If russia attacked our troops would the trumplovers

side with pootin ?
Not saying they will just a what if.

1. Remember when asking the question that Tuker is in the side of the Russians here.

[Eyeball_Kid]

2. From the "logic of the situation"? Yes.

They'd blame political leaders for upsetting Russia and Putin.

[JustAnotherGen]

7. This

[Bettie]

3. They would declare that

it was all Biden's fault for "making" poor little Vlad do it.

[Walleye]

4. No question about it. They're already lining up on Putin's side

They are all in for Putin at this point.

[BigMin28]

5. Some already are

Rooting for Putin. I went to my Aunt's funeral last weekend. My cousin and several others were discussing the situation with Ukraine. They believe Putin should be allowed to do as he pleases, and America and President Biden should let him go.

Cousin was in the Army for 16 years. Now works for a defense contractor. He left the Army because of a DUI charge. That prevented any further advancement in rank. He is a Trump humper through and through.

6. Draft all of them and send them away.

Oh, wait, I forgot they all suffer from bone spurs.

8. The "own the libs" mindset has gotten so bad I think that if any other country invaded

And told the 30% that they could create a Vichy-esque regime that they could rule as they please (No liberals, no Democrats, no uppity minorities or feminists, no Muslims, no GLBTQ people, etc.) if they aided the invasion then they would leap at the chance.

9. Don't think there's any question

The Former Guy certainly sides with Putin and Fox News has been pumping out pro-Putin stories from the start. The chaos we're experiencing now fits the pattern of churning disinformation and misinformation as a rally point for the True Believers and serves as a distraction as the threat of war increases.

When you see tee-shirts and other items emblazoned with:

I'd Rather Be Russian Than Democrat

I think we can solidly say the propaganda has worked with a segment of the American population. Add that to the dedicated audience Tucker Carlson has despite his seditious howling for all things Putin.

So yes, the Trumphumpers will be on Putin's side against their own countrymen and troops. And perhaps then, the rest of America will be thoroughly repulsed and take seriously what is happening inside our own borders.

[LaMouffette]

10. I'm clinging to the hope that the Trumpies are low-level, uneducated enlisted service members who

got caught up in the Fox News, right-wing media propaganda machine the same way their folks back home did, but that the higher-up, more experienced, better educated commissioned career officers see Putin for the threat to America that he is and Trump for the Russian agent that he is.

The higher-level generals, admirals, and so on undoubtedly realize that any country with hundreds of nuclear missiles aimed at the United States is no friend of our country.

And if you have ever been in the military, you know that the lower-level service members are trained to do EXACTLY what their higher-ups tell them to do. So I don't see the Trumpies siding with Putin in actual combat, even if they might secretly want to.

Of course, if the right-wing has succeeded in poisoning the minds of the higher-ups in the military, we are in deep doo-doo.

15. According to Sheldon Whitehouse,

the propaganda originates from the Federalist Society. It funnels dark money from American oligarchs that has been used to promote critical race theory and used to pass anti-voter laws in the states.

Just an aside; FBI director Chris Wray is a member of the Federalist Society, one of his classmates in law school was Brett Kavanaugh. During Boofer boy's confirmation the FBO received 4,500 complaints about Kavanaugh's sexual assaults, the FBI investigated 10 of them.

As another aside, it is not known whether Merrick Garland is a member of the Federalist Society but he did moderate 10 of their events.

Being a moderator doesn't prove anything, so I'm told.

[LaMouffette]

16. If only we could make the Trump humpers see that it is the Federalist Society and the American

oligarchs and their dark money that is screwing them over. But these are abstractions to them. It's so much easier for them to be persuaded to hate the innocent people that they actually come into contact with in their daily lives (immigrants, Jewish and Muslim people, minorities, Democrats, strong, smart women in politics, Joe and Kamala . . .).

11. Anything to get rid of Biden

And re-install TFG as leader for life.

[stumpysbear]

12. If it hurts Biden, then yes

NFM

[ratchiweenie]

13. I never listen to Faux Snooze or OAN, etc. Can anyone tell me what exactly is their

defense of Putin and the Russian agression and probable invasion of Ukraine? How are they managing to justify it? I can't imagine.

[dalton99a]

14. "It's Biden's fault - Biden Made Him Do It"

[former9thward]

17. Where would Russian troops and American troops be in conflict?

[lagomorph777]

18. That is already the case. Russia attacked our troops and the GQP is siding with Pootie.

19. Did they care when Russia paid bounties on our troops?

[NickB79]

20. Do they blame rape victims be being in the wrong place?

Yes. Yes they do. Same mentality.

"If the troops weren't there, Putin wouldn't have been tempted to attack them. Look at what they were wearing. Full body armor? They were asking for it."
