Nice to see Russia doing some good for a change.
There need to be legal consequences for women who get abortions.
Putin’s Russia is on the right side of many things. Restrictions on abortion, the importance of religion in society, etc. Russia could have joined Poland and Hungary as examples of what Western civilization should be like.
But no. Putin had to overreact to NATO provocations, and cross a sovereign border. He is now killing innocents and breaking things. Pity. He could have been a beacon of hope - a good example - instead of the war criminal that he is.
Maybe that's why we hear (and see) the constant actions for "regime change" in Russia coming from Washington DC
As well it should be.
This whole thing drives me crazy. As I noted earlier, Putin could have had been a great influence for good. But then he threw it all away be invading Ukraine.
But wait. As you noted, the United States keeps calling for regime change in Russia. That’s none of our business! It’s no different than if Russia or China aggressively agitated for regime change in the United States because we invaded Iraq.
Washington was right. Avoid foreign entanglements.
America has become way too Godless to ever expect that here.
Too bad we didn’t listen to him, although World War 2 was definitely justified!
We’ve been Godless for a very long time!
Dang right!
Pressuring a Woman to Keep Her Baby Could Become Criminal Offense in Kalifornia
The Soviet Union, under Lenin, became the first country to have abortion available, on request, often for no cost. On October 1920 the Bolsheviks made abortion legal within the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic with their “Decree on Women’s Healthcare”.
Under Stalin, in 1936, the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union made abortion illegal again, stemming largely from concerns about population growth as well as concerns for the medical dangers of abortion.
Given what NATO/US/CIA did in Ukraine prior to 2022, going back to 2014, and before that, Putin did what he had to do.
I hesitate to speak for George Washington. But I think he would have understood our response to Pearl Harbor and to 9/11.
But I think he would have been sickened by our involvement in Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. None of those wars threatened our core national interests in the least.
“Pressuring a Woman to Have an Abortion Could Become Criminal Offense in Russia”
This will REALLY anger the Ukraine Cheerleaders - the idea of a government NOT wanting dead babies.
This is why Russia must be destroyed.
Do you think George Washington approved of France funding the American Revolution? I don’t think it was in their Core National Interest.
“Given what NATO/US/CIA did in Ukraine prior to 2022, going back to 2014, and before that, Putin did what he had to do.”
I think many here are simply TOO LAZY to understand what was going on there, including what was looking to be a genocide on the order of Europe of 80 years ago, also committed by a government of hard-core Nazis.
...either they’re too lazy, or they prefer not to admit what they know.
> Putin did what he had to do <
That is not an empty argument. NATO was expanding eastward. And NATO was treating Russia as if it were some minor country, one whose concerns did not matter at all.
Well, Russia’s concerns do matter! Russia was invaded from the west not once but three times (by Napoleon, by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and then by Hitler). Each time the Russian people suffered terribly. Putin had a duty to prevent this from happening again.
But Putin wildly overreacted - much as Bush II wildly overreacted by invading Iraq. So many innocents died. So Putin and Bush are both war criminals in my book. Of course, your mileage may vary.
