I don’t care how it ends, since neither country is run by saints.

“Who cares if Germany has invaded Poland and Finland and France? Hitler is anti-communist so he’s just liberating them from communism. I don’t care how it ends, since none of those countries are run by saints.”

—Direct quote: Putinistas on FR, 1939

I sympathize with the Ukrainian people and are cheering for them. But even more so, I DO NOT want the old Soviet Union to be re-constituted.

I was a boy when the Soviet Union was still around, but I still remember the fear of what the Soviets were going to do next.

Does anyone think that the return of the Soviet Union will not affect the United States?? That they will peacefully co-exist with another super power. That would be very naive.

A number of good people - President Reagan and his team- went to a lot of effort, time, and money to dismantle the evil Soviet empire.

I’m not sure we would have fought WW2 in Europe, of Hitler had 6000+ nuclear weapons pointed at us.

It’s quite humorous to come onto Freerepublic and watch the Putin Puffers scream altruistically about how everything everywhere is propaganda then they go ahead and use unsubstantiated propaganda to support their conspiracy theories.

You’re right. It’s very scary huh. I’ve been typing my replies from my crawlspace under my house because my b-hole won’t quit puckering since Putin says he put his super duper state-of-the-art-not-aging nukes on high alert.

When we come to a head against China or Iran and they say they’ve put their nukes on high alert I really really hope our government capitulates to them too.

The Russians don’t belong in Ukraine. All else is distraction.

The Russian regions of the Donbas and Crimea don't want to be a part of Ukraine. They're asking for nothing more than Kosovo asked for when they didn't want to be a part of Serbia. And NATO delivered independence to non-NATO Kosovo by dropping bombs on Serbia, a nation who had never attacked a NATO country.

We established a standard that the Russians are now following.

“ it’s already too late to stop..”

Truth be told it has been for quite some time. We will all soon be feasting on a banquet of consequences. We will pay dearly for the incompetence of our leaders both in lives and treasure.

Who said I’m defending the media? I’m simply asking critical questions and observing the nonsense like:

If everything from all media outlets on any side is propaganda and lies, then why are so many Freepers basing their holier-than-thou knowledge on things they read in the media prior to the Ukraine invasion?

It seems odd that the last 22 days ALL media is suspect but before then, SOME media was alright.

All these Putin Puffers on here professing conspiracies based on other media accounts (prior to the Ukraine invasion) and everyone just goes along with it like it’s not deceptive or hypocritical.

You are correct. The Putinistas all follow the script. No one likes dead civilians, women and children but Putin Puffers keep cheering on the Russians military. How is that possible?

“then why are so many Freepers basing their holier-than-thou knowledge on things they read in the media prior to the Ukraine invasion?”

Very simple - because the media didn’t hadn’t picked a side at that point, and instead reported on the corruption and Nazism going on in Ukraine. Now we’re told that never happened.

“Agree, no value to them in targeting actual civilians.”

“You’re right.”

Thanks, and for others who aren’t sure what nukes can do, they might want to read up on yields and blast zones.

said, "some of my conservative brethren acting so irrationally they may have a point"

yes. Most are trolls some get hooked by the trolls. I hope you're not either.

Ukraine was never a sovereign country. The Ukraine literally belongs to Russia.

Well that tweet sure set me straight!

How about the video I posted in #143?

Ukrainian militia, untrained, undisciplined, probably drunk off samohon (Ukrainian moonshine) shooting an unarmed man in the back?

Don't think brand-new Kalashnikovs and itchy trigger fingers could see an unfortunate journalist meet his fate?

That this guy wsa shot by Russians never made sense from Day One. Ukrainians controlled the whole area.

“We should note too that the 3 Eastern European PM’s who visited Kiev yesterday - took a TRAIN TO KIEV.”

Targeting another country’s leadership is an act of war.

So why does the Ukraine need equipment and a no fly zone?
The bullshit is so thick in this entire ordeal.

But if you know how families in Mariupol were killed and you live in Odesa, maybe you would be less likely to resist when the Russians come knocking.

“Not if your goal is to pressure the Ukrainian government to capitulate.”

Yup. Targeting civilians to force capitulation has been a time-honored practice throughout history, and thus it is not uncommon. However, there are some folks on FR that act appalled that Russia may resort to such tactics, when its history is replete with instances of just that. So is ours (think: William Tecumseh Sherman, just to name one).
