    The adoration for dictators and strong arms should be frightening to anyone who values Democracy.

    Considering that the more accurate definition of TDS is slavish devotion to the defeated indicted former president it seems that a number of posters to this board are afflicted with the malady.

    Trump sanctioned Russia.

    All major world leaders have people killed. Obama had a US citizen killed. Bill Clinton was suspected of killing US citizens (not that he did).

    Zelensky has disappeared several Ukrainian citizens.
    Zelensky's regime murdered an American journalist (Bide administrationn was complicit) . Gonzalo Lira was married to a Ukrainian and living in Kharkiv. His crime? Reporting about US and Ukrainian corruption and honest war reporting.

    $113 billion sent to Ukraine and some of you want to send another #60 billion. How many more billions will be stolen by Zelensky and his generals in a war that Ukraine can't win?

    Zelensky banned 11 political parties, he's jailed major religious leaders and the presidential election has been postponed.

    Russia entered Ukraine to prevent Zelensky's cleansing of ethnic Russians.

    Putin reduced poverty in Russia from 40% to 1.5%> Zelensky instigated a war that has killed half a million people. 25% of the population has left. BlackRock will make a fortune rebuilding the country, no doubt lining the pockets of US oligarchs and politicians.


    So you guys conclude Zelensky-Biden good, Putin-Trump bas? Doesn't that strike you as overly simplistic?

    The US wanted to eventually put troops and nuclear missiles into Ukraine that could hit Moscow in 2-3 minutes (when hypersonic). How did the US feel about Cuba having nuclear missile pointed at our country (to counter US nukes in Turkey pointed at Russia)?

    I'd tell you to give it a rest and that this clear and blatant propaganda doesn't work, but looking at the board and this country, it probably is working. So I guess carry on.

    You strike me as either a Russian troll or wilfully ignorant, believing everything Tucker Carlson says. Here's the truth about Zelensky jailing religious leaders. Propaganda direct from the desk of Carlson.

    And sometimes not losing is winning. Look at Vietnam. We didn't win, and neither did the other side. But we for sure lost. The longer Ukraine holds out, the more they win. It's already been 2 years at war that the Russians were supposed to win in weeks. You'd have us give all that up now? For what? To make your orange deity, who falls to his knees in front of Putin happy? No thanks.

    Hard to say North Vietnam didn't win. "Peace with honor" was a very fleeting concept.

    Tucker Carlson has never been a do-to guy for me. I appreciate that he interviews art people and let's them talk.

    Your Snopes link was pretty simplistic. During the war I've listened to people that convey great info. Gonzalo Lira did a great job posting tweets and videos from Ukraine. In this post he presents a video from the highly respected Mark Sleboda who lives in Moscow concerning Zelensky's religious pogroms

    More Russian propaganda. Like Zelensky being part of the Nazi party, even though he's Jewish. That one died quickly.

    Want a different link with more info? Try this one. Zelensky is dealing with Russian Orthodox Priests who have been caught helping the enemy. He's dealing with it the best he can in my opinion.

    Okay, the Ukraine in three days trope has been amended to Ukraine in a few weeks. I suppose that’s progress.
