Russia blocks Facebook and Twitter access

It's been explained countless times, but it's a new day so I'll give it another go.

Trump does not have to be president to have a huge influence on current politics. Trumpism is half the Republican party right now, if not more. He's injected himself into local and state elections, and into the midterm elections for the U.S. Congress. He's all but officially announced he'll be running again in 2024. Aside from his election involvement, his influence and his approval are extremely important to Republican politicians. There are factions in the Republican party trying to purge those who've been viewed as disloyal to Trump. He has a huge following, a portion of which literally hang on his every word, "truth", and press release.

You're welcome to sit there and keep saying TDS and pretending Trump is not a current event, but that says more about you and your motivations than it does about the people mentioning Trump. Maybe we shouldn't talk about Ukraine either? Or the economy? What current subjects is it okay to mention? Please tell us.

 

The fact is that trump is a quisling and a traitor to my country and anytime that malignant narcissist raises his head above the parapet, we will be there to knock it back down to the sewer where it belongs.
You can call it whatever floats your boat, but we call it our civic duty.

 

Yeah, we know. Move forward brave soldier.

 

Yet it isn't the right that injects Hillary in every thread on PF, is it.
Make all the excuses you need to but there isn't a thread on PF that doesn't have yet another leftist with BBBBBut Trump in it.
Its a sickness

 

Traditional doctrine would suggest if an attacking force is maintained at least 3x stronger than a defending force then the likely resulting siege will lead to an inevitable exhaustion of supplies. As of this post the massive staging of Russian forces outside Kiev have dispersed into surrounding towns, presumably to take control of supply lines and infrastructure that Kiev, which has been heavily fortified, will need to endure. The board is seemingly set for a classic engagement that, regrettably, does not favor Ukraine at this time - outside circumstances notwithstanding.

And I would note that while the US has the experience and the might we most certainly lack the will in the places that matter.

 

As as will is concerned, read Clausewitz, On War. We are one of the few nations that have an all professional force.

 

I look at the 2+ million man invasion of our southern border. I look at the events that just occurred in Afghanistan. I look at whats playing out right in in Iran. I don't see the will to keep America secure, I see the exact opposite.

 

It's not. It's a current event. If Trump disappears from the public eye and stops making himself a current event and liberals still bring him up to the same degree, then you can say TDS.

Hillary Clinton was not the president for four years and does not inject herself in even remotely the same degree into current events like Trump does. Comparing the two in this regard is wrong.

 

The ONLY people keeping Trump relevant is the left. IN EVERY THREAD.
They can't take a breath without bbbut Trump. Trump owns more real estate in the heads of the left than anyone in history.
How can Trump disappear when the left is fawning over every word he might say?
Its a sickness and no amount of (oh, well Trump said (X) so he's still current) is going to fly.

You mean the same Hillary Clinton that has been commenting on Trump and Ukraine? The same Hillary Clinton who went on her book tour for 2 years? The same Hillary Clinton who cried about Russia Russia Russia for 3 years? And you claim she doesn't inject herself into current events?
Please

 

We really shouldn't be surprised. Look at the propaganda supplied by our resident Russians so far.

Russia has broadcast the narrative that they are simply liberating Ukrainians from an oppressive government. Russia has made itself out to be the hero.

Russians who protested against the invasion... arrested.

There should be no surprise that Russia is disabling access to social media that shows the truth.

 

Russia blocks Facebook and Twitter access

Blocking them here would likely do more good than harm for the culture.

 

On my Facebook paGE THE CLUB CALLED kNOW rUSSIA is still in operation, mostly nice photos.

 

Let’s summarize your post:
1 Putin is censoring Facebook and Twitter in Russia
2 you consider Democrats in America to be Marxists

For the life of me I don’t see how you made the link between 1 and 2 but you seem to want to make that link …

 

Well I am sure his disinformation units are not blocked.

 

It was pretty stupid to allow people to call for the deaths of others. I don’t care who you are (for the most part) calling for people’s death is just wrong.

Russia opens criminal investigation of Meta over death calls on Facebook

Russia opened a criminal case against Facebook’s parent Meta Platforms on Friday after the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for “death to the Russian invaders” in the context of the war with Ukraine.

Links, plural.

1. Putin and Progressives both rely heavily on censoring information that highlights their failures.
2. Putin and Progressives both belong to the same pseudo-intellectual cesspool of cancerous political ideologies (Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Putinism, Wokeism, Brandonism, etc) that don't work but due to in part to #1 are still so very prolific.

 

"Russia blocks Facebook and Twitter access"

cause they fear we will spread propaganda there, like they do here

 

Another perspective would be

1. Putin and Conservatives both rely heavily on spreading false information to brainwash their followers.
2. Putin and Conservatives both belong to the same pseudo-intellectual cesspool of cancerous political ideologies (Fascism, Authoritarianism, Dictatorships, White Nationalism, Racism, etc) that don't work but due to in part to #1 are still so very prolific.

 

Yup, that's a perspective alright. I mean its wrong but it is what leftists believe so you're technically correct.

 

Anybody that can look around the world today, and compare that to 3 years ago, and claim Trump was bad... blah blah blah has been seriously indoctrinated.

 

It’s actually your perspective that’s wrong but since you believe it, I guess we have to acknowledge it as a perspective. No matter how deeply flawed it is.

 

And this invoke a very interested question: who is more gullible, Russians or Republicans.
Russians have access to only one information source, the state media, so it is not surprising the majority of Russians support Putin.
Republicans have access to left and right media sources and could use a brain to evaluate which source tells the truth.
So why Republicans don't trust more than 50 judges, Attorney General William Barr, Georgia state secretary (Republican), SCOTUS, and many experts (some nominated by Trump), and believe President Trump that elections were stolen?
IMHO Republicans are more gullible.

 

Who are "our Marxist progressive citizens"?

 

Anybody that can look around the world today, and compare that to 3 years ago, and claim Trump was good... blah blah blah has been seriously indoctrinated.

 

Anyone who isn’t as extreme right (I am being as polite as I can) as @apexofpurple
He / she sees everyone else as a “Marxist”.
To paraphrase Inigo Montoya - I do not think that word means what he / she thinks it means.
