Of course they have. And I don’t condone it. I oppose war on principle because of this. The thing you guys are missing is that what Russia is doing is no different than what the US does. You don’t think innocent civilians died in Iraq? What did Iraq even do to the US anyways? Russia’s invasion of Ukraine appears eminently more justifiable than most, if not all of the US’s many wars of aggression.
I was just reading an article this morning about how the CIA went after Bob Marley because he supported a socialist candidate for Jamaica instead of the US backed one. Let's not forget our "support our troops" who taught torture techniques to other foreign shitbags down at the school of the Americas.
For the record, I cant stand Russia or Ukraine, Putin should be taken out as soon as the Russian people can make it happen. Having said that, I think a lot of the Americans having problems with us helping Ukraine has more to do with the fact that billions of dollars we sent them for military aid has been put into private accounts and spent on personal enrichment items rather than its intended purpose, and they keep asking for more no matter what because we have not put any stipulations of accountability into place. They are even asking us to fund their entire economy and infrastructure rebuilding effort with no regard to specifics whatsoever.
You didn't read his post. He says it's worth billions to arm Ukraine otherwise your kids will have to fight and die. You need to be more fearful.For the record, I cant stand Russia or Ukraine, Putin should be taken out as soon as the Russian people can make it happen.

The information regarding the spending of war funding on personal items and bank accounts from high-ups in the Ukrainian regime is readily available, and also that Ukraine took part in the whole trump/russia collusion hoax when asked to by the current crop of liars that are in office just to give it some street cred, but luckily it was proven to be a hoax. All of it. And of course nobody on the Ukraine end stepped up and said so because the people giving them funding are the very ones who made the whole thing up in the first place.
So half the country has a very bitter taste in their mouth regarding the whole scenario, it doesn't really mean they support that shithead Putin or even like the asshole. I seriously doubt anyone in here gives a shit about Russia.. Those who think we should continue to help fund Ukraine's war effort should at least be sensible enough to demand accountability by the people giving billions of our tax dollars to them...
Just my 2 cents...
Do you have any idea how popular he is there? It’s painful to hear so many people spout off based entirely on western propaganda, and then claim anything contrary is Russian propaganda.
His clutch play was restoring orthodoxy, since it is far and away the biggest denomination and is an inseparable part of Russian history. He has poured many many millions into restoring churches and monasteries there. Valaam, for starters.
Easy to appear popular when the “election” you win time and again is a sham ?
Understanding is also necessary when watching very limited news from Russia. His public appearances are attended by pro-Putin crowds that are extremely vetted.
Or just doing something basic, like securing borders. In the modern era a little goes a long way!!!
The dykes don't like him. Shame.
That’s one of his policies we could definitely use here.
Democrats and most of the Republicans could take a lesson from him on pretty much every issue. Borders, patriotism, religion, preserving nuclear families. He's more American than most of the democrat party.
You don’t think appearances are vetted here too? I think one of the reasons so many here fear him is because he truly is popular, same with, or at least used to be with Trump. I have never seen any credible data that suggests the elections there were rigged like they were here. But sure, some people there don’t like them, and they probably have less freedom to speak out against him than we do here.
And you call others a clown ??? ??????
That’s putting it lightly.
Yeah but you're just saying the word "clown." I have substantiated over and over, from a geopolitical and rational perspective why @Racerxrated is a clown. Unlike @Racerxrated , If you think I'm wrong and provide sufficient evidence to back up your views, I'll change my mind, or at least respect how you've come to your conclusions. There is more to geopolitical analysis than US vs THEM, GOOD GUY vs BAD GUY name calling.
I never said I supported Putin. It's just idiots here on this board that think if you don't hate him and think he's "Hitler" then you support him. And for that matter, I don't think it's unreasonable to support him, I don't though. But what leads you to believe:
Oh ok Bobo
