What exactly brought about the change of attitude? How did so many people come to see Putin as an ally instead of an enemy and give two shits about a free country being destroyed? Is it neocon backlash? Was invading Iraq and Afghanistan what caused it? I think so.
Maybe it's Monday, or maybe it's some other depressing thing, but for the first time ever I agree with Barbos on one thing.
Oh well. They are jubilant today.
Hmm. Interesting question, but American conservatives/Trumpites are the first to want to turn every foreign nation into "black glass." They're the true "America! Fuck Yeah!" that Team America was making fun of.
Trump isn't endorsing the invasion. He is just say that Zelensky should put an end to the violence and make a deal with Russia... giving up a part of Ukraine in the process and get absolutely nothing back for it.
You're right that lots of ignorant citizens in the U.S. like to say "turn it to glass." Neocons are dismissive, paranoid, militaristic, simple-minded supremacists when you boil it all down to the dregs. Maybe I should add "selfish" to that description. I certainly wouldn't want them sitting on my jury. I suppose their love of Putin is no different than many Americans love of Hitler in the day combined with a healthy dose of cultural antisemitism. The Jew is now just the Liberal.
Yeah, the Iranians were jubilant for a minute when they deposed the Shah, and then had a very, very, very rude awakening. The impression that I get (from what I've heard) is that the "rebels" aren't noble revolutionaries fighting for freedom and democracy. They just managed to overthrow a decrepit dictatorship that's only survived because of support from another decrepit dictatorship which has recently been exposed as a paper tiger.Oh well. They are jubilant today.
Guess they deserve a day off from the misery, every thirty years or so.
At least it means Pootey is saddled with a rude house guest for a while.
If you don't levy a single criticism against an invading force, call the head of that force your long-time friend, and criticize their victims for not surrendering to them... well, it's painting a certain picture, and if you don't see that picture, I think I can assume at the very least that you are not Ukrainian. Or, really, European. He's sending a extremely clear message, uncomonly clear for a man who usually can't string a complete sentence together, about what the US response will be for the next four years. In Ukraine, and anywhere else Russia and China decide they can afford to invade.
Some Americans have been convinced…,
Unfortunately, dead on accurate.
I'm uncertain how much is pointed towards the Chinese. The problem Putin will have with Ukraine is he ain't gonna get enough to justify the cost. And Russia will be very limited on expansion ideas. They can't move past Ukraine. So they would need to keep pushing until Ukraine runs out of bullets.
Toni is right. It's the money. Orange Dotard wants to expand his brand to any and all takers because it means more money.
Yeah. Holllllly shit. This is why Gerald Ford, near the end of his life, told a confidant that he would be drummed out of the GOP if he was starting out in politics (and he was referring to Gingrich's GOP.)
Depending on what sites are bombed, why not? And Syria is still highly volatile - nothing wrong with a buffer zone.
They might get in the whey.
