    Have a link to this quote? You could've just made it up as far as any of us know.

    So naive. The Big Tech liberals in San Francisco were eager to take away Trump's platform -- they would have agreed to any reason to do so. And it's highly likely that the Biden Administration forced their hand.

    I'm not sure why you doubt that. "No way" is exactly how Putin would respond.

    Any credible sources?

    also you haven’t responded to anyones question to you regarding how you would have handled this ie go to war? Are you capable of actual independent thought?

    Yup he would personally fly to Russia and assassinate Putin himself with an orange Cheeto.

    Isnt it Trump who wanted out of NATO? Why would Putin risk undoing driving the wedge between the US and their allies? Lol

    Or how about Trump’s warning to Erdogan? “Don’t be a tough guy” Later they invade.

    This list can go on ALL DAY! But can we move this Trump saying Trump is great nonsense to the US thread.

    Edit: To be fair I also mean any rebuttal.

    Russian sells some $400 million per day in oil. They've been amazing gold, silver, and other currencies, and solidifying ties with China in preparation for war.

    All his sources are from very right leaning news groups.

    I don’t see that quote reported elsewhere.

    I don't think currencies (other than bitcoin) can get amazed, but maybe amassed?

    Even if that exchange is factual, which is doubtful, Putin is perceptive enough to know when a blowhard like Trump is bluffing.

    Wow! Could this sway some wingers in US away from Uncle Putie? :D

    EDIT: Darn, nope. Saw @Os's post from twitter. Apparently it just inspires new waves of self pity. :D

    Putin is calling these brave Ukrainians that are fighting to the death for their freedoms Neo Nazis and drug addicts. You loser liberals in here are calling conservatives traitors and Putin’s stooges.

    You both can go and fukk yourselves!

    Funny how the American left often makes similar accusations of their political opponents. There are many parallels between state controlled media in Russia and how the liberal media works with Democratic politicians to smear political opponents.

    We would regard a Russian citizen as being stupid for believing their state propaganda. But American liberals are convinced that they are intelligent when their believe American propaganda. How naive they are!

    A Letter to the Western Left from Kyiv
    Why did so many leftists turn a blind eye to Russian aggression?

    Heartened by seeing the protests in Russia and major Russian figures against the war. It’s good to see that many Russians aren’t simply rallying around the flag.

    Hopefully enough internal and external pressure will bring Putin to his senses.
