CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

He can be the biggest piece of crap in the world and still spew some truth. I don't know if that was translated correctly - he could have been talking about the soybean crops in Uzbekistan for all I know, but if it's legit, he laid it it out correctly.

Putin is one of the nastiest snakes to have ever walked this Earth. It makes me sad that some here listen to the words with bright eyes and fail to acknowledge the messenger. Hitler also advocated for a strong family unit and encouraged it through message and policy.
He is a failed despot trying to desperately leave a legacy that he has envisioned for himself. As the modern czar that will bring Russia back to the forefront of power and fear.
He is just another serpent in the garden only fools and sycophants will glorify. Might as well go ahead and espouse the views and actions of Timothy McVeigh as a simple and righteous message to foster small government and protest against government overreach.
Putin is a ****ing bonafide murderous tyrant of an oppressive regime and we have starry eyed TA members lapping at his feet. Way to stick it to the dems there OP.
The words are not new and have been spoken by many. Many here on TA itself.

Wild. Absolutely wild.
Do you have any idea who you are advocating for here? I mean, truly? Cut all the sensationalism. Do you truly understand what Putin has undertaken in the past year and a half and why? Do you think all these verified destroyed cities are CGI? Green screen? I truly wish to know how your mind works here. You fascinate me to be honest.
Genuinely curious…can a deplorable guy view things the way that people we perceive to be "good" do as well?
Do you disagree with everything he said?
Set aside your views of the guy…many here will agree with you on that…tell us your views on the commentary.

Reminds me of when I read the Una-bomber manifesto. At first I thought, man this guy nailed this. Then I had to re-center and realize he was bat S crazy and did harm to innocent people. Lesson learned.

Nope, never mentioned or even researched McVay. Was talking about the unabomber. We watched some series about him and I read his manifesto. I have yet to blow up a building or plant bombs in mailboxes. Thanks for asking though.D-Fens said:JB!98 said:

So to be clear, you thought Tim Mcvays arguments were legit. Then he committed senseless mass murder and his arguments were no longer valid after that?
Tim Mcvay become invalid and bat s crazy, not his criticism of Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Words are just words without intent and the source though. You HAVE to consider the source. It is bizarre to me how that is not obvious. Putin first and foremost is self-serving. His country is largely third world and the system of government he reigns over is just another flavor of oppression and classism. Messaging used in the political sense as this always has interpretation behind. Most of the time, it is told to you.
Do I like his words? Sure. Sounds great! But do I agree with the man who said them? Do I have to believe that what he says is in good faith? Absolutely not and I will not. His very actions contradict these very words? His regime has oppressed so many of his people and his forces are destroying his vaunted family unit ideal literally every single day. I do not believe him and neither should any westerner. I mean, my Timothy McVeigh point also holds true. Do I believe in small government and do I think the federal acted rashly and overreacted at Waco and Ruby Ridge? Yes and yes. Do we need to study McVeighs words and commentary as well? If I agree with it should I post his manifesto here on TA with the goal of glorifying that message? The answer is no. Considering the source.

This board has no concept of nuance sometimes, it's just sad.
If Putin came out and said gun ownership is a sacred right of the people to defend against the government, some of these people would say we need to get rid of the 2nd amendment ASAP because Putin somehow snuck it in there 250 years ago.
Him saying something factually true doesn't negate the many evil things he's done. And to Dies Irae's point, do we really hold the moral high ground? I love this country, believe its the best simply because of the personal freedoms and unlimited opportunities we enjoy. I want us to talk the talk and walk the walk in all aspects with no hypocrisy.

I think you have your psycho's mixed up. Ted Kaczynski was the unabomber.
I think we are talking past each other. I think the guy made some very valid points (in fact some of his points make more sense today than they did several years ago). I just did not agree with his actions beyond those points. Does that make sense?D-Fens said:JB!98 said:Nope, never mentioned or even researched McVay. Was talking about the unabomber.

Ok, sorry....same point about Ted. You thought his points were valid, then he did something bad, and his arguments were no longer valid to you.
Principles are principles....you shouldn't stop believing something is true bc someone else you don't like agrees.

Guessing Putin's wars in Chechnya, Syria, and now Ukraine has killed 1-2 million people on both sides if you count the civilian casualties. Which you should since he actively targets them.

I agree with being anti-abortion, I do not agree with blowing up abortion clinics. That is the mindset.

Also, the Chechen wars were pretty much over by the time Putin stepped into the big office. Something like 9,000 Ukrainian civilians have died since the start of the war, horrible yes, but nothing in comparison to what we have done in the Middle East

If Satan's spawn is being so critical of our current state of affairs here, do you disagree? Sorry, but you either have to agree with Putin here or you disagree with him and support the way the west has gone.
Alternately you could recognize it for the steaming pile of horsesh/t propaganda it is.

Over a year of doing research, Riccardi-Swartz learned that many of these converts had grown disillusioned with social and demographic change in the United States. In ROCOR, they felt they had found a church that has remained the same, regardless of place, time and politics. But Riccardi-Swartz also found strong strains of nativism, white nationalism and pro-authoritarianism, evidenced by strong admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Why is Putin worth listening to for you? Why highlight him? There are many here stateside that also have said everything he said here.
It's also possible to want PEACE now so no more people suffer and to want the people of the Donbas and Crimea, who were abused repeatedly by the Ukrainian regime from 2014 and even into today, to have self determination and join Russia if they want to - which is what they want.samurai_science said:I know its hard for smooth brains to understand, but its possible to agree with some of the things he says and not agree with some of his actions.

The man knows his audience in this country. The Putin fappers will be along shortly.
It is fascinating to watch the man who is responsible for much of the divide in this country lecture this country on that very divide.
Also, I am having trouble remembering what part of "family values" includes having your political enemies (meaning people that dare disagree with you) killed.
Nothing says you have to. Just like nothing says I should believe anything you post when it appears to be supported solely by your own belligerent assertions.Quote:
