@edogawakonan8930 : Are you a Putin Bot?

@vw5056 : Putin’s regime needs to surrender to the Russian people. If they ever have a free, democratic vote, Putin would be out and in jail and the Russian people would get their stolen Trillions back. None of the people of Russia wants this war, Putin-Bot.

@lucasramirez9841 : That’s a fair point. But if you believe that, you cannot deny that anyone who got caught doing these covert missions to destabilise rival nations was prosecuted and jailed for it. It’s still considered criminal in the west. In the still, “Soviet,” Russia it’s a way of life. If you’re not a criminal then you’re broke, murdered or in jail. And I can type the words, “Boris Johnson and Joe Biden,” are corrupt and useless without expecting the secret police to show up in the night, or to lose my job and to get locked up on some trumped up charges, just because I said I don’t like our leaders out loud. Pretty big difference. You should appreciate it more?

Divine Soul : Jesus was an ethnic Palestinian and an Aramaic speaking Jew, and I personally love him. My feelings on faith are complex. But as you intimated, the issue is NOT about whether people have faith. The same people who shit all over Christianity would be terrified of being, “cancelled,” if they talked to Jews or Muslims in the same way, and their hypocrisy is palpable. But, I like to think that the guys and gals DYING on the Ukrainian front lines as we speak, probably DON’T ask the wounded whether they have the same belief system before they’re willing to stretcher them out of there? One person expresses their assent by saying, “Amen,” which in America, is as common as saying, “Hell Yeah!” from people who both do and don’t believe in a god, and someone always has to crawl out of the fulminations of their psychobabble echo chamber to make the discussion all about them!? That pisses me off. The vanity, selfishness and sheer ego of the Born Again Atheist is as oppressive and cruel as any cleric with a kalashnikov rifle! People need to get over themselves and focus on the issue in hand, rather than dividing the unity levels even more, just for their own ego trip. ✌️

@CorryGal : Not in either army. Hard to tell if people are being sincere these days. Putinista propagandists have killed irony. If you’re a Ukrainian, and you meant what you said, I wish you well. But, I don;t think you should be asking the world to risk their lives for you?

@Jagonath : Putin is making a mistake. His soldiers don’t have the will to kill their own people, which is what Putin has been constantly telling them they are for the past forever. One man or woman, defending his or her home, is worth 20 hardened tw@s in the field. People of Moscow, rise up and depose your Dictatorship.

@BillySBC : It seems Putin has spent extra cash on bribing German politicians? Getting so much of Europes fossil fuels from Russia is as suicidally dumb as Winston Churchill ordering his tanks and aircraft from Hitler! Every right wing politician from Denmark to the Delaware River has financial ties to the Kremlin now. That’s what happens when a Russian KGB goon with more connections to the Russian Mafia than he has to the Russian government takes over the country from a sleep walking drunk. The Russian people could make themselves RICH if they overthrow Putin and get all their stolen money back.

@zaxo96 : Well, they don’t have trump to occupy their time and they can’t count on America anymore, so it’s never going to be a better moment for Putin to become Emperor of Planet Earth. So all of his propaganda droids are focussed on messaging for that now. I can’t imagine any decent, thinking adult would fall for it though?
1
@vw5056 : How would you know? Work for the Kremlin do you? Even his top cabinet members literally tremble when they have to speak one at a time in his TV special, “meeting,” terrified they might fluff a line on the auto cue! Putin will START with all the Iron Curtain countries and stop when the world MAKES HIM stop. He’s INSANE! Like Stalin was insane! And just as dangerous.
1
@zaxo96 : I’m not even convinced that VW is a human being. The web is being flooded with Putin Bots, only half of which are humans; usually the ones who write with terrible grammar. If they dropped a bomb on the troll farms in St Petersburg, we’d see a 50% drop in worldwide internet traffic!
1
@vw5056 : Stop making things up and read a book. 🥴 Cold War agreements expired with the USSR, son. 🤦‍♂️😂
1
@vw5056 : Speaking of, “brainwashed,” is it just a, “coincidence,” that the only countries Putin gets along with are ALL Dictatorships in which Putin has military bases and fossil fuel interests? You act like the west wanting to offer democracy to other countries is a, “bad thing,” because you grew up under the Communist and then the Mafia dictatorships of Russia and don’t even KNOW what it’s like to be free. Huh, “smart guy.” 🤣

