It's a question based on a completely false premise ...

Nobody gives a shite about Putin. It is about not being a dumbass and realizing that frickING UKRAINE has been in our national conversation for the last 6 frickING years. Ask yourself what that might be.

Imagine being so dumb you think conservatives support putin.

Stop listening to MSNBC.

Hating the American grift has nothing to do with Putin

I really don’t understand the far right’s obsession with putin. So I’m genuinely curious. I can’t really get to the core of it through other social media outlets. Can anyone explain?
He's not my favorite guy, but he's one of the better leaders of a country, strictly by comparison. He understands that being "tolerant" is not always a good thing. He's strong, which is at least respected among conservatives, even if there are different goals (you can respect Nick Saban even if you are a Tiger and don't like him). 0bama, by contrast, was the little 5' 2" shitboy talking about your mama with an entourage of 6' 5" 340-lb hulks protecting him.

Besides, it's not the "far right". It's the Right, formerly known as the center in America. If you think we are far right, then you probably think JFK was a Nazi.

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


I don’t love Putin just like I don’t love paying for and supporting a stupid fricking war that we shouldn’t be involved in. Funny to watch progressives turn into war hawks this go round.

In my case you're mistaking indifference to Ukraine as support for Putin. I honestly don't give a rip about either one

The OP says nothing about the war in Ukraine.

The Trumpists and far Right have been singing hosannas to Putin for 4-5 years, because he is everything they they love. A Jew-hating, gay-bashing extreme nationalist, for example.

He really isn't. He's a master kleptocrat. The entire state apparatus revolves around him, and the downsides of that are plainly obvious. Thank God that how power works in America is through institutions rather than indivudal people.

Did we really just "lose" them? Seems like just a check in the anti-American gameplan timeline.

As to the OP...funny how it thinks we will fall for it's "curiosity" when it disappears right after dropping the thread. Just another vile democrat leftie that cares more about another countries border than ours.

I couldn't care less about supporting Putin in this war. Now his anti-gay mafia agenda will earn him a high-fives from me.

If I asked you to name a better one, you'd discard 3-4 before naming 1 you think would pass. I didn't say he was good, I said that most are worse.

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.

That's all rich coming from a coward that disappears after dropping such a turd of an opinion...kinda like the OP...interesting...

conservatives dont support Putin. You just believe that because the left has decided he is the scapegoat for everything they've fricked up, and have effectively polarized the nation into believing if lefties hate something, righties must love it.

cant we just not want another multi-billion dollar proxy war with a nation that doesnt pose a real threat to us? They cant whip the goddamn Ukraine. why are we so scared of this dude? Leave him tf alone and let Europe deal with him. Imagine what that 70B in aid could have achieved if spent domestically or returned to the people as a tax cut.
