Why. Opposition to the US military state that profits off of anti-Russia ln sentiment is now not allowed.

Niether is any mention that the US started the coup in Ukraine. Propagandist like yourself have to silence any dissenting voices.

He's trying to improve relations. He's using actions that are a stick, and words that are a carrot.

Crimea? I'm not sure that that should not be Russian. Before the Nazi comparisons, the fact is, mant nations have done the same or similar. The Brits flooded Northern Ireland with proddie Scotsmen, the Chinese flooded Tibet and Xinjiang with Han Chinese, The US flooded America with Anglos and other European settlers, Canada did the same, Australia, New Zealand...



How I justify wanting better relations with the nation with which we fought an enormously expensive cold war? I don't know how you can justify trying to keep Russia an enemy.
Russians didn't even have to "flood" anything in this case.
They "flooded" Crimea back in 1784, after wrestling it from Crimean Khanate, and never left since then.

I have to admit, that there is something strange and wrong with American "left" - at least PART of it.

Only state propagandist like yourself who can’t understand that the US created the Crimea crisis with our coup or the situation in Syria with our funding of terrorists can’t allow free speech without silencing it.

It’s mainly education.

We are taught there are different sides (republicans and democrats) but we can only question government actions to an extent. Past that it’s all bipartisan support that all true ‘patriots’ must never question.

"These liberals" have been at the forefront of resistance against the actions of the U.S. intelligence agencies and military where it has been warranted. Anti-American libertarians and ultra-leftists are absolutist against every branch of the American government and therefore hold on to a militant worldview that every global conflict can be lain solely at the feet of the United States.

Excuse me?!?!?!

How the hell are property rights and non-aggression anti-American? It's why the colonists fought the British Monarchy.

Default Trump says US is entirely to blame for bad relations with Russia. Russia agrees.

Well, tRump performed up to his boss' expectations in Helsinki today.

The guy on the left is nervous in the presence of his master, seated on the right.
