There comes a point when you have to ask what type of mayhem you want. Do you want mayhem that destroys itself like what the communists did which setup Ukraine today, or do you want mayhem that refines itself like what the Cossack thieves do?Turns out I get the mayhem either way, doesn't it?
And rooting for communism over democracy, they'll side with anyone over Biden. BDS...Wow. The most popular Republican pundit is now openly rooting for America's enemies.
Fling amazing!
I want the mayhem kinda mayhem. Which seems to be on the menu.There comes a point when you have to ask what type of mayhem you want. Do you want mayhem that destroys itself like what the communists did which setup Ukraine today, or do you want mayhem that refines itself like what the Cossack thieves do?
The only problem is there are oligarchic criminals who rival the Cossack thieves who also oppose the communists. They are objectively corrupt and take a middle position between the two.
Ukraine declared independence via the communist party in 1991.And rooting for communism over democracy, they'll side with anyone over Biden. BDS...
Sorry you feel insulted it wasn't my intention. I was just posting recent research on psychology and political ideology.Thinly veiled personal insults are the last resort of those who know they are in the wrong.

Being pro-Russia is being anti-communist. Even Putin chastised the communists for creating an independent Ukraine: https://www.newsweek.com/putin-invo...in-stalin-says-russia-created-ukraine-1681185
Russia isn't what it was 30 years ago.Being pro-" US enemy" is being anti-communist? WTF?
You should start a breaking news thread to share that recent research from 3/21. /sSorry you feel insulted it wasn't my intention. I was just posting recent research on psychology and political ideolog
What's your point? Are saying that the US government doesn't consider Russia to be an enemy?Russia isn't what it was 30 years ago.

Your posts make no sense to me. My step father was Russian, my uncle was Ukrainian. They didn't speak the same language. My Uncle never described himself as a Russian. In the Newsweek piece, Putin refers to Ukraine as though its a possession which belongs to him. As far as I can discern from the media, Ukrainians have a sense of national identity and the majority do not wish to be ruled by Russia. It is my understanding that they gave up nuclear weapons with the expectation that their national sovereignty would be respected.Ukraine declared independence via the communist party in 1991.

TUcker Carlson is very pro Russia and you have to wonder why. He seems to think that Russia was our ally in WWII, rather than just another country fighting Germany. We were never "true" allies, just fighting a common enemy.We did loan Russia military supplies, a loan that they have refused to pay for ever since. In fact, Russia did not enter the war with Japan until we had them pretty much finished. And after the end of the war showed us how much of an "ally" he was with his actions in Western Europe. It took over 50 years to undo that and now Tucker Carlson is rooting for us to go back to the very hot cold war. You have to wonder if the right wing wonder boy is getting paid by Putin. I would not doubt it to be true. Carlson's Trump probably still owes the Russian huge amounts of money he has borrowed from them through various banks.Tucker Carlson’s defense of Russia takes "America First" to its logical conclusion

Putin's reference was that communists tore Russia apart by increasing Ukrainian autonomy. Before the Soviet Union, Imperial Russia went through an extensive Russification process for Ukraine to assimilate it when it was absorbed from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.Your posts make no sense to me.

So you are saying he is a fascist like his friends in Russia and Hungary.The rise of Trump resulted in a shift in conservative politics towards a more European style traditionalist/nationalist/populist streak rather than the neoconservative laissez faire type that was more prevalent during the Bush Administration. Part of that package is a re-evaluation of American foreign policy from a more interventionist stance to one more aligned with maintaining national sovereignty and culture. It's natural Tucker Carlson, who has been one of the most vocal proponents of this shift, gravitate towards like minded sentiments found in Russia and Hungary.

Not really. Though fascism is not any generic right wing government, it does not have a specific definition.Fascism has specific definitions and meanings, not just any generic right wing nationalist government.
Russia and the US, when Ukraine became a separate state, guaranteed its security if it gave up its nukes, which it had many. Now Putin is breaking that promise by his intervention in that country. Is seems the best thing is never believe the word of whoever is the dictator in that country.Putin's reference was that communists tore Russia apart by increasing Ukrainian autonomy. Before the Soviet Union, Imperial Russia went through an extensive Russification process for Ukraine to assimilate it when it was absorbed from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Ukrainian nationalism is comparable to Kurdistan, Scotland, Catalonia, and other regions which have stateless cultures. It's a dream that goes back to the turn of the 17th century before the Cossacks pledged allegiance to Russian monarchs in exchange for protection during The Deluge that happened alongside the 30 Years War when people fought for religious self-determination.
You're also going to struggle to fund sympathies for language based nationalism in NATO now where multiculturalism is prevalent, especially among political parties currently in charge of governments. Why would Ukraine want to join NATO or the EU if its sovereignty is defined by the language of its culture?

I should have said dictatorship as that is what both Russia and Hungary have become. Tell me I am wrong and I can tell you where you live.Fascism has specific definitions and meanings, not just any generic right wing nationalist government.
Why have Americans embraced social democracy and social welfare programs like those advocated by Euromaiden which are watered down versions of what the communist party previously practiced in Ukraine after it declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991?The real question is why does Tucker Carlson hate America so much? Why does he hate freedom?
