MDC 7,506 Posted March 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Hawkeye21 said: How do you go about hurting Russia without it having some sort of ramifications on the citizens. Having Russian citizens turn on Putin should be part of the plan. I don't recall people worrying about that question when Trump put tariffs on China. The biggest difference with Trump's trade tariff was that it also hurt US citizens. Farmers got hammered by those tariffs and many family farms were forced to shut down. I recall a lot of people saying that it would be worth it in the long run and that farmers would basically have to take one for the team. Maybe Russian citizens are just going to have to take one for the team while we get rid of Putin. Tucker asks vague questions in bad faith to steer his audience toward a conclusion. Both sides are really struggling to find their partisan angle on the Ukraine story. The right has oddly decided to back Putin and blame America. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The point here was the far right supporting Russia, not why Russia did what it did, and the reason the far right is supporting this is because the ex-president was chummy with Putin and praised the early stages of what he's doing. Only a fringe lunatic retard would support Russia's actions here. Not even the Russians and Russian soldiers are supporting it, as indicated by mass protests and soldiers sabotaging their own equipment and surrendering. Most of the rest of the world is rallying around and supporting the Ukrainians, but we have goons in this forum who think we should turn a blind eye to it because of the summer 2020 riots, immigration issues and an Iraq invasion that happened almost two decades ago.

Pimpadeaux 2,406 Posted March 3, 2022 7 minutes ago, Hawkeye21 said: What do all of you think the main reason is for Putin to be invading Ukraine? I'm not sure I've actually heard any legitimate theories. It's eerily similar to Hitler in the 1930s. Germany was embarrassed for the World War I concessions it made. Hitler whipped up nationalism and convinced the Germans that they were on the brink of destruction and had to strike first. He demonized the Jews. The real goal was to return Germany to its former glory. What Putin is doing is right out of the autocratic playbook, only many seem to be questioning his mental stability. This guy is old-school Soviet Union. He's embarrassed over all the breaking off of all the Soviet republics, and now he's trying to bring them back one by one. Chechnya. Georgia. Ukraine. And he prolly feels he needed to do it before Ukraine tried to join NATO. I think Putin honestly believes Ukraine belongs to Russia, but he underestimated the Ukrainian determination, the world's response and the economic effects in his own country, where Russian civilians are getting arrested by the thousands during protests.
