I believe Putin and the Russian leadership give snakepits a bad name.
I believe Ukraine is a sovereign nation was invaded wrongly, and that Russia is the Bad Guy.
Aside from the immorality of the invasion, I don’t have a horse in this race, and don’t want one dime going to any foreign nation.
Perhaps 20-30 years ago, most conservatives would see the R-UK war, yawn and go back to work. To wit: nobody got worked up over the Soviet-Afghanistan war. Even during the annexation of the Crimea, people were relatively chill.
But Manischewitz, it boggles the mind to see the quantum of bandwidth wasted on the back and forth between “Zeepers” and “Putinistas.” I mean, I get calling out the hypocrisy of Putin et al and his faux morality. That sombich has the Cross in his hand and the devil in his heart. But for a conflict and a people thousands of miles away, you’d think the R-UK war is right down the street from the posters.
I think between the pandemic, the 2020 riots and election and OSHA mandate, a lot of people just lost their touch with reality. I also believe they “gave up” on America and have fallen for the Prince of Lies and now hoist Putin or Zelinsky on their shoulders.
This story is a good case in point. It’s like the trashy stories in Gayeway Pundit or Slay News with no facts and 100% sensation….and people just lap it up. And if you do any fact-checking, you’re called a deep stater by some low-information troll.

My thoughts exactly.
Good rant.
Remember, when Trump was President, oil was cheap. Russia and Iran were relative!y tame. Wars are expensive.
