Opposition To Starting WWIII Doesn’t Make You Pro-Putin, It Just Means You’re Sane
The Federalist ^ | MARCH 26, 2022 | ELLE REYNOLDS

Posted on 03/26/2022 8:36:26 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

While Florida Democrats have been running around the Sunshine State yelling “gay!” the rest of the Democrat Party has been busy yelling “Russia!” in the general direction of anything they don’t like. The 2016 election of Donald Trump? Must have been Russia! Hunter Biden’s damning laptop? Russia!

Now that Russian President Vladimir Putin has invaded Ukraine in an attack that’s killed or displaced thousands of civilian innocents, Democrats are even more eager to accuse anyone they dislike of being a Russian plant. So that’s what they’ve resorted to instead of thoughtfully engaging arguments for why going to war with a nuclear power might not be the brightest idea.

It’s an obvious statement that shouldn’t need saying, but the willful distortion of common sense by manipulative media means not enough people are hearing it: Wanting to avoid World War III doesn’t mean you’re a Putin-lover, it just means you’re sane.

Sane people with any knowledge of world affairs aren’t saying that Putin is a great guy, that bombing civilians is totally fine, or that we should all go cheer the red army.

What they are saying is that communist China currently presents a far greater threat to American dominance on the global scale than Russia does and that tying ourselves up in a prolonged conflict in Europe is a bad idea that gives China free reign.

They’re saying that war is a somber thing, not to be entered into lightly or upon the emotional urgings of video game clips and old photos that turn out to be fake.

They’re saying that negotiations are a good thing for Ukraine and that trying to drag out the war (and thus a Russian siege on Ukrainian cities) is likely to cause more devastation while making Russia stronger and Ukraine weaker.

Our own politicians are a bigger threat to Americans than Putin could ever hope to be.

It only applies to a rational world where common sense rules. But we live,in a world where liberals control narrative, because they control,everything, includingmthe media (even controlling so,called,”conservative media” too apparently) and so if they say opposition means pro putin, the you can bet that they will pursue that person till they are ruined.

Vladimir Putin is in plenty of trouble on his own turf, and if not out of power within the year, will certainly be presiding over a much diminished nation. The Ukrainians have more than demonstrated they can carve big holes in the “blitzkrieg” army sent in by Putin, and its command structure has been put under great stress.

Keep the Ukrainians well supplied with the necessary tools of war, including trucks so they can maintain their own logistics, just keep actual footprint OUT of the Ukraine.

It is insane that they are worried about invasions in foreign countries, but neglect the one on our own border.

I have been appalled at the nimrods with the MSM, especially Fox, advocated for measures to get us involved in a nuclear confrontation. I can’t believe how stupid these people are and how shallow they actually are.

They must be able to cash their checks and have been promised a seat in the bomb shelter. Hope they enjoy their new lives in the 1850’s, if they survive the radiation, and aren’t stiffed on the promise of a spot in the bunker. Good luck with that, useless, talking head eaters.

As I posted elsewhere.

Starting in late 2013 and then in 2014 the US and Europe (NATO) led to a coup in Kiev, which overthrew the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych (the Madain Revolution).

Then in May 2014, Burisma Holdings Ltd. (Ukraine) started paying Hunter Biden
$83,333 per month.

But I’m sure this is all a conspiracy theory.

Look, war is a horrible thing and Putin is without a doubt evil and a murderer, but let’s all understand the full context of what’s really going on and not simplisticly: Putin bad, Zelenskyy good.

What is tragedy is that the Ukrainian people are so suffering and now the rest of the world is imperiled but again, let’s understand why this is happening.

Remember in 2016 how the Left and Lamestream media said that Trump would start WWIII if elected?

Appeasing and Kowtowing to aggressive dictators of military superpowers leads to global war.

Or allowing them to take over the world.

We can have peace with Putin. If we consent to “Russia World.”

Those calling for allowing Putin to acquire all of Ukraine. And then Belarus,Moldova,Lithuania, Estonia,Lavia and eventually Poland,Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia,Romania, Crotia,Slovenia,Bosnia and then on to Germany are useful idiots.

He was not satiated with Crimea,a piece of Moldova/Romania and a piece of Georgia.

He won’t stop until the US and NATO push back.

I guess American Putinistas are will to give Putin Alaska in return for a piece of paper guaranteeing ever lasting peace between Russia and the USA.

Wanting to avoid World War III doesn’t mean you’re a Putin-lover

And apposing Russia doesn't mean World War III will start

You would have thought we would have learned that lesson. I mean, it's not like we haven't run the experiment before.
