Putin, often admired by the fascists of the United States, is getting humiliated in his Ukrainian adventure.

I guess democracy is pretty useful.

This war won't end with him still in power.

Russia brings a lot of inertia. And they're swimming in cash from India and China buying their oil. Still the MFY over there.

They'll beat Ukraine.

I'm sure you hope so, you fucking commmie

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about. Putin's become a creature of the far right, tight w/the Orthodox Church, anti LGBTQ, strongly nationalist. He's not of the left-a Commie he isn't.

They'll beat Ukraine out of shear numbers and weaponry, plus the fact that they don't care how many people they'll lose as long as they win the war.

As usual, you root for a dictator.
I'd ask what's wrong with you, but it's pretty obvious.
Why don't you go volunteer to help out? What party did Putin belong to in the USSR?
Why are you like this?

Nope, he and his brain, Dugin, are old leftists. He's not "right" at all.

JL, Putin's a slithery creature who gravitates to the winning side in politics. He was a KGB Commie till the SU fell. And he considers that a tragedy. But now I'd classify him as a part of the fascist right, I mean, look at his loyalties.Where did I root for him? Some on the American right do like him, therefore all conservatives do, therefore I do.(???). Don't you see holes in that reasoning?

I bet you agree w/some things Marx said. Does that make you a Communist?

TBP-He's always been a strong supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church-not Communistic, that.

Where did you root for him?
On this very thread.
I support Ukraine, not Russia.

More lies from you, Johnny Least.

So do I, JL.

But I also agree w/Putin's opposition to LGBTQ propaganda and gender theory bullshit in schools.I agree w/his opposition to massive immigration and in his belief in preserving national
and cultural identities. But he's still an imperialistic bastard who wants to destroy America-(if the Democrats and the rest of the left don't destroy it first). And for those reasons, he's my enemy and yours,

Here's the kind of thing Putin w/oppose, JL. People on the left probably think it's just wonderful.

No, you don't. You can't possibly. Johnny Least says so.

We're sending Abrams tanks now. Other NATO heavyweights have other tanks that may go too. I guess those are good. The Uke's seem pumped. Personally, I think if we staged a couple of dozen Warthogs out of Poland, we'd wipe the floor with the whole Russian army in a couple of months. Only that long because they have to land for maintenance and resting the pilots. They're upgrading the hell out of the planes again.

That thing can carry and fire everything but the kitchen sink. And the new modifications may even allow the addition of that to the platform.

The Abrams is a gas-guzzler though.

We'll see what happens w/the Russians come spring.The only thing that w/stop them is if Putin is forced out, and things change.

Yeah, just shoot the gas tankers, right? We're only sending 31. They'll probably be lawn ornaments a year from now. Maybe Germany's are slicker.

Problem with my plan is it would take years to train pilots and ground support. Have to go the Flying Tigers route and furlough the personnel so they can "volunteer". Bah Bah Black Wheat. That, and we probably need AWACS controllers, protected by Raptors, and before you know it, the whole damn Air Force is TDY Chernobyl. Volunteering.

Possibly train Ukes in secret-maybe doing that now.

It occurs to me that NATO wants us to put SOMETHING of ours in there so we're sharing the risk with them. Warthogs mite fill that bill; maybe don't need tanks. I recall when they sent Stinger missiles into Afghanistan to take out Russian planes and helos, and it turned the whole war against them.

I think they have some anti-aircraft arms now. They must, or they wouldn't be able to poop without getting lit up.

Saw a good story last night about Russia's energy economy gambit. The whole world ganged up on them to render their leverage useless. Their oil and gas became Confederate, and Europe found other sources. Norway for instance. Caught Putin and me both by surprise. We should get out more. Record global wheat crops this year.

Russia's sad performance to date makes them less of an attractive military ally for China which has imperial ambitions of its own. i feared the two together w/b invincible. maybe not so much now. And maybe China mite not be so eager to try Taiwan w/o a strong Russia to back them against us.

The media, lefties in particular, are trumpeting Russia's woes and even hinting that Putin's reign is in trouble. Wish that were true. We'll see this spring how Russia's offensive makes out.

Big geopolitical happenings happening.

Every day. Interesting times.

scary times

Not me. I bought copper mining stock this week. Build and bomb, baby.

Didn't Joey say that sending tanks would be "World War III?"

Not really. He's a creature of Aleksandr Dugin, who considers his theory to transcend both right and left, though in actual policy, it's left.

And yet, your boy prevented Poland from doing that.

Fascists are not "the right." They're half a baby step right of Communists, but they're very close cousins. The difference is about the difference between maroon and burgundy.

Giovanni Gentile, the brains of fascism and essentially its founder, as well as being Mussolini's ghostwriter, said that fascism is a form of socialism -- in fact, its most viable form. Mussolini himself had beena Communist (like Putin) and Hitler was a Marxist.

As usual.

Yeah, how could they do that to your ally?

Who posts multiple posts constantly?
Someone starved for attention

Russia will try to overwhelm Ukraine this spring with sheer numbers and they'll likely succeed..Typical Russian tactics

Lease, I never rooted for Putin against Ukraine but tried to explain him.And as far as Russia's concerned, reality dictates that they'll win.I don't like it, but that's reality, But reality is something you lack. I mean, you probably think that Biden handled the balloon masterfully and that the airmen who whacked it made a great shot.

Proving again your utter inability to put up a logical, rational argument. Why do you waste our time?
