It's not a sincere question. Because you also read that 56% of Republicans support Ukraine and 60% of Republicans say Russia’s military power is broadly a critical threat to America, versus only 45% of Democrats.

A majority of Republicans wanted to bomb Agrabah.

The better question is, why should I change my policy positions just because the Democrats agree with me?

Generally, you shouldn't. And I don't either, as you have attacked me for many times for supposedly agreeing with Democrats on economic policies. But when I see my government being rabidly anti-Russia, I tend to think that this is the wrong position, as they are pure evil.

I am a hard nosed realist, and because of that I don't accept the delusion that democracy does not exist. Democracy might not be perfect or flawless, but your view that it is all an illusion, is total nonsense. If democracy was just an illusion, then Putin and Xi are the biggest fools on earth for not implementing that illusion in their own countries to gain all its benefits.

I think Russia had all its "benefits" in the 1990s, where oligarchs ruled the roost as they do to this day in the US and the EU. Western democracy = oligarchy. The rich, lobbyists, MNOs, NGOs rule.

Is it total nonsense? I think I have more free speech than in China. But that's because I am not important enough. Anyone who is, gets crushed. Even Hersh said that they had threatened his family and children for his reporting (but strangely enough, he also praised the US because he was able to report on My Lai freesh after Nixon's election). I guess you could say: he'd be dead in China, but to claim "freedom" as some sort of absolute is ridiculous.

Especially Ukraine, which is even less free than Europe, if that were even possible.

They support Ukraine because they oppose naked aggression

Not when it is coming from them. They do not oppose "naked aggression". They just want to advance their corrupt geopolitical interests.

they oppose threats to the US-led international order

Hah. Yes, they oppose threats to the US empire, and the rules-based order where the US makes the rules and give the orders.

The only reason for Russia to build an empire is to eventually directly challenge the United States and our allies in a war.

What a weird thing to say. Perhaps projection.The only reason for you to expand NATO is because you want to attack and destroy Russia (further).

And traditionalist? That's no excuse to wage wars of aggression and conquest.

But being named 'America' is. Panama, Grenada, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria.

There are many countries in the world with more tradition than Russia that ban LGBT rights who somehow manage to not wage wars of conquest and aggression. I don't need Russia for that.

You're telling people to side with the power that is pushing BLM and transgenderism everywhere over a country that upholds tradition.

To deal with rainbow flag bullshit or being subjugated by Russia? Bring on the faggots. I'd rather be rich and have high technology than to become poor trash like Russians living under such terrible leadership that it makes even shitholes like Portland looks like a paradise by comparison.

Some Ukrainian refugees coming to Europe actually returned to Ukraine because our cities are such shitholes.

But it is OUR country, and we will purge the evils of Leftism in our own way. We do not need Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to come conquer the United States and do it for us. And

That is not the question. Vladimir Vladimirovich is not trying to conquer your country, he's trying to re-establish dominance in his own back yard. And yes, when the regime hyperventilates about that because it supposedly opposes "wars of aggression" (despite engaging in NUMEROUS such wars itself), that is absurd.

I'm loyal to my country. I'm not loyal to my corrupt, criminal government. Anyone they support I'm immediately skeptical of. But that is not the reason I support Russia. That is because I actually looked into the matter, particularly John Mearsheimer's work. Believe it or not, and considering that you think I am a literal FSB agent, I actually supported the Maidan coup in 2014, cause I had no idea what was going on.

It doesn't mean Russia is entitled to the absolute loyalty and fealty of the American Right. Far from it.

Of course not. But you are aiding the regime and trying to destroy one of the few places where it does not hold power. Do you seriously think that a victory of a regime-controlled Ukraine over regime-opposed Russia will improve the world?
