You people have nothing better to do than think up silly questions.

I speak only for myself. I cannot and will not claim to be the voice of all liberals or all Democrats.

Are you serious?

For years, people on the right accused liberals of being too tolerant of Russia. We feared the very idea of war, we protested against nukes, we tried our best to see the Russians as just another bunch of people like us, because in the end, they are.

We listened to this song and prayed for peace.

For this, some called us un-American communist sympathizers. Now, when everything seems upside down, we are suddenly war-mongers, and those on the right are siding with a dictator because one man says he's A-okay? WTH?

No, we do not want war. No sane person wants war with anyone, at any time.

We do want a relationship based on mutual respect, and I, personally, do not believe that Putin respects us, or our current administration. I believe that he knows flattery is his best weapon against the man in the White House. I believe the Russians did interfere with our election, but that who won was secondary to the main goal of disruption, which they have accomplished in a stellar fashion.

This does not mean I want war. It does mean I want people to be aware, and to at least consider the possibility that Putin does not wish us well, rather than attacking each other and our long-standing allies because one man has decided he is our friend.

It's absolutely stunning to me to be longing for the days of Reagan, as the threat of nuclear destruction seemed to loom so much more closely then, but it seems to me, looking back, that at least he and Gorbachev at least saw each other as equals. I don't see that kind of balance in the current relationship. I think Trump is being played, and we are all along for the ride. I hope I am wrong. I fear I am not.

No. We do not want war. We do want someone who actually stands up for us and for our allies, rather than his own inflated ego.

Any more questions?

You beg the question. You set up a false narrative to plant the idea in people's heads that somehow Democrats are war-mongering.

I wonder why you do not ask the question "does Russia want to start a war with the USA?" because they are the aggressors.

For all of that MAGA talk about national sovereignty and strong borders, Trumplodytes look like enormous hypocrites, unwilling to defend us against these incursions. Trumplodytes are total weasel sell-outs and should be ashamed.

Trump sycophants are disgusting quislings.
