Blaming all the people in a nation on the acts of a runaway government is ignorance on display. Just like how all of the Russian citizens don’t support Putin, just like all of Germany didn’t support hitler.

People nowadays seem to have very little time for nuanced thought, and it’s just easier to all-or-nothing a situation because thinking can be hard sometimes.

I’m with ya.

Most American Conservatives have no idea what Russian style policy is, or what life, even for “middle class” Russians is like.

They are passive, lazy and infantile people that just go along with whatever their peers and their media diet (Fox News, Talk Radio, Facebook, and now mass media) spoon feeds them.

The core of these people were always either racist or greedy or tolerant of racists for some other idiotic or bigoted reason.

This is what happens when you have a society of overly “soft” and spoiled people. People that have basically never experienced hardship for 2, 3 or 4 generations.

America happens to be the most powerful and most culturally dominant country right now, but this isn’t a special thing. It is human nature and America is just ahead of the curve.

Which I do feel is glossed over. Europe knew it was coming. Putin is cashing in his influence to make it one more day.

How much will it hurt Ukraine? We can only find out.

idk at this point, those data centers going out sure makes it seem like there are a lot less maga than what appeared

Yep. MAGA, non-voters, and 3rd party voters opened this door.

Yeah, trump announced he would do this many times during the election (and his first term). The american people chose this. Twice. At least there is no war in the middle east...
