Peaceful Protesters Arrested in Russia...Not a Peep From Conservatives

[Ray From Cleveland]

Pitiful. Sad and pitiful. You've got one comment, from a year and a half ago, from someone who is paid for their opinion. So what?

10 Days Ago Joe Biden Assured Ukrainian Leader Zelensky that US Would Respond "Swiftly and Decisively" to Russian Aggression -- On Friday Joe Left for Delaware | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

What a difference one week makes!

Tucker simply believes we have no business there and this all could have been prevented had Zelensky just backed off of joining the UN which they probably couldn't be part of in the first place. But you know how the left is, the only people entitled to an opinion are other leftists.

 

[Lesh]

It's all over Fox and Newsmax. We conservatives are hoping these demonstrations will aid in breaking Russian soldiers will to fight. You worthless leftist traitors crack me up...

Post slinks to it then

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Yeah, where is Hunter?

Looking for a stencil for his next 500K painting he's going to sell to anonymous donors.

The mere act of publicly opposing Putin is illegal in Putin's Russia

It’s illegal among American conservatives as well.

Post slinks to it then

Look yourself. Damn lazy-ass leftists. You clowns expect everybody to do everything for ya.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

And? Show me Hunter Biden saying he’s rooting for China to eradicate the Uyghurs.

Tucker Carlson was specifically rooting for Russia in their conflict with Ukraine. You asked. I showed you. Now you will do anything to avoid admitting that Carlson is a bad person.

No, I asked where the Republicans are taking Putin's side in this war, not what he said a year and a half ago when it wasn't even imaginable.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

It’s illegal among American conservatives as well.

Yeah? Well then Tucker, Sean and Laura are all guilty because all they did last night was berate Putin for his actions.

I know. It wasn’t imaginable that Russia would want to take Ukraine. They got Crimea and that would obviously be all they would ever want.

Dopes.

Russia wanted the same standards we live by, no hostile alliances on their border.

 

[colfax_m]

Russia doesn’t get to decide who their border states are allied to.

 

[Rogue AI]

Russia doesn’t get to decide who their border states are allied to.

But we do? Wow.

 

[colfax_m]

But we do? Wow.

No, moron. The people of Ukraine geto decide.

Did you forget about them already or do you also not give a shit about self-determination?

 

[Rogue AI]

No, moron. The people of Ukraine geto decide.

Did you forget about them already or do you also not give a shit about self-determination?

So in your mind Canada or Mexico could enter a military alliance with Russia, and that would be OK?

 

[colfax_m]

They’re not going to.

 

[Rogue AI]

They’re not going to.

That's not what I asked, nor is that guaranteed. Would you support their right to?

 

[colfax_m]

That's not what I asked, nor is that guaranteed. Would you support their right to?

I reject your question because it is an absurdity.

Why ponder such absurdities?

Maybe you should recognize why Russia has neighbors that want military alliances with their opponents and why our neighbors don’t.

Is it? You clearly do not understand history, nothing lasts forever. Including the goodwill between neighbors. Your ducking and dodging reeks of hypocrisy.

Okay, I'll answer the question.

If our country was an authoritarian dictatorship and Canada or Mexico were fledgling democracies, then I would support them allying with other democracies who respect individual rights and self determination.

Know why? Because this isn't about protecting Russia from invasion. It's about protecting Putin from being toppled by his own people.

Protests resume as Russia seeks to quash invasion critics

Protests against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine resumed in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities on Friday, even as authorities sought to push back against the spreading antiwar sentiment and project an image of strength and righteousness, following large demonstrations the day before.

MOSCOW (AP) — Protesters took to the streets in Moscow, St. Petersburg and across Russia on Friday to decry the invasion of Ukraine, even as authorities sought to suppress the spreading antiwar sentiment and project an image of strength and righteousness.

The largest demonstration erupted in St. Petersburg, where several hundred people spontaneously gathered in the city center, chanting “No to war!” as police in full riot gear detained one protester after another.

The OVD-Info rights group that tracks political arrests counted 437 detentions in 26 Russian cities, including 226 in Moscow and 130 in St. Petersburg. In Moscow, police were also detaining random people who were just passing by, according to media reports.

The rallies on Friday night appeared smaller than on Thursday, when thousands took to the streets across Russia. A total of 1,820 demonstrators were detained in 58 Russian cities on Thursday night, including 1,002 in Moscow, according to OVD-Info.

I guess when you're enaomored with the brutal dictator that invades other nations...you don't care so much about peaceful demonstrators being arrested all of the sudden. It was like 10 days ago that the conservatives styled themselves as the hero of the oppressed, champions of free speech and giving voice to the downtrodden. What happened to you guys?

You obviously support domestic violence, since I haven't seen you post anything condemning it.
