What "roll over" - Russia is across the ocean, and all these reported "cyber attacks" are questionable, to say the least.

Not only that - all these worthless sanctions brought Russia to closer cooperation with China.

Now THAT is a problem.

Sounds like he's condemning Russia for doing what he and his supporters are doing here. It's awfully hypocritical.

Sanctioning a superpower is a waste of time. Russians have to solve that problem. Not us. We have our own problems.

Where do you get the idea that this is a conflict between the regime and "the people"?

Its also apparent they don't understand Putin. This does nothing but make him feel it more important to be tough.

Trump buttered him up. But killed his mercenaries, gave the Ukraine weapons to kill Russian soldiers and stopped the one sided overflight deal.

Anyway, because that protest was put down, Bahrain is much better off today. Is Syria better off by Obama fanning the flames of protest? What about Libya?

So I hope for Russia’s sake, the unrest is put down, because if it isn’t, you could end up with a destabilized nuclear power.

But there is idiot Biden fanning the flames just like Obama did. You can’t fix stupid.
Don't forget Libya where Obama went in and bombed a dictator who was harmless to his neighbors and created a continuing war and a failed state filled with terrorists.

Kind of similar to what Bill Clinton did in Bosnia and Kosovo. Serbia wasn't any threat to us.

Trump gave the Ukrainians anti-tank missiles to kill Russians. And he didn't say mean things about Putin.

If you are shallow enough to think talk means something, well then Obama-Biden was your team.

Why do WE have to fix all the world’s problems?

Also you completely missed that these “human rights abuses” are starting to occur HERE by the very same ideology that issued this statement.

Define Pro Russia. I detest the Russians. Anyone that interacts with them at all is less than thrilled. That said, it isn't the job of the USA to Police Russia or the world. Let the UN do its job. If the UN doesn't work then we need to withdraw from the UN and stop spending billions on it.

Well its not our say.

Russians like Putin because what came before impoverished them and was filled with corruption.
They've still got corruption, but not as much and they are eating better.
This is a people that spent 75 years under communism and only had 5 years of crony capitalist freedom. They have chosen what is effectively fascism as a compromise.

Its the same reason a lot of young people choose horrible Democrat policies that have failed repeatedly in the past. But their experience is George W. Bush, the endless wars and the 2008 recession.
