The site is full of Putinistas gleeful with Putin’s illegal war; they seem to think a real conservative has no ethics, morals, pity for the weak, or sense of charity. They confuse conservatism with teachings Machiavelli, Nietzsche, and Lenin. I would have never thought so many “conservatives” could value amoral, ruthless, military aggression as a sign of strength.

No, we see a modern military unleashed and remember when our leaders had the will to wield power. The leaders we have now think a military is police. Or meals on wheels. Or nation builders.

A modern military power is real good at killing people and demolishing infrastructure. That is why we have a military. Military might backed by the will to turn it loose is the ultimate deterrent. Regan got it. Putin understands that. H.W. Bush understood that.

Sadly, many Americans no longer understand. Weakness invites attack. B52's with a bellyful of thermonuclear hell flying 24 - 7 -365 kept the Soviet Union at bay till it collapsed playing keep up with the Jetsons.

So if a fellow freeper sounds like a Putin supporter, consider the viewpoint. We can admire the tactics from an academic point of view while decrying the evil action.
