    Putin is a fascist . It has nothing to do with Ukraine. I thought this 20 years ago too because he is a textbook fascist i.e. there is no separation of private/corporate enterprise and the state, he’s an authoritarian nationalist who installed a single‑party state, he brutally suppresses dissent and is overtly militaristic. He might pine for Soviet times but in reality he is just in it for himself. Another pathetic ego maniac of which we have many all over the world these days.

        Of course… I totally forgot about all the other parties that have been in power since the fall of the USSR. My bad

          I wish I could be as free as you and just change what words mean any time you get called out for lying with them

            We all know the other parties are only allowed exist as long as they don’t threaten daddy Putin. Don’t be so gullible

              Oh okay so after a hypothetical conflict you believe that’s how things would settle therefore you get to say the current situation has the attributes of your forecasting.

              I didn’t know there was a whole convoluted series of logical steps you were withholding from us.

              It’s good that we don’t get bogged down with how things actually are. The function of politics is not affected there being multiple parties at all so it’s important to angrily shout down anyone who mentions them. The ultimate power holding single person government keeps them around for fun.

              Daddy Putin

              It always takes you guys 0.05 seconds to start acting like a weird gross freak towards people who don’t share your insane nationalist worldview. Is it any wonder liberalism as an ideology is dying? You people are unlikeable creeps.

                I’m about as far from nationalist as you can get unlike Putin and Trump. You guys have one insult and you use it for everything lol
