At least they’ve remained consistent which is more than I can say for most of those on the Left.


But you ARE aligned with their position, right?


With agreement on this particular issue, absolutely but your side is aligned with the whole democrat party as well as the leftists parties of Europe.  They are actually in charge of how this thing progresses.  How can you back their handling of Ukraine but think everything else they do is inept or wrong?

See the difference?

They will lead us to a direct war with Russia before this is over

Man, the strategy of the Left is alive and well in this and many other threads on ARFCOM, anymore.  

Critical of election procedures or outcome and you’re immediately labeled an antigovernment insurrectionist.

Critical of NATO or the effects of sanctions against Russia and you’re immediately labeled a Russian stooge who’s also undermining American policy.


Make no mistake, their hatred is real.  These people would and will rabidly support freezing bank accounts and even the imprisonment of anyone critical of Ukraine.


These are two unrelated issues. The election WAS stolen. Destroying Russia's capacity to make war is a good thing. See how easy that was?


Unrelated?  They’re both supported by leftists and leftist governments, namely ours.

I will try to find the article from months ago.  Its thesis was that prior to all recent Russian adventurism there has been a global energy price rise that allowed them the funds to conduct those actions.
