    Somewhat inexplicable what these cultists have become.

    This isn't a right / left issue.

    Its a Democracy issue.

    You are either for democracies, free and fair, where people get to vote and choose their own leaders, or you aren't.

    And if you aren't, well **** off.

    If you think you are going to be spared from consequence if a World War breaks out, you aren't. Everyone will lose.

    This again is going to be another useless war....

    If all of the nations in NATO or so pissed all they had to do was say hey Putin, you attack them we will make them part of NATO....

    GAME OVER!!!!

    But NO!!!!

    All the freaking Businessmen and Politicians get RICK over a damn war, while us commoners send our kids to go off to war to come back either disfigured or in a body bag..

    Russia would not have attacked Ukraine if they didn't secure China's backing a couple of weeks ago. Sanctions will mean nothing when they'll get what they need through China.

    China has been upping their aggression but hopefully have too much at stake economically to go to war. I wouldn't be surprised if their support for Russia is a way of going to war without actually going to war.

    The chauvinism of their citizens even the ones who have emigrated are probably on the same level as the MAGA crowd

    I wonder if the Russian soldiers are really much INTO this war and may defect, or quit? I think the Ukraine should be advertising free citizenship for those that want to defect.....come live in a FREE country etc...

    And I have 2 boys of draftable age - this is a big fear for me....these consistent bullshit wars.

    I think you have to worry about the draft...

    That would be a Party killer for any Party that implemented that...

    One of the only things he's ever tweeted that I can agree with. The Taliban mention being funny and true at the same time.

    There are always problems. What these guys do is find away to blow up any problem into a crisis and blame a democrat. That's all they know how to do. Meanwhile, when a problem happens when a Republican is in power - it's still a liberal's fault!

    It's always the liberal's fault!

    Our cities are terrible! Nevermind that liberal cities pay far far more in the share of the taxes then they receive back.

    Someone commits a crime! It's liberals fault!

    Global supply chains upset by a once in a century pandemic - it's the liberals fault!!!

    Russia invades Ukraine - it's the liberals fault! The liberals made Putin want to claim his Ukraine!

    Every single problem in the world - blame Biden and the liberals. Before it was blame Hillary and the liberals or Blame Obama and the liberals or blame Bill Clinton and liberals and next it will be blame X_democrat for every single problem.

    Will they once ever take accountability? No. That word isn't part of the conservative vernacular. Their MO - point the finger at everyone else but themselves. Pathetic.

    While a feel about this generally the same way you do. The problem is that Putin has nukes is just crazy enough to use them. I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past Putin.

    We need the Russian people to want this war to end.
