American Politics

[DramaFree11]

Yes there is a small minority of Republicans that side with Russia over the Ukraine, and the leaders are a literal whos whos of sleazy citizens who are a scourge on American life and principles. It includes Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, Madison Cawthorn, Matt Gaetz, of course the Orange one, and even the self proclaimed "asexual incel" Nick Fuentes who wishes Putin was president of the US. LOL Let's see that these characters are put on the back burner of American political life, where they actually are on Ukraine policy. Some like Taylor Greene and Nick Fuentes are about surely too stupid to know better. Others do but are professional con men. That includes Carlson, Bannon, and Stone.

And we can put to bed their lies about Ukraine who has a relatively high freedom score compared to other nations in the region, where democracy is relatively new, and a drastically higher score than Russia. They are on the right track, and their willingness to fight for freedom likely surpasses the US.

Nobody wants Russia to win. We want the war to end. The issue is not the Russia people, it is a few in government. If this escalates or drags on instead of looking at a long recessions, things will get much worse and many will never recover financially.

Sometimes in life you have to lose to win. Ukraine has already won, but if this drags on it is really bad for everyone. They need to find a solution, both parties need to compromise. In life you do not always get what you want and sometimes you have to deal with bad people.

How can you use Spanish descendency to make an anti-white claim? Don't you know that many Hispanics are as white as other "white" groups?

The Fuhrer was also Jewish.

Really? Just more anti white racist drivel coming from the left, let me guess? You're from CCPland?

More white women voted for Trump than Hillary LOL.

If I remember correctly 2 out of 3 gay white men voted for Trump over Jackoff Joe.

You hate everyone white Jewish or Hispanic.

Nice coalition you have going LOL.

Just because the Mango Mussolini claimed something doesn't make it true. In fact, when Cheeto Tweeto claims something, the truth is almost guaranteed to be the opposite. If you had a brain, you'd know that. Of course, if you had a brain, you'd be a Democrat.

More women voted for HRC than voted for the Orange Buffoon in 2016 (54% to 41%.

More LGBTQ folks voted for Biden (81%) than the Orange Fruitcake (14%.

Who cares about specially selected subsets? I guarantee that more idiots voted for Captain Bonespurs than voted for Biden. Including you.

Delusional, providing weapons and money is an act of war, you can call it what you want.

Poor morale, officers refusing to obey orders, resupply issues, death trap "jack in the box" tanks against sophisticated modern weaponry, muddy spring weather. It just isn't going so well for our ISG Russo sympathizers whose gloating early on has turned to pleas for a ceasefire, or to toss Vlad the a few crumbs of appeasement which he'd reject, or take but soon get back to what he was doing. The Ukrainians know the Russians far better than any autocrat loving hacks in a hooker forum. They know they are fighting for their very existence as a country and a people.

I know you weren't being serious. The MAGA crowd is bombarded nightly with idiotic lies and propaganda from FUX "NewZ". These lies are just as bad as those coming from Putin and the Russian government.

They crave authoritarianism because they are morons. They love authoritarian figures like the Orange Buffoon, Putin, Kim Il Suck, Bolsonaro and the other doofuses who are masquerading as leaders. Republicans are simply too stupid to think for themselves, that's why they need authoritarian leaders because they'll tell them what to think.

In truth, Republicans are white men who are scared that the world is evolving before their eyes. And, since they are idiots, they can't change with the times. That's why they want to go back to the 50's. But not the 1950's, the 1850's. Back to when it was legal to own slaves, when women couldn't vote and all the rest.

Republicans are white men.

I got around to reading this whole rant and it needed a bit more attention.

Exactly. If you look at the economics, it benefits everyone to have this be a cease fire.

It isn't an issue of current economic practicalities but over Putin's desire to absorb the Ukraine. Ultimately rebuilding a Soviet era empire is the aim which would involve economic gains. Vlad hasn't felt enough pain yet to back off of these ambitions that have long been entertained.

Well, it benefits all parties except the Democrats that think this war is going to benefit them at the polls in November, and that is why it is continuing. The Democrats are willing to fight the Russians to the last dead Ukrainian.

Oh please what a load of tripe and hyperbole. As noted the vast majority of Republicans support arming a Ukraine that is willing to fight against genocide and for the existence of their country, which is precisely what is at stake.

That the Democrats want to see Putin gone and imagine that a Jesus type is going to emerge as leader and Democracy is going to fall down in Russia is pie in the sky thinking.

By the same token it's far from a guarantee that regime change would involve a replacement as sinister as Putin. In fact there have been a number of Russian leaders, pre and post Soviet era that we could negotiate with and didn't engage in nuclear blackmail. Any regime change though as a matter of course is up to the Russians, which Biden and everyone knows. It would be too difficult to get on the inside.

Biden came out and said that Putin cannot stay in power and now we have the dumb Dems agreeing with it. The Russian people were serfs, respect a strong leader, and it is zero surprise to me that the most recent Democratic initiate begun in Russia 20 something years ago has resulted in Russia having a dictator. That is what the people there want believe it or not.

Your historical analysis is simplistic and follows with a non-sequitur. Just because Russian lacks a history of democracy doesn't mean they are incapable. Democratic movements exist there, and no one knows the extent of those in favor as polls are unreliable due to intimidation. There are also a number of countries in that region that also had little to no such history but are now standing democracies. Take a look at Ukraine and there are several others. Putin also isn't a strong leader but a twit. Bullies always are flustered once they are punched in the mouth.

Instead of dealing with the reality of saving the world economy and as many lives of Russians and Ukrainians as possible, we see the dumb Dems in a contest of who can hate Putin the most. That does no good and is even harmful, but it is virtue signaling at its finest. And it makes me wonder why. Is this really about the invasion and the tragedy of all those who died or is it irrational payback for the dumb Dems who still blame Putin for Trump winning in 2016?

Yes, standing up to genocidal acts and nuclear blackmail ultimately saves lives as it's sets the correct precedents on the world stage. And of course you couldn't care less about Ukrainian lives. A review of your post history shows you've been siding with and rooting for Putin all along. The war isn't going your way so you use it as an anvil to bash "Democrats" even those the vast majority of Republicans and Americans generally favor our support for Ukraine. So you are all over the place, false and inadequate information leading to false conclusions, all of course aimed at your pet targets. Yawns, and this while acting sanctimonious pretending to care about lives after sucking up to Vlad, after claiming that Jan 6th should have been worse, and pitching all varieties of pandemic and stolen election lies and conspiracy theories.

And BTW, most of the claims from you above have already been raised and refuted in the past. But such is the nature of you and your handful of pals that hang out on this thread, ignore all rebuttals and keep repeating the same misinformation over and over.

[PVMonger]

It's a proxy war, like we were involved with against the USSR routinely. It's our obligation as leaders of the free world. Appeasing cowards can cut on the cap key here and bring on the exclamation marks, but this doesn't absolve such responsibility. I still think I have the right idea with the wooden shipping crates, holes punched in the top, jugs of water, some junk food and cheap whiskey for mercy, delivery by the long route to Moscow. Why suck of from afar? Let them do it in person. Yo.

And remember that the typical MAGA poo-pooh's "obligation" in general. They consider themselves "pro-life" but in reality they are just "pro-birth". If they were really "pro-life", they'd see an "obligation" to provide services to the child they wanted to see born. But no. In MAGA eyes, once you're born you're fucked.

The MAGA "obligation" to anybody LGBTQ? Change your sexual orientation! The MAGA "obligation" to people of color? Change your skin color! The MAGA "obligation" to voting rights? Do it our way! The MAGA "obligation" to the climate? It is just weather so we'll keep drilling in the meantime. The MAGA "obligation" to everything? You change because we don't have any obligations at all.

We have drama for free 11 here calling for a "marginal" win for his boy Vlad in order to end the war, which is of the silliest of pipe dreams. It's an all or nothing game, that foreign policy specialists above the wingnut blog simpleton's loop know full well. The Ukrainian soldiers also rightly expect torture or death with surrender, and many civilians funneled to concentration "re-education" style camps. It also likely will spread beyond Ukraine if not deterred. Anyway here's a great article from about a month ago as to what's at stake, and why arming willing fighters and sanctioning the hell out of Russia is the proper strategy. In the meantime maybe Elvis can erect some more straw men for you.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...inland/629473/

Here's also an article fully refuting Putin's claim, fake historical analysis that Russians and Ukrainians are one in the same, which is at the heart of the bloodshed, denial of the Ukrainian right to exist with a fundamental genocide that we are witnessing.

It's like I said before, there's an international ideological war going on between democracy and autocracy. A portion of the Republican party is on the wrong side of this. And it's why we have turncoats in this forum calling on Ukraine to surrender and certainly give away their country, many executed or shuffled off to concentration "re-education" camps as they are tired of looking at the burned out Russians tanks and other casualties and embarrassments. They aren't worried about Putin doing something stupid and suicidal, they just don't like watching their side bleed. They want to turn it into a "liberal / conservative" or "Democrat / Republican" thing but they are none of the above. Reagan and others of the like who have gone before us are turning in their graves. True conservatives and Republicans stand up to murderous dictators. Those masquerading as the same are phony populists who have abandoned the ideological and ethical underpinnings of the US.

Thanks Joe!

The dumbasses stuck their noses where they didn't belong.

I see them caving and looking weak Not Vlad!

Vlad will double down triple down.

Remember VOLGOGRAD.

When all else fails.

Press the fucking button and erase Kyiv.

Needs to post his top 5 list.

#1 DC.

#2 Wall St.

#3 Berlin.

#4 Brussels.

#5 London.

Or at least fire a few ICBMs off the coast of LOS Angeles and the eastern seaboard (and sure hope he doesn't spare the bay area) LOL.

[Paulie97]

Yep, the longer this goes on, it will only get worse for everyone. They will push Putin into a corner and he will do something really stupid.

Give him a marginal win and end this.

"There will be peace in our time. " Look it up. He wants the entire country of Ukraine and more while restoring the old empire as he has stated, and certainly isn't going to stop even for the time being with anything less than the entire Ukrainian coastline which landlocks the country and wraps his hand around their economy. The only thing "marginal" here is your intelligence, while coming here daily repeating the same appeasment falsehoods ad nauseam. Come up with some new material. You said in your wishful thinking that the Ukrainian army was puny and wouldn't last a week. You were wrong then and will continue to be so.

[Paulie97]

It isn't only the Democrats but the majority of Republicans that support our activity in Ukraine. People like you and Drama Free that want to toss Ukraine under the wheels, though a loud voice among men who pay for sex, are a small minority of the US population. And there's of course no reason why the last Ukrainian needs to die or be shipped off to Russian concentration, "re-education" camps. In the end your appeasement / capitulation angle ultimately will result in more death and misery while putting the West at risk in the policy of cowering to a bloodthirsty dictator. Also your need to erect lies of your own imagination to attack says a lot to the weakness of your position, while again demonstrating your lack of personal integrity.
