You are 100% correct. There is a divide here on the FR that can never be bridged. They may not be in the majority around here, but they are definitely a significant minority. I have permanently lost respect for them (the Putin defenders) and view them with the same contempt as I do for any BLM or Antifa member. The images that came out yesterday rivaled any atrocity committed by ISIS yet there are those that refuse not only to condemn it but in offen cases deny that it actually happened.
There is a special place somewhere for these people.
Yesterday they were saying the SU-34 that crashed was (variously) fake, from an air show, propaganda, etc.
I know SU-34s very well, know their limits, know where the fuel is, have flow 27s and 30s, and am a aeronautical engineer. Shooting down Russian hardware has pretty much been my job for ~30 years.
It was amazing the crap they were saying in service of Putin.
The Ukrainian military has multiple neo-Nazi groups, not just the Azvo Battalion, they’re just the most well-known.
Some of us remember that we have just entered Year 3 of “15 days to flatten the curve,” and have completely lost faith in every government and corporate institution that became churches for the Branch Covidian movement without any hesitation.
Anyone on FR who instinctively reacts to “images” presented by TV and internet media is a gullible fool who wasn’t very bright to begin with.
