You can always be counted on to come out with nonsensical, emotive and childish retorts, that have no basis in reality.
It's like asking me if I supported the KGB during the '70s when Jimmy Carter was President. No, that's a silly question. My allegiance is always to the United States of America.
Vladimir Putin is a thug. I think it's pretty plain enough to see that unless you are on his payroll.

So why should George Washington’s advice in his Farewell Address regarding the need to avoid national debt and foreign entanglements matter to us today? George Washington recognized that a nation with poor credit could never survive. He knew from his personal business experience, as well as his experiences with the Article of Confederation government, that America must be able to pay its bills. If not, the country ran the risk of becoming financially reliant on a more prosperous nation and, thereby, losing our hard-earned independence.
Washington also knew from his experience with France and England that all nations did what was in their own best interest. If that meant being our friend, they have good relations with us. If that meant opposing America, they would just as easily take that position.
His advice to be just and equitable to all foreign countries and a permanent enemy to none is sound. Taking a neutral position whenever possible would prevent America getting drawn into wars and agreements which may not be in our best interest. That said, Washington points out while we should remain neutral whenever possible, we should always be prepared to defend America.
As a nation, we largely followed this policy until the twentieth century. One must only consider the seemingly endless wars in which America has engaged since then, and the vast sums of money we have spent, and the countless young men needlessly lost to comprehend the great sense of his words.
So what Biden is trying to do to Trump is probably OK. Think that grinning fool Biden wouldn’t celebrate with a press conference and happy dance if Trump died in Meritless Garland’s Epstein’s Memorial lockup.
Sad, inexcusable, and disproportional. Navalny had as much of a chance of shaking up the system as Cornel West has of becoming POTUS.
On the other hand, Navalny’s death is already being canceled out by those of innocent, uncharged J6 detainees in our own prisons.
Compare Navalny’s fate with that of a known mass murderer like Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, architect of 9-11.
KSM is living better now in a U.S. jail than he ever did on the run, and probably will outlive many of the firefighters who are dropping dead of cancer from the toxic fumes.
Coddling terrorists while persecuting for free speech on one side (the West), vs. persecuting or assassinating political prisoners on the other. All ridiculously irrational.
Beam us up, Scotty. There is no intelligent life on this planet.
Bad day for Deep State. There goes its hopes for a color revolution in Russia. Too bad, so sad.
I’m against the CIA meddling in other nations so our elite can fatten their bank accounts.
That’s nice. How are the j 6 gulag prisoners doing?
Navalny was 47 and looked fit. Who are you talking about?
Maidan was not even 1% about LBGTQ.
Go back and do a random sampling of a large amount of the discussion in Ukraine at the time...
