Ukraine ping

Jane Long: [Oooh....the Zeepers will melt, over this.]


Not really. Some of the Turning Point people are neo-Russians. The old Russians supported the Russian empire while it flew a red flag. The neo-Russians support this empire now that it flies a tricolor. It’s free country. They can support whomever they like. However, just as Free Republic did not represent a majority of voters when a majority of Freepers opposed Romney for the nomination, a majority of Turning Point members don’t represent the GOP.

A clear majority of Freepers supports Russia in this conflict. Whereas a similarly clear majority of people identified as Republicans supports Ukraine. And, more important, an even bigger majority of independents, who will decide the election, supports Ukraine. This means that if Trump wins the nomination and continues to support Russia, at least rhetorically, he will lose the election, and perhaps bring the House down with him.

How about those of us that want each to pull back to their original boundaries and knock it off? Toddler management…Trump knows how to do this.

BINGO.

Free Republic is ENTIRELY unrepresentative of the whole of America, (once you venture out of the hermetically sealed silo here and actually talk to people and run the numbers as you have) or even average America, at least on this issue.

I don't support Russia. Neither do I support Ukraine. Like Trump, I just want the dying to stop, and I want the US to stop bleeding money and supplies into that quagmire.

Ukraine is not a vital US interest. Being able to stop China is.

I support the US. And I would make the point that those who want the Ukraine conflict to drag on, are really working against US interests and for China.

People need to understand that not supporting the regime in Ukraine is NOT necessarily equivalent to supporting the regime in Russia. Both are filthy with corruption, as is the incompetent Biden regime. Supporting the people of either country is not the same as supporting their respective regimes or leaders.

Pointing out Zelenskyy’s faults and missteps does not automatically make one a Putin supporter and the reverse is also true.

Many FReepers don’t support either side in this conflict, and don’t support our involvement in it as a matter of governmental policy.

Spot on. Complete common sense post.

I guess some people just love losing incessantly in the general and special elections since 2018 and want more of it for 2024. Sad.
