    Anti-war people being consistent in their anti-war stance somehow means they’re Putin’s puppets.

      Oh, so Tulsi Gabbard definitely 100% publicly denounced Russia’s unprecedented act of aggression and imperial invasion of Ukraine, right…?

      … Right… ?

          To the contrary, I am conflating the fact that the alleged “anti-war” person (your words) suddenly wasn’t “anti-war” when Russia invaded Ukraine as being a Putin puppet; that, and the fact that US intelligence reports found that Russia was promoting Tulsi as the Democratic primaries candidate in 2020, among other things.

          Bystanders take note how this individual is trying really hard to separate Tulsi Gabbard from the Kremlin. Like, really hard. Deflections and all.

            I don’t give a fuck about those people. What I give a fuck about is this:

            Watching the divide in republican circles on Iran has been a great way to see who is under Kremlin control.

            Is conflating being against the war with Iran with being Putin’s puppet and is drumming support for the war. Stop supporting Trump’s war.

              Never once did I say that solely being against war with Iran meant someone was Putin’s puppet. Never. Either work on your reading comprehension or get your eyes checked.

              What I did say is that those specific Republican members who are known Kremlin parrots conveniently oppose the war for ulterior motives. This much is clear.
