So you don’t like this move purely because of Russia?

I don’t know whether to support the move, I don’t like the optics of speaking of your warm relations with a fascist regime, and I think it is generally a mistake to trust a fascist regime with your security.

I think you need some historical perspective on this because you sound exactly the same as any western liberal.

Hey you know who said pretty much the same about Putin dealing with the oligarchs and not being so bad and actually their government is good and cool now? The obama state department before the Syrian civil war. I think the ones lacking historical perpective isn’t me., I think it’s you guys. And given the immutable fact that I am right (always) and that I’m not the one in agreement with the US state department back when it wanted to have good Russian relations, I’m pretty confident in saying so.

Nobody’s telling you not to argue for your point of view here, but this “I’m always right” bit doesn’t make you sound confident, it makes you sound like a smug prick

Given that I am in the company of a bunch of smug pricks, it would seem only natural to act this way.

I’m gonna need some proof on this because I’ve never seen or heard such a thing. Not to mention Putin was not able to fully deal with the Russian oligarchs (WHO HAD CONNECTIONS TO WESTERN POWERS) until the US sanctioned them.

And given the immutable fact that I am right (always)

Very cute.
