I’m not from the US, so I’m curious why Americans still wants him back. I always see him as a bad mouthed guy and was worse when he lost in 2020. But feel free to change my mind. This question is also for non-trump supporters who can think of one thing (if you can) on why he’s good for the top position.

    I’m not really sure what thread you’re talking about, but I’m content with where I am here :)

    Ok, sure :)

    Aleksandr Dugin

    I never heard of this guy, so thanks for the info. He doesn’t seem to be anyone really important though, I quickly read some info about him and he just seems to be an “influencer” to me if I may use this word, not sure why you consider him Putin’s right hand…

    The entire culture of Russia has become heavily anti-immigrant.

    Are you saying that being anti-immigrant is somehow equal to being a nazi? I haven’t yet heard such a take.
    Anyway, I found this article from UN (which was published just 3 years ago, I don’t think it can be considered outdated already?) which says Russia is actually in top 5 countries by the amount of immigrants.
    https://news.un.org/ru/story/2021/01/1394392

    Wagner itself had nazi origins.

    Yeqh, this one I can believe.

    Putin is committing now just an attempted genocide in Ukraine

    Well, if you can call this a genocide, then I can definitely call the kidnappings of people from the streets and forcefully sending them to die to frontlines by Zelensky’s regime a genocide. And a Ukrainian right now is more likely to die from that, than from some shelling or otherwise becoming a civil casualty.

    Forgetting the fact that Russia now has one of the worst ratings for Corruption and Journalistic Transparency in the world, matching the likes of the Taliban in Afghanistan — LOL.

    I’m not sure which exactly index you are talking about (I’m not denying it though, this seems quite plausible to me), but I’m sure that if this index is in any way reliable, Ukraine would be somewhere quite close, there is just as much corruption and almost just as little journalistic freedom.

    Oh and of course Putin took a page out of Hitler’s book when he invaded Poland under the false pretenses of protecting Ethnic German and invaded a sovereign neighboring nation. Nothing tops the wrongful, aggressive invasion of a neighboring state as they try to annex territory and commit documented war crime after documented war crime.

    Well yeah his remark about Poland in that interview was indeed stupid.
    Do you think Ukrainian side does not commit “war crimes”? Civilians in Belgorod (and other Russian neighbouring cities) are regularly dying from Ukrainian attacks.

    Yeah yeah, I know people talk of Azov, but that’s <1% of UAF.

    Yeah this is one of my arguments :)
    Glad we can at least agree that those guys are nazis. What do you think about Zelensky (head of state!) making and publishing photos with their commander? Does it look like endorsment of nazism from the highest level of government?

    Second question, what do you think about Stepan Bandera?

    If you’re a Russian or Russian sympathizer

    I am Ukrainian actually. I do not sympathize with Russia, I think everybody is equally bad (except for those who at least try to finish the war, which right now is Trump and Orban).
