“You are absurd. Consistently.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

MarMema,

Are you alright?

You just said that Trump’s policies noted here below are “ABSURD” !?

There is nothing “absurd” about me sending you verifiable facts about what Trump did during his 4 years as President.

Why do you say Trump’s policies are absurd? If you do, you shouldn’t be on a conservative website like FR.

When you oppose Trump’s policies as you just did, you prove to everyone here on FR that you are a far left troll - supporting the Russia-China-Iran alliance.

Don’t you feel a tiny bit of shame?

TRUMP’S anti-Russia policies from 2016 to 2020 :

Arming Ukraine: The U.S. provided lethal military aid, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, to support Ukraine in countering Russian-backed separatists.

Imposition of Sanctions: The Trump administration imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russia for actions like election interference, annexation of Crimea, and human rights abuses.

Expulsion of Russian Diplomats: In response to the Skripal poisoning in the UK, the U.S. expelled 60 Russian diplomats and closed the Russian consulate in Seattle.

Rejection of Russia’s Annexation of Crimea: Trump’s administration consistently rejected Russia’s annexation of Crimea and supported Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Support for the Three Seas Initiative: The Trump administration expressed support for the Three Seas Initiative, promoting cooperation among Central and Eastern European countries to reduce dependence on Russian energy.

Presence in the Black Sea: The U.S. increased its naval presence in the Black Sea region to support allies and counter potential Russian aggression.

Magnitsky Act Enforcement: The Trump administration continued to enforce the Magnitsky Act, imposing sanctions on Russian officials accused of human rights abuses and corruption.

Sanctions on Russian Oligarchs: The U.S. imposed sanctions on Russian oligarchs with close ties to the Kremlin.

Support for Georgia and Moldova: The Trump administration reaffirmed support for Georgia and Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

U.S. Cyber Command Actions: The U.S. Cyber Command took actions to disrupt Russian cyber operations.

Energy Diplomacy in Eastern Europe: Trump pursued energy diplomacy to promote energy diversification in Eastern Europe, reducing reliance on Russian gas.

U.S. Troop Deployment to Poland: The U.S. announced the deployment of 1,000 troops to Poland to counter Russian aggression.

Opposition to Russia’s Syria Policy: The U.S. opposed Russia’s military intervention in Syria and supported the opposition to President Bashar al-Assad.

Russian Private Military Companies Sanctions: The U.S. imposed sanctions on Russian private military companies, including Wagner Group.

Support for Belarusian Democracy: The Trump administration supported pro-democracy efforts in Belarus following disputed elections and protests.

Sanctions on Russian Banks: The U.S. imposed sanctions on Russian banks, including Sberbank and VTB Bank, for their roles in supporting Russian actions.

Export Controls on Technology: The U.S. tightened export controls on certain technology items to prevent their use in Russia’s military and intelligence activities.

Increased Military Aid to Eastern European Allies: The U.S. increased military aid and training to Eastern European countries, enhancing their defense capabilities.

Opposition to Russia’s Annexation of South Ossetia: The Trump administration opposed Russia’s recognition of South Ossetia’s independence from Georgia.

Support for Montenegro’s NATO Membership: The Trump administration supported Montenegro’s accession to NATO, despite Russian opposition.

Criticism of Russia’s Nuclear Weapons Development: Trump criticized Russia’s development of new nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

Support for Ukraine’s Reforms: The U.S. supported Ukraine’s reform efforts and anti-corruption measures.

Expanding the Black Sea Maritime Security Initiative: The U.S. expanded the initiative to enhance security cooperation among Black Sea countries.

Opposition to Russia’s Actions in Venezuela: The U.S. opposed Russia’s support for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during the political crisis.

YOU are the commie-spam guy here, period. We know who you are.

When you say that Trump’s anti-Russia policies I sent you earlier is a “globalist agenda”, you should be ashamed. Deeply ashamed.

You and your Globo-Russia-China-Iran friends should not be on an American conservative website.

