I like Putin.
I think he is a decent guy and he is certainly Smarter and more truthful than leadership over here.
Fact is. Putin is all class compared to the garage that runs this country.
heres trump

There are people on this site praising Putin all the time. "He's a leader who only cares about Russia and the Russian people" and similar nonsense.
It’s all in your head
Being indifferent to his actions because the Europeans don’t seem to care either is not praise

Ok if Putin is such a bad guy and literally hitler invading other countries why are we continuing to buy oil from him when just a few years ago we proved we could be energy independent?
Why did Germany agree to buy almost all of the energy supplies from Putin when we all know their entire economy is based on oil and gas?
What’s worse, praising someone or empowering them by making them rich?

Exactly.
When I point out how much more competent Putin is than Biden its not meant to praise Putin, it's meant to show how much I loathe Biden.
Besides, a fricking turnip is more competent than Biden so saying Putin is more so isn't exactly praiseworthy

This is what they don’t understand.
Any positive statements about Putin are more of an indictment on the state of our country, and a way to put our fall from grace in perspective.

You can find support for any position on almost any internet board. This isn’t news. And it’s not a signal of some sort of monolithic (or even a plurality) support for Putin.

The larger point is still true. There’s no groundswell of support for Putin among Trump supporters.

That’s not a moral argument. It’s an argument about last resorts. If there were some other way of buying and transporting natural gas that were cheaper than pipelines, then Europeans would buy that. There are several gas projects underway in the Eastern Med with some issues arising between Turkey, Greece, Israel, and Egypt about who gets access. There is gas infrastructure already in Turkey to transport gas from the ME, but that situation won’t be resolved because of sanctions on Iran.
We could use this opportunity to try to break the Iran-Russia axis by decreasing sanctions on Iran so they could fill their gas capacity, but our FP apparatus won’t do that.

There may be a few that "praise" him depending on your definition of it but it is not nearly as widespread as liberals are screaming it is. It's probably a small group of people.
Ironically, the socialist movement in America is found largely amongst far-left liberals and Putin is the very definition of how all dictatorships and socialism wind up now they are against it.

I didn’t concede the point. I asked which is worse.
Because you seem to be all hot and bothered by random message board comments about Putin rather than your president and Europe making us dependent on Russian energy which is literally bankrolling their entire operation to re establish the USSR.
The house is on fire and you are complaining about a toilet leak

Putin is a murderer. That is a fact. But let's be honest here. The Russian aggression in the Ukraine is directly tied to Putin's fear that Ukraine would be sucked into NATO. And Putin will NOT risk that.....a NATO country on Russia's western border.
Having said that, the images coming out of the Ukraine are gutwrenching.
Pray for the Ukranian People. Pray for the dead, dying, and terrified children of the Ukraine.
I would have no problem welcoming Ukranian refugees here in America. If it comes to that.

Thanks for clearing that up. It was not clear whether Putin’s war on Ukraine was being supported, especially with all the Putin praise on this board.

OP is objectively false
The reality is that a lot of Trump supporters cannot bring themselves to view an enemy of this administration as also bad. They lack the ability to bring nuance to that position. They lack the ability to discern that an authoritarian and all around bad guy who happens to play to their sensibilities is actually manipulating the shite out of them. I genuinely think we have posters who feel Putin would like them because they too dislike the trans nonsense and are ardent nationalists.

Americans who praise Putin will be sent to the gulag. It is a dog whistle for white supremacy. And do you know who likes dogs? That's right, Donald Trump.

Right, so they care about Ukraine up until the point it effects their pocketbooks. That’s my point. That’s why I don’t want to hear about how Putin is literally hitler.
How did Germany survive before pipelines? They, like us, are fully woke on climate change and this is their own decision to become dependent on Russian natural gas.

This is what gaslighting is, right here.
There has been so much praise of Putin in posts and comments on this board, even right wing posters are calling it out.

That's part of it. They also know that Trump trusts Putin and Trump favors a lot of Putin's interests (weakening NATO). They like that Putin tried to get Trump elected and will again.
