Actually you presented it wrong.
“Putin lovers” on Free Republic are in actual reality terrorism supporters who relish the Houthi daily attacking the U.S. Navy
Putin has become like Hamas, an Iranian surrogate.
You must never ignore that simple but very important fact
I don’t believe I presented it wrong, bert. I don’t believe you understand the point I made, and the aspect with which I take issue with.
My observation is that the zealots on these threads divide people into two camps, supporters of Russia or supporters of Ukraine. To them, there is no other option.
If you either support Russia or you DON’T support Ukraine, then you are a “Putin Lover” or “Putinista” as those who frequent these threads like to brand people.
If you either support Ukraine or you DON’T support Russia, then you are a supporter of the “Globohomo-ists”, or a “Zeeper”.
I find both camps idiotic. These threads might be useful in some way, providing insight or commentary that cannot be obtained because they are filled with propaganda from both sides, name calling, and just outright stupidity.
