They’d better hope these acts motivate Russians to get rid of Putin, instead of rallying around him.
Not likely, unfortunately.
Good news is that Putin’s going to be dead of spinal cancer in a year.
Wait till this happens to you for supporting Trump or “Trumpism”.
What is the neoconservative argument as to why I should pay more for my gas and oil and how much should we allow Biden to increase these necessities?
Nope. I voted for Trump twice and worked on his campaign. I’m not afraid.
Then what?
I am not a necon. The Russians need to get the hell out of Ukraine. It’s not their country.
At least Putin will be dead and it will be up to the oligarchs to see if they want to go down the same road with Putin’s successor. We’ll see.
Corrupt, not corrupt. It’s their own country. They shouldn’t be getting invaded just because Putin doesn’t want to have a western ally on his border.
This just gives us Western proles a heads-up into the future TechnoFascist world dictatorship. The mask slipped bigly in Fascist Canada when Justine's little hench wench Chrystia went full Nazi-Commie on the bank accounts of the dissenters.

Oh Geez, this will rile up the anti cancel culture cult. Cancelling Russian banks, taking away there ability to make money? The humanity.
You know why we went to war with Germany in WWI?
Spellbound by the murmuring Faces on the TeeVee, these types don't think that far ahead...

Too many allegiances tied too tightly. Luckily this one we seem to be taking our queues from the Cold War, proxy proxy proxy.

The tipping point was the Zimmerman Note, the thought that Germany was even thinking of trying to turn Mexico against us was enough to go to war.
Like I said, I am not a neocon. And Ukraine is their own country. And Russia needs to get the hell out.
