Norway...

You mean that cold frozen country that gets most of its money from oil exports, and strongly promotes socialism, while seeking to hold influence over other countries?

Can the American right just accept one criticism of Russia without trying to defend them by attacking everyone else? Put the keyboard and away and die with your Russian brethren in Ukraine, comrade.

McCarthyism from the Left - definitely worth noticing.

Sleepy Joe is old enough to remember Low Blow Joe. Interesting to see how their politics have eventually fused together.

Thank God we have a president with this much international clout. Biden is really handling this nightmare the way it should be handled. His approval ratings will take a huge leap and deservably so. The coalition internationally to defeat Putin is a wonderful thing. Joe Cool doing work.

Yes. That Norway. They are doing a good thing.

Like when Communist Vietnam liberated Cambodia from the Khmer Rouge while the rest of the world sat back and let them cannibalize a quarter of their own population.

The desperation to give Brandon credit for something, that's on display here, is very entertaining. Lol

Hating on Russia for invading Ukraine is Mcarthyism? You're literally the only person in this thread talking about communists and you keep doing it. Please look up what Mcarthyism means, your grade school failed you.

Why do you defend Russia and Putin in every thread you're in?

Vladimir Putin was the one person in his life who never said mean things about him on the internet?

Just look at EMNs signature, he tried to quote something along the lines of Muhammad Ali about the vietcong :

"No Russian ever called me deplorable!"

That's the mindset of these people. They hate America and are hated, so they embrace Putin and Russia.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving creep.

It must suck for you too see Biden succeed in putting together a coalition.

Well, it's only $1,300,000,000,000.00 Choke.....
Actually it's only about $3,000,000,000 (which is about 0.23% of the amount you cited) that the fund has invested in Russian securities. That much money isn't even a "rounding error" in terms of the total fund.

The bar got so unbelievably low under Trump, it really shouldn't surprise you. Even mediocrity compared to Trump, is a glorious thing.
With all the love Trump heaped on Putin (Still to this day!), and Trump's attempt to extort Ukraine, holding up military aid....we know this would have been an unmitigated disaster under Trump.
And we are, understandably, appreciatve that Biden has handled this so well. NATO and U.S. allies with Europe and abroad has never been higher.

Christ. You're absolutely correct. I need to not post when it's late at night and I've been hitting the bong plus watching Netflix.
Could you keep this under your hat? :(
