Who still supports Russia?

[Robert W]

Because the Republicans saw the Racists leave the Democratic Party in 1968

Total fiction. The South still was dominated by Democrats as Bill Clinton proved much later.

No. Putin liberated the Russians who lived in Crimea.

Here's the key thing. Crimea was not part of the Ukrainian SSR before 1954. Before that, it was considered part of Russia in the former Soviet structure.

You see, his is where you need to educate yourself beyond the Mormon Brainwashing.

You truly are a Hugh fan of Putin.

You clearly don't understand the history.

This Ukrainian woman clearly understands the history.

Um, not really. The only reason why Clinton "won" some Southern States was because Ross Perot split the Angry White Male vote.

This Ukrainian woman clearly understands the history.

I'm not sure why she thinks the continued destruction of her country is a "good" thing.

Ukraine is going to be a basket case for decades, and all the Europeans who institgated this war won't give a tinker's dam about it after the war is over.

Hey, maybe this is your chance to get a white mail-order bride.

You truly are a Hugh fan of Putin.

Your inability to make a counter argument is duly noted.

And who the hell is "Hugh"?

Huge is the typo meaning Huge.
You had a chance to deny you are a huge fan of Putin but failed.

I think my argument speaks for itself, as does your inability to refute it.

Russia would have gone through Ukraine like crap through a goose had it not been for the USA and NATO lending a trillion dollars worth of help to Ukraine.

But as to Russia paying a heavy price, get real. Who is going to make Russia "pay a heavy price?" The USA? China? The EU?
Russia is the largest country in the world and while fairly poor for their size, they do have nukes and military out the ass.

Russia will be lucky to pay any price at all (beyond the already current sanctions). That is just the way it is. If they get Russia to pull out of what is left of Ukraine and stop the killing, folks will be happy enough.

Trump could greatly negatively impact Putin's oil revenue by sanctioning EU oil purchases as well as targeting Moscow's shadow oil fleet.

The EU who hate Russia so much are still buying all their oil (and I don't know what else) from Russia! I'm betting that Trump steps in and tries to put his foot down and offers EU a deal to buy all their energy off the USA instead.

I guess a lot will depend on how Ukraine pans out, but I bet Trump is holding that card in his hand for bargaining power.

The Trump Card.

Yep, we may yet see just how fragile Russia's economy is now since Biden's gone.

I suspect the Russian economy is banked on suffering and survival. Russians are used to doing without while Putin and his cronies have billions socked away for themselves.

1-2 years ago after a supposed hammering by Biden, Tucker went over there and found the Russians wanting for nothing and living with lower food prices than our own.

Yeah, but Putin has the pee tapes.

Probably the Epstein Files, too.

So Trump will keep posturing and doing nothing because

TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT.

Because they are ethnically Russian.

Self-determination.

So, you believe Hitler was justified in annexing the Sudetenland and Austria?

 

[JoeB131]

So, you believe Hitler was justified in annexing the Sudetenland and Austria?

Actually... yes.

The GERMANS in Austria and the Sudetenland wanted to join Germany.

Here's the untold story. Germans were the privileged class in the Habsburg Empire. Then they found themselves in either an economically unviable Austria or second-class citizens in the Sudetenland, and they just weren't having it.

The reason why Europe didn't move was that Hitler kind of had a point.

So why didn’t they just immigrate to Germany after WWI? That or the treaty of Versailles should have made their leaving a requirement.

The forced expulsion of ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe after WWII was one of the best things to ever happen to Europe.

Say what you want, but it solved a lot of problems. There was no WWIII, after all.

When oil profits get lean, so will the food.

That's not gonna be a problem for any of the producing nations. They are well positioned to supply anybody outside of the US/Eurozone orbit.
