Why do conservatives suddenly love Putin and hate America?

What happened to you guys?! A sovereign European country is being sacked by the Russians. Wtf!

I don't know of anyone liberal or conservative who likes Putin or what he is doing. Unfortunately short of destroying the entire world there isn't much anyone can do about it. Sanctions won't likely work in time to stop him and I am sure some countries will say all the right things and then continue to trade with Russia anyway. The only effective means of stopping him would be complete isolation from the rest of the world (which I would wholeheartedly support), an uprising within Russia (again I would support it but a lot of people would die) or total nuclear annihilation which would kill nearly 100 million people in the first six hours or so. As far as America goes, I love this country, not too fond of the way things are changing within the country but I accepted awhile back that I am old and my opinions on politics don't matter anymore. We now live in a nation governed by impeachment and greed for power.

I am so glad to hear that.

Because I've come across an almost overwhelming amount of crazies on here who do claim to like Putin and what he is doing. And then I've also come across people who don't like it but would support Putin anyway. It's worrying to hear. Hopefully such people are a very very small minority.

@Scribbles Overwhelming number? Is it 1 or 0?

@SW-User I've counted around 25 who do outright claim to support Putin in comparison to 3 people who claim to be conservative and don't support Putin. There are also alot of conservatives who don't say one way or the other. So it's hard to judge.

Where do you fall? Do you support Putin?
