Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2020 message to the Russian people

[Rogue Valley]

The Russian people were already familiar with Arnold because the movie Red Heat (1988) was filmed in Moscow and released in Russia.

Here Arnold speaks to the Russian people personally and tells them that the Putin government is lying about the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2020.

I think you have the wrong year there.

While Arnold is undoubtedly a fascinating individual, and a fairly decent one from everything I’ve heard, is there a reason you want to talk about a speech he apparently made five years ago?

Well, logic and common sense don't seem to work on the dumbasses in Russia, so maybe a movie star's speech will work.

Gee dude, people in the U.S. still celebrate the Confederacy, who explicitly fought to defend slavery, so America has zero room to claim
anyone else is a “dumbass”.

I dunno, if I had to choose between being an American who flies a confederate flag on his F-150, and a Russian who dies so his dad can get a free microwave, I think I'd just have to pick and suffer through the first choice. What about you?

Fighting to defend slavery is exponentially worse than anything Russia’s done, actually

But I get the US has never gotten over the Russians helping bring down apartheid, to say nothing of the collapse of Jim Crow.

Fighting to defend slavery

Flying a flag on an F-150 is not "fighting."

Symbols mean things, dude, no matter how desperately you flail in hopes of avoiding that

The Confederacy killed more Americans than the Nazis did, fighting for an equally evil cause.

What does any of this have to do with Russians being morons and dying for a microwave?

Americans claiming anyone else are “morons” when they endlessly die for blatant lies and to enslave other people is comical.

The Civil War ended 160 years ago. Pretty sure nobody is "dying" for slavery anymore.

Clearly not to all those conservatives sobbing over statues honoring the Confederacy coming crashing down

I mean, why not? A reality TV show actor was what worked for American dumbasses...

A few people put the flag on their F-150s: $100.
Russians die for a microwave: death.

What do you think is dumber?

 

[multivita-man]

Easy for Arnold to say - he doesn't have to worry about accidentally falling out of a 12th-story window.

And work he did. Even got re-elected!

Americans die for lies about how freaking Iraq is a threat to “freedom”.

A bunch of Americans are about to die for lies about Iran wanting to get into a nuclear war with Israel.

When they aren’t celebrating outright slavery, that is.

Is that supposed to be “intelligent”?

 

[OlNate]

Lol... exactly.

I like you, Cosmo. I wondered if the winky face would work.

Why can't you answer the simple question I asked? Oh, I know why: because dying for a microwave is exactly how it sounds.

I answered it repeatedly. You whining because you can’t bear to face up to the fact Americans endlessly die for lies, and openly celebrate slavery…. can’t make that reality go away.

When you wrote "the US" , who did you mean? Can you name someone as an example who has "never gotten over it". Would Truman be the US president when "Russians helping bring down apartheid" occurred? Do you mean second term VP Nixon? Can you name someone.



Also, why would any American be either emotional or concerned in any way (never gotten over it) about how Russia was "helping bring down apartheid"? Name someone besides you and me who cares if Russia did that.


Also, are you saying"aparteid" figuratively, or legally as in South Africa?

I'm going with F150 and the flag, to take my son to the resale shop for a new microwave.

…..do you not know what apartheid was?

Are you unaware of the significant aid the U.S. provided to apartheid South Africa in the name of “fighting Russia”?

I answered it repeatedly.

No, you changed the subject from confederate flags to Iraq.

You whining because you can’t bear to face up to the fact Americans endlessly die for lies, and openly celebrate slavery…. can’t make that reality go away.
