Russia is not blameless. They invaded another country. That stands.
What is surprising (not) to me are all my more Lefty/Wokie friends who now have Ukraine flags posted all over FB and are suddenly pro-war with Putin. They are now pro-2A with the free AK's to everybody on the street in Kiev. Almost like they got their orders to post the exact same thing at the exact same time. It's already Putin's fault for climate change, turbo inflation, and truckers protesting. I want to ask them how does it feel to be a stooge in that PSYOP but it isn't worth the effort.
I agree. BidenHarris wanted this war, now he has it, so put a rifle in his hand and point his ass eastward. It gripes my ass that old bastards like him get to talk up a war that OTHER folks are going to have to bleed for, while the originators just keep makin' bank on it, safe and securely distant from the front lines where the bullets fly. If they want a war, they need to be the ones leading the charge, rifle in hand.(1)
Yessir, Putin DID invade. I believe he was pushed into it by War Hawks in the MIC of the west(2), but the fact remains that HE is the one that did the invading, regardless of provocations. My esteem for him has taken a significant hit because he prove mentally weak and unable to resist the bait. I won't be going bowling with him or playing poker(3) - although I believe I could make a crap ton of money off him in a round of poker, since he can so easily be led around by the nose.
I've noticed the same thing with the marching orders going out to the Left simultaneously. It's more of the same though, really. Borders for Ukraine, but not for America. Arms for Ukrainians, but not Americans. It's still the same old double standard they have always ran. The thing is, the American Left has had a hard-on for Russia for years now, ever since Russia demonstrated in such spectacular ways that their core communist philosophy is fatally flawed. Hell, I even saw one on Facebook last night trying to be all redneck, posting a meme that said something to the effect of "Free AK's and unlimited ammo? Get to kill commies? Who's in?" - They are STILL trying to perpetuate the myth that Russia is still communist. We had 60 years of communism in Russia, so it's an easy sell for them because that is already firmly implanted in Americans' minds. The fact is, it appears that the commies have switched sides, and are now trying to take down Russia because.... the Red Peril!
I can't keep up with the changes, since I lost my dance card!

1. Amen.
2. Yes he was. However, I think that "pushing" was sloppy, belligerent, and benefited only a few. His response was very...Russian.
3. Shoot. I'll let him know we need to find a forth for next week.
