Vladimir Putin, has been the most stable and consistent western liberal leader. He clearly states his aims, stays the course, and has kept the current conflict relatively constrained. Meanwhile, anglosphere leaders are constantly twisting, turning, and seemingly trying to create instability on purpose. European leaders, it seems, have one element of consistency: they can always be counted on to do the wrong thing.

I don't even like Putin.

Libs forcing me to pinch the bridge of my nose and run critical support for Putin in very specific situations.

Trump: I'm walking away from negotiations, screw this

Russia escalates back into full war footing

Trump: WHAT? NO. THIS IS UNFAIR AND RUDE. You're crazy for continuing to fight the war you've been fighting for years!

cheeto-man seeing the mineral exploitation deal going up in smoke.

Crazy for DEALS! These prices are so low, we're practically GIVING them away!

Lmfao I wonder if all the maga chuds who love Putin now have to change their beliefs immediately

[-] [email protected] 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

that's not how it works. They will continue believing whatever they did before and just have another layer of rationalizations. Trump is doing 5d chess. He's doing peace through strength. He's doing kayfabe. He's saving face. Or they'll just ignore it and continue to support Trump and not even think about it. These people are unprincipled slobs and ignorant and detached from reality, they don't actually get aggrieved about anything other than the reactionary emotional thing right in front of them at that very moment

Yeah you're probably right, I'm giving them too much credit. They're cretins.

i just looked up cretin and seems it has ableist origins, which I was unaware of. I'm going to edit my comment. I always thought it just described a poor moral character, a low-life but apparently not. this fucking language man, why is every insult ableist, like every single fucking one.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

It does? I always thought it referenced like, what you said. That sucks.

Apparently “cretinism” is a physical and mental disability caused by iodine deficiency

did they love putin for actual reasons or just hate joe biden?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

Usually it's either: they're being contrarian and love him because libs have their whole russiagate thing, or they think Putin is heckin' based Christian getting rid of woke and standing against LGBT+.

they think Putin is heckin' based Christian getting rid of woke and standing against LGBT+

Unfortunately, Putin is in fact a reactionary even if his hand has been forced into opposing the US in foreign policy, so this isn't entirely that far off for them

[-] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

I know that, what I'm saying is, they like only that aspect. They think he's the final defender of Christian™ values standing against the woke hordes.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

I think they just like anti-woke tuff guys.

Orban, Putin, Trump, they have aura that a guy like DeSantis just didn’t.

According to the recent Gallup poll, there are more Republicans who like China than Russia.

I doubt Putin is that popular among the MAGA chuds in spite of what media is trying to portray.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

Eh Trump is gonna flip flop on this in a day or two anyway.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They don't have beliefs except making the groups they hate suffer. Lol at economic anxiety when you vote for a guy that added more debt to you and is fucking up basic goods prices.

He who laughs loudest clearly didn't get the joke

Drumpf is just pretending to hate Putler because he’s trying to fool us. It’s NOT GOING TO WORK!!!! We all know who the real puppet is.
