How come Putin and his supporters aren’t neocons?
I have a question for my own education and I am asking you and I think I will get a straight answer
I have not strong opinions on the Ukraine Russian conflict although it appears around here there are two pretty passionate sides but there isn’t a lot of why behind the support of one or the other side.
Can you briefly explain the what the theory is behind support of either Ukraine or Russia? I might be simple on this but it appears to me the Ukraine defense is rooted in opposition to Russian expansion in all things. It seems defending the Russian side is more directed at we simply should. It interfere as it is. Not our problem nor business.
What am I missing?
“How come Putin and his supporters aren’t neocons?”
Because they don’t spend every minute, of every day, trying to figure out how to weaken and dismember Russia, even if it means WW3, as far as I know.
Because a Neocon is someone who wants America to intervene in a foreign dispute.
Putin's "supporters" merely want America to stay out of it.