You have decided to defy Trump’s Russia policies. It’s your mistake.

Perhaps, though it exhibits willful troll/disruptor behaviors. Only a tiny number of FR posters support involving us in foreign conflicts/civil wars, especially the Russia-Ukraine situation. The few posters who aren’t obvious trolls have also tended to abandon support over time as this continues to drag out. They’ve recognized this is a mass-money laundering scheme to globalist criminal oligarchs (with Plugs the Pedo and fam getting kickbacks).

These trolls, I suspect, also have multiple accounts. They use the same debunked arguments, personal attacks, spamming, links to leftist websites to support their globalist agenda, and so on. This particular troll tries to falsely link President Trump to supporting his globalist agenda. President Trump has been clear as a bell that he does not support our involvement or sending billions to criminals overseas.

Debunked arguments?

Like Ukraine is a Nazi state?

Personal attacks?

How many hundreds and thousands of times have you people called people who support Ukraine some variety of homosexual?

Links to Leftist websites? How many Russians and leftists have you guys linked to? Scott Ritter is a convicted pedophile who is "touring" Russia to promote a book. Apparently if you support Ukraine you are supporting "globalhomo" because Zelenskyy was a comedian who did a skit once that had him playing the piano with his member. Should I call you "globalpedo" because of that? Would that be fair game?

I have never seen a group of people who lack this amount of self-awareness. Do me a favor and see the kind of posts that would get you banned in the mid 2000's from here. Leftist hate for America has nothing on the Russophiles. You would have been banned from here if you said the kind of stuff you say about your own country nowadays. The only reason you aren't is that it is fashionable to hate America when Russia is involved because "MAGA".

In this case, unless Nuland shows up with very significantly bigger fistfuls of money than the Russians, I doubt she’ll have any effect.

“Appearing” doesn’t make one a “player”.

"Debunked arguments?"

Debunked.

"Like Ukraine is a Nazi state?"

That's not debunked. You got your military that is quite apparently neo-Nazi. An "unpleasant" fact to some folks here.

"Personal attacks?"

Yup. Nothing but personal attacks from the trolls.

"How many hundreds and thousands of times have you people called people who support Ukraine some variety of homosexual?"

You're supporting a corrupt and evil state whose main goal and leader at present is normalizing Sodomy and the globalist degenerate agenda. Nevermind it's already the worst state in Europe for child sex trafficking, which the oligarchs that run it the Pedo-in-Cheat in DC is sending billions to. Another fact you trolls ignore.

"Links to Leftist websites?"

Nothing but, since it's the globalist leftists that support interfering in this civil war. The lead trolls here spam FR with nothing but leftist links on a daily basis. This kind of crap would've earned mass-ZOT's in the past if someone were coming on here to cheerlead for Demonrat candidates, yet this garbage is continuously spammed.

"How many Russians and leftists have you guys linked to?"

Linking to Russian websites is bad, but linking to leftist globalist websites is good ? I've linked to no leftist websites, that's your trolls doing that.

"Scott Ritter is a convicted pedophile who is "touring" Russia to promote a book."

I don't need Scott Ritter to support my position that we should stay out of this civil war. The fact that a convicted pedophile has more sense than a lot of elected "leaders" on this issue is quite disturbing.

"Apparently if you support Ukraine you are supporting "globalhomo" because Zelenskyy was a comedian who did a skit once that had him playing the piano with his member."

That he did that at all makes him a degenerate exhibitionist. And he has already demonstrated he wants to fully normalize Sodomy and child sex trafficking by his actions.

"Should I call you "globalpedo" because of that? Would that be fair game?"

Since when has applying logic and reason been your side's credo ? All you do is make up insults and falsely echo (as above) correct pronouncements about the wrongness of what you support. It's your side supporting the most corrupt and evil state in Europe, its degenerate dictator (who refuses to face the electorate) and the oligarch globalists who profit from off these billions being sent to support their child sex trafficking state.

