Republicans and their Russian Masters

You got me! How will I ever recover from such a clever retort!?!

Maybe I’ll go the route of the angry little man approach masterfully enacted by our boy Dj?

Probably not.

See you are a nobody. No one cares what you say or think.

Again this isn’t that serious.

By the way…LET’S GO BRANDON!

Finally, an admission. I’ll take it.

Good. Glad you are happy.

But give it time, you’ll be back to your angery tirades because someone challenges your identity…i mean belief system.

GO BIG RED!!!

The triumvirate: Russians, Chinese, and American Conservatives.

It’s making it pretty easy…Pro Trump = Pro Putin and Anti America/Anti-Nato/Anti- American allies. Can’t be more clear

Lmfao

Traitors, every last one of them.

The Triumvirate!!!

Is Tulsi Gabbard in on the conspiracy then?

She says there are US-funded biolabs in Ukraine while Mitt Romeny calls her a traitor?

If I’m picking sides I’d rather be on team Tulsi than team Mitt.

Gabbard is far more than a conspiracist, I believe she’s a paid Russian agent. She’s been the voice of Putin after Rohrabacher retired, who literally had a Russian handle given to him by his comrades in Russia.

You siding with Gabbard is no revelation. It merely shows the run of the mill conservative sympathizes with Putin and Trump more than their own country or allies. We’ve been saying that over and over again and you guys have been confirming it with each post.

You can be against Putin and also wanting truth.

If America is funding biolabs around the world, shouldn’t we investigate that and make sure we aren’t dishonest individuals who lack integrity?

In 2003, if you questioned Powell and Bush about WMD would that make you a Saddam sympathizer?

This idea that we are either 100% one thing or 100% the other reeks of a lack of integrity.

If Tulsi is a Russian agent, then go through her thread item by item and call her out? It is easy to just throw out someone is a foreign agent, or a peddler of misinformation. But prove it. Show us Tulsi who paused her campaign to continue serve her country?

With all that said…Warden and DJ do you think America should militarily involve itself in Ukraine?

This guy is basically Joe McCarthy.

  1. You can be for Putin and not want the truth. You can be against Putin and want the truth. You can also be against Putin and not want the truth.

  2. Sure, but in the middle of a Russian invasion? Where were you prior to the invasion? Timing is poor for this to be a concern now. Were the biolabs illegal? If so, why? How can Americans not be united against Russia or more specifically Putin.

  3. I questioned their integrity, yes. Definstely not a Saddam supporter, but did despise US angst against Muslims afterwords and until this day.

  4. Agree

  5. Wood Smash!!! I’ll let Warden handle his response, but thank goodness she isnt in office anywhere.

  6. I’ve never agreed with a war in my life. I’m so appalled by Russia with this take that it might make me change my mind. I’d need to know how fast we could take them out and what our assessment of damages would look like. Is there any ability to wipe them clean off the map unscathed?

I hate this for Russians generally.

Our pettiness aside lately…I agree with this.

The response by America toward Russians (not sure about the rest of world’s response) is disgusting and shows how - generally speaking - our views are dictated by a collectivist mindset. Russians citizens should not be discriminated against due to the immoral actions of their leader (no different how many Americans wrongly discriminated against muslims after 9/11).

Point of clarification. I’m not sure the citizens are discriminated against. Most understand the Putin is a lunatic running wild, I hope anyway. The whole nutty Candace Owens piece is just bazaar.

I hate it for them as they are suffering and will suffer the most as these sanctions strangle them to death. I hate it for them as their ability to stand up against tyranny in their own system does not exist. I hate it for them as there is no real way out, sans packing bags and escaping.

We are seeing Russian citizens being banned from competitions, performances, etc.

FIFA, for stance, has removed the Russian team from the video game. Silly example sure, but speaks volumes of the collectivist mindset to stand in solidarity against Russia even though failing to recognize Russians are not the Russian government.

Ah, didn’t think about this good point.

I’m OK with these tactics tho. Hopefully they spread the word back home and overthrow Putin.

Just saw another example where “the Mustard Museum” in Wisconsin removed its Russian Mustard display (reads like a terrible SNL skit) and put up a sign in front of the display saying the mustard will return once Russia stops the invasion of Ukraine:

There’s also the canceling of Alexander Malofeev (20-year old piano prodigy) from performing with the Montreal symphony.

I don’t mind holding citizens responsible for their government. We are not talking about jailing Russians, we’re talking about allowing them to participate in the international community. Why should Russians be allowed to participate when their government ignores international norms?

Yes, it sucks for them, and there will be cases that are unfair. But it’s a form of putting pressure on the citizens to then put pressure on the government. Ukrainian civilians being bombed isn’t fair either.

You can, however, you’re not making inquiring statements. You’re lending your endorsement to one over the other, the one with little to no validation outside of the endorsement of the common conspiracy theorists that also believe things like JFK jr is alive and his father is still secretly President. While trying to play outside of the fray, you’ve levied your endorsement clearly.

Nope, evidence was clear at the time. The Yellow Cake was a fraud and was openly disputed after its investigation. There was zero evidence linking Saddam and Al Queda, along with the fact that they were diametrically opposed to one another. There was a myriad of evidence showing Iraq had nothing to do with it.

In this case, little evidence and the ones purporting it are also the ones making pushing the other conspiracy narratives, most of which are outlandish.

As far as Tulsi being a Russian agent, I don’t think going through a Twitter feed is going to prove that. Further, you conservative overtly do not care and openly support your ilk working with Russians. I mean, let’s lay it out, yeah?

2 GOP Operatives (Jesse Benton - former campaign manager for Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, then worked for Trump super PAC Great America PAC / and Doug Wead (WH advisor during Bush and worked for Ron Paul) accepted $100,000 from an unidentified Russian foreign national for getting the person a meeting with Trump in 2016. Then, they funneled money into the campaign. Benton was pardoned by Trump on charges tied to hiding bribes in 2012, but this is a new one.

Igore Fruman, soviet born operative and associate of Rudy Giuliani pleaded guilty to funneling political contributions from foreign nationals to pro-Trump PAC America First Action.

David Correia, charged with illegal foreign straw donor scheme in funneling $325,000 from Russian national Andrei Muraviev through shell companies to America First Action

Republican lobbyist Sam Patten pleaded guilty to funneling foreign money to Trump’s inaugural committee from oligarch Konstantin Kilimnik

California financier and Trump inaugural donor Imaad Zuberi sentented to 12 years in prison for pleading guilty to violating the FARA and making illegal contributions after failing to register as a foreign agent

George Nader - to both Clinton and Trump

Gilbert Chagoury, illegal straw donor campaign to funnel money into US elections, longtime spokesman Mark Corallo was Trump’s legal team spokesman and spokesperson for Trump lawyers Toensing and diGenova.

Mike Flynn admitted he worked under the table for Turkey as a foreign agent

Yuri Vanetik, national finance co-chair for the NYC Republican Party, unregistered foreign agent for Russia

Maria Butina - we all know about that one and her GOP ties and NRA ties, and GOP National Prayer Breakfast

And it just goes on and on and on….then, you have all the GOPers openly supporting Putin over our own country…

With all that said, Yes. I think we should declare a no fly zone via NATO. As for boots on the ground, once Ukraine enlisted foreign fighters, we can send all kinds of special forces in there under cover with plausible deniability. I believe 16,000 was the last I heard, but unconfirmed. This was from a guy who was one of the ones going.

Garden with one of the all time fukery comments I’ve seen.

Media didn’t dub Cawthorns comments dude, there are a ton of magas being putin apologists. THEIR WORDS, not media.
