Cu ck cu ck sure is easy to light up.
I wonder if he's read any of my posts completely?
Sorry cu ck, no time to invest right now. I'll enjoy this later.

Well look what the clueless left have wrought in the world so that people have to look for dictators to find any sense of nationalism.

Europe and NATO have been poking the bear for decades. Their policy is going to come home to roost when Putin reclaims a former state while countries like Canada are still trying to figure out which bathroom to use.

Consider this done, nobody will take on Russia especially when our politicians like Skippy & Brandon focus on carbon dioxide and pronouns.

China also has plans to take Taiwan.

Blackpowder wants a Putin type leader in Canada? Really? LMAO

We already knew how many of you live in some kind alternate universe where you would prefer an authoritarian leader who kills and jails journalists and political opponents and wants to be president for life.

That pretty much confirms how far out on the far right fringe some of you are.

You did not oppose jailing farmers for trying to sell their own wheat under an authoritarian administration

Wouldn’t say Ukraine belongs to Russia. Bone up on your history of Russian conquest. Ukrainian population was virtually 100% Ukrainian before Stalin starved 10 million of them and resettled primarily the east side with Russians. Same goes with many of the other former Soviet satellites. Great strategy in empire building and keeping your neighbours friendly or the very least unstable enough to not be a threat. As these populations are dwindling now this strategy is becoming redundant. Hence the aggression.

Seems to many forget what about the Holodomor.

Stalin the butcher, and Putin would love that rich Ukrainian farm land again.

Ukraine will not go easily this time and Putin knows it.

It's not the the 1930's anymore in the Ukraine.

How anyone could say anything good about
A self serving whack job who cares nothing
To murder potentially millions of people not to
Mention start potentially a world war all for his own
Self preservation of power and money.
Ya all the trump fans seem to like this. Why
Is that?

Seems I better nip this in the bud.
I failed to find a sarcasm emoji or flesh out an off the cuff remark.
To those who anguish assuming I was literal, I apologize.
Without study, I assume Putin is a perfectly normal head of state for that culture and nation at its time in history.
We have the luxury of looking in and down at despotic behavior past and present, but it comes with a price.
The protective window we view the world through has clouded our vision for too long how true human nature works. We cloak our self in self righteousness while eventually suffering the fate of the naïve.
We need to shape our nation toward just ideals at the same time we recognize the dangers of the world as they are and shall always be. The current Western political direction is ignoring this tenet and chasing popularity at great price.
It is not one world gentlemen, and we are a small part in it.
I respect that in a person who recognizes this truth and disdain those who decry its falsehood.

Nothing wrong with being strong but
Why arent decent smart honest all characteristics
That should be deemed necessary?
When in fact they seem to be an after thought.
Shouldn’t matter what time frame or type
Of country you represent.

Over 350 million people in USA and the only 2
Options last election were those two? Does anyone
Else think that’s totally unreal?
I guess at least there is an option in Putin’s
Control there is no alternative until he basically
Dies one way or another?

The intelligence to see all things clearly is true strength.

To derail this continuing misunderstanding, can we all agree that everything on the nightly news from our own halls of power is the antithesis of the above truths?
