Using the same logic/justification, the UK will be invading us shortly.

That's a stretch. Assuming you couldn't come up with your usual reflexive Gardner hate comment.

Putin is going to turn Russia into a developing country. Russia will go bankrupt early 2027

Does that mean,” The British are coming?”

Sycophantic bullshit.

DL is truly a bootlicker's bootlicker.

Based on these comments, I would venture to say none of the commenters have lived outside of the states, nor visited a foreign country for more than 2 weeks. "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it solely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Mark Twain

Putin wants to recreate the Soviet Union and Stalinism.

DL Gardner just told us whose side he's on, which comes as no surprise, considering he has been repeating Russian propaganda for years.

@1:09 PM here - You are wrong. Lived in six (6) countries and visited sixty (60) countries.

"Putin is bringing (Ukraine) back into the fold of Mother Russia."
Except he folds his dead into a traveling crematorium to avoid bringing home trains full of Russian corpses.
DL wants Vlad sainted, aye?

"If a man thinks he is not conceited, he is very conceited indeed."

Americans have not fought a war on our own soil since the Civil War aka The War Between the States.

Other than the ones that the history professor from Dunning Kruger missed:

The attack on Pearl Harbor:

4 battleships sunk
4 battleships damaged
1 ex-battleship sunk
1 harbor tug sunk
3 light cruisers damaged
3 destroyers damaged
3 other ships damaged
188 aircraft destroyed
159 aircraft damaged
2,008 sailors killed
109 Marines killed
218 soldiers killed
68 civilians killed
2,403 total killed[
1,178 military and civilians wounded[5]

The Aleutian Campaign:


1,481 killed
640 missing
3,416 wounded
8 captured
225 aircraft destroyed
3 warships sunk:
USS Worden (DD-352)
USS S-27 (SS-132)
USS Grunion (SS-216

U.S. Navy vessels heavily damaged:
USS Salt Lake City (CA-25)
USS Abner Read (DD-526)

Plus there was the Battle for Wake Island and The Phillipine Campaign.

"Vladimir Putin is likely the least understood man in the world. In many ways he is like Donald Trump "
" Russia-Ukraine is not war. Putin’s Russia is bringing her children back into the fold of Mother Russia."

Comrade Gardner is an idiot that always makes me laugh each time I read his nonsense.

Well 3:22, I spent 3 weeks in Jamaica a few years ago.
Within my first 48 hours in that nation. I realized the poorest folks in our Mississippi Delta live like royalty compared to the average Jamaican.

“ He has served as a primary leader of Russia since 2000, and president since 2012.”

Really? Served? How cute. More like put his little dictator claws into Russia and cannot let go.

I grew up under communism (and yes, traveled extensively too). I like the Russian people too. Good hearted people are everywhere. But it is shocking to see that someone who teaches (!) at a university so easily falls for Putin’s propaganda. Total failure. Similar to the woke folks, just from the other political side. Unbelievable!

It was embarrassing to read.

Does anyone else remember that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, gangsters took over the abandoned Soviet infrastructure in Russia? They became known as Russian Oligarchs. Putin came to power and spent years regaining control of those industries with public/private partnerships very similar to China. It is speculated that he alone is the richest man on the planet, worth well over $1 trillion USD.

Daniel's words make me want to barf. Russian is not our friend. I thought Trump and his sycophants were making AMERICA great, not Russia. Yet here is it - MAGA devotion to a brutal, cruel, lying destroyer of Ukraine. I know several Russians who now live in the US. They fled here from Putin and are trying to get their loved ones out of Russia. And, no, they aren't mail order Russian brides, either.

Agreed. U gotta realize that we all come from different backgrounds. Glad u pointed it out. History is so important and I believe MS cut it as a state requirement for high school graduation. That along with not teaching cursive and core math. MS graduates are not getting smarter. Most Mississippians stay in this state and have no idea of a better, more fair, more competitive, more socialized places to live because they only know the good ole boy system here. The MS system resorts to corruption and greed and the citizens suffer. We need to understand history and consequences. Until we can do that, the craziness continues. There are so many opportunities for seniors and our youth. U can see it once u remove urself from the filth. The game now is to move where the resources are (medical) and the amenities and services are better. It tends to create nicer, more compassionate people. As I say, u won’t turn any society around quickly but u gotta know the problems to fix them. MS doesn’t realize what her problems are and the are snowballing.

No mention of NATO and its expansion by DL or JJ commenters. Americans are typically simple and perceive conflict as either a land grab or some stepping stone toward invading Murka and/or “taking over the world.”

Trump will fail to bring peace between Russia and Ukraine because this isn’t, as he sees it, some real estate deal.

Traveling overseas can certainly broaden your mind. But if your mind is an oafish, obtuse , dunderhead to begin with then a bushel of Russian missionary trips is unlikely to make a dent.

I’ve been acquainted with a Russian for 7 years. Coder. Smart as a whip. He’s not happy with the current state of affairs. His main concern seems to be what the world thinks of Russian abilities. He does not want the world to think Russia is weak. He also hates Putin. Makes for a very difficult discussion.

I never thought I'd live to see any American trusting and defending a KGB officer and pedaling their inaccurate propaganda. Ukraine was only part of the Soviet Union for 9 years.
So I guess those who agree with DL think we need to return our some of our states and territories. Did DL ever take American history?
I also doubt very seriously, that those Russians DL spoke to trusted him enough to tell him the truth. Do you think they are so ignorant they'd trust a propagandist preacher from Mississippi with their true political views about Putin and risk Siberia? ROFL

Nothing about America's relationship with Russia makes sense until you realize that "our" expert class really hates the Russian people and for reasons that nothing to do with America.

@8:26
I agree fellow traveler. Probably has something to do with Putin’s war on (((oligarchs)))

@4:27 Please remind me again what years that Alaska, Hawaii, and The Philippines, became US states?

I have been telling you for years that DL was a Putin lapdog.

@9:10 It goes way farther back than that, but mostly they're angry that they lost the influence and privilege they had in the early USSR. So they fled en masse, joined up with the USSR's main rival, and even 50 years later are working to punish their former hosts/subjects. In a century or so they'll probably all be in China doing the same thing to us that they're doing to the Russians right now.

Please, nobody should take anything this simpleton offers as fact.

Chernobyl is about to melt down. No idea when but when it does nobody will want that region. Never should have given up nukes.

To me Russia seems to suffer from a national inferiority complex, obsessed with the way others perceive it (as either strong or weak), and a never-ending cycle of resentment, retaliation, and self-pity.

In other words, Russia acts like a national alcoholic.

There is a reason why Russia's invading soldiers steal toilets while looting, and it isn't so blind deaf and dumb visitors like DL can defecate indoors in comfort.

Hey D.L. let me give some numbers you probably are blissfully unaware of or choose to ignore completely.
Over 100 journalist murdered since Putin came to power
In the last 30 months 17 Russian politicians, businessmen and leaders of the arts have fallen out of windows to their deaths.
Killings outside of Russia using nerve agents and polonium-210(highly radioactive extremely toxic)
How about a couple on U.S. soil
Mikhail Lesin former Putin advisor found dead in a D.C. hotel 2015 from blunt force trauma aka beaten to death unsolved by the way.
American expert on Russian Intelligence Paul Joyal shot multiples times outside his D.C. home thankfully survived. Wallet and briefcase not taken.
Appeared on dateline the week before to discuss the Kremlin's role in the
Litvinenko murder pulonium-210. Unsolved.
Next time you meet with Vald stay on the first floor. Just saying.

Very Funny D.L....Now Go To Gulag...

@4:09 I’m pretty sure Chernobyl melted down in 1986 and the “elephants foot” as they call the molten core, will meltdown for another 1000+ years.

"If you sit in on a poker game and don’t see a sucker, get up. You’re the sucker.”

Putin is a very bad guy. What people fail to see is that Zelenskyy is also a very bad guy with many similarities to Putin.

This is why I come here to read the comments, especially on the DL posts. So many unsupported BS statements and claims.

Like this one @8:22.

Even if it's true, what does that have to do with anything?

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, Zelenskyy was elected in 2019, so that's not a casus belli.

Yes, love for Putin , the former KGB officer, is hard to understand...unless you hope to be an oligarch in an oligarchy. I suspect people with millions, think they have a chance. Poor fools who should pay more attention to the details of history as it happens.

Just a reminder: a few hours at a cruise ship port of call does not go toward completing your foreign travel requirement that provides perspective. The same holds for military service at some foreign outpost.
