I just can’t figure out why so many freepers are pro Russian. They have spread their tyranny and communism throughout the world for over 100 years. Ukraine might not be perfect but they are victims of Russian imperialism

Russia is no longer communist. Actually they seem more socially conservative than the Democratic Party in the USA.

I agree neither is perfect but I think both sides have valid points. Russia doesn’t want NATO expansion to the point it almost surrounds them (at least their most important region) and Ukraine has a right to defend their border, unlike the US apparently.

Now we can argue a lot of details like was the 2014 coup that put Zelensky in power staged by western deep state under Obama? or is Putin using NATO expansion as a frivolous excuse so he can conqueror the world?

Which is why I’m neutral but honestly as I’ve watched Biden and Hunter revelations on how they made money in Ukraine—traded favors as a VP etc I’m less critical of Russia than I would have been.

Because as Americans we have no respect for or bond with Ukrainian nazis or the occupation junta government in DC.

That’s why.

Actually, it was 70 years. And they stopped being even remotely communist over 30 years ago. BTW... communism was born in Germany and the UK, with some France mixed in. Germany exported it to Russia in WWI to take the Czar out of the war.

Try to keep up.
