But.. Fuck the fucking Kremlin, that's for fucking sure.I wonder, what percentage of the Russian population would it take to revolt? Unfortunately (at least according to the Washington Post) 58% of Russians approve of the Ukraine invasion, while 23 oppose it. Of course, an a couple of equally good questions are, How did WAPO get those stats, and How accurate are they?

This was sarcasm, right>?
And no need to worry yourself about my ability to delineate differences between homeland politics and international politics. I thought that I sort of pointed that out in my post. But just to set your mind at ease, I won't be outraged when Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn't on my next US ballot.
I'm guessing that we love Ukrainians telling Russians to "fuck off" about as much as those who side with Russian policy love seeing "Fuck Joe Biden" flags in the US. Those same people might also think it's the downfall of society to see "Fuck Vlad Putin" flags flown in their homeland.
And for the record, I'm one of the people (the "we") I refer to in my post. I'm merely pointing out that the dissociation involved is interesting (to me at least).
If you don't think so, feel free to not comment -- or you could always take some advice from our favorite Snake Island gentlemen and scholars.
To your third sentence, that might be a cogent argument if the "Fuck Joe Biden" flags and the "Fuck putin on the ritz" flags were both being flown in Moscow, or NYC's Brighton Beach or Miami's Sunny Isle Beach. If memory serves, no one here and certainly not me think that either of those things happening "think its the downfall of society."
To your fourth sentence, how is there or how has anyone who has posted here dissociated themselves? Try flying a "fuck putin on the ritz" banner or flag in Moscow and see how long it takes to be sent to the gulag. As far as I know, Hillary, Obama or Brandon haven't had anyone arrested, detained or imprisoned for flying a "Fuck Joe Biden" sign or banner. However, I do know of a woman being arrested and detained in Moscow for holding a blank sign in protest. I guess, in your mind, those things are close enough but not quite the same and it all makes for an interesting observation?
Now excuse me while I breathlessly run to type disingenuous, bad faith arguments for pages on end. And I could give two fucks if "anyone gets something out of "it."

More things I view as political discourse that you may not since none of those involved ever ran for office (AFAIK).

Ask an average 8 or 16 year old what any of those mean to them and their answer is likely to be vastly different than your crusty old asses observation. And they’d likely be different a year, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 100 years from now as well.

Maybe "This is our fucking city," a vulgar political response that nearly everyone rallied behind after a couple of kids blew up some folks in Boston, is a better corollary to the Snake Island salute. But for the record, none of these things are the same, and I never intimated nor even implied that that they were so.
That was all inferred.
They are in a similar category the way that ice hockey and baseball are both sports or humans and lobsters are both animals.
But I guess I must've displayed an astounding inability to distinguish nuance here in the past to have been so misinterpreted.
Thanks, though.
Edited for empathy.
If you can finally see that pointing out correlations is a very different thing from saying that those correlatives are the exact same thing (and then breathlessly running with that disingenuous, bad faith argument for pages on end), I may eat my oldest flyswatter Boston Red Sox baseball cap.
I merely said that I found it interesting. I also find it interesting that lobsters and human beings both turn red in boiling water.
I actually don't post here to argue.0 -

Atrocities. It's insanity.
CBS News Headline
Putin says Russia's "noble" war on Ukraine to enter new phase with peace talks at "dead end" as atrocities mountKyiv — Russia's response to international outrage over Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine has been to double down on propaganda. In the recaptured town of Bucha, north of Kyiv, Ukrainian investigators are exhuming body bags from mass graves as part of a war crimes investigation. But in Russia, Putin once again lied to his people about what's really happening in the war.CBS News correspondent Chris Livesay reports that while the dust settles in and around the capital in the wake of the Russian forces' retreat, Ukraine's president is warning his people that the war is only entering a new stage of terror, with atrocities against civilians following every Russian bootprint.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-news-russia-war-vladimir-putin-atrocities-peace-talks-donbas/
