call him out for taking away a country's freedom. We must tie Putin to the Republican party. They are going to try to blame president Biden for this war.

We need to set the narrative before the MSM joins in with the traitors.

Why not talk about the Russian stock market? I want to know what the Russian stock market is doing.

And I think most will - except die hard Trump and his cronies. It seems Trump praising Putin will turn people off. But then again enough people voted for him in 2016 despite all we knew.

they will try to blame president Biden for the war. We must constantly bash Putin and tie Trump and the Republicans to Putin.

Fucking Putin is the monster who invaded a sovereign country.

We need to push this obvious narrative because I don't trust the MSM. Do we want Andrea Mitchell to set the narrative?

You must have stayed up all night to formulate your ideas. Where is your PhD from by the way?

This is the message that the MSM will push instead putting the blame squarely on Putin.

I was told to calm down when I predicted this would happen.

We need to blame Putin for whatever happens as a result of his war, including what happens here.

The negativity of some on this site needs to stop now. We need a full on assault on Trump for his complicity not hand wringing and ducking. Why is no one asking the right for their plan?Congress needs to denounce Russia today and if any republican wants to speak up against our President they need to be censured

But I think he has miscalculated disastrously.

This is going to destabilize his own power by many magnitudes more than it damages anything about Biden's power.

And when the MAGATs see how stupid this whole plan was - which will be shown by the already hugely crashing Russian stock market, the lack of money that ordinary Russian citizens have access to and thus the price gauging and, sadly, hunger and privation - some MAGATs will fall away. Some, of course, will continue to sing putin's praises and stand by tfg forever. But some will turn away. Enough will turn away.

Yes. Your post describes what putin thinks will happen here. I think the opposite will happen, though.

(borderline ignorant) and trying to fit everything into one's own narrow perspective. Not everything revolves around the US or Trump.

The markets already priced in some of this, there will be a dip, but it's a great buying opportunity and we'll be breaking records again in a couple months.

What this does is show how brutal and evil Trump's surrogate in Russia is.
