Any of you DUers been following how Faux .... or other RWNJ sources...

...are covering the Ukraine invasion?

I can't bring myself to look. But I know some of you are brave souls.
I went to Freepland... site-searched for "Ukraine"... read the first two posts and comments... and threw up in my mouth a little.

Anybody got a summary?

I have yet to see them covering the war, just the usual complaining about Biden and transsexual athletes.

Many (perhaps most) say "it is not our fight, we should not be aiding either side". I think that is moral weakness. But the split between Putinistas and Putin haters is very wide.

The Putinistas are rather nonsensensical, deluded, and completely bought into the "Ukes are nazis and Putin is fully justified" line.

The Putin haters interestingly have some very perceptive points and dig up some fascinating analysis (such as tlozo's posts).

A few selections for entertainment: NorseViking is particularly deeply deluded, or is a Russian troll (I think the former). The user Greetings_Puny_Humans is the most effective at knocking the Putinists.

This is not a negative turning point for Putin. Quite the
contrary. Putin will be more popular than ever and have a better world
standing than say, the illegitimate resident Biden or Trudeau or
Macron or Scholz end even mask and shutdown vacillating Boris Johnson.

Boy are you going to be disappointed when you find out this was a
white hat operation approved by Trump. 😏

Once Russia is done with Ukraine, they can add Hokkaido to Sakhalin oblast.

Quite a contrast of Putin promoting Christianity vs. Biden the
promoter of demonic satanism and globohomo.

And this guy was slow. I saw posts about incoming scenes of mass
murder even before that. And these threads have been getting posted
for at least the past 24 hours, maybe longer.

The other problem with your bullshit is that it would require the
Ukrainians to kill 500+ civilians and dig mass graves in less than 24
hours in order to post atrocity photos and videos, and this without
any evidence or outcry from civilians who had been occupied for three
weeks by Russians.
You should go back to your "crisis actor" propaganda. This one is a
dud on arrival.

I'm going to enjoy watching NATO get its teeth folded back.

It was a Ukrainian missile. So not Russian troops.
Also these are pro Russian folk, so why would Russia attack them? Nonsense.
