So I was curious what the freepers were thinking about Ukraine. No links or quotes

Very little, actually. What comments followed the few headlines were more of the same librul hatred, but no cheers for vlad, either.

They're still down-playing it as if people aren't dying and cities aren't being ripped apart. A few expressed fear for the safety of innocent Ukrainians, which was good. A few claimed Ukraine was always russian's outpost, anyway, so, nothing to see, here. "It will be over in a a week", kind of thing.

Surprisingly, it wasn't blamed on HRC or Obama. So, I guess that's progress??

People fighting for their freedom, their homes, and their families can be fierce opponents to an army of conscripted teenagers who are poorly trained and poorly motivated.

I wonder how Putin's American cheer squad would react to that?

Russians are incredibly loyal, but more so to each other than any political leader.

truth on the ground. Many were downplaying the scale until more knowledgeable members pointed out that artillery and missile strikes generally precede large scale troop assaults. Fortunately for us and the world FORMER President Trump's comments regarding the invasion are going to make him dead in the water in 2024 regardless of how the investigations go.

to boil yourself in bleach, or anything like that?

You lowered yourself into a vat of traitor pus. I imagine you have some hygienic concerns, right?

So I have to say this before it gets alerted on. This does not represent my opinions.

One person claims that the Russians are taking out Biden's money laundering operations. Also, Ukraine is corrupt because some Dems have business deals there.

The above two sentences are not my opinion, and is presented only for the record.

Ukraine is a puppet government put in place by Obama's
handlers.
They're as illegitimate as it gets regardless of how many
corrupt deals they've made through Hunter Biden.
Ukrainian SSR born, former U.S. Lt. Colonel, Alexander Vindman was
part of a coup attempt against President Donald Trump. So yeah,
Ukraine has been meddling in the affairs of other countries.
