It’s weird how the loon right and loon left hate each other but are so often on the same side.

American Medical "Ethicist"

It’s not clear to me how saying it’s suicidal for Ukraine to keep up this fight is “supporting” Putin.

Isn’t Scott Ritter a pedophile?

Every last one of the pinwheels-for-eyes Lefty bluechecks on the Twittsewer that are hateful pieces of Mitt, and whom I've hated for the six years that I've been on there fighting for Trump - are 100% in favor of Ukraine.

I posted an example of one of those pieces of Mitt in post #3.

He wants to kill ordinary Russians "because Pooty".

A freaking "medical ethicist".

I hope the Russians take note of him, and where his family lives.

“This is WAR, and right-wingers absolutely love a good war.”

He mis-spelled “Uniparty”

[DoodleBob]

During the covid-19 pandemic he repeatedly stepped into controversy by universally criticizing those who weren't fully vaccinated. Referring to them in a CNN appearance, he asserted, "I’ll condemn them. I’ll shame them. I’m blame them … We can penalize them more, say you will have to pay more on your hospital bill. You can’t get life insurance, disability insurance at affordable rates if you aren’t vaccinated.

He looks one cheeseburger away from a visit to the ER...and when that happens many will say "I’ll condemn him. I’ll shame him. I’m blame him … We can penalize him more, say he will have to pay more on his hospital bill. You can’t get life insurance, disability insurance at affordable rates if you aren’t dieting."

Isn’t Scott Ritter a pedophile?

Yes - he's a JeffreyPedo, not a JoePedo, though.

[kiryandil]

Be a shame if he got a visit from some “concerned” Russian types...

Lol @ ham handed propaganda: If you don't support Ukraine you're a leftist.

[bigdaddy45]

Geez, what are these guys’ FreeRepublic handles? I read these sentiments all the time here!

[Williams]

Those here supporting Putin or criticizing Ukraine or arguing we shouldn’t help, have adopted many left wing arguments. This article identifies many of those themes as coming from the far left.

[ifinnegan]

This is where the “liberal” vs “leftist” distinction comes.

I think generally there is no distinction.

The hardcore left are being circumspect but the squad, Warrens, Bernies etc...have made their statements that this is all the fault of the U.S. and western imperialism known quietly.

[oblomov]

It’s weird how the loon center agrees with the deep state on everything, even when they stand to derive no benefit from this acquiescence.

[SoConPubbie]

Those here supporting Putin or criticizing Ukraine or arguing we shouldn’t help, have adopted many left wing arguments. This article identifies many of those themes as coming from the far left.

And now we have the next level of misdirection from those who refuse to acknowledge the Hyper levels of Pro-Ukranian Propaganda.

[oblomov]

The Ukraine war is a proxy war between two factions of the left.

The old anti-authoritarian left has been marginalized, and they aren’t one of the warring factions.

It’s between the nationalist neo-Stalinist left and transnational corporatist progressivism.

[freespirit2012]

Not sure what means.

[piasa]

Scott Ritter, the Burger King pedophile...as I recall, his wife is a Russian whom he met while inspecting Soviet weapons sites.

[piasa]

It is an attempt to demoralize Ukrainians. The same people that claim Ukraine cannot win are also the ones who constantly scream how invincible Afghanistan is.
