Belarus (with Kremlin support) have been using migrants to destabilize European politics at least since last year.

Yet people like you say millions of people flooding into the EU from the middle east isn't a problem.

as usual with you, you go completely overboard. 90%+ of conservatives dont support russia, they just dont support ukraine and think this is a european problem.
and nobody is goign to make that a wedge issue. its a loser for teh GOP to do that, only a retard would think that(fits your profile)

It's easy to jump to the conclusion that it's kneejerk anti-Bidenism and it's partly that, but Putin fanboyism goes back considerably before the last election. A non-trivial number of Americans find authoritarianism appealing. Russia identified and cultivated that streak.

It's definitely a problem! It's an intentional problem caused by Russia and has been via Syria, Belarus (who has been flying foreign nationals in specifically to release over the Polish border) and now with Ukraine, though thankfully the net migration flow is back into Ukraine at this point.

Pretty sure that’s why Poland acted fast to build their own border wall, but they actually mean it and will enforce.

Fair enough. I think it will be used as a wedge issue, but perhaps it will turn out to not be. I certainly don't have a crystal ball. I was following up on the prior comment that the economic stress of the war will be used to punish incumbents in coming elections. I think that there will be even more than that based upon the chatter that is already happening. Please don't be offended as that wasn't my intent.

Yeah the EU migrant flood is because Russia was in Syria

So now you're all about borders?
It's hilarious to watch you people waffle back and forth over whether or not a country deserves to have borders or not
There's literally no current problem on Earth that you won't blame on the Russians. Of course, you still believe whole heartedly that Trump was/is a Russian spy, so your opinions aren't worth much.

Russia propped up the Assad regime which would've fallen without it. And there are plenty of problems that the Russians aren't responsible for. Ok, maybe not plenty, but some at least.

The report of Snake island being struck appear to be false. Instead, it appears that a second drilling platform was hit. One of the platforms is on fire and shows up on the NASA Fire map (FIRMS) the red dot in the middle of the sea. From the map you can see that the platform is much closer to Ukraine and Snake Island than the occupied Crimea.

Yeah, but let's just completely ignore the NATO/US/EU involvement that not only kicked the entire thing off but exacerbated it at every turn, including funding the "moderate rebels" that turned out to be ISIS.
You're a giant pair of fricking clown shoes, dude.

This is a Russia thread, baw. Post some pro-Putin hot takes or be gone.

Russia and its apologists in the west and on this board will whine about escalation, but Russia has been waging economic warfare on Ukraine from the beginning. And in point of fact this is Ukrainian territory in the first place.

Pretty weak inference.
Do you have a link to this weekend long thread? Searching for Putin in subject or “ruler of America” in subject and post doesn’t bring up anything obvious, but subject is probably different.
Closest I could find on quick look was a negative Biden thread where sta4ever 1st brings up them probably wanting Putin doesn’t even remotely have this “ruler of America” view or even pro Putin. Responses to this thread involving Putin started by posters trying to push hate of Biden as equating to loving Putin and Russia are much more about Biden and also trolling those 2 like “I would prefer Satan himself over what we have now.” Or “ Hell, we know for a fact you believed putin was the president from 2016 to 2020”.

Just going to leave this here with no comment: Prepare to fight and beat Russia in a Third World War, Britain's top general warns: New UK Army commander tells troops to brace for European land war in tub-thumping message as tyrant Putin menaces ex-Soviet states
None of that is particularly surprising or unusual rhetoric from a senior officer. "Prepare to fight and beat X" is used 1,000,000 times every single day across the military. I would hope the British military is training to annihilate the Russian military; that's kind of the whole point.

I wonder how many times in this thread you have showed up to white knight for the politard board.
Are you worried or something that some of you may get mis-labeled? LOL
