Pity their nationalist leader cant support ukraine as much as he does with fellow nationalist putin.

@logros13 It was the mujahideen not taliban and they were backed not only by the US but also by pakistan, iran, saudi arabia, china and the UK. It was done to help them fight against another UN condemned invasion of a sovereign state by ussr/russia. Only a much earlier cold war version. Brezhnevs imperial communist version and 50 years later a politically polar opposite in putins fascist/nationalist version. So if the US/west is backing the UN on both occasions then i see nothing hypocritical in what jake spoke at all.

@lumpydark6173 Hes a nationalist posing as a conservative. All putin supporters at home and abroad are nationalists. Thats what putin has been promoting and supporting these past 22 years with his worldwide propaganda. They all parrot the same disinformation and lies that his media do. Modis indian channels for example. Just watch some of them on YT and you can see the same anti western bollox as putin state tv put out. A lot of that ukraine corruption was caused by pro russian yanukovych supporting oligarchs. Did you know that putin state tv has been transmitted to the ukraine border areas were the 16% ethnic russians live since he came to power. No doubt creating the political and ethnic division which caused the orange revolution and then maidan. All oblasts voted in favour in ukraines 92% 1991 independance referendum including the donbas and crimea. Did carlson mention any of this? Putin never recognised that referendum and has been trying to recreate the old USSR as a "greater russian world" ever since. So incorporating the belorussianns the greater russians and their so called "little ukranians" into a powerful faction to once again challenge western democratic civilisation. He has never feared nato like his media and supporters keep banging on about. He fears democracy.

@logros13 Firstly this was 1978. Iran and china were not like they are now. Iran was still western friendly under the shah. China back then were full on communists, unlike now, and sided with the mujahideen rebel guerillas due to disputed issues with the other communist nations involved over a war being fought in vietnam by them. Both afghanistan and Iraq was the "war on terror" after sunni islamic fundamentalists declared a terror war on western civilisation after 9/11. Iraq was not mandated for sure as terror groups are not represented at the UN. So the western coalition tried to get round that via the WMD route instead. Intervention in sunni iraq was inevitable at some point anyway as thats were al queda and eventually IS where being hosted. Worldwide terrorism was on the rise. Afghanistan did have a UN mandate tho. That "war on terror" has now been won as no major terror attacks on the west since afghan. Obama said it would take 20 years to win it. So there is a big diference between modern day stateless terrorism being handed weapons as opposed to aiding rebel guerillas fighting for a cause in their homeland. Same as national security and the protection of its civilians has to be assured. Just as putin did to chechyan rebels after beslan and other terror attacks. So not hypocritical by jake at all.

@user23867 You cant dismiss it as just domestic political partisanship if that politics is more nationalist based as opposed to the more traditional conservative viewpoint. There is a reason carlson is trending on full blown nationalist putin media. Simply put this war is between democracy and imperial nationalism/fascism. You take sides. I take ukraines. Carlson says russia. ???? wtf or it tellls me hes just another nationalist troll. Plenty out there.
