Trump isn't, but I've had my fill of Tucker defending Putin.

Please share with us how you disagree with any of those points.

Same to you

“We’re getting 800,000 barrels of oil a day; we’re spending 2.2 billion dollars a month. We’re funding this. We’re funding his [Putin’s] movement into Ukraine.”

From war room this am.

On this one issue the leftist womyn are not wrong. I hate that this disgusting group is one my side on this.

I agree. Whole heartedly. We must get out of the business of worrying about other countries and protect our own.

Start with the first sentence. I don't believe that alleged "U.S. imperial expansion" had anything to do with starting this war. It's a fundamentally ridiculous premise on its face.

Russian apologists love to play the "legitimate Russian fears about invasion from the west", and then cite to Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, and Hitler as their excuse for controlling and repressing other peoples' to their west. Utter and complete crap.

Our imperalist expansion? It is not as if the Russians are lacking territory.

I heard an short interview of some guy in Ukraine. When asked what he wanted he said in broken English
"We just want them to leave and go away and not kill us!"

Well...the Soviet Union threatened world domination, and there really weren’t any defensive missiles in Cuba.

So it is our fault the Russians invaded Ukraine??

Our overlords have their hands in everything , in every country, with every tyrant, and in every business. The US is renowned for stirring up the bees in their nests when they don’t get their way. It’s what the swamp does.

I must agree. The Russia-Ukraine situation is not our problem. We need to stay out of this, and not provoke things any further. I fear for our world if Russia uses nuclear weapons. If certain American politicians' families lose their high paying jobs with Ukrainian energy companies, well that's too bad.

You’ve been here for a long time and I have a lot of respect for you, but you have no idea of what I think of this entire situation.

Well there is a very non-direct answer to a very direct question.

I agree with them about how this is the imperialism of the global corporate fascist state which currently controls the US, with ultimate control by China.

I disagree with the part they said about it being racist. This is simply the corporate state manipulating all sides for money and power, not for race reasons.

it is a weird feeling to be partly aligned with AOC and her ilk though. Something stinks about the massive conformity on this issue being pushed by the MSM.

It's a joke. The alleged Russian fear of invasion from the west as justification for seizing Ukraine is so much propaganda. Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he believed the West would respond militarily, and of course we haven't. Yet, we're supposed to be believe that the people who won't go to war over an invasion of Ukraine somehow would be willing to invade Russia itself?? It's nonsensical, and Putin himself didn't believe it for a moment. It was just an excuse.

And that's not even mentioning that Poland didn't present the slightest threat to Russian when Stalin gobbled up the eastern 2/3 of the country in 1939, nor did Finland threaten the Russians when they invaded Finland in 1939. They just grabbed that land because they could get away with it.

The Russian desire for an empire that goes beyond just Russian-speaking people goes back a very long time. That's their motivation, and it always has been.

“Why don’t these morons just go and fight with the Russian army?”

That would require something called personal commitment, which liberals can not comprehend.
It would also require putting their health and safety on the line which liberals are hysterically adverse to.

In other word...ain’t gonna happen.

Let’s get rid of the UN before we speak of any other organization. They could put it in a nice place like Somalia, we could make Sanders the UN ambassador and rent a nice apartment for him and Jane in Mogadishu.
