He isn't part of the New World Order, isn't getting 100 + billions of tax payers dollars, and isn't letting the Democratic party use his country as their money laundering honey pot.

What part are you struggling to comprehend?

It's an enemy of my enemy thing. Also, he's standing up to all the people calling us terrorists and white supremacists because we refuse to bow to the commie left and their tranny brigades.

Why do you think conservatives "staunchly support" Putin?

Why did you use conservatives and far-right interchangeably?

Why are you so shitty at faking honest curiosity?

We aren't you moron. Just want to take care of our own in the USA first. There are homeless veterans. Why do you hate them?

I guess that some small minded fools support him but most of us just consider him another tyrant, however, the tyrants over our own country are far more of a clear and present danger to our daily lives than Putin or any other a-hole leader. Just because people don't agree with spending our disaster of an economy into oblivion, doesn't equate to support of another tyrant.

Being anti Ukraine doesn’t make one pro Putin

Why are ppl such suckers for Ukraine?

You realize your money becomes more worthless with this war, right? You realize this is a 30 year old country that has issues, right? You realize a president was impeached over giving Ukraine weapons, right? You realize the guy before Zelensky took our money and ran away, right? You realize our politicians are the reason for chaos in the area, right?

Nonsense. We've always been at war with Eurasia.

So it's the people that don't want to get involved in a contrived war because we don't see it serving our best interests that are obsessed with Putin, and the people that are willing to sell themselves and their country out to fight the a-hole - those aren't the people obsessed with him?

exactly the OP could give two shits about any real answers.calling those that are not for money laundering in Ukraine, while America and the working class suffer 'far right' Putin lovers says it all.

there is way too much to explain to someone that is not a political junkie that believes what CNN says. or is trolling like Oweo to shite stir-because this is a hot subject.

i am not biting the shiny bait. ya'll have fun with this one.

trump loves Putin. So his cultists follow him with lemming like devotion. Real conservatives recognize Putin for the thug he is.

I don’t support either, but I also realize what this “war” is about and why the U.S. is involved. We don’t give a damn about the Ukrainian people.

We lost our lithium mines in Afghanistan and Eastern Ukraine has 3rd largest lithium deposits.

So we are funding their war as a proxy and in return get access to lithium.

It’s Bs

People on this board are your typical conspiracy theory nut jobs. They are easily manipulated (I mean...these idiots still donate to Donald Trump and many other known grifters). The latest theory these idiots are hanging on to is all the money being funneled through Ukraine for some diabolical purposes. They are so far in this rabbit hole that they see Putin & Russia government as a friend.
