    He won't like me saying this but Vladimir Putin is the most powerful man in the world, no question. He is arguably the most influential person the world has seen in the last 500 years.

    You would die for him to be your president instead of some moronic imbecile that you have in USA but alas, you claim to not be American shill. ...so which pitiful leader do you support?

    You're probably a UK citizen ...Now....but not a true Brit. I suspect you landed in from somewhere....enjoy the benefits of a civilized society and all it has to offer.....much like in the States here.....since if you talked smack where you're from....you'd in end in some rat infested jail cell.

    Interesting how you are trying to conflate how quickly the left collapsed in self doubt to terrorism with "MAGA," which never said anything like, "it is West’s fault that Russian are attacking the west." Attacking Ukraine isn't even attacking the West, that's clearly the East and always has been. From a MAGA point of view, it's simply not our fight and not part of US national interests.

    But I noticed you skipped right over the Cold War. Probably for good reason. The Russians were the good guys for you leftists then, and you likely supported the Sandinista's, Shining Path, and other revolutionary groups and opposed US aid to oppose him.

    Heh, I bet you probably favored dropping out of NATO and cutting the defense budget back then too!

    Again, how the tables have turned. It makes me wonder if you guys have genuinely held opinions or you merely mouth the talking points you're issued.

    That would come as a big surprise to the descendants of millions of dead Afghans:

    https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...0 Soviet troops were,children died in the war.

    "Over 15,000 Soviet troops were killed in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989.

    "During the war, the Soviet Army also lost hundreds of aircraft and billions worth of other military machines.

    "Around two million Afghan men, women, and children died in the war."

    Do you think Russia is closer to breaking apart today than it was two years ago?

    Putin's (alleged) approval ratings seem to imply otherwise:

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/896181/putin-approval-rating-russia/

    "In January 2024, over eight out of ten percent of Russians approved of the activities of the Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    "The popularity level was eight percentage points higher than in September 2022, when the figure declined following the announcement of a partial mobilization in the country.

    "After Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February 2022, the approval rating increased. During the COVID-19 lockdown in the spring of 2020, the figure declined."

    Heh, this sounds like it might be autobiographical!

    He can’t even talk his way back into the G7 despite his country having one of the most vast amounts of resources. I wouldn’t call that leadership.

    How is the joint UK/USA bombing going in Arab land to radical Islamic terrorist? I think Sunak and Biden doing amazing job eliminating Islamic terrorist from Arab land.

    And yea, Putin is the most powerful man! Got it!

    Here is the problem with MAGA, they think anyone who is not MAGA are lefty communist.

    Less then 5% liberals in 50s or 60s supported Russia. Less than 10 percent liberals question war on terror. Yes I am liberal but like me many liberals align with Reagan/ H Bush/ W Bush ( pre 2003 W Bush foreign policy) foreign policy. There are 5%-10% liberals who are pacifist and completely misguided when it comes to US foreign policy. But majority liberals including Barnie Sanders or Elizabeth warren’s foreign policy is more close to Reagan / H Bush. Joe Biden style may be different but his foreign policy is align with post-WW2 US foreign policy.

    Majority republican past 80 years also supported the Post-WW2 US foreign policy.

    Then came trump. now MAGA thinks Putin and Russian are better then the US and West.

    And USSR army killed two million Afghan.

    So if you want to blame anyone for atrocity. You should blame the Russian and not the West.

    Polls? Is that what Reagan win the Cold War?

    It’s pathetic to see Reagan’s republican party became “ Russian a$$ kisser”.

    You are never going to figure out anything about "MAGA" if you continue to swallow these propaganda points.

    And no, I remember the 80's and virtually no liberals aligned with Reagan on anything, let alone his Cold War policies.

    Apparently you need to get out more or lookup the term "Reagan Democrat".

    But then in alternative reality anyone who disagree with MAGA are communist.

    I said liberals. The Democratic Party was a big tent back then and it had lots of non liberal constituencies.
