Praise Putin

It was wasn't it? But if toothless saber-rattling is what you consider presidential competence I guess Joe is the man for the job. We have always been at war with Eurasia.
On the other hand the Biden family has had a long-standing corrupt relationship with Ukraine maybe it's just about the payoffs?
And as far as our allies who are only allies because we pick up the tab for their defense they're already purchasing their energy products from Putin.

You stand with Russia, good enough.
You stand with Russia, good enough.
I think I already mentioned Joe McCarthy so fair enough. I don't know how long we've been chatting over the years but I think most of these guys can you I've always been against the ginned-up cold or hot war with Russia. I have no beef with them and they aren't powerful enough to be much competition. One of the reasons is there stupid form of government which Joe Biden seems compelled bring here. That aside I think we're better off with better relations with them. Much better than to jerk off with this Orwellian kind of fake war while the Chinese eat our lunch.

Psaki Recommends Ukrainians Just Take A Kickboxing Class And Have A MargaritaJanuary 24th, 2022 - BabylonBee.com
WASHINGTON, D.C.—As Russia continues to amass forces to invade Ukraine, sources say Ukrainians are feeling down about the whole situation. To help them deal with a very depressing week, White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki recommended Ukrainians just unwind with some kickboxing classes and margaritas to make themselves feel better.
"Listen, I know this is a very sad time," said Psaki. "I want to encourage you to feel those emotions. Then go do some kickboxing, or maybe some hot yoga or pilates, and then drown your sorrows in tequila while at brunch with your girlfriends. Sometimes, that's all you can do!"
Foreign policy experts and State Department officials agree that this may be the only option left available to Ukrainians who want to live in a free country apart from Russian tyranny since they already tried fighting Russians with all the blankets Obama sent them and it didn't work very well.
To help ease the suffering of Ukraine, the Biden administration has offered to send them $68 Billion in tequila mixers and free N95 masks.
Psaki later clarified that Biden has committed to evacuating Burisma executives before Putin invades.

So there’s a term for this type of journalism: outrage porn.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outrage_porn
Apparently it has been a thing for a while with the term “outrage porn” getting coined back in 2009. There was a time l thought NPR would be above such things. Hell, my earliest recollection of NPR was how boring it was, haha.
I read the NPR article. It comes off as scholarly-ish. But it’s clear to me what the goal here is. Invoke Trump’s name, “he’s praising the enemy?!?”, raise some blood pressure, gets some clicks, etc.
When you get into the meat of the article, there’s a region of Ukraine that wants to be affiliated with Russia (so it would seem). Well ok, let ‘em. Should Trump have said those things? Eh, probably not ideal, but what is Joe Q Public gonna do about it? There’s nothing productive we can do with this information. Voting or not voting for him isn’t an option until we’re told otherwise. The goal here is to piss someone off, and that’s it.
I hate this shit guys. It’s selfish on the part of news outlets and borders on destructive to the psyches of folks who take this shit too seriously. I see it as a form of manipulation, but it’s so damn effective that every news outlet seems to be doing it now. You can click just about any link in this forum and see examples of outrage porn. It’s like news outlets trying to keep up with the Joneses and pissing off the entire nation in the process.

I despise the Democrats and yet I agree with you here. Trump is a fucking fat twat that really needs to have a heart attack and perish from this earth because he's a big reason we're so weak. Everybody's energy is directed at.eithrt screaming at the sky about him or sucking his dick when it really really needs to be on things that matter at this point.

A fine example of outrage porn from the other side. Invoking Obama’s name, it’s all his fault, raise some blood pressure, get some clicks, etc. Joe Q Public can’t do anything productive with this information either. Everybody will already not be voting for Obama in the future. Like and share, tell your friends so they can be pissed off too.

Questions for people from both parties. Have you always supported president who wanted to go to war to 'defend democracy' or "stop communism' in the past and does your Zeal apply to other non-democratic countries around the world?
Or does it depend on which party? Also is the phrase blood for oil still relevant?
By the way since they are pretty heavily involved in Ukraine is anybody from the left still Furious about Halliburton?

Barry was another weak President, when Putin marched through Crimea, he sent a housewarming gift.
If I recall, it was blankets from the Martha Stewart collection.
I hope they matched the walls on the Gulags.

Did ya'll see the 'news conference'. Biden is really mentally slipping. He tried taking questions and finally just doddered out.

Well, if if we look at recent history Trump was always called “Putin’s Puppet”.
I wonder why Dementia Joe is refusing to stop the Swift Banking transactions against Vladimir?
Now who’s the puppet?
