This.

I keep telling myself, though, they used to like Bush and Cheney too. That didn't last, this won't either. All they need is a Republican in the White House to tell them Putin's bad, and they' fall in line. Just like always.

No they don't. The MAGA folk seem to love Putin. The limited government types on the right want noting to do with him.



This. And important distinction too.

It is. Putin would stab you, lethally twist the knife as he looked you in the eye, then drop you quivering on the pavement without batting an eye.

My own government will kill me beofre putin.

Doesnt mean hes not a bad guy, just means hes not my enemy.

Joe Biden is.

"Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal," he said. "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic."



quote:

"For God's sake, whose side are you on? Whose side are you on?" a fired-up Biden asked.


Im not on the side of war profiteering, or russia, or ukraine. Im on the side of the taxpayer.

Putin is bad in many ways. But that doesn't make what he says always wrong. Putin lover? I'll pass. But the f@cker is right over our meddling in Ukraine.

There's the difference. Putin only cares about himself and his wealth/prestige/power, just like Trump. America should care about democracy and help those seeking it, which leads to serving our best interest in the long run. If you don't think that if Putin took control of Ukraine that the Baltics and Poland would be next, you're nuts. Then watch and see where the US would be with fighting a cold war against both Russia and China. Chess, not checkers!

Putin is bad
Probably. It isn't helpful to look at it in those terms though. Understanding of the guy's rationale, comprehension, tendency, and capacity is far more important than assessments of good, bad, mean, etc.

Had we done that responsibly with Yeltsin, Putin may never have happened.

Correct. And geopolitics is a zero sum game. People here don’t seem to understand that Russia will never be our friend, our loss is their gain.

Zelensky nut gobblers are the issue. Because they've been deep throating zelensky for so long, it has become normal for them. So they believe anyone who isn't deep throating zelensky is a Putin lover. They can't fathom that most of us don't give a frick about Zelensky or Putin. We just view it as a foreign conflict happening an ocean away from us.
