We need to bash Putin

This sounds obvious but Trump is going to back Putin and Trump's ass kissers will also feel the obligation. We need to make Putin toxic to the average American. Call him out with all we have, no name is over the top.

Putin is an insane war monger who is murdering his neighbors. The reading Sunday in church was to love your enemy, Putin is an atheist so he didn't get that message.

Putin is murdering people to take away their freedom and make them slaves to him.

We need to do this. I do not trust the MSM to condemn Putin. Let Trump and his circle of traitors choose Putin over democracy.

Please, understand my point.

and with the not-so-subtle equating of Russian propaganda with the information the Biden administration has been giving the past two weeks (Biden's discussion of US intelligence proven true, btw).

I am sooooo over the "whataboutism." Yet quite a few here get drawn in by this not-so-subtle trolling tactic that I keep seeing. To those, I say LEARN SOME HISTORY! Putin's actions are akin to Hitler's prior to WWII. The US for all its many damning past mistakes is not akin to Putin's actions today.

Problem is, those deranged fools who admire and follow Trump, and now Putin, won't be listening.

The average American already thinks Trump was the worst thing ever to happen to the US, and Putin to Russia.

Any efforts to make Trump/Putin toxic will just be preaching to the choir.

Those who should be listening, won't be.

Try to convince someone who says 'Trump strong, Biden weak' that they have it wrong, and see how far you get.

Indeed, we need to do this, but how?

blame Putin for invading a peaceful, sovereign country. Trump and his traitors are going to try to blame president Biden for this war.

We need to bash Putin with all we have, the MSM is not our friend, we need to push the narrative of a murderous Putin.
