Ukraine was invaded and is being subjected to war crimes.

The answer to that is not being anti-war to the exclusion of common sense. Hitler was wrong and ww2 was not unjustified. Putin is wrong and ukraine has the right to defend itself.

And just because the Russians reposted some Intel docs with changes is not a reason to assume we have troops on the ground in anything but a liason capacity.

That right there is tankie think.

26. Media blackout?
Thu Apr 13, 2023, 06:20 PM
Apr 2023

The coverage is coming from hundreds of bloggers, vloggers, and international outlets.

Us media is covering the war as well, but is slower to post because they stop to try and verify stories first.

I read literally dozens of articles a day, and see videos from the front constantly. Some are even from Russian channels. Some are from us news outlets.

I really find the thought of a media blackout bizzare.

Apr 2023

When one country invades another without any provocation or justification, they are allowed to fight back, as hard as they can!

I'd love to ask all the people saying Ukraine shouldn't fight this occupation, do you think the US should have just pulled out of Hawaii when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, rather than fight back? Do you think the UK should have just surrendered to Hitler when Germany starting bombing the crap out of them night night after night? I dare them to say yes to either of those questions. If they do, I'd say, "Really?" and then stare at them and watch them squirm. Because I know they'd be lying.

Thu Apr 13, 2023, 05:34 PM

crusade, but they'll get to it. Their "anti-war" ideology is going to turn out to be the usual pro-Russia "isolationism" opposition to Ukraine currently pervasive among anti-Democratic, anti-establishment types. The usual where the Marjorie Greene and Just Us Democrats types meet.

Speaking of, checked out Glenn Greenwald, nothing specific yet, the usual pro-Russia attacks on the Biden administration for supporting the Ukraine war, and much else. To many on the anti-Democratic left he's a LW voice of truth, though, and he's been spreading his pro-Moscow propaganda to MTG's audiences also, so there's just one bridge between camps out of many.

This is all so ludicrous.

MTG is like a coked-up superball bouncing off walls, hitting every side, the floor and ceiling, taking any and every position possible to use as an attack.

I also answered back that this low level national guardsman was also an enemy of the United States.
MTG defense of this guy is that he is a white, male, christian, and anti-war. I think she's only concerned that he is white, male, and christian. In other words, a white nationalist.
And he's only anti-war as far as being against the legitimately elected Democratic President who is working to protect Europe form Russian aggression.
The problem with her is that she is more at home with a Putin style of government than the government that elected her to the House.
