    According to google translate, ^that's Russian for "cancel culture". Apparently Putin doesn't want his people knowing about his war crimes, how hes putting their lives at risk by shelling nuclear power plants, and how the world is giving him every opportunity to end this crisis. Undoubtedly Putin is worried because of Russia's history of revolution, already mass dissent and protest to his illegal invasion. Putin has even tasked state police to arrest protesters as they have been essentially deemed 'domestic terrorists out to threaten the collective good of the people'.

    We Americans know a lot about these tactics since our leftist powers regularly use them against us. Yet everywhere I look I see leftist gasbags drawing clown world comparisons between Republicans and these Ruskies. Of course those outside of the cult know its all B.S. We know who the American Marxists are.

    Because non violent protesters are still in jail and committing suicide after being arrested by lib prosecutors.

    Putin probably knows the world won't be satisfied unless he's surrendered to the ICC. For better or worse he's locked into this now.

    Every morning I check the news expecting to see some new alarming headline about how Putin has taken one step closer to a nuclear attack.

    Republicans, as a whole, don't seem to be the barrier to reasonable discussions about the problems we face as a nation.

    However, I honestly never would have believed anyone, and I mean every person on the free side of prison bars, would place a man-child above our Constitution and ignore the deaths of 5 police officers attacked by an angry mob incited and sent there by that same man-child.

    Trump and his cultists are our #1 threat.

    Yeah, that's fine... Russia can suspend the Social Media stuff, but here's a suspension that's probably going to be more painful, long term

    https://www.reuters.com/business/fi...ions-russia-over-ukraine-invasion-2022-03-05/

    Any one of these actions by itself isn't that significant, but taken together?? It's gonna add up....

    Do you ever make a post that doesn't round up with Trump?
    The only Trump cultist out there are the ones who regurgitate him endlessly.

    So you think 578 leftist riots that have killed dozens of Americans and destroyed billions in American businesses are justified and involving police is akin to acting like Putin.
    Yeah, we know

    I think Russia will suffer only for the time it takes China to become their pipeline for all commerce, banking, and trade. I think Russia will be just fine in the long term.

    Do you hear what you are saying? All will be good once Russia becomes totally dependent on China for ALL commerce, banking and trade. Is this going to be Putin legacy to become China's B@!T(h? Winning!

    Hey if that is your idea of winning I am not going to argue with you. I wonder if the Russian people see it that way too?

    There are no justifications for Putin's war crimes and crimes against humanity against both Ukrainians and his own people. And in the same breath, there's no justification for those who burned down public businesses and engaged in mayhem in the name of 'protests'. More disgustingly, our FBI head tried to convince us these actors don't exist.

    Russians, like our Marxist progressive citizens, live under an intellect crushing propaganda machine. It will spin them tales of a grand Russian expansion and it will be well received.

    Lol…Your definition of nonviolent is laughable.
    The ones who commit suicide must realize they are guilty of treason and sedition and feel shame for throwing their country under the bus to pander to a lying malignant narcissist.
    Why use them as a political football just to keep pandering to the orange quisling? They deserved better from trump.

    Just an hour ago, China has mirrored US firms in refusing airplane parts to Russia

    https://www.reuters.com/business/ae...ly-aircraft-parts-after-sanctions-2022-03-10/

    China will never go as far as the EU and US are going on sanctions/business refusals, but they can take tiny bites to be able to play both sides here...

    I see there being a near zero chance Russia will willingly join China as a JUNIOR partner in Dr. Evil world domination, and they'll never be the SENIOR partner...

    Economically China sees the folly of following Putin off the cliff. The Russian economy is ranked below Canada's before this all started. Putin is at a point of no return. Russia will always be a terrorist state that no one will trust.

    This is exactly it. If you become totally dependent on China to do business you are subject to their whims. What sane leader would want that for their people and what people would think that is a good idea.

    No, it's the ones who continue to support him despite all that he has said and done. Cults aren't about opposing somebody. They are about worshiping somebody.

    Russia is relatively getting it's backside handed to them in Ukraine. They have already committed all their troops and still have not prevailed. If they don't make their goals in the next few days, that campaign will be serious trouble.

    That said, I consider your platitudes towards other nations armies as unpatriotic as it gets. Note, the US does have the experience and the might to get things done. Mess with that at your peril.
