Funny how Democrats and the Left now pretend to be anti Russia

[Toddsterpatriot]

All existed before Reagan became President

Best thing Reagan did was to work with Gorbachev and not try to exploit the crumbling USSR

Russia was still expanding before Reagan.

"they generally hate Putin and Russia"....

Okay…they HATE PUTIN AND RUSSIA!

They get duped by government war propaganda and hysteria, just like the left does.

Ahh, a old "cold warrior". Maybe you could earn you some good extra coin, the networks are trotting out all of the old cold warriors they can find to opine on the troubles in Ukraine. May as well get in on the payday.

I'm just one of the minor lil' guys that served. i may have briefed eschelons above reality a time or two, but not one that was supposed to be pulling the strings. I like Gen McCaffrey. I'd trust this car to the man who wore the star(s).

Trump said those things less than 2 weeks ago.

He also covered putin in the last two week. Why did Biden go on the house floor personally and tell them not to sanction Russia in December? The only president to do so.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Actual History reports just that

Sure it does. Did you also know one magical day all kkk democrats became non racists. It’s true. It really is!

White6.

oh, well, aside from supporting Trump I'm not judging. I voted for W because I thought Gore would get troops between the Pales and Israelis LOL

I don't have issues with either of you guys.

Were they easier than Bush?

When Obama said he'd be more flexible, was he promising to be tougher?

I don't think so, on either of those two questions.

 

[jknowgood]

Trump sent Mike Flynn to tell Putin to laugh off Obama’s sanctions because he would repeal them as soon as he became President

Yet he put more sanctions on putin. Which Biden came along and did away with. Why did Biden go to the house floor and ask them not to sanction Russia in December?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

?

I think they called it the southern strategy. It was an amazing day!

 

[bodecea]

I haven’t read support of Putin by Rs on this forum. Could it be you misrepresented their posts?

The OP mentioned the love the left once had for Russia. This is factual no? Do you dispute this?

You haven't seen the "Rootin' for Putin" threads?

Trump signaling to Putin that he has a Vagina

I guess they were hoping we would forget all the decades of the Democrats running interference for the Soviets, and the Left’s history of fighting for commies all over the world.

The hypocrisy of the Democratic Russia hawks​

Those unpredictable Democrats. Now they are Russia hawks.

But during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union posed an existential threat to our democracy, not so much. Most Democrats opposed the Reagan policies that led to the fall of the Soviet empire. They fought the Reagan defense buildup and his Strategic Defense Initiative (which Sen. Edward Kennedy dismissed as “Star Wars” and Sen. John Kerry called “a dream based on illusion”). They supported the Soviet-supported nuclear freeze movement and opposed Reagan’s deployment of intermediate-range nuclear missiles to Western Europe. They criticized Reagan’s efforts to arm freedom fighters seeking to overthrow Soviet puppet regimes and support to pro-American governments fighting communist insurgencies.

Old habits of appeasement die hard, so when the Cold War ended the Democrats continued their soft line toward Moscow. Democratic opposition to President George W. Bush’s withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty was more strident than that of Vladimir Putin. There was virtual silence from Democrats when President Barack Obama callously threw Poland and the Czech Republic under the bus by canceling our missile defense agreements in an effort to appease Moscow.
In 2012, when Mitt Romney called Russia our “No. 1 geopolitical foe,” Democrats mocked him mercilessly. Obama told Romney, “The 1980s, they’re now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.” And Vice President Joe Biden said Romney “acts like he thinks the Cold War is still on.” The Republican focus on Russia was considered laughable by most Democrats.

Not only did Democrats oppose Reagan’s policies, they heaped scorn on his blunt anti-Communist rhetoric. After Reagan called on the Soviets to “tear down” the Berlin Wall, Democratic House Speaker Jim Wright declared that he had “utter contempt for Reagan” because he had “spoiled the chance for a dramatic breakthrough in relations between our two countries.”

As I have frequently said on this forum, I am amazed at how often the Trumptards sound exactly like those old comm symp lefties.

It wasn't long ago when the kenyan lawn jockey and hildebeest were selling the Russians our uranium stockpile.

Wrong. I can't believe there are still tards parroting this lie.

I guess hoaxes never truly die.

O'REILLY: Putin's a killer.

TRUMP: There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?

Funny how Republicans are pretending they aren't pro-trump/putin, anti-NATO now that it looks like the whole world is cheering Ukraine and not them.

Make sure you welcome the Ukrainian refugees with open arms.
