OT: World Politics

Someone should rethink that "PutinHitler" hashtag. All I see is Put in Hitler, which makes me think someone wants Hitler in charge somewhere.

That’s beyond shameful. Anyone with any self esteem would be embarrassed to say that out loud.

The only positive is that I actually expected it to be worse. At least he isn’t arguing that there’s no war in Ukraine and the whole thing is some Soros/Clinton psyop designed to get Hunter Biden more business.

This is honestly a fucking travesty. Putin truly is the second coming of Hitler to be so willing to butcher and burn down like this.

I'm genuinely embarrassed for America that it's standing by like this. I got my citizenship last year after 20 years here, and this thing makes me want to renounce it.

WTF do you expect the US to do exactly? If they get into a direct conflict with the Russians there is literally no scenario in which Putin doesn't eventually retaliate with nukes. Once that happens, we're all in the shit. Putin isn't a dotard like Trump, but he is a megalomaniac like him and he would rather push the button and annihilate the whole world than lose face. So unless or until someone in Russia frags him, the US needs to avoid a direct military confrontation with the Russians at all costs.

Russia has never really changed all that much. It was never an actual democracy and they have no history of anything but dictatorial rule, either by the Tsars, Stalin, or now Putin. Just because you can buy a Big Mac and a Coke in Moscow doesn't mean that much has changed since the Soviet era. Russia is essentially a competitive authoritarian regime in which only the veneer of freedom is maintained. Under the surface it's a dictatorship and in times of trouble the mask slips and people get reminded of the fact that they aren't and never were truly "free".

This is basically what will happen in the US about a decade from now once the Republicans get back in power. You'll still have elections every 4 years but the GOP will always win by a landslide. You'll still go to work, watch sports, and you may even protest things you don't like. But politically nothing will change. Ever.
