That apologist label doesn't do justice. I'm a Putin fan, cheerleader, enthusiast, supporter, promoter... Lavrov too. We are lucky to have such as these in power, no matter where.

Excellent subtitle… “…because: what are you, a Putin apologist?” Exactly right. That is what people are apt to conclude if you dare utter a word against anything Ukraine.

It’s very troubling how anyone that is “pro Ukraine” can flaunt their opinion with flags, articles, signs, whatever, but to suggest that things may not be as they seem is unacceptable. I feel compelled to self-censor. Freedom of speech no longer applies to the freedom to openly speak about current political issues, but the “freedom” to use inappropriate language.

I have been saying from the start that sometimes there is no “good guy.” Also, that Ukraine is getting what the U. S. deserves, but we may have to take our own punishment next time. It seems to me that the U. S. is using Ukraine and Ukrainian people as pawns.

It is a very troubling situation. Those who support Ukraine are oblivious to what has been going on and assume that the one that the media paints as the aggressor is that one at fault. It is a complete mess. Is any of mainstream media talking about the years of attacks on people in Ukraine by their own government/military?