"I have never seen a group of people who lack this amount of self-awareness."

Remarkable in that this is absolutely 100% applicable to you and yours. You keep breaking the cognitive dissonance meter.

"Do me a favor and see the kind of posts that would get you banned in the mid 2000's from here."

Again, you're the side supporting the leftist globalist Soros agenda. That that filth is allowed to remain on FR is why so many good posters have decided to go elsewhere.

"Leftist hate for America has nothing on the Russophiles."

America, sadly, has become the #1 exporter of the globalist degenerate homosexualist-tranny agenda. Holding it like a gun to everyone else's heads internationally. See Niger. Russia is standing like a rock against this degeneracy, along with brave African states and a few others. Used to be America wasn't the bad guys. But you guys have no problem with this whatsoever.

"You would have been banned from here if you said the kind of stuff you say about your own country nowadays."

It's called the truth, Hoss. Take a look at what is illegally occupying the White House and almost all other facets of our government and institutions. A cancerous globalist degenerate evil is fully in control, which comes straight from Satan himself. Pretending that isn't true is merely just lying to others and to yourself.

" The only reason you aren't is that it is fashionable to hate America when Russia is involved because "MAGA"."

I don't hate America. I hate what the corrupt and evil degenerates in BOTH parties have done to this country, especially over the past 3 decades. Apparently this is a fact oblivious to you and yours. But, hey, keep pushing this current distraction in Europe that could trigger WW3. The globalists are counting on you !

You are insane. A state headed by a Jew who is a Nazi? See an exorcist and get whatever spawn of hell is inside you, out. You are beyond anything but divine help. I hope all of FR sees this and finally comes to its senses and realizes that this site is infested with Russian operatives and sick, sick psychopaths.

"You are insane."

Despite this being an obvious falsehood, this is clearly a personal attack. You can't win an argument ever, as I debunked your entire previous post, so you fall back to personal attacks. This isn't a globalist Soros-supporting website, yet you side with the leftist ideology and defend a warmongering pervert and sicko exhibitionist who serves as a puppet for these same globalist oligarchs that want their child sex-trafficking state preserved under their control. I suggest, sir or madam, that you turn to God for help, because you're absolutely lying to yourself about what's going on here. Have a nice day.

So, how many Ukrainians are "warmongering pervert"s, "sicko exhibitionist"s and "globalist oligarchs"? Of the over 100,000 plus who have been killed, how many of those fit in those categories?

Do you really imagine seeing Jesus on judgement day, and telling him that you should get into heaven because you cheered on the death of men, women, and children to stick it to "globalhomo"? Or that those 100,000+ were neo-Nazis?

You have created such a boogeyman in your mind that you see actual deaths as equivalent to some weird obsession you have with gays under your bed.

You want to equate actual evils to things you have puffed up in your head. The scary thing is, is that I have little doubt that if Russia attacked the US, you would take the Russians side if they came up with some BS about saving you from homosexuals, or protecting Trump, or one other of your bugaboos. You have been manipulated so easily and so completely that I am actually beginning to think that having leftists in charge is the lesser of two evils.

You might not believe this, but I was actually sympathetic to Russia right up until the beginning of the invasion. I was told by the pro-Russia contingent that Russia wouldn't invade and I believed them. I liked Russia's seemingly pro-Christian and pro-Western civilization stance.

When they invaded, all the current Russia defenders, who accused the Biden administration of lying, suddenly went from assuring us that Russia would never invade, to trying to justify it.

I might be a fool, but I am not a shill for evil. I am not going to pretend that evil is okay to save my self image. Perversion is bad, but murder is worse. I won't sell my soul to Putin so I don't have to admit to a mistake. I will not sell out my civilization for some brownie points with a bunch of people who think being a good person is being a machoman who kills and blusters to burnish his own ego and feel like a big man. I am a conservative because of principles, not just to be on a sports team and excuse the evils of my own side so that I can feel like a winner.