@franceleeparis37 : And if you actually, “believed,” what you just said, you wouldn’t be hiding behind the assigned name your shell company paymasters gave you, when you signed up for 10 Rubles a pop. And you would be dumber than you sound. 😋
1
@rimrunz1795 : Are you talking about Russia’s, “assistance during WWII,” there, son? If so, are you talking about when you were fighting with and for the Nazis? Or after you switched sides and fought with the allies, because Stalin realised he’d committed yet another blunder that would cost literally millions of Russian lives? Yeah, you’re right. There isn’t space for that kind of, “list,” on YouTube, but Russia’s war record is hardly anything to crow about. Stalin was already stealing money and secrets from his, “allies,” before the war was even over, son! Putin and Stalin have a lot in common though. They both lie all the time and make hopeless strategic blunders that the little people pay for. Let’s just hope he checks out like Stalin did? Quietly, in a puddle of his own urine and vomit, while all the doctors were too scared to treat him in case he died and they got blamed for it, so he’s left with a bunch of clowns arguing for power over his carcass before he’s even choked out his last breath? That’d be nice 😉

You’re so right it hurts. Even the Russian people are against it, and feel like it’s a, “private war,” being fought for reasons that have nothing to do with them. We think we’re going to take a financial hit in the coming months for this? Russians will wind up starving and cuing for miles for a loaf of bread, like back in the Cold War days. Putin’s a power mad insaniac! Someone should find out what his health status is? He’s acting like his doctor has given him a year to live!

@AK-dd9od : “Whaddabout?! Whaddabout!? Whaddabout!???!!!” 🤪 . . . 🤦‍♂️
1
@ElizabethGlasby : Like that’s even relevant!? Innocent people are dying in their living rooms whilst the bombs drop from a KGB DICKtator and sovereign nations are threatened throughout the west, but YOU think it’s more important to impress your Born Again Atheism on some poor schmuck just for saying, “Amen,” when that didn’t even mean s/he was a believer in the first place??? The sheer self absorbed EGO of some people is astonishing! This is what’s wrong with the world and how the internet made it so! It’s NOT about YOU, madam! Are you not content to have theists and atheists on the same side? Go to a God channel if you want to talk theology? 🤦‍♂️ . . . SMH

@aleksamarkovic007 : “Oh, mommy! He’s doing an aggression on me! I’m going to start world war 3 because the nasty man did an aggression! 🤤” . . . 🥴
1
@insaneyoohoo : That’s because half of them are paid Putinistas, working from St Petersburg and the rest are Bots, programmed in St Petersburg. The very same traffic that was once only there to troll for trump is now redirected into Whaddabouting for Putin’s pathetic war excuses.

@shrimppasta5544 : Where in the Bible (or any other major scripture) does it say that there won’t be suffering? Why do you people always think it’s God’s job to stop pain and death, when he built you all to die some day? The Bible constantly, repeatedly tells you that you will SUFFER AND THEN DIE, but somehow atheists always turn it into a buyer’s remorse argument??? Maybe read it before shitting on it? 🤦‍♂️
1
@aleksamarkovic007 : Just because I destroyed your talking points, there’s no need to melt into a puddle of hurt, “emotions,” kiddo. 🥴 See a proctologist if you’re feeling, “butt hurt?” 🤷‍♂️ Grownups are talking. 😉😋

