They are not the only ones.Does anyone else notice the irony of how Russia (AKA
"The Soviet Union") made it a policy to back "wars of national liberation", meaning the rebellion of subjugated countries against their Colonial (and Imperial) masters? Kind of like a formerly subjugated state like Ukraine, that was conquered by an a monarchial empire (Czarist Russia) and brutally oppressed by the USSR after the communists overthrew the Czar?
Now Russia is using brute force to subjugate Ukraine again, lest it succeed in prospering as an independent country. An independent country that has close economic ties to Russia. Kind of like Britain invading Canada because it is acting too independently!

The irony is Putin using Nazi reasoning and tactics to protect his people from "Nazis" in the UkraineThey are not the only ones.
Not that I support Russia's invasion, but a lot of countries, including the USA, have done this.
Also, it isn't irony as much as it is hypocrisy.

Putin should wear a pine box.Putin should wear the sunglasses Biden gave him, whilst wearing a FJB shirt.
That's fine.Putin should wear a pine box.
Quotes from Senator Paul:
"If you can't agree to that [what disinformation is--e.g. the Steele dossier], how are we ever going to come to an agreement on what [disinformation is] so that you can police it on social media?"
"I think you've got no idea what disinformation is."
"Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government."
Unconfirmed reports that Russian Grigorovich-class frigate Admiral Makarov on fire near Zmiiny island, south of Odesa after being hit by Ukrainian Neptune anti ship missile.
I watched a bbc news show (or maybe sky news can't remember) on Ukraine and they said a huge portion of Ukraine's economy (exports I guess) depends on shipping. They said Russia has blockaded all shipping for them. So it sounds like they need to get on the stick and sink all those ship so they can get their economy back.Unconfirmed reports that Russian Grigorovich-class frigate Admiral Makarov on fire near Zmiiny island, south of Odesa after being hit by Ukrainian Neptune anti ship missile.
Yep, shipping is huge for any country's ability to compete on the world market. Ukraine has a relatively small coastline and there only one way out of the Black Sea to the rest of the world's oceans. Land or Air is the only way to move goods for Ukraine today.I watched a bbc news show (or maybe sky news can't remember) on Ukraine and they said a huge portion of Ukraine's economy (exports I guess) depends on shipping.

Can't have a war without a Ministry of Truth to push your propaganda.Yup.....but thanks to Brandon we now have a new, "Ministry of Truth". Not to mention, that they are funded with taxpayer's dollars.
FJB.
