Considering both aides are full of thugs, I don’t care who wins this one.
It is empire that Russia not become an empire again.
Well I do.
I will support and root for the thug who has not started taking chunks of neighboring countries' territory, and who is armed to the teeth with high tech weapons.
In other words, the underdog.
When Ukraine starts invading neighboring countries, I might reconsider.
“Considering both aides are full of thugs, I don’t care who wins this one.”
Why are we reprinting Ukrainian propaganda at Free Republic, anyway? You’re right, this is the Spanish Civil War in the East, and we should stay the hell out of it. I’ve seen way too much rah-rah here, taking Ukraine at it’s word on some tossed-baby caliber propaganda.
Ukraine has been rebuilding its army by calling up citizens. It’s not a fast process given how the billions the previous president and his crony stole. Some units are being equipped by donations.
Using the term thug indiscriminately ignores the reality of a people that just want to be left alone. Putler needs to be seriously hurt. Economic action that severely complicates his relationship with the of the oligarchs is in order.