@lucasramirez9841 : If only that document was shown a little more respect and lived up to a little better, huh? ✌️
1
@cliffa2901 : You forgot to say, “Whaddabout,” when you were making up your Putin-Bot lies. What am I saying? “Making up”??? That would imply that you were, “thinking,” whereas you’re obviously an algorithm or the human equivalent. 🙄
1
@rhondat2584 : Even if Russia’s propaganda lies were true, what difference does it make? It’s called, “Whaddabouting,” and it’s the same lame, “technique,” of, “argument,” they employed when backing trump was their full time occupation. Putin is a threat to the world on multiple fronts, but, “intellectual,” is not one of them. They routinely use talking points that do their argument more harm than good. Another popular one I’ve seen is, “Well, America didn’t allow Russia to put nukes in Cuba, remember?” So, when I remind them that America never INVADED Cuba, which remains a communist dictatorship, 30 miles off the coast of Florida to this day, they have nothing to say. Putin’s parrots are intellectually bankrupt. I think the real pressure should be directed at the Russian people to rise up and depose Putin before they all wind up starving as a result of sanctions and of him squandering what’s left of their wealth on a war they don’t want. The people of Russia could make themselves noticeably better off by reclaiming all of their stolen trillions!
1
@cliffa2901 : Remember the Cuban Missile crisis? Read about it in history, maybe? Ask yourself: How is it that The USA never invaded Cuba? To this day they remain a Commie dictatorship, 30 miles off the Florida coast! But even America couldn’t dream up an excuse to invade Cuba and still keep up the pretence of being a democratic country. What’s your excuse for Putin? That Ukraine, “might,” join the UN, one day??? That even if they did, this might lead them to house America’s nukes? Can you SMELL THE HYPOCRISY??? Go join the Russian Army if you’re that convinced? . . . SMH
1
@cliffa2901 : In other words, my truth trumps your lies and you have no answer. Well, at least you’re not afraid to get shot down in front of the whole planet, so that’s something. I remember how you used to troll for trump and I’m not surprised to see you trolling for Putin. The money was coming from the same place on both occasions. But you might as well have written, “I can’t think of any argument to justify my hypocrisy and I only do this work because my life didn’t work out the way I planned.” 😉
1
@773-o2n : Everything justifying Putin’s war IS, “propaganda.” You can’t say just because a country has legit concerns that justifies WAR? Ukraine are NOT in the UN or the European Union! They have NO American nukes! Concerns over what, “might,” happen in the future, “maybe,” are no more an excuse than Britain has to re establish the British Empire, or Italy has to restart the Roman Empire! Otherwise America would have invaded Cuba back in the 1960’s when the Russians tried to park their nukes off the Florida coast! What’s Putin’s REAL objective here? Ask yourself THAT? Rather than wasting your energy on the hypotheticals that he wants you to be mislead by.
1
@cliffa2901 : Still got nothing? But, I thought you didn’t want to talk to me? Funny way of showing it? Are you one of those people who says, “come here,” while shoving someone away? One of those, “We love freedom,” types, who wants to ban free speech? One of those, “No, we’re not planning on invading Ukraine,” people, who says that on the same day he invades Ukraine? And you wonder WHY no one takes your type seriously, son? . . . 🤦‍♂️
1
@CorryGal : Are you being sarcastic? Are you in the Russian army?
1
@cliffa2901 : You’re, “taking me seriously,” enough to be all emotional about it, whilst failing to make any point that supports your Putin propaganda. So, that’s fine by me. At least you’re not annoying someone who might feel an emotion other than the mild amusement I feel, while you’re wasting your life on far right, “ideology,” and wishing you had a squeaky uniform to don. Got anything to say about the news? Or are you still waiting for the next set of talking points to be emailed by your paymasters who swear, “honestly,” that they are not in St Petersburg . . . 😂
1
@cliffa2901 : I dismantled that, “argument,” son. Still waiting for a rebuttal? What is Putin’s excuse, er, I mean, “reason,” for invading a sovereign nation again? Something they might do in the future? Will he invade Turkey for the same reasons then? Greece? Paris? Washington? Oh wait, he got kicked out of Washington with Donny, didn’t he? Even America NEVER INVADED Cuba, so you can’t go calling America the, “bad guy.” You, “stand by,” your paymasters, kid. You have no, “argument,” to speak of. . . . SMH 🤦‍♂️

@CorryGal : I am urging my government to do exactly that, and to suspend Russia from the Security Council, kick out all of Russia’s diplomats and ALL of their oligarchs, to freeze ALL of their assets in every bank, and to pay off any losses to the western business interests from the SWIFT payment system, which they should have locked Russia out of yesterday! Stingers, drones, rifles and ammo are a no brainer and they should be piling up everything they need at their door. I have written to my local and national representatives to urge all of this and more. But I cannot personally drop my responsibilities to my family and bring supplies to your country, for which I would get arrested for transporting anyway, so that would be even less use to the Ukraine. Plus, I would be just as likely to meet Russians at the border as I would Ukrainians, so such a suggestion is beyond impracticable. I am urging my friends and family to write to the government, demanding the same things as I. I wish Ukraine 100% victory over Putin’s forces, and I hope the Russian people, who don’t want this war any more than Ukraine does, will rise up to put pressure on Putin’s rear and force him to think twice, if not go home. I have urged my leaders to urge the Russian people to have mass protests like they did last year. Putin called on the Ukrainians to betray their leaders, so it’s only fair that the west does the same, and reminds them that the reason they are about to starve and cue for miles for a loaf of bread, is all on their glorious DICKtator, so I am with you, in so far as I can be. ✌️

@773-o2n : What are you talking about? “The west,” (by which I presume you mean, “America,” and/or NATO countries?) has never made ANY secret of wishing to expand! We WANT ALL COUNTRIES OF EARTH to be FREE and DEMOCRATIC! We want countries to have the RIGHT to choose their own leaders and to boot them out again when they’re dissatisfied! That’s not some, “dark,” or, “hidden,” agenda, son!? It’s called FREEDOM. You don’t accuse your doctor of being up to something when s/he tries to cure you, do you? Why are you even trying to make this about the west as though their support for Ukraine’s democracy is supposed to be, “hidden,” in some way? Putin has legit concerns about the west letting Ukraine into their security council and parking their nukes off his border, but that was NEVER going to happen, and ISN’T going to happen now! Not even if the Russian people overthrow Putin and have an election! You can’t act like the west is the bad guy for saying they support democracies and wish that all countries on the Earth were free to choose their own leaders? Nor can you criticise them for working for that? To treat the desire for democracy with suspicion and to call THAT, “propaganda,” is to fall for the Putinista propaganda, which trains all people to treat anything that smacks of individualism or personal freedom with suspicion and distrust. And he does that because he KNOWS he would NOT SURVIVE in a free and fair democracy. The majority of Russians tolerate their dictatorship, but they don’t kid themselves that they have a democracy. You want to live like that? In a country where you have to be, “careful,” about what you say, and whom you say it to? Where you might write something funny about your leader on the internet that gets a thousand likes and the next day you walk into work to find you’ve been fired and the cops are waiting to give you three nights in jail on trumped up child molestation charges? That’s RT! Russia Today is already automatically jailing people who are protesting Putin’s invasion. And people like you, who think there’s, “two sides to this,” INVASION are making people like Putin possible. Be honest? Are you REALLY for Zelensky’s democracy?

@rhondat2584 : I watched his chief of security, trembling visibly, as he urged Putin to, “accept a deal with Ukraine,” and intimating that Putin should withdraw his troops. He was reduced to repeating himself and stammering as it was obvious that Putin did not want to hear this, but he stood by his position and, while he wasn’t willing to tell Putin what he was doing was wrong, that’s what the world saw. I was riveted by that scene, fascinated by the sheer, raw courage of that man (who’s name I cannot remember now) to speak up at all, on live national TV, when everyone else was sat around in that giant semicircle like they were in a 1960’s Bond movie, sticking to their script and probably an autocue. I genuinely half expected the flaw to open up and the guy to drop into a flaming pit! The look on Putin’s face told me, within a year, that guy will be in jail or the morgue. Maybe he, like so many of these people, has family in Ukraine? Or, maybe he just thought he ought to offer Putin an, “out?” I can’t kid myself that he rose to head of security under Putin’s dictatorship by being a, “moral,” man. But, a complex and fascinating one, for sure. He’s the guy that the west should be reaching out to. The guy who’s shelf life has just expired, but who might be able to render the west some great assistance before he’s done for? If they can get around the double watch that must be on him now? Maybe he can defect to the west in return for security plans of this invasion, and of the Kremlin? . . . That was the most . . . “entertaining,” television I’ve seen in decades. ✌️

@rhondat2584 : Sergei Naryshkin is his name. Chief of foreign spies. Their equivalent of the CIA boss or Head of MI6. Don’t recall what they call that in Australia? But he’s the guy who tried to express reservations and suggest that Putin should leave it where it stands. He’s on the Siberia list now.

It’s almost as though war was humanity’s natural state?

If sanctions hadn’t been so slow in coming Russia wouldn’t be bombing Kyiv right now and occupying half of Ukraine. This is only happening because no one did a god damned thing about it when they invaded the Crimea. And because Russia has spent trillions on embedding its spies in every European Capitol and on buying up every major business and bribing every major right wing politician in the west that’s for sale, which is just about all of them!
