    47% of Trump voters think Putin is doing a better job than Biden. (Edit: that number was 62% just one month ago) It's not just "individuals". After all these years of the psychotic crap the Republicans have foisted upon the people, surely we all realize it's not just some "individuals", don't we? Huge swaths of them support sedition and violence. Huge swaths of them support(ed) Russia simply because Dear Leader did, too. I guess fortunately there are fewer who will still stick with that viewpoint now that even the densest GOP sycophant must realize what a murderous autocrat Putin is. Edit: Republican support for Russia as "an ally of the US" more than doubled after the idiots elected the former guy.
    Just curious, where did you get the 47% number?

      The American public is remarkably united in opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with 74 percent saying it's not justified and 76 percent expressing an unfavorable opinion of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

        what's going on here. this is the best you guys can do, blame it on Trump? come on. stop thinking politics and like Vin Diesel in triple X and think PlayStation and blow things up. it's what it's come to. how about some military strategy. it's a horrible event.

        WWI was a horrible event. yet it remade the boundaries of countries. from our current armchair quarterbacking. perhaps NATO expansion isn't such a great idea.

        the worst story I ever heard from the Ukraine during some of the worst Russian thing, was like Mao. when he starved 40 million ppl because yes men were too afraid to tell them there wasn't enough food. children in Ukraine climbed on top of stoves that didn't work, begging their mothers for food. and she had to choose between which child she could help survive.

        all wars are continuations of previous wars.

          I don't see anyone blaming this invasion on Trump-Care to specifically list who in here has blamed trump for the invasion?

              There is a 40-mile long Russian convoy headed to Kyiv. Putin and his enablers should burn in hell.

                It is tough, because when you are a small dog fighting a bear, you want to fight to stay alive, fighting enough for the bear to give up on what he thought would be an easy meal and go away, but you fear that if you fight too hard, cross a line, the that bear is going to come at you harder. I don't know what fury would have come down on Ukraine for this, but it sure would make sense to booby trap a road that could be used by a convoy. An air strike on that long line of aggression must be tempting too, if they could pull it off.

                  Russia gets booted off Twitter and anti-Biden and pro-trucker convoy posts drop about 99%.

                          I have found a couple useful resources on Twitter that I thought I would share. I don't know whether either is accurate, but at least they are more interesting and informative than the mainstream US outlets.

                          First one is DRM Journal (https://twitter.com/remilitari), who is posting a daily battle territory map of Ukraine:



                          The other is Kamil Galeev (https://twitter.com/kamilkazani), who is giving his insights into Putin's motivations. Particularly this thread from a couple days ago:

                                interesting twitter thread. I don't have any idea if any of the info available is accurate either. Or if anyone understands Putin's goals. I just hope it ends quickly.
