This is truly terrible. Putin is a gangster who needs to be stopped.

@HomeHunter-in-Moscow : Why would one exclude the other? What’s wrong with you Putin-Bots? Putin will fall.

@chinazieswillstartww3253 : Really? Do you think the British Empire should re establish its old borders too? Maybe Italy has a right to reassert the Roman Empire? Tell us what right Russia has to decide what a foreign country does with its own country? Putin already owns Texas and Alabama, but you want him to be the Emperor of planet Earth like he’s Ming the Merciless? You don’t read do you? 🤦‍♂️

@warriorprincess1846 : Honest, truthful answer? . . . A free country is being invaded by a dictatorship is what’s happening. Russia wants to establish the old borders of the Iron Curtain days and Putin has been forced to drop the pretence (that no one fell for anyway) that they were in some way a, “democratic,” country since the fall of the Soviet Union, when in fact, all that really happened was a Palace Coup in which the top KGB types had to scrabble for power whilst maintaining the pretence that the country was now free. Russia has a legitimate concern about the west, assisting former Iron Curtain countries toward democracy, especially if they were to become members of the same security arrangements, but actual invasion of a sovereign country is NOT a legitimate response unless you’re a gangster and dictator. Yes, it would be scary for Russia if Ukraine joined NATO and started housing nukes on the border of Russia, but that would remain an issue between Russia and Ukraine (and the UN or NATO) should that happen. But it’s not going to, nor was it likely. Therefore, this is obviously a pretext for grabbing power. Take the Cuban Missile Crisis for example. America had the same concerns that Russia does now, to get Russia’s nukes out of the Western Hemisphere and they played hardball over that. But they didn’t INVADE Cuba and take over the country. Just ask yourself, what right does ANY country have to decide how another runs its affairs? If this goes unanswered, what sense does it make to have ANY borders at all? Italy could decide to re establish the Roman Empire with more legitimacy than Putin has to invade Ukraine! Why not have the British Empire back? Russia has NO legitimate excuses for this. But Putin doesn’t understand grown up stuff, like context, history, truth or justice. He understands power, and who’s holding it. He thinks it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission, and thinks he’ll be in a stronger position once he has control of the Ukraine. It’s up to the rest of the world to make him see why he’s wrong, or we’re all f*cked. And that’s the honest truth, regardless of what you think of your western government.

@greatspirit : You should be ashamed of yourself. You want the iron curtain back do you? Hate democracy right?

@N44-d4b : The very people who committed genocide in, “Yugoslavia,” are the same ones fighting for Putin now, son. Read a book. 🤦‍♂️

@greatspirit : I am a Conservative and you have nothing to say, but you say it loud anyway, because you’re really obsessed with trump and feel embarrassed that his BFF is trying to be Dictator of Earth and you can’t excuse it. It’s always the low IQ types that start with the, “low IQ,” stuff. Incidentally, are you a Bot?

@Power to the people : Except . . . You are missing the fundamental difference, aren’t you? Cuba remained and still remains a free independent country. Well, actually it’s a Communist DICKtatorship, but America never invaded and took over their country. THAT’S the, “difference,” genius. 🤦‍♂️ I can’t tell if you’re saying that stuff out of pure ignorance or pure Putinista propaganda? Same difference, as they say. 😋

@britvroman : Go live in Moscow? Go join the Russian army? Maybe read a book? 😆

@grumpyflareon660 : The first rule of being a Putin-Bot: Say stuff that is demonstrably false as though you really REALLY, “believe,” it. That’s what they pay them for. It’s the ones who do it for free that I worry about. Most of them are doing it from their prison cells in Moscow, hoping to get a few privileges restored and not to have to worry about what goes on in the showers for 24 hours, in return for their, “cooperation.” Sick world I’m afraid. ✌️

@aladin1126 : These trolls probably blame Winston Churchill for WWII and think that JFK mercilessly head butted a bullet. Don’t expect any reason or common sense from the Putinistas. They don’t pay them for that. Their only goal is to sew division and confusion. And, let’s face it? The idiots they pay to talk bollox on the web for Putin, aren’t exactly people with jobs or lives that deserve the name. They don’t even know what they’re being used for. Human condoms is the way I think of the Trollarazzi. 🤷‍♂️✌️

@jordanforbes2557 : You will see a lot of trolls like britvroman, taking money to troll for Putin, whilst having no clue what they’re lying about on any particular day. Presumably, if Russian troops moved in to his state of Alabama, he would have no objection and see it as unreasonable if American troops fired back after being shelled? Don’t expect any of them to make any sense, or to have answers to really basic questions, like, “What right does a foreign country have to invade another foreign country, just because they want to be free and democratic?” None of the trolls can answer that one. ✌️

@britvroman : You don’t know what I think about any given claim unless you ask. So that’s irrelevant. It’s an attempt to steal off topic, known as, “Whaddabouting,” and fails to answer the fundamental question: What right has Putin to own a country that has nothing to do with him? Ukraine is not Russia. He has as much right to run their affairs as he does to run China’s or America’s. These are the old Iron Curtain countries, and he just can’t let go of the past. He’s STILL after revenge for losing the Cold War. He’s an idiot, with an IQ about one notch above trump’s.

@bensoothsayer9764 : All countries are, “artificial,” and, “carved out,” whilst both including and excluding various ethnic groups, either intentionally or incidentally. Read a book some time and you won’t say such silly assed stuff with such confidence, as though it meant something. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

@sidsilver3222 : “Russia?,” “my ass!” They belong to the Mongol Empire. Everyone knows that. Anyone who’s read a book at least. Don’t comment on things you’re patently unqualified to comment on, son. You only embarrass yourself, for all the world to see . . .
1
@mazharamit9060 : Biden hasn’t said, “never.” He said he wasn’t sending troops at present. Big difference. At least we haven’t got trump fellating Putin and celebrating his invasion, so we can be grateful for small mercies. I don’t trust any politician, but that could have been far worse.

@gagsdoublej4254 : Jesus believes in context and appropriateness. He was very good at that stuff. Maybe you should give that some thought? God bless you 😇

@Power to the people : Then you should be rooting for China, madam. 🥴 Because Russia hasn’t got a hope. They’re all but broke, and Putin will have to start dipping into his own bank account soon, if he wants to keep this up. That’s WHY he’s doing it in the first place. A last, desperate Hail Mary. Someone needs to find out what his doctors have told him lately? Because he’s acting like he’s been given a terminal diagnosis! Remember the protests he had to violently put down last summer? How do you think he’ll cope when they’re ten times worse, because the people are starving and he can’t afford to pay his, “peace,” keepers in Moscow? This is the beginning of the END for Putin. So, if you hate America that much, you should move to, “Chiynah!” The Communists have at least got MONEY and a prayer. 😁

@Lunar_tractor : 😆

@liamwright2510 : Except, those prayers have already, “done shit,” son. They got you all cross and heated about an irrelevancy, enough to read the comment, feel some emotions, and then put them into words. The original commenter might well see that as a useful result right there? . . . 🤔

@ANYA.RIZALI : Woof.

@britvroman : And, when did America INVADE Cuba? How come Cuba is still a Communist Dictatorship? Oops! America left an independent country to run its own affairs, but wouldn’t tolerate nukes on its borders. “The fact that I have to explain this shit to you,” shows that you are merely puking out the stuff that others are putting into your mouth, rather than reading and THINKING for yourself, son. 🤦‍♂️

@jirfe : Did you literally just say, “Whaddabout?” madam? And you wonder WHY no one is taking you seriously? Putin Bots are not very bright 🤦‍♂️
1
@2-worlds-on-earth : You might be right about that . . . There are clearly plenty of Russians who want to see Putin go to jail and to set up a real democracy, and they might well help an invading force? Maybe it’s time someone just got to the nuke silos with tanks and took over the place to restore democracy?

@liamwright2510 : Give the guy five MINUTES? Presumably you don’t advocate preemptive attacks? You have to wait for the criminal to commit his crime before you arrest him. I agree that Biden could have and should have done more. I think the whole west should have gotten their United front together faster, and kicked out every last Russian business and frozen every single Russian account by now. But Putin has spent the last 20 years bribing and corrupting the west with back room business deals and now he’s counting on that to get him through this. I mean, Germany is already getting over 30% of its gas from Russia and was planning a major pipeline with them for a further 20%! That’s like FDR ordering all of America’s tanks and battleships from Hitler! Plain stupid! Are you telling me that people at top levels haven’t been bought, bribed and blackmailed into those SUICIDALLY SELF HARMING, “deals?” I just hope this becomes an opportunity for the west to disentangle itself from Putin for good! But, let’s see if Joe can at least get the other leading nations on the same side, before we see what he does? Give the guy a moment? 🤷‍♂️

@outofthebox9699 👈 Putin’s Whaddabout-Bot. Will you say the same thing when Russian troops move into Florida? 😂

@AkshayKumar-vg2pi : Read a book, son. It’s embarrassing when people think you’re an idiot, but there’s no need to speak up and prove it, son. 🤦‍♂️

@gagsdoublej4254 : I believe in Jesus, which is why I don’t believe in Hell. He never mentions it except but once, and then it’s as an analogy. Most self-proclaimed Christians don’t read their Bibles. And, of those who do, they are frequently mislead by their pastors or priests, because they don’t have the historical knowledge, the historiography training, the insight or academic background to interpret what they’re reading. Hell is not real and the there’s no red guy with a pitchfork waiting to torment sinners for eternity. These are inventions of an ignorant church, who is embarrassed by its own history and teachings and constantly seeking gradual ways to bring it closer to the truth, against the resistance of its own believers. In the same way that, “Schools are not places for smart people,” churches are not a place for true believing Christians. In your heart, you know I’m right.

Where are the Putin fans now? He said he had no intention of doing this, literally while he was doing it! Where are the trump fans who were such fans of their friendship? Do those same people believe Britain has the right to establish its historic borders and take back the empire? Why not make China part of Australia? If that sounds mad to you, tell me what right Putin has to seize free independent democracies?
1
Where are all the Putin fans who said he was not lying when he said he didn’t intend to invade? Where are all the trump fans who loved their friendship? Are we LEARNING yet? Maybe those same people believe that China should belong to Australia? Or that Britain’s Empire should re-establish it’s old borders? What right does Putin have to own the iron curtain countries?
