Comment on US | Alaskans greet Putin with Ukrainian flags, protest ‘war criminal hanging out here’
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 23 hours agoOk I’m NGL what summoned you guys? I mean it’s pretty impressive that 8 comments from hexbear pop out of nowhere when I mention the opportunity to take out one of the world’s worst sociopaths that was a large reason behind Trump’s first success and if I had to guess, his second success. And not to mention this guy is actively leading ethnic cleansing in Ukraine, has had many of his enemies killed in specific ways to send a message, killed his only real political opponent, sucked the wealth from the entirety of the Russian people, and has caused at least 1,000,000 men to march to their deaths in the invasion of Ukraine.
And man, I’m just getting started.
Why would you people bother to defend Putin of all the options out there?

But you realize you’re defending Putin. The Thief in Chief of the Kremlin, probably the most successful Kleptocracy in history.
The guy who had apartment buildings in Russia bombed, killing 300ish Russians in 1999? Who then used it as pretext to invade Dagestan and trigger the 2nd Chechen War that killed 80,000 Chechen civilians?
Then of course, once he got presidency, he retained power to this day?
And let’s not skip over his FIRST invasion of Ukraine which he annexed and turned into Crimea?
And if we want to get to a more personal level, the fact that he humiliated his wife once he rose to prominence by spending his time with “dancers” shows what kind of person he is outside of the international arena too.
That Putin? Or do you need more?

Even pretending putin is in charge of the biggest “kleptocracy” is a fuckin joke compared to america. Jesus, you guys would really benefit from a book besides harry potter

You appeared on our Frontpage. That’s how federation works. Do you know what perfidy is?
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 23 hours ago
Perfidy?
Never heard of him. But why defend putin? Because it ended up on your front page? That seems like a really bad reason.
robotElder2@hexbear.net 22 hours ago
Perfidy, in the context of international relations, is to lure a delegation from an opposed faction under false pretenses of negotiations in order to kill them. Perfidious actors do not generally receive future delegations. Noone on hexbear particularly likes Putin but we’re not so stupid as to attribute every act or the Russian Federation to his own personal malice, nor to think that his replacement if he were killed would differ significantly in policy. If the US went through with your hairbrained plot the Russian advance would continue apace and the US would be regarded everywhere as an even less trustworthy partner than before. ‘Do not murder the negotiators’ is a pretty important rule in the ‘rules based international order’ you liberals are so proud of.

I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention, but we haven’t exactly been living in a world with ‘rules based international order’.
Also why do you keep calling me a liberal? I haven’t exactly voiced any liberal statements?
