Popping back in just for a moment to say that it's interesting that BRTD's anti-Russian mania started when Putin started a so far completely ineffectual attempt to influence an election in the country BRTD lives in, rather than in 2012, with the (effectual) 'foreign agents' law, or 2013, with the (effectual) anti-LGBT law, or 2014, with the (effectual) Crimean annexation and Donbas invasion.
Oh those things quite upset me. The first couple things though as bad as they weren't much different than other countries, and the last one I did speak out against and you might recall yelling at Snowstalker and TNF for being complete idiots about it. What's really set me off here is that I'm viewing this as an attack by Russia on me and everyone I know. It really put into perspective how terrible that regime is and the threat to the world. The thought of a foreign country trying to impose a President Donald Trump on is so sickening no decent person can take it. Yeah it's too bad we get pretty jaded about foreign stuff and can't muster as much outrage. That's something we've been trying to raise awareness about for awhile. And hopefully this does bring more attention to the evils of Russia around the world amongst others.
Another factor by the way is the reaction of some real downright too moronic for words "leftists", such as displayed here:
