In reply to the discussion: Muslim ban? How about a goddamn Russian ban? [View all]LSFL
(1,112 posts)28. so now i have to argue with dems about the Russian menace
I think it is clear that i was referring to the kleptocracy that runs Russia nnowadays and the criminals that come here and build criminal syndicates. Say it is disgusting all you want. But my country is worth fighting for and I would be willing to do more than scour forums looking to take offense on behalf of hypothetical people in order to preserve it.
Make no mistake. As with Trump, there is a sizable fraction of assholes in Russia that support these monsters.
But I take no offense at your outrage and welcome a lively debate. I was born in 1969. I see what the Russians are. I see it very well.

Interesting that 1000 posts in 90 days types are cheering the bigotry of the OP. Country-wide bans

I wrote nothing about treason or death, so stop stuffing words into people's mouths.

Today's Russia is wholly owned and operated by a gang of murderous thieves and looters

Bigotry and prejudice are not complicated. Don't go the RW path of seeking simplistic solutions. nt

Oh, but they do have fear. One of Trump's greatest fears is being exposed for the charlatan he truly is.

You would be surprised at the number of undocumented and documented Russian criminals here in US.

Bunch of posters trying to outdo each other with ridiculous statements, starting with the OP.

No. You were clearly calling for a "Russian ban", your words, your title.
