The "Nazi" regime led by a Jewish president and prime minister.

Can you not see the wisdom, propaganda-wise, of installing a Jewish president? After all, it's given you an easy way to pooh-pooh the established facts that Ukraine's government includes the country's neo-Nazi parties, and that the "punisher battalions" fighting in the East are led by unapologetic fans of the SS.

You should should look into it before you offer your opinion.

I think Putin's invasion is going to create a lot more Nazis.

I find this report in the Times of Israel notable. Russia summoned the Israeli Ambassador to Moscow and demanded clarification for their support of Nazis. https://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-summons-israeli-envoy-said-to-ask-why-are-you-backing-nazis/

Brother! Mark, you seem to have netted some folks who probably agree with your covid questioning, but aren't on board with looking askance at the geo-political shenanigans now under way. Is it because so many of them have nibbled on the anti-communist hor d'oeuvres that were offered?

Seems like the perfect "splitter" nevertheless. I, on the other hand, remember history. The only dog I have in this race is the sanctity of human life. Using Ukrainians as cannon fodder to play proxy wars is as despicable as allowing the citizens of Flint Michigan to keep drinking lead in their water, masking children, and bombing citizens of too many countries to enumerate which is the blood we Americans have on our hands.

There was some public sympathy for Putin... until he decided he wanted all of Ukraine. It's gone now and for good reason.

in case anyone is interested, I believe this is a statement from the American featured in this video. It is from the 24th. I found him to be compelling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1qXdDVnx20

Yeah, this point in the clip is where the guy shows his hand. He might as well admit he's a Stalinist. Not much different than a Nazi. Your point about using Chechen fighters is something I doubt he cares about.

Franklin, what justifies your claim that "this way ... Putin gets to kill Russians, Ukrainians and Jews"? Since when is he so indiscriminately bloodthirst—and, if he is, why hasn't he already slaughtered multitudes? That "Putin = Stalin" has been hammered by the Western media for decades now, but there's no more evidence for that equation than there is for "Trump = Hitler."

This reply is spot on. This is Putin’s aggression and blood is on his hands. Like he doesn’t know? My family fled the trap western Ukraine was in 70 years ago between Stalin and Hitler. They fled in the night going west knowing the evil they were under and figured WTF. At least today going west will give you a chance.

I get the sense you haven't watched the video, and that you don't intend to.

Yeah I’m watching the videos… of violence to the cities with casualties far removed from the Eastern hotspot. The Putin claim is that Ukraine is not a nation. That is bullshit.
