    What an idiotic thing to say. Russia was concerned because of all the times nato invades it’s neighbors? Uhm that’s what russia does, not Nato.

    The safe and comfortable First Worlders and their itchy trigger fingers can't hear you.

    The Guardian has told them to hate Roosia, so that's what they do. The MSM calls the whole thing an 'invasion', so that's what they believe. The cool kids on social media are virtue signalling with Ukrainian flags, so they do too.

    Well there is the whole "reality" part of the 'invasion' as well.

    Black crime is okay because of racism.

    Palestinian terrorism is okay because they got kicked off the land

    Russias invasion is okay because NATOs so scary and Ukraine might have labs for something

    For every evil doer on the front lines there’s an army of apologists backing him up.

    There's the folks that just watch CNN or BBC who will never know about things like the Odessa Trade Union fire where neo-nazis attacked Russian demonstrators and burned 40+ of them to death in 2014, prompting Russian troops to come in restore order when the Ukrainian govt couldn't (or wouldn't).

    And then there's the folks who just don't care that Ukraine has a real nazi problem because they hate Putin more than they hate nazis.

    The west has been funding, arming and training those Ukrainian nazis specifically to antogonize Russia.

    ...and Putin took the bait hook, line, sinker and the whole 9 yards.

    Russia is wrong for invading Ukraine. But it didn't happen in a vacuum. We (the west) are the proverbial troll that deliberately antagonized this violent reaction from Russia to lure them into this trap. Our political establishment has always had a hardon to mount Russia's uncooperative head on the wall and they're gonna get it no matter how many innicent Ukrainians have to suffer and die in the process.

    This broke days ago. But yes. You know what has really baffled me about this whole thing? How conservatives have jumped right on the bandwagon without asking any questions. The same people that have lied about everything for 10 plus years, the msm and the elites are at it again and conservatives have gone right along. And it is only escalating. At first they were somewhat neutral, then rooting for Ukraine, then sabre rattling, then sending weapons, and now openly acknowledging that we helped kill Russian generals and sink battleships while flooding the region with our arsenal. What's next?

    Be the first ones on your block to have your boy come home in a box I guess.

    Pope Francis is still a thing?
    Who knew?
    Some people are still swayed by the opinions of a soon-to-be 86-year-old man?
    Pope Frank should resign like his predecessor (Pope Benny).
    With public comments of that nature (regarding Ukraine) the Catholic Church needs to look for Pope Frank's replacement.

    It’s mostly Russia’s fault. But to pretend nato had nothing to do with it is as overly emotional of a position as one can take

    The Pope should shut up and clean up his on backyard. After that, he can go straight to Hell.

    Francis is a big advocate of the clot shots, so that makes him on Satan's side.

    But even a broken clock is right twice a day. He got this one right, NATO is the aggressor over years.

    This poster is yet another Putin hater...Among other Putin haters like the Biden Administration, NATO, EU and current government of Ukraine.
    Now, half of the rest of the world is sending arms to Ukraine to fight Russia so half of the rest of the world hates Putin.

    I kinda think Putin's paranoia that the world hates him is justified.:roll: In fact it's pretty well established that many throughout the world hated Putin before the invasion of Ukraine.

    Some pseudo-conservatives, er Americans, for example (BTW, many pseudo-conservatives want America to be the policemen to the world), have vested interests in Ukraine because:
    (1) the current government of Ukraine pays pseudo-conservatives, er Americans, for example, and said pseudo-conservatives don't wish to give up that cash cow
    (2) pseudo-conservatives, er Americans, for example, want a close watchdog to Russia, er Putin, who's antagonistic to Russia, er Putin, like the current government of Ukraine.

    Nah, I mean the thing that is happening. How it filters out to people depends on them.

    You really know nothing about it.
    I suppose you must also support Mexico attacking the US because of the way we treat Mexicans in our country.
    Russia has been meddling in Ukraine ever since it became independent, propping up corrupt governments and inciting violence to create pretexts for their agenda.
    The Ukrainians don’t want to be a Russian vassal state, no matter how much the putin apologists try to spin it.
    Ukrainians who would rather be Russian should go live in Russia.

    Lol…to all the putin apologists, the Russians just threatened your great white hope Elon for helping the Ukrainians maintain their internet communication system. If they off him, your dreams of twitter letting the maga extremists back online is toast.
    It seems that trump has now forced his gang to become avid quislings for putin, like he is.
    I have never seen so many American apologists for a murderous dictator since the American fools who polished turds for hitler in the 30s.

    What part of "Russia is wrong for invading Ukraine" makes you think I support nations attacking other nations?
