea, Hamas etc is not going to be pretty.

All the people you are ranting against kept America safe and free for at least 75 years, and include great conservatives like Reagan, Goldwater and Eisenhower.

You want to ignore the reality of this world and it will bite you in the Butt.

Even though Biden sucks.
