Why aren't these neo-nazi MAGAs not getting furious at Putin for killing off people in

a country which, on the surface, looks like a white supremacist's wet-dream?

I don't expect American racists to look beyond the superficial. I don't think they can. Ukraine has a huge history of resisting fascism, and I'm confident they would see MAGAs as authoritarian fascist types. Just as bad as the madman in Russia they're fighting against today. In contrast, MAGAs aren't that educated, so I'm wondering why there isn't even a hint of disapproval from their ranks against Putin for causing so much pain and unhappiness among people that look like them?

1. '...but, they're so...Slavic...'

‘Hardly Aryan at all.’

2. They see Russia as being a place for strong white men

5. Ukrainians are showing they're made out of much tougher stuff.

Intelligent, resourceful and a warrior nation.

But, I understand what you're saying.

12. Yes. Anecdotal evidence but my rightwing MAGA relatives are posting Ukrainian flags

Partly because (I assume) they live in Michigan and have dozens of friends and family from Eastern European stock (including our mutual cousins) and partly because Zelenskyy’s machismo and good-guy-with-a-gun image has inspired them. Whatever the reason, I’m using this opportunity to unify around a democratic country and hitting “like” and posting prayer emojis right along with them. A rare moment of unity we need to embrace - we need to push the Putin wing out of the Republican Party by helping the insiders in the party.

14. It's part of a top-dog/under-dog dynamic.

Top-dogs, like Russia, are customarily brutal, but rigid and inefficient. Under-dogs, like Ukraine, are customarily efficient, creative, and more motivated. This kind of dynamic is displayed in guerrilla warfare.

3. Contrarianism.

If "libruls" are for it, they're "agin' it."

7. I've always thought that is 95% people are Republicans.

If Dems were anti-abortion, they’d be for it.

If Dems wanted to waste money on a wall, they’d be against it.

If Dems hated the “others” they’d be….. still hating the others too. They can’t help themselves.

13. That last line made me laugh ... so true

4. On Free Republic, the trolls and/or in-house Putin apologists

say that Ukraine is just a kleptocracy, shouldn't be its own country and doesn't matter at all, full of neo-nazis, Zelensky is a Soros plant, etc. I guess some of them actually believe it, but it's hard to tell. There have been increasing numbers of what appears to be actual American conservatives pushing back on the Putin fanboys, though.

6. Lindsey Graham was a total shock.

Unless his appeal to kill Putin was what Putin wanted to hear because he got a clip to prove that the USA was after him.

8. Yeah, that was a really stupid gift to Putin, but I don't think he meant it that way.

He was previously a McCain-style neocon guy who couldn't wait to get into more wars, before he turned into a Trump toady, so getting back to punching Russia/Putin again must have felt too good to resist.

9. Maybe because Putin is a fascist, too

And spent a ton of time and money buying up the media that morons watch/

10. He's killing babies. White ones too. They don't care.

It’s how we know they’re full of shit.

11. Because the view the Ukrainian's as democrats. nt
