Your flippant response to my posting about the tremendous humanitarian tragedy caused by the Russian invasion leads me to believe that you are unmoved by the rocket-bombing of civilian populations (to say nothing of the "smaller-scale" war atrocities committed by individual Russian soldiers).
It saddens me that so many putative conservatives here at Free Republic are so apathetic when it comes to authoritarian regimes invading European countries and annexing territory.
Regards,
They are not conservatives. They are anti Western Civilization leftists.
It’s not flippant at all. It’s reality. What are you personally willing to sacrifice to force Putin to do what you suggested? Oh Nothing.? Stfu you leftist virtue signaler
My response was not flippant, it was sarcastic. You virtue-signal like a Karen.
The Ukrainians got themselves into this mess with the help of the globalists and they can fight their way out of ot on their own as far as most Americans are concerned.
You do have trouble recognizing authoritarian regimes, don’t you? You left out the Zelensky regime, virtually every EU government, Canada, and, of course, the Biden government. Then there are all the 3rd world and “emerging” kleptocratic autocracies. Do you have a well sourced spread sheet demonstrating that the RF is less free than some or all of Zelensky’s Ukraine? Biden’s US? Trudeau’s Canada? EU? Somehow I think you don’t. Don’t try to palm off someone else’s list. For example, Freedom House is in the tank for the left and is horrified by January 6. No, provide your own list of criteria, weightings, and the evidence behind them.
“It saddens me” we have so many trolls here.
ME, TOO! I'm saddened by the fools who believe that we (US) did not goad Russia into this special military operation as a way to start a proxy with the Ruskies.
Like all the other attempted regime changes in the past (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan), this one is not working so well either. Is it?
This was eloquently explained by E. Pluribus Unum in post 3 above, as noted here.......
